Well, I try to find a better tittle than this one, but obviously I didn't succed in

As Darkson made a new thread in order to talk about those ones who will be there, here's a new thread about the choice of the roster.

I will be ther with 2 options... 1/ Lizardmen, 2/ Skavens... The option 1/ isn't really sure (to be frank, depends on apinting

)...

What about you?

IMPORTANT: don't forget you have to send back a card to GW before the 14th, february !!!

Gonna be Skaven, but I don't know which roster yet. 1 with Hakflem, the other without.
Might just print them both out and decide Sat morning at check-in

I'll get Dwarves, although I lost all 4 matches we did on saturday's playtesting...

But I'll succeed at Blood bowl

and will be unsportman winning deathwings undeads and running around him shouting "I have beaten you, I have beaten you!!!"

You need to declare your team on the card which as rightly pointed out needs to be returned by Feb 14th, so I don't think you can procrastinate until the morning itself. Saddly I had to send my card at the beginning of january, so my fate is sealed with orcs as they're the only team I'll have painted by then. Working on 3-4 rosters which I might use, but there's only so much choice in a starting Orc roster. Need to keep the practice PBEMs going to test them all.

well i've got a choice of either human (with or without griff) or a halfling team which i'm really tempted with.

i'll decide nearer the time i think but more than likely it will be halflings.

Im taking Norse but im still not sure on what to have in my team

I want to take my minotaur but it will leave me with only 2 re-roles and a FF of only 1. If i dont take the minotaur I can upgrade a lineman to a blitzer and gaina re-role and some FF, but this would mean having to make a new player and paint it up.
Then again i could always take a risk and go with no thrower or catcher?

Evil git, take the small guys

Ive never played them and can play you when we get there.....losser buys the drinks all night

ok, i'll take the little ones

who knows what may happen with them...

as for the drinks all night, i'd feel awkward about you paying for me all the way, let me at least get the first ones in

Shanie mate, you need to think long and hard about pitching a WA into a tourney with SP big Guys, not to mention Zugs, Vamps and Boraks.

DW's right. If you take a rookie mino, you will be completely incapable of winning this tournament. I'll tell you that right now.

Probably better off with a rookie Ogre - but if you do take the Mino ensure that your 1st skill is block for him (same goes for the Ogre).

To be honest, I think not everybody comes to win... imagine how boring could be a champ full of human teams with minimum 3 stars, pile on undeads with luthor, etc.
Let's face it any player who has played minimum 2 years knows perfect how to make a "winning" team, I prefer enjoying my time better than stress of having to win...
Don't know if I said what I meant...

I sure wish I could be there.

Maybe next year I could go across the pond and have a few pints and games and actually get to meet some of you all in person. Good luck to all the combatants, I know I will anxiously await game reports and pub reports!
