Slann

Post by Relborn »

Although the minis were never produced (only through conversions you could field your team in the past) there have to be some Slann fans out there. Well at least I am one of them.

The question is, would you like having some Bloodbowl minis made by phil, and would you buy them ?

Definitely, this more than any other team is one i've wanted ffor about the last 10 years :wink:. I dont really understand why GW haven't considered ( or perhaps they have ) not releasing a team of them after all they did win a Blood Bowl Trophy if i remember rightly.

well I think the good ol' Slanns have waited long enough to reenter the Bloodbowl Arenas. Could make those Lustrian Leagues more interesting ... or changes in the Lustria Pact team (eg swap Norse with Slann) to an very cool flavour team

And boy does that team need a revamp. It's very, very bad. I like the other allied team lists but that one :puke:

I think all the allied team lists are crap, but the Lustrian is indeed the worst

I seriously doubt that Slann will ever be official again, or even just experimental. They have been removed from the WF world due to "weak design" respectively the designers thought them being boring. Instead they created the Lizardmen society etc.
I recall JJ telling in an interview that they scraped the Slann bc they didn't liked them.
Anyway, Phil could do the minis and call them Frog-Men (?) and everyone could use them as Slann 8)

We made the following changes:

Major Race: Slann Lineman (from Galak's Site)
Secondary Race: Skink

Allies (2 Positions or 4 Linemen each): Amazon, Slann, Lizardmen
Big Guy: Kroxigore

I play this team by myself and it does not seem overpowered with 7 positional players so far (after around 12 games). It is really fun to play !

Maybe the limitation of positional player to 7 (including BG) could bring some more balance to other pact teams (and still only allowing one or two from each team list)

I just looked up the roster at Galaks site:

nice indeed, but I always thought of including those lobotomized Human slaves to their team. (those Slaves carrying the big Frogs around).

I do not like Sinks and Kroxigor appearing on Slann lists, I rather prefer Lobotized Humans, they would give them an unique feeling:

Lobotomized Human Slaves:
5/4/2/8 Really Stupid 70K?? (just an idea, not a slick design, so don't shot me)

Just a missunderstanding Narkotic.

For the Slann List I think Galak's is wonderful. There shouldn't be changed much on them.

My suggestion was for the Pact Team from the BB-Mag. Some Lobotomized Human Slaves would be fine, but one the other hand they have already the Amazons (for brainlessness) :D in this Pact Team List ...

NO, I actually got what you wanted to say.

But I thought of giving them an unique spin as they never get official or experimental. But if you prefer a pact-version that's fine. I just wanted to drop a suggestion.

Nope I thought on both ... Slann as stand alone Team and as an addition/replacement for Norse in the Pact team.

The idea with very stupid blockers is very capturing :)
