Budding Skaven team about to start new league!

Post by Sgt_Colon »

Hey all,

Okidoki, I coming back to BB after a few yrs (woohoo). Used to play straight out the box but had some spare cash and wanted a Skaven team to compliment my ratty army.
So onto my problem. I'm starting a new league soon against Orks, Man-things and Dark Elves (:( DE scare me, seem to do everything I can do but better! any specific advice there would be greatly appreciated! the rest I can prob. out run comfortably but the DE... Hmmm).
Anyway its a fairly small league with only the 4 teams, which makes me wonder if a tourney style set up may be best i.e. lower FF starting with harder team... Although we may try and keep it going for awhile we'll see, so perhaps conventional may be better?! Well, here's my current plans, let me know what you think might be the best bet!

Team A: Maybe more of a league team?!
Options 1-3.

2 SV 180,000
2 Throwers 140,000
2 GR 160,000
6 Line rats 300,000
3 TRR's 180,000 or 2 TRR's 120,000 or 2 TRR's 120,000
FF 4 40,000 FF 10 100,000 FF 5 50,000
1 Apoth. 50,000
Tot. 1,000,000

After first match: Buy Apoth. sharpish (unless option 3). Prob. get Headsplitter later...

Team B: Maybe more of a tourney team?!
Options 1-2

2 SV 180,000
2 Throwers 140,000
2 GR 160,000
4 or 5 Line rats 200,000 / 250,000
1 HeadSplitter 160,000
2 or 1 TRR's 120,000 / 60,000
FF 4 or 5 40,000 / 50,000

Tot. 1,000,000

After first match: Buy Apoth. sharpish. (one more thing with team B could drop a thrower take a line rat and boost FF by 2 points...)

Anyways! Thanks for looking, let me know what you think.

Cheers. :)

my usual starting roster for skaven is.
2 sv- 180
2 gr- 160
1 thrower- 70
7 linerat- 350
2 rr- 120
9 ff- 90
30 k tresury

seems to work for me. i wouldn't compromise on the ff as you will lose players and need big gates too buy them back, but there is something too be said for droping a line rat in favour of an apothocary.

Hi,

I'm also something of a newbie in BB and about to start a new league soon. The league has four teams in it, including myself: Vampires, Orcs and Dwarves. I play Skaven. I'd like some opinions on this line-up as a start:

1 Thrower 70k
2 Gutter Runners 160k
2 Stormvermin 180k
1 Rat Ogre 130k (For all the Black Orcs, Trolls, Vampires and Dwarves)
5 Linemen 250k
1 Re-Roll 60k
10 Fan Factor 100k
Apothecary 50k

First things to use money on would be a reserve Lineman and a Re-Roll or two.
