dwarfs have the mice benefit of having players with tackle to piss off amazons and a good wall will annoy skinks no end

This is the chaos team I'm considering. Horns O Plenty

9 x Beastmen = 540k
1 x Minotaur = 110k
1 x Grashnak Blackhoof = 160k
2 x Re-rolls = 140k
5 x FF (maybe 3 FF, 1 AC and 1 Cheerleader)

I'm mostly concerned about the lack of re-rolls, since beastmen aren't skilled. The WA could be problematic, and Grashnak doesn't have block. But since I doubt I'll make the upper half of the results anyway, I think it makes quite a flavourful team. The difficult question is skill development. First off is block on the mino, then I'm not sure between block, tackle and guard for the subsequent games. Sure hands would be tempting too.

'Mice' is about right.

Sputnik: I'll be playing Chaos or Undead. And no, I won't be posting my roster either.

Interesting list. I don't particurally like Gobbos - soft and squishy doesn't fit into my game plan. Also I like having throwers, Sure Hands always gets used while Pass gives my opponents a bit of a defensive choice. Having 1 thrower just makes them a target.

Lack of speed is quite an issue. However I don't fancy going with only 2 S4 players. After all I need to be able to make those blocks against hordes of guarding long beards

BOBs will be getting block over the course of the tourney...

Never a truer word spoken. Which is why Dwarves will win SFA!

Nah, I ain't worrying about dwarves. Htark's gonna cause problems against any team though.

Anca: Sweet F**k All! i.e. nothing.

I resent your sasanach comments baldy and will of course kick your sorry English ass with my well hard and endowed Scottish Dwarves...

SFA? Scottish Football American?

I'll always use Dwarves if there's NAF points for grabs. Period.

*sigh* Another one like Thadrin with delusions of grandeur.

Bring 'em on! With 2 draws in competition, we have unfinished business. Besides, you'll be wanting revenge after I kick your sorry ass at the Dutch Open.

I fear very little my Catalonian friend, especially those with empty words...

DW left Res with 4 wins and didn't place... he;s played me twice and never looked like winning.. I understand he's

that he lost painting points at Res..

it must annoy him that I'm better looking and a better painter...

bring it on DW, I'll only draw against you again to further your annoyance..

Ooh you cheeky git! I was a whisker away when my Orc Thrower flubbed the pick up at Tulips..and you proceeding to get the loose ball out of your EZ with an outrageous string of rolls...

Our second match was much more of a stalemate though.
