I'm considering starting an orc team with the following lineup in my local league:

4 x Blitzer
4 x Black Orc
4 x Goblin
3 Re-rolls
2 Fan Factor

The main point here is to do something a bit different (I do have a soft spot for gobbos). I know its not the optimal starting roster, but I think this could be interesting to play.

Anyone here who have tried something like this?

Gobbos are great. I love using them as go-anywhere assists and constant scoring threats. Dodg ethem through to your opponents backside and make them a pain-in-the-(well)backside.

I've been very successful with a similar lineup. I don't remember being able to start with all 4 Blitzers and Black Orcs though. Probably because I like the Thrower.

I've started with 2 goblins in our local league. They really did help me to win some of my first matches. One of them died soon, the other one has more SSP's than his teammates (thanks to some TD's und 2x MVP).

I don't regret taking Gobbos in my team, I've reached the Dungeon Bowl semi-finals because of them.

Four goblins on a starting roster can work.

By starting with four you might get a one or two to a couple of skills (Diving Tackle & Side Step) so when you buy your troll you can really cause your opponent problems by throwing them over the LOS to stand next to his ball carrier.

I wouldn't replace them all though. I think two goblins is probably all you want long term. But you might be more sentimental...

I've worked at it (my Orc team has gone through 18 total games) and I've settled down to 4 Blorcs, 4 Blitzers, 1 Thrower, 1 Troll and 2 Goblins.... It's almost my starting lineup (I got rid of the two lineorcs)....

It's a very resilient team....

The danger is always against sides with lots of block. If they remove your gobbos, you're left outnumbered. Bashy teams like orcs always struggle when outnumbered.
