Bloodletters: I'm going to be honest here, I don't like letters very much. Khorne's gimmick is frenzy on everyone, and letters don't have frenzy to start with. Instead you have a 6/3/3/7 player that has horns, juggernaut, and regeneration. Now, I've run bloodletters on my team before and I can't quite figure out what the hell to do with them. They make decent blitzers with horn and juggernaut, while the regen means that you should lose them a little less often (one of two players in the entire game that gets regeneration on a team that has access to an apothecary). However it's the armor that bugs the hell out of me simply because it is the lowest AV on the team. The lack of frenzy does mean that you can avoid some frenzy traps, but I'd rather be using someone else.

Well I'd think the entire point of Bloodletters is their skill access. GAS means they can become extremely solid blitzers without ever needing to roll doubles at all. And they're the only part of the team with Agility access.

Also we have The Passing Wight, so now we need The Catching Ghoul. Also, save for A Flesh Beginning.

Edit: As said below, we gotta Diving Catch now.

Perhaps, but Khorne Heralds have juggernaut and strength access too. So, I dunno.

Yeah, I voted for you to roll more skulls, and I'll DO IT AGAIN. I ain't sorry.

That was a fun match, like all matches that involve lots of dub skulls. Dub skulls are the best.

Incidentally, did they change the interaction of horns in the last expansion? Didn't you used to need to dodge out and come back to get the +1 str in Cyanide? Something about momentum?

Clearly our best player needs pro to bide the time until the next flolem.

Cyanide fixed it. It now works as written in the LRB. Anytime you blitz with a player with horns, +1 to strength.

Diving Catch for Santos. Mainly because you have no accurate passers so it's objectively better than Catch in this regard.

Save for a Flesh Golem.

Diving Catch. How can you say no to additional catch chances when the ball lands even within a square, and 2+ catches on accurate throws and hand-offs?

If you give that ghoul Sure Hands, they will never pick it up ever again, and since they already have blodge, the only thing that deals with Santos as a ball carrier is Wrestle/Strip Ball. Only a handful of teams can make use of Strip Ball effectively (basically just Wood Elves), especially since the ball is almost always going to end up in TZs whatever happens, and Sure Hands doesn't help against Wrestle at all.

Oh and Save for a Golem and buy a single Cheerleader, add that pitch ornamentation!

Side Step since Sure Hands will ensure that Santos never successfully picks the ball up again. And Save for another golem because it seems like every time we get a new player, somebody else dies and I want more blood.

Unfortunately it would mean us watching ANOTHER Dwarf game and does anyone really want to do that? Especially since we're probably going to have to play Chorfs at some point, so we've already got Dwarfs of a sort coming up later.
