Halfling team

carmachu · Post by **carmachu** » Sun May 29, 2005 3:14 pm

Kicking around this for an eventual league play:

Something I'm kicking around:

15 halfings
1 treeman
Master chef
Apothocary
9 Fan factor
3 rerolls

20k left over.....

Alternatively, I could drop a halfling, a reroll and buy a second treeman....

You MUST take both Treemen.

Even then, don't expect to win many (or any) games with Halflings ... they are a third tier "fun" team, not really much fun for rookies.

Best of luck!

+ have enough cash to hire deeproot for the first match. Search for the halfling playbook posted by GalakStarscraper.

Hire just deeproot, or deeproot and other treemen?

The Halfling Playbook is available in the Archives section.

I think Duke Jan is referring to Galak's standard advice on starting a Halfling team ... which is:

2 Trees
Deeproot Strongbranch freebooted
12 Flings
3 Rerolls
9 FF
60k in the bank

Use the 60k to buy extra ingredients to bleed your opponent dry of rerolls for your first game.

This starting roster is gospel as far as flings are concerned. I had it with my fling fumbbl team and I won 1-0. My fumbbl flings are 5/5/3, and I routinely go to Galak's fling strategy article for help. I'm still waiting for the day that I can hire Deeproot again ... he's a juggernaut.

Updated the thread for LRB 4.0 changes ... didn't really change much at all.

Now that Fanatic online is looking for articles again ... I'll need to get this typed up and sent to Andy Hall.

Thanks folks, I'll be doing some reading. I have an orc player needing taken down a peg or two and beaten by halflings should do the trick.

Not really looking to win the league with'em, but it be a bonus....

As an aside, with 60k extra, should I buy the master chef to start?

Huh?

If you are playing LRB 4.0 rules ... the Master Chef is always on your team for free giving you one free 2+ roll to take re-rolls from your opponent per a half. The 60k gives you money to buy EXTRA rolls for the Master Chef.

Please also remember that Halfling Master Chef rolls give you a re-roll even IF your opponent has none left.

just my 2 cents: this guide is indeed full of very good advice. i heavily based my play on it with my FUMBBL flings, resulting in a 6/1/2 record, and a CAS difference of +13 (so, i caused 13 CAS more than i received, out of 9 games).
honestly, this is not very hard to do on FUMBBL, but i have yet to try it in a scheduled league. obviously, i don't think i'd fare that well (especially if they have a Dwarf team =D).
anyway, the point is: follow Galak's advice on it and you'll be a fling champ =)

Updated my tips so the Playmaker links worked.

LRB 4 is the latest official release of the rules for blood bowl.
In these it states that the master chef is free for halfling teams.

Incorrect. In the main download, the Master Chef is free for your team and extra rolls cost 20k.
