Chaos Dwarf team in need of adivce on purchase

MatsFredrickson · Post by **MatsFredrickson** » Mon Jul 28, 2003 11:58 pm

I am currently playing a Chaos Dwarf team. I am 2 weeks into the 8 week league, and I have made 100,000 gp. My team is:
6 Chaos Dwarves, 1 with guard
4 Hobgoblins, 1 with ST 4, 1 with Sure Hands
1 Bull Centaur
3 Re-rolls
10 FF
1 Apothecary

1 of my unskilled Dwarves is missing next game.

I don't know if I should buy a Troll, 1 or 2 Hobgoblins, or save for a Bull Centaur. Can someone give me some good advice? Thanks.

You don't like minataurs? (They do bad things to cages)
Go with the bullcentaur

surprised you started chaos dwarfs with so few rerolls, i normally start mine with 5 ;]

but yer save for the centaur, though i would be tempted to get the reroll

Save your money for the Bull Centaur. Definately.
You spent 50k too many into that Apoth .. you don't really need it.

Apo is a must! Even Bull Centaurs die once in a while.

Usually i would say save for the second BC, as having two of them on the pitch is a big boost, but with only 10 players for the next game i'd maybe purchase a troll first.

Troll vs. Mino is a tough thing. The Troll is a little more useful tactically, but quite unreliable. The Mino is the better player, but can mess up your game badly, esp. once you get outnumbered. What i like about the Troll is his ability to just stand around neutralizing other players like Sauri, BoBs, Mummies ... you don't really need him for your game going forward so he's expendable ... and he regenerates.

From a thematic point of view, I would take a Minotaur. From a gameplay pov, a Troll. Form a long tear team building pov, save for the second bullcentaur.

Where you are right now, my buying list woul look like this :

Bull Centaur;
Re-roll #4;
Re-roll #5;
Hobboes (2 or 3);
Mino.

You can switcht the order between the hobboes and the mino. I really like the Mino. Played as a a "back sweeper", he doesn't cause any trouble. Mine just got his second skill : Razor Sharp Claws !!! Combined with Block and Mighty Blow, he'll be terrorizing the league !

If this is a long-term league, definitely save for the BC.

If there aren't many games left, I'd buy the troll.

Troll then BC then 2 hobbos then 2 rerolls.
