Talk Fantasy Football

hey guys.
i will be starting a leage soon with the following teams(give or take..)
3 skaven(!)
1 chaos
1 rotters
1 amazon
1 dwarf
prolly 1 human
1 ork

might get some others but not sure.

so. i would like to eather run WE or lizzardmen.
after checkin out these fourms.. whats looks the ebst so far are:
WE:
10 linelfs
1 wardancer
2 RR
8FF(?)

LM:
6 saurs
5 skinks
2 RR
9 FF
10k

givven my short experience in BB... what team do you guys think would stand a better chance?

also... would you use a diffrent roster for eather team? i do not want to start with a krox.. mostly cuz $ shortage

thanks!

I would play with Lizzies, because there are 3 running skavens but also some ST teams witch U can beat with your Saurusi.
For the starting roster I think it's good, maybe 3rd TRR is the only thing I would change. But I understand that U want 9FF and as many saurusi as possible.
I'd start with:
5x saurus
6x skink
3 TRR
6FF
or even
4x saurus
7x skink
3 TRR
8FF

Juggernaut

3 Skaven and an Amazon team means that Tackle will be the premier skill for almost any team on defence. I'd suggest you go with the Woodies, if only because it is so incredibly tedious to get tackle on a lizardman team.

It looks like a great environment for a Chaos Dwarf squad, though.

Agree with Skummy. CD's could flourish here. Personally I would go with DE's.

yah i LOVe chaos dwarfs... i mean come on... chaos... AND dwarfs in one? how can u go wrong with that?!

but as i said... cash shortage... and i hate the current CD models... but since it looks like warmachiens of chaos is comming out sometime after new woodelfs... u can bet ill be preordering some of thos punks...

leage dosnt start for a few weeks... so im just gonna paint up both teams and see what everyone says

thanks!

I know it isn't the favourite WE line-up, but I usually play this:
9 linemen
2 catchers
2 re-rolls
ff 9

The two catcher are great because of their high movement and dodge, and it gives your opponent 2 players to worry about, instead of just the one wardancer. If I start with the wardancer, it always gets killed in turn 3.
Try to play people with high fan factor for the first few games so yu can buy an apothecary as soon as possible, and give both your catchers Block as their first skill, which should happen in game 2 or even 1, if you're lucky.


Another alternative is this:
11 Linemen
3 rerolls
ff 8

Because all your linemen have ag4, you don't really need position players for you first few matches, and the extra re roll is very nice to have. Otherwise, the you will probably have only 2 rerolls until after you've bought an apo, replaced a lineelf, and bought a second WD.

I play

8 Lineelves
2 Wardancers
1 Thrower
6 FF
1 Re-roll

Works fine

only played 3 games but i won all of them

2 Wardancers are not the easiest players to handle for any opposing rookie team

I find that 1 RR is to little, I get WAY to many 1's.

Since you are pretty new to Blood Bowl, you should go for Wood Elfs. Lizardmen team are very hard for new players, at least from what I've seen in our league. Wood Elfs are easy to pick up and play, and play good . You can search the forum for Wood Elfs and you will find loads of tactical tips for them. You will find some for Lizardmen too, but they are harder to play.
