Damn, not worth editing now, although i do seem to remember in Mag 4 that there was a Mummy Star Player, pity he's not official.

I have finally decided not to play Skaven in The BB, but to play my Orcs.

What can I say ?
You gotta love those green guys

Does anyone know if NAF points will be handed out at this thing or is it strictly not NAF??

It may make a huge difference to the team I take...

Im sure its NAF. I was told that i could sign up on the day to the NAF so i asume that its NAF pts aswell.

Well, i thought that a was a good opportunity to join the NAF since the site is like forever in preparation.
Every where they tell you, soon to come. For me soon is no more than a month. Why making such a fuss for site that doesn't? (like the 6 last months) that's part of the BB malediction, with the BB mag n°5 announcing the BBT when all the tickets where already sold. No point in trying to keep us hooked up with stuff that'll come out in 50 years. if we still play BB, that means we're already hooked up!!! No?

ooops, i'm getting carried away....

Well having thought about it I'm going to be really boring and take Orcs (oh no, not another one).

I'm toying with:

5 x Line Orcs
2 x Thrower
2 x Blitzer
2 x Black Orc
1 x Varag Ghoul Chewer
2 x TRR
1 x FF

So that's 12 players and 3 rerolls.

FF is low, but I couldn't get Varag, high FF and enough RRs.

No apoth either, but high Av and 12 players means it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Any thoughts?

My Orcs roster will likely be:

2 Black Orcs
4 Blitzers
1 Varag
2 Goblins
3 Linemen

1FF
2 Re-rolls (+ Varag's Leader RR) = 3RRs

No thrower you may notice.

ian: Personally I'd be inclined to get another Blitzer in there. Maybe a straight swap for a BOB.

Norse: I'm disappointed in you. It's the BB...live a little. How about CDs with Htark?
Dwarves are the most boring, one dimensional, predictable and downright saddest race that exists in BB, and hence are usually coached by the most boring, one dimensional, predictable and downright saddest coaches!

Beware, the sheer size of the NAF points at the BB are a double edged sword. Competition is going to be white hot, and it's entirely possible that anybody who has a bad/unlucky tournament will end up in a huge hole, even if they're playing their 'preferred' race.
Personally, I hope that all Dwarf teams have such a nightmare that:
a) Their coaches abandon them for future tournaments because their NAF rating is irrecoverable...and
b) Other coaches look at their sad failure and conclude that they're uncompetitive and won't take them either.

Beardy little b*stards! I hate them. All of them. I hope I meet them a lot at the BB so I can do my part in trashing their credibilty as a Tourney race. Get your Books of Grudges ready guys, you'll be needing them...

wow...seems like a personal crusade here...

Deathwing,
are you trying to intimidate any dwarf coaches not to show up for you to win the tourny with amazons???

Death: you're convincing me to use dwarves.
