I finished my first 6 Orc Blood Bowl Players!






















I really love these models. Some of the best work I've ever done. Interestingly enough, I find checks to be a lot easier to paint than dags! I though it would be the other way around!

The emblem on their chest plates is a freehand orky maw with red fangs, as the team is called Da Red Fangz. I think the Blitzer is my favorite.

6 down, 10 to go!

Chill out GW. Less is more.

I think it's the paintjob. There's one person who paints all the BB stuff, and their style does not agree with me at all. It's not done in the 'Eavy Metal style, and I can't tell you exactly what I don't like about it, but I do not like it, no sir.

Following up on this: The league met for it's first week and all 9 other people showed up to play! Incredible! We've got quite a few newer players so we spent some time getting everyone up on the game, but my orks, Da Red Fangz, played twice and won twice, with a total of 4 players reaching rank 2! Both games were played against veteran players, the first vs. Skaven and the second vs. Lizardmen.

Game 1
This game was all orks, right from the start. Massive amounts of armor breaking and a ton of 8s and 9s on the injury roll and he was 7 players down by turn 8. Not one casualty, though. Unfortunately it did not really make the game too competitive, and the Fangz cruised to an easy victory: 2-0.

Game 2
Lizards can make for an interesting opponent as they combine a whole bunch of speed (6 or 8 movement on everyone!) with a ton of power (6 ST4 Sauruses!). However, they lack any real skills at team creation - not a single player with block! I focused on punching skinks into the casualty box or nap zone, while locking down sauruses with my line-orks and black orks. A couple of adroit passes got me some important scores and I won 3-1 rather easily.

Next week I'm gonna take the week off playing actual games and focus on coaching and teaching. A few players have already reached out to me and told me how much fun they had, so I'm really excited to continue on. Hit me up if you want to join and you're local to the DMV!

A few bad injury rolls and suddenly a Skaven team is trying to ice skate uphill. But then next time you'll play you'll lose 9-7 because Gutter Runners.

Speaking of Skaven, look who showed up:

This friend seems almost too rowdy...


I went with a classic Gouged Eye color scheme for Varag because he's their team captain. With SRM's help, I found the old, old color scheme for the Chaos All-Stars, and painted Morg'n'Thorg in that dark green and red scheme, because I believe that was the team that made him famous. My team is currently killing it in my BB league, so I don't know if I'll ever actually use these guys, but they were a blast to paint.

I don't like the "pitcher" troll that GW sells for Orc or Goblin BB teams. What is the next best thing to do if I want to make a 2-troll Goblin team? Has anyone converted those sweet River Trolls (or whatever the gently caress they're called now)?

In short they get Doom Divers (who presumably are better at being thrown) and 'Ooligans who run around being popular with the fans and distracting opponents. I was half right with my guess (Doom Diver and Sneakey Stabba) but the Black Gobbo does Stab at least...

I finished Grak and Crumbleberry!


These two have a ton of utility in BB. Grak is a standard ogre, and Crumbleberry is just a halfling with Sure Hands, but their utility comes out of the Kick Team-Mate skill: Grak can kick any model with The Right Stuff like a kickoff. This only requires a Bonehead role, and is executed like a cross between a kick-off and Throw Team-Mate. Hilarious for one-turn touchdowns.

Apparently there was talk around Warhammer Fest of Ogres being sooner than people thought, supposedly the design team had some kind of bolt of inspiration in updating them/giving them new player roles so that's a surprise.

I won my 6th game in a row in my league tonight. It was a really close one against Skaven. My opponent had 3 really costly snake eyes moments. If any one of them were reversed, he would have won or we would have tied.

Fortunately my team is sitting happily at 1510 TV atop the leaderboard.

Skaven are remarkably good at recovering position if they can manage to stay on the field. All that AV 7 makes it easy for them to spend a ton of time in the dugout, though. He had a 14-rat team, but by the end, he had 6 players in the dead and injured box.

First Skaven I've ever painted. Tons of fun to paint, though. Forge World is really nailing it with all these Star Player models.

Dwarves truly are the worst.

Played a game with my orks against some Skaven today. He had 300,000 in inducements and took a re-roll and Hakflem Skuttlespike. I got greedy in the first half and blitzed my safety, allowing him to drop Skuttlespike just out of reach and fling him the ball, cementing my loss. Always keep your safety (or two) back when playing Skaven.

The good news is that now I have a MA 7 ork blitzer. So that's cool.

Is anyone else playing (or has played) Blood Bowl at Adepticon? I have some questions about the rules.

1. Skill packs: Why would anyone take anything but the Standard Skill Pack (5 normal skills to 5 different players, and a 6th normal or doubles skill to a 6th player)?

2. Roster resets: It says that rosters reset after every game, and gives the example that "all casualties are healed". Doe this mean all SPPs are reset, too?

3. I know what the CRP is, but they reference BB16/17 a lot, and I'm not sure what those are. Are those just shorthand names for the recent GW releases of Blood Bowl's rules?

Redvenom posted:

I've never played BB at Adepticon but can probably help with your questions.

1. The standard skill pack is by far the best option for most teams. I guess the others are there for variety but really they suck unless all you want is an AG5 and a MA10 Gutter Runner.

2. Sounds like the format is resurrection rather than progression. This means you don't earn spp between games, cas don't carry over, and you don't worry about winnings or other post-game actions. It's very common amongst BB tournaments because getting wrecked first game really puts the mockers on having fun for the rest of the tournament.

3. Yes, exactly that. It's the new iteration of Bloodbowl plus the supplements Death Zone 1 & 2.

What are you thinking of taking? All the low TV teams look good at this and the results for the last few years bear that out - Orcs, Dwarves, CD, Norse and Undead. Halflings look good with the right coach due to the free Master Chef (which is pretty preposterous).

I am bringing my Orcs! Here's the 1,100,000 team I was thinking of bringing:

1 Thrower
4 Black Orc Blockers
4 Blitzers
2 Orc Lineman
Apothecary
4 Re-rolls

As for the skill pack, I was thinking that all the Black Orcs get Block, one of the Blitzers gets Stand Firm, and one of the Linemen gets Guard. What do you think?

Redvenom posted:

Yeesh, he's right, you are a bad ham for this (this was going to be my first suggestion too).

I would drop the Apoth and take another lino. Given the limited skills I doubt you'll be up against any killer teams and the extra body would probably serve you better. For skills I'd say block the BO's and Thrower, then tackle on a Blitzer. Guard would be nice but you have 4 st4 players which should help in that regard, and if you face anything with dodge (or worse, blodge), you will be gnashing your teeth trying to knock them over.

On your drive use the thrower as the ball carrier and run it up the pitch if you can (because of sure hands + block). On your opponents drive hang back the tackler as a sweeper. Oh and kill everything. Good solid Orc playbook!

This is great advice! Thanks! An extra line orc can help with fouls, too: I can foul with impunity with one of my line orcs until he gets ejected and I'm golden!

sorry about not having a troll, guys. i've always thought big guys are a waste of points
