Talk Fantasy Football

I'll be starting a new chaos team and I'm hesitating for one of these two:
Nurgle

1 Beast...........140
4 Warriors......440
1 Pestigor.........80
5 Rotters........200
4 RR...............280
5 FF.................50
Total ----1200k TV

Chaos

4 Warriors........400k
8 beastmen......480k
Apothecary........50k
3 RR................210k
6 FF...................60k
Total--------1200k TV

I'm tempted by Nurgle's Beast & all the D.Presences/Foul Appearances.

In my league there's Dwarf, Chaos Dwarf, Pro Elf, Dark Elf, Wood Elf, Goblins, Skavens and Orcs. The Dwarves, orcs and DElves are 180-210TR (league still in LRB 4.0 for now)

Nurgle is definitely the weaker roster - choose it for fun, not to win.
On the chaos roster, consider maximizing the RRs to 5 by dropping a beatman, some FF and the apo. You don't really need to buy much more than that, so low FF should be OK.

can nurgle teams use pestigors?????

i thought it was just rotters, warriors and a beast of nurgle big guy!

since when has the rules been updated/changed?

tnx, matt.

It's the new PBBL Nurgle Roster that's been talked about here.

For your convinience here's a copy of it.

There's a link to the latest PBBL PDF in the vault section of the forum. You can read up about the skills/stars in there.

o right, so its not new models or updated rules ?

thought id missed something there

lol

So what you suggest is:

Chaos

4 Warriors........400k
7 beastmen......420k
5 RR................350k
3 FF...................30k
Total--------1200k TV

Might be working, especially since i want to create a versatile team, not a pure violence, with big-hand/sure hands/extra arms combo, pass block/disturbing Presence, juggernaut/frenzy on a beastmen. Things like that.

Your roster looks pretty good, though I'm a bit confused by your earlier statement that your league is still in LRB4.0 format. Will that be changed before you start your team?

I'm playing Khemri, so i'll probably wait until 5.0 to play my Chaos (althought i could get a head start and pick up some Blocks and general skills if i start now), but at any rate, i have still a few matches to complete, so i'll probably still be with Khemri as far as april.

You should play Halflings , the only team with lower AV than mine.

Chaos seems much more versatile than Nurgle, and your really pretty Mino could do a come-back (horns, Frenzy, juggernaut = Evil blitzer).

I WILL play halfling someday. Love them.
But for now, I'm laying the smackdown!

A general question now about warriors, if you roll up a +1Ag on a Warrior, would you take it or go for a normal skill? a 5449 warrior can be interesting, but will he really carry the ball? When you have a beastman with surehands/block. Don't that just become a pump in TV?

Well, the agility would still make him mobile, and that's never a bad thing. In a pinch, the agility could be used to make him a thrower, catcher, dodge/assist type player, etc. etc. Would make him very versatile.

We have an AG4 Chaos Warrior in our League and I really hate him. But not as much as our Block/Dodge/AG4 Rat-Ogre

ag4 is useful for a lot more than just carrying the ball. it allows him to make a dodge to hit the guy he WANTS to hit instead of whatever schmoe your opponent puts in front of him. not that the ag3 ones can't do that in a pinch, but with ag4 you're a lot better at it.

an AG4 chaos warrior is most definitely a good thing.

I dont know about dodging, isn't it just better bump the puny mortal beside him!?
Kidding, I know that sometimes it would be better to move (alone against Deeproot, need his guard somewhere vital, etc.) But would that really be worth havving the Warrior be worth like 140k... instead of 120k and getting, say block to further his role as a Blocker?

He can get block as next skill, but i doubt he will ever roll another +ag. Take it. Dodging, passing, ball carrying Chaos Warriors are sweet.
