Talk Fantasy Football

Hi all,i'm newby and i will start a leage 8-9 players,i want play with skavens:
what is the best skavens team ?
and I will need help with the skills can anybody help me?

thx for all.

One possible starting skaven team would be
2 Storm Vermin - no one i have ever heard of did not start with 2.
1 Thrower - U can have a gr be your thrower, but he would be st 2.
2 Gutter Runners - U could start with just 1, few start with more than 2.
7 Line Rats - U will still have to have a gr on the field during defense but its the best u can do.

This leaves u an apoth (definately need one rite off the bat), 2 rerolls, and ff of 7.

U could either leave off the extra line rat or apoth for some extra ff or both for ff and a reroll but i would not suggest both.

i start with:

2 sv
2 gr
1 th
6 lr
9 ff
3 rr

and then 20k left over which means you should get an apoth after game 1

Aye, Sean, U sure U no gangsta rappa?

Westcoast, man!

i am running this team in my new league
2sv
2gr
1 thrower
5line
1 Rat Ogre
3 re
3 ff
get the apoth after 1st game

quit giving the newbie bad advice, will you?

3ff and a rat ogre? sjeesj.

the RO might be a matter of personal opinion, but you need at least 7 FF and are better of with 9. certainly with skaven.

I agree, wait some time before purchasing the Rat Ogre. High FF, Apo and enough "normal" player to sustain 16 turns of heavy pounding from the opponent is of higher importance. I took my RO when one of my Linerats rolled a double and got "Leader". Without that safety net, a RO is disrupting your whole game as it becomes a harder problem of keeping him from producing TO as to score fast with the rest of your team.

i believe the general school of thought is if you want a rat ogre take it early

there are less players with block/guard/+st about to take advantage of the wild animal trap and the sooner you have one the quicker they get block and pro which pretty much negates wild animal

so basically i don't take one at all ;]

I tookm a RO at the start of my league, and 3 games in hes finally got block. Ive won every game with at least 2 t/ds up and usually a few kills, and ive only lost one rat. My GR both have numerous skills. My only error has been to only start with two FF as I didn;t understand the rules regarding how important this is at the beggining, but im still doing ok.

I go for buying the RO right at the start Scares the opposition.

It's just a matter of choice of how do you want to play the game I think. Will you go for the more or less safe way: no Rat Ogre at the start and a huge FF, or would you go for the tricky one, A Rat Ogre and less, less FF and probablly no Apo to start with. It's just a matter of luck (and some sane insight in tactics) how your choices will turn out. I like the "tricky" choice, but then I always play for fun.

Concidering the above I'am going to play in the M@dHobbit Masacre Tournament in The Netherlands with the following taem, and I would appreciate your humble opinion about this team (the coach has 1.100.000 gp to his disposal to assemble his team):

1 Thrower
3 Gutter Runners
2 Storm Vermin
5 Linemen
1 rat Ogre
3 RR
5 FF
1 Apo

O yeah, I forgot to mention, everybody is healed miraculously (even the dead) after each match.

I think you should get rid of the Apo and either get more FF and replace a lineman for an extra thrower, or take extra lineman instead. You don't really nead the apo if you're being healed at the end of the match.

I like to see the Apo as some kind of super back-up in this scenario (player #12, who's able to cope with any task that is being asked from him, shall he be a Gutter Runner or a Storm Vermin, it doesn't matter he can be any one of them). Imagine, my Rat ogre or another player like a Storm Vermin gets killed or BH or whatever. With an Apo I can (with some luck) put him back on the field again straight away. I don't have to wait for a TD or a second half, "he" can be used immediately. That's the reason why I'll go for the Apo and not for an extra Lino or more FF.

Looks OK El C..



won't help you against me though

We all got our dreams Dave.

Drop to FF3 and replace a Linerat with the 2nd thrower.
