Waterbowl Weekender -What team are you taking?

Hi all, I'm going to be there with my Wood Elves - be a nice change to the vamps I used in our last league.

I think I'll go with what I know - High Elves (though know might be a bit of an exageration). Ogres look fun though - I've been playing against them a lot at my local club and they can be tricky, but not often likely to win.

Zons or Norse for me, need a break from Dark Elves

If I can not get a Snow Troll painted in time its Zons.

Hmmm!!!

2 Trolls
Bombardier
Looney
Pogoer
Fanatic
Goblin
Goblin
Goblin
Goblin
Ripper
Nobbla
RR 2
FF 1

or instead of Nobbla, Scrappa + 2 gobs, or Bomber + 1 gob and 4 FF.

Edit:
Ooh, stars allowed, this means:
2 Trolls
Bombardier
Looney
Pogoer
Fanatic
Goblin
Goblin
Ripper
Nobbla
Scrappa
Bomber
RR 2
FF 1

11 players for the first drive.

.....erm, 5 for the next. (Maybe)

I'm thinking:

Ripper
2 trolls
3 RR
Chainsaw
Bulk it out with gobbos...

Mind you, I need some practice to see what'll work. But the dirty little fella's should be there.

What I really wanted was a team built around Varag but having looked at the rules that won't wash

.

I think ill use Khemri, never played a single game with them, but how hard can they be, its just a case of hitting things isnt it?

If i was doing goblins I would do 3 trolls including ripper, fungus, looney and a bomber . I will be doing high elves I am thinking 2 blitzers 2catcher 1 thrower(upgraded to AG5) 6 limenmen(upgrade 3 with block one with kick one with leader) and 4 re-rolls

Hi Dazlamb

Just looking at your skills ideas, if you took the AG increase then you don't get to take any doubles skills/traits, so you'd need to put leader on a thrower rather than a lineman as its a passing skill. Pretty sure that's right anyway.

Not got my skills fixed yet, gonna play a couple more practice games to get them ironed out!

dazlamb · Post by **dazlamb** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 2:10 pm

Your right Nippy. Not sure about taking leader then. I haven't actualy played any WaterBowl practice games yet. I kind of fancy having a AG 5 thrower even if teams are going to try and beat him up.

damn, you've found out my Blood Bowl strategy

Probably Norse if I can get around to modelling the Ulfwenar and Snow Troll. Otherwise whatever comes to hand that is painted.

Levinas · Post by **Levinas** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 3:47 pm

Ordered up Ripper today, hopefully have him painted up and ready to rock soon. Oh, and that AG5 thrower - If I get anywhere near him there's a chainsaw with his name on it....

Just walk into the nearest display cabinet and you're bound to find one.

Firt time i've played with an agility team- will probably screw it up!

Yes but I could end up bringing Alexander The Great instead and I'm not sure how good he'll be at Blood Bowl.....

Nice to see that there should be a good mix of teams and not just all bash (that said, my record vs elves is atrocious. In Waterbowl 1-dayer a high elf team cleared all my necros from the pitch

and last year the necros were doinked by Andrew from Cheadle's Woodies 4-0, despite the fact that he only had about 7 players

. Perhaps the skaven will have more luck).

@Lowsman, I wonder which round I will play you in. Our paths often seem to cross (Bearded Snot, Carnage, Waterbowl....). Usually, we start off close and then you beat my teams to a bloody pulp...
(that said, the games are fun

)

Cheers
