Talk Fantasy Football

So, I've got this nice and small tourney coming up in July. TV will be 1000 (standard, so to speak) skills will be random on random players (i.e. you roll for the player, then you roll if you get a skill, double, stat, etc).

I was going to skip the Dark elf, but he's too good as a ball carrier and mobile (easy dodges, well relatively or however it's spelt) threat.
I like the gob for the 1ttd idea and he brings flavour to the team. The skaven is good enough with it's movement. I like him.
I dont see a reason NOT to take 3 BGs, the team might not be competitive but at least with 3 biggies you can cause some hurt.

So:

3 BGs
6 marauders
skaven
gobbo
darkie
2 rerolls.
12 players

2 rerolls isnt a lot, but skipping the darkelf for a reroll almost guarantees me using one to pick up the ball anyway. At least, that's the idea.

3 rerolls and all the BGs sees me with more or less basic linemen and only 11 players. Casualties will hurt. As will fouling/failing.

Any ideas ? If I'd to skip a BG, I'd probably dith the troll. RS is bad if the rest of the team has to move forward. Pushing opponents next to your mino isnt that hard (MOST of the time) anyway. And a solitair mino will stay a threat. A lonely troll is basically just a square you cant enter...

Well, i'm not totally skilled with the team, but your roster is correct. 12 players, 2 RR.

You can always give leader with a basic skill to a marauder, so you would get the third RR.

Don't take troll out. Sure RS is bad, but at least he's AV 9, ST 5 and regenerates. And RS is easily negated if he's next to the ogre. Both together can open nice holes in the line or lead your cage forward.

Does the Ogre negate RS on the Troll?

[EDIT: ahh my bad, any non-RS player will do]

Most TV100 teams will only have 11 players on their roster. Try to make as many 3D blocks as possible, Mighty Blow should do the trick. Once you get the numeric advantage, things just might go fine

Allright, 12 players it is.

Thanks !

I would go for the exact same roster!

I think that's what I took last year... did ok... well within the top half IIRC...5th or somewhere around that..
Then again I got Block on the Ogre fairly early... but Leader early if a Marauder comes up is a must...

Random skills are just too unpredictable... I'm sure Geggster's still smiling about his Block Dauntless Halfling taking my Pact apart... I am now but I wasn't at the time!

I've always had a hard time with Chaos Pact vs Halflings too, you don't have enough Block to reliably take out the 'flings.

well 6 dice with the mino every (-1/6) turn should remove quite some halflings ...
