Concerns: I am giving up another Linerat and upgrading a Linerat to a third GR to go for four re-rolls. This is for league play under current living rulebook.

not sure what you mean by that

though you havn't said what version of the rules you are using

if you are using the latest LRB5 rules you don't need to start with 9ff

you can start with none and upgrade some linerats

starting with both blitzers would be useful (more games = higher chance to get a MVP)

I think there is a current thread in the leagues tactic section on starting skaven rosters as well, go check that out

if you are using an older version of the rules, then we can give more advice if you say which ones ;]

My recent league start ups has been:

2 Blitzers
2 Runners
1 Thrower
7 Linerats
4 ReRolls
-------------------
1,000,000 GP

This has worked good for me so far giving you 12 on the roster.

LRB5 you don't need fan factor to start with. And I have found 4 re rolls to be a good addition with a good chance of winning an extra 1 in any half at kick off.

skritter +1

If you are using LRB4, then your FF9 makes sense. If you are using LRB5 (or 5.xx), then you should start with as low an FF as you can, giving you more money for players & RR.

Sorry, it is most current rule book I am using.

I was going with 9 fame in hopes of getting a FAME of 2. Is that foolish? That seemed like a good plan, although I guess I would have to play 10 games at 2 FAME for it to pay back.

+2 FAME isn't as useful as an extra reroll or player

especially given rerolls double in price afterwards

and fanfactor is very easy to rise up if you start it really low as well

just isn't cost effective, though I can see your intention

+2 FAME isn't as useful as an extra reroll or player

Unless you have an 8 TD match with every kick-off resulting in a thrown rock
