I'm assuming you mean minatures?
If this is your first team try and find the plastics on eBay. You may be able to pick them up very cheaply. If you want the metal then be careful that you don't buy plastic on eBay. The shadowforge female Orc team is aesthetically very nice - but probably lacks enough contrast between the line orcs and blitzers for my taste (as well having the wrong number of poses for some positions). Orcs are also easy to collect since there are plenty of 40k/WFB & other systems that have appropriate mintaure.
The team you'd want for all weather
1 Troll
4 BOBs
4 Blitzers
2 Throwers
4~5 line orcs
2~4 goblins
Star players
For playing, start with something simple - 4 Blitzers, 4 BOBs, 1 Thrower, 2 Line Orcs, 3 rerolls. I'd avoid the troll & goblins until you were happy with the normal team. |

Its not my first team; I have run Chaos, Lizardmen and Dwarfs before. It will however be the first team likely to be made up of entirely blood bowl miniatures (none of this WFB look alike stuff).
The two teams I have chosen to "run" with are Humans and Orcs intrestingly enough. I dont believe in collecting a force based on a rouster after seeing the flexability that it can take to survive in a league.
Thats where it gets intresting. The orc rouster includes Orcs, Goblins and Trolls. I feel like GW has really scr*wed me with eliminating all the bilisters and bits order system. (it actualy came close to driving me out of blood bowl). Buying a whole goblin team for a small number is nonsense, and i find myself also strugling between the new and old orc sculpts.
So my question would be how would you hunt for it if you where in the US? I am trying E-Bay but am being rutinely out bid in the last 20 seconds. |

| www.bbfigs.com is probably your best bet. You can buy individual figs, full teams, or packs of 4 or so depending on the team. |
