That's ok. I'm sure you're still recovering from a third loss at the Death Bowl. Not that I get any amount of joy or sick pleasure from that fact Wink

Ahh you can just feel the love Laughing

The Canadian Open has now been approved.

Put me down as a probable yes. I just have to clear it with the boss. I'll see if I can dig up Bill as well.

A couple of things Ben,

First off, the Nurgle's Rotters are not one of the official teams allowed in the tourney. Is this an oversight?

Secondly, I am wondering whether the chaos teams are going to be allowed to take mutations as regular skills as is now the case in some tournaments. If yes, then will they be allowed to buy them as normal skills with the starting 1,250,000?

Thanks

yeah...lets ask the Chaos coaches what they think about having cheap mutations. Rolling Eyes

here's another thought...lets ask the Skaven coaches if they should be able to have 0-8 Gutter Runners. Smile

-Rob

P.S. Seriously now...if mutations are clasified as a "Regular" skill for Chaos...can they be stacked?
I certainly agree with Chaos having this concession generally because it makes them more viable/fun in a tourney setting...BUT in a tourney where you can buy skills and can start with multiple players with stacked mutations...this may unbalance them.

(Just thinking outloud...not from experience or statistical analysis.)

EDIT:
A Chaos Warrior with Large Hand and Sure Hands would be a pretty nice start. Especially if he were joined by a Claw, Break Tackle Mino buddy. Twisted Evil

Given that he already has Mighty Blow and Horns...this could be pretty scary.

Yeah, because that is a fair comparison.... Rolling Eyes

Before you make too much noise about it, try making a list of some other team at the 125K mark and then do the same for Chaos or Nurgle. I think that they are still at a big disadvantage. They are spending a lot of their extra cash buying skills that many of the other teams start with. Mutations give them a slight boost, but not enough to make them even comparable to the overall effectiveness of the other teams at that level. Try making a team of Amazons with lots of rerolls and most players are blodge!

My point here is that Chaos Players are not necesarily the best source for an unbiased voice on weather or not Mutations should be cheap.

As an occassional skaven player...if you ask me if the Skaven team should be allowed more that 4 GRs...I say yes!

Quote:

You're right...other teams can have loaded lineups with the skill purchasing...but only Chaos can have a STR 4 Blitzer who can pick up the ball on a 2 with a re-roll.

Same goes for the Mino with Skills that can stack...if you've never played with a Mino with Break Tackle and Claw...imagine having a Big Guy who can dodge into a cage on a 4+ then have a 2D block on any the ball carrier except for a tree. (In most cases.) Then Claw and Mighty Blow come into effect. Evil or Very Mad

I'm just saying before a blanket ruling is made one way or the other, combos need to be considered. Possibly allow only a certain number of mutations, or limit the number of stacks, or how this effects Chaos Big Guys...something. Just examine this before a decision is made.

Hey Ben...I'm sorry...I misread yor initial post.

As a "possibly" non-Chaos coach, I believe that you may want to limit the cheap Mutations in some way so that they do not go from being a nice perk to Chaos coaches...to an unbalancing factor. Again, I like the fact that tournies have started doing this with Chaos team to promote variety, but you should be careful to not give them a blank check.

Post subject:

Great to hear all the discussion on the rules. Let's see we have a couple of issues to consider;

1. Do we give chaos mutations a reg skill price but limit them?
What if we limit a mutation to 2 of each kind per team. So the mutation cost the same as a reg skill but they can only have 2 claws, 2 big hands etc. Although i think Big guys should pay the reg price.

2. DO we allow Secret weapons
I say yes, they are so much fun and bring some variety to the game.
What is the latest rules on secret weapons? how much they cost? On what roll do they get ejected? etc

looking forward to your comments.

If the secret weapons are allowed, then I am seriously considering bringing out a goblin team. I say allow them (although I still maintain that skaven should not be allowed 8 gutter runners! Wink

Another issue that Spazz brought to my attention was that under the current system, an amazon linwoman with dodge/block cost 10k less then a blitzer.

So what do we do to address this problem? hmmmm.....

Hey no pickin on the ladies now. Why is that any possible advantage they might have is taken away. They have no good stars. No Big guys. No secret weapons. Bad armor. Average movement. No starting players with sure hands... Shall I go on. They're cheap and have blodge. That's it. That's all they've got. Considering I've yet to see an Amazon team blow away a tournament the way Necro, Chaos Dwarves, Woodelves, Khemri have I fail to see the point of sanctioning a team on the few points it has going for it.

Chaos Mutations should be more expensive. Advantages that are not equal across the board should be more costly.

Secret Weapons should also be more costly or not used at all. Same reason as above.

Any thoughts on a the statement that a linewoman with Block is cheaper than the Blitzer?

Also, it looks like this roster can have multiple STR 4 Blodgers. I guess that's the use of the Blitzer in this format. (Who needs a Big Guy?)

EDIT: Two ladies with Dauntless almost seems mandatory.

I say yes to the Secret Weapons, but ask that you schedule this so that DaScum can't attend. (Sorry Dave Smile

)
Seriously though...just for clarification...will these be normal gobbos with the SW, or will they have the profile of the Star Player? The main reason that I ask is for Stunty/Right Stuff...a chainsaw with Stunty seems like a pretty effective Cage Breaker...while a Pogo with "The Right Stuff" would have an easy time of a one turn score. (Assuming the Troll doesn't get hungry.) Smile

And for the gain of a cheaper player you loose access to strength skills. So is it really cheaper?

A strength increase is 100,000gp. That's a fair chunk of change. Taking two of them means you've put all your eggs in that basket. Considering the rest of the Amazon lineup hasn't got the punch to back that up without a few added skills I'd consider that a bad way to go.

KarlLagerbottom - Jan 19, 2006 - 03:20 PM

Consider that you have 250K more than normal to spend...I think thats pretty fair.

Bag two of the blitzers, spend the 150K on the two STR 4 Blodgers and block on the rest for 30K

-ROb

This is, of course, without looking at the rulebook and pricing.

CyberHare - Jan 19, 2006 - 03:26 PM
Post subject:

150 wouldn't get you blodgers though, it would get you linechicks with strength 4. You'd need to spend another 30 to the block so they would cost you 180. Times 2 that's 360 right there for two players. With only 840 left to fill out the roster and get rerolls it would be fairly sparce.

I'm not suggesting that the strength increase should be cheaper. It's fine where it is. Simply that the strength increase isn't the best option for the Amazon team.

CyberHare wrote:

I don;t understand your argument here. Access to strength skills does not mean a higher strength, so there is not the 100K argument. All the stats for amazon blitzers and linewomen are exactly the same. They both have dodge, the only starting difference is that blitzers are 40K more expensive and start with block. But for only 30K more you can upgrade a linewoman to the equivalent of a starting blitzer. True you have used one of your two skills for a player upgrade and true, you will not have access to strength skills (should you choose to buy some), but does that make it even?

I was talking about two different things. Firstly the Amazon linechick with block would yes cost 10k less but you would loose access to Strength skills. That on top of eating up a skill choice doesn't make her any cheaper than a standard blitzer.

Secondly I was referring to Rob's idea of the multiple st4 blitzers. He was saying it makes up for the fact Amazons have no BG. I was saying not really because at 100K it's prohibitively expensive and would leave the rest of the team lagging behind.

Paul - Jan 20, 2006 - 07:57 AM
Post subject:

Well, I've been without my laptop for a while, but I'm back now, time for my opinions on the discussions at hand.

Regarding Amazons and the Block/Dodge Linewomen being cheeper than the Blizters. So what, they're Amazons. I think Brians record with them last year speaks for its self. They can't move any faster, they certainly can't take a hit once they do go down, let him field 11 Blodge linewoman, build your team with a couple tackles and take advantage of those chicks in the skimpy armor.

Secret Weapons - allow them on goblin teams. What will they take? A chainsaw? maybe, but its a goblin with it, just blitz him once he gets it started and the gobo should be done for the day. A pogo stick? In my 10+ years of blood bowl, I've never seen one used seriously in a game. I used once cause GW threw one in with an order I made with them a few years back, but I havn't even finished painting the guy let alone seen it used in a game. Bombs? Hell, I say every team should be required to take a player with bombs, they're fun, who cares. Ball and Chain? yea, this guy can be pretty scary, but with no tackle zone (hes got no tackle zone right?) he should be easy enough to avoid for all but mummys and dwarfs, and most of the time he winds up dieing at the end of his turn himself.

Other races should not have access to secret weapons in my opinion, they're good enough as it is. Although if you were to let the Dwarfs have a deathroller Smile

(I mean come on, these guys get no big guy, if you're going to compensate the Amazons for no big guy (or gal) then you gotta let the dwarfs have a death roller, and at half price Smile

)

Chaos Mutations, I'm going off of what I remember from last year, as I can't seem to access the website for this year (school is blocking it due to "sex" what the hell did you put on the site Ben??) I'm not a huge fan of this, mostly, cause I don't like you loosers who play Chaos Very Happy

In past tournaments it worked because you could limit stuff like Claw to 1 per team and you usually couldn't stack your skills (so a guy with Big Hand wasn't getting Sure Hands as well, the guy with Claw wouldn't get block etc) If you were to allow them, I'd say that non-Big Guys to prevent a very scary looking Minotaur (someone already mentioned Claw/Break Tackle.) I also think that there are better skills to get than to load up on the mutations for your team. Most of the mutations are usless (Extra Arms, Two Heads) unless you get them as your 3rd or 4th skill on a player, and that can't happen in this tournament. I'm not really opposed to this, mostly because the guys who play Chaos are usually down near the bottom of tournaments while I'm up top (thats 2 shots at Spazz in 1 paragraph, ZING) maybe we can reach some kinda happy middle ground and charge Chaos (and Skaven) teams +10 k for a mutation. Honestly, if you're going to let the Chaos get mutations as regular skills, you gotta let the Skaven do it too.

Anyways, this is some good talk, I can't wait for the tournament, see you chumps there.

Why not? if all races are able to take them then it makes it a fair playing ground.

What races cannot have secret wepaons? is it only elves?

With regards to the Amazons, i'm leaning on leaving it as is as the amazons do need the extra help. Girls shouldn't be playing Bloodbowl!

How official are the rules for the non-goblin secret weapons? I know that in the LRB the Dark elves have the poisoned dagger and the dwarves have the deathroller, but how official are the rules for buying secret weapons for other teams?

Seriously though...for us this was done only as a concession for Chaos who is an extremely weak Tourney team without the help. Skaven are competitive just as they are.

Ben...I don't think you should change it necessarily, but a team of 11 Blodgers is abusive. (Sorry Brian...that's just my opinion.) No team needs so much extra help that it should be difficult to knock over anyone on the team as a handicap.

I have a quick question: if I were inclined to, say, play a race other than humans ,but have no time to paint up a team in the next month, is there somebody out there ( who is attending the tourney) who could lend me the following:

-A painted High Elf team consisting of 9 linemen and 2 Dragonwarriors.

-A painted Norse team including an ogre.

- Something to help me get rid of my shite a$$ luck. Wink

I, of course, will be very protective of any team under my care -- hell if I like the paint I might even offer to buy.

I don't get this answer...how else would you get skills if you didn't purchase them with the initial 1,250,000 GC? Is there a more granular break-down of the cash.?Is it strictly a TR 100 Roster with 250K in upgrades, or can you spend the whole amount however you like?

Paul - Jan 23, 2006 - 12:19 AM

Rob - I was joking around with the answer, yes they could get mutations as regular skills, but only on a skill roll, of which, there are none in the tournament.

As for the roster, I know last year (and I assume this year will be the same) you could spend the money any way you want.

ie, you can go with a human team that includes: 4 Blizters (360k), 2 Throwers (140k), 4 Catchers (280k) 6 Linemen (300k), 3 ReRolls (150k) and 2 Fan Factor with no extra skills and a TR of 125.

or you can play halflings and take 11 Halflings, (330k), 2 Skills for each of them (22 skills = 660k), 4 Rerolls(240k) and 2 Fan Fanfactor with a TR of 59.

Ideally, you want to find something in between these two spending levels. (although, 2 skills on every fling is intriguing, anyone want to bite at the roster Smile

The website has been updated to show who has registered.

I will hopefully very soon add an option to prepay which will be able to guarantee you a spot and get a special gift.

I think the limit is 30 people confortably for this room at the hotel, i will double check when i visit the hotel this week.

I am leaning towards leaving the mutations as is and them costing 50 gold, and i'm not sure on the Secret weapons yet, its either:
1. all races that are allowed have access to them
2. only goblins may take them.

I will need to do some more homework before i can make these decisions.

Thanks for all the input.

Personally, I might allow other teams to have secret weapons, provided that they are part of their normal allowances according ot the LRB.

This way you can have dark elf daggers and dwarf death rollers, but no orcs and mummies with chainsaws.

Just my two cents,

I would think that if they get mutations on doubles, then they could pay the 50K and get mutations.

Which then supports the idea that chaos (as an already weaker tourney team) could use the boost, (and will also encourage the chaos coaches to come out) if you let them have the 30K mutations.

Chaos mutations:
Maybe you should allow chaos to get mutations at the regular cost (a doubles roll) but no more than one of each mutation per team.

Really, the big ones are claw, big hand, razor sharp claws, tentacles, very long legs.

I was tempted to take chaos for this tourney but even at 1250k, it's not a good team without a mutation or two.

BTW, the rules for the Canadian open aren't clear that you cannot take mutations already. A strict reading implies that you can only take skills and no traits, actually.

When I originally wrote those rules the intention was that the doubles roll was for anything you normally need to roll doubles in for.

But keep in mind that there are several tournaments out there now that rtealize that even with a few mutations chaos are not a really tournament worthy team. But allowing the chaos coaches to have a few of them as regular skills encourages their play.

I will not be playing chaos, but feel that they should be having their mutations at 30K each.

While it is nice to have everything and everyone treated the same, it is also nice to encourage some variety by cutting the chaos coaches soem slack.

Even with the discount, the chaos team sucks. Let them have it cheaper and enjoy playing with more mutations. Skaven should still have to pay full price as they are a very competitive team in tournaments and do not need the extra help (or encouragement to get people to play them).

I mean c'mon, if Lagerbottom and I can agree..... Smile

I always thought that Mutations were ok for Chaos and Skaven before as long as they were taken after Game 3's Double Skill slot. (Assuming what seemed to be the standard skill progression that alot of North American tournies used.)

However, in an effort to make Cahos a more viable Tourney option...alot of tournies in 2005 allowed Chaos to take mutations in place of their normal skills. After each game...but they could not be stacked.

This tourney makes the discussion a bit cloudier because players can stack basic skills. This seemed to open up the possibility of Chaos playes being able to stack skills and mutations OR two mutations even. There are some pretty scary combo's out there. Well the Chaos Warrior that I mentioned before with Big Hand and Sure Hands might not be scary exactly from a bashy perspective...but he sure would make a nice ball carrier. However, if stacking with skills and mutations is not permitted than Chaos isn't going to cut it in a tourney with all of the other teams being as juicy.

Just my 2 cents.

That's true...assuming of course that the mutations are a doubles roll as per LRB 4...and not a regular skill roll as per the recent trend of NAF tournaments in North America.(Made as an inducement for Chaos coaches to allow for variety.)

And there you have it.

One of the beauties of playing Chaos is for the opportunity to take mutations. But as Kolja points out here is there are much better (and cheaper) options in the regular skills than mutations.

In the end, the mutations do not overpower the chaos team, and allow for some interesting variations. Allow it for chaos, but not for skaven.

OK Guys, some of may like and some of you won't but secret weapons will be allowed to all races as per the chart below:

GW OFFICIAL BLOOD BOWL SECRET WEAPONS

Weapon Cost Penalty Roll Teams used by
Ball & Chain 20,000 8+ Goblin

Blunderbuss 30,000 10+ Chaos Dwarf, Dwarf, Human, Skaven (Jezzail)

Chainsaw 60,000 8+ Amazon, Chaos, Chaos Dwarf, Dark Elf, Dwarf, Goblin, Human, Norse, Orc, Skaven, Undead

Death Roller 90,000 7+ Dwarf (Longbeards only)

Explosive Bomb 40,000 8+ Chaos Dwarf, Dwarf, Goblin

Pogo Stick 20,000 10+ Goblin

Poisoned Dagger 30,000 10+ Amazon, Chaos, Dark Elf, Human, Lizardmen, Skaven

I think if any coach is willing to pay the expense on a secret weapon and take the chance on having being kicked out of the game then why not.

Even with secret weapons being allowed i don't see many coaches taken them other then goblin coaches.

I hope by allowing secret weapons it creates more variety to the teams and allows coaches more flexibilty to create their perfect team they believe will winn the 2006 Canadian Open!!

I will post the chart along with the rules on secret weapons to the website within the next couple of days.

Ben-
Two questions...

1. Aside from budgetary limitations, is there any limit to the amount or type of secret weapons that a team can have? For example...can a Dwarf Team have multiple Death Rollers?

2. If the Ref throws a secret weapon player out of the game, is he gone for that specific game, or for the rest of the tourney?

3a. Will the player with the secret weapon have the stat profile of the Star Player with that Secret Weapon, or the profile of the player carrying it?

3b. If it has the profile of a roster player, is it only on linmen of a specific team, or could it be a positional?

I doubt it. I mean, an American might win this once, its like when the USSR won the Canada Cup, they didn't give Team Canada an award for the highest finishing Canadian team in the tournament. They don't give out an award at the US Open for the top finishing American.

Besides, I'm going to win this year, so we don't have to worry about an American winning.

So Zombie is bringing ogres, eh? Interesting choice for him. I had considered it myself, but am having a lot of fun painting up my goblin team.

The first team I ever played in Blood Bowl was a goblin team (I like rooting for the underdogs). They were the 2ed. models that came with the whole team in a giant platic blister (any old timers out there will remember what I mean). But I have put the original models to rest, and have converted a whole new team using Warhammer plastics, so DA No Good Broozers are being reborn!

Ben,

I noticed that you are allowing norse to take the ball and chain? Did you mean to allow that?

Also, what is the difference between an exploding bomb and a stink bomb?

EDIT - okay, a quick search has yielded me my answer at this website:

http://www.blood-bowl.net/Weapons.html

But Ben, please note that they have the stink bomb listed as 20K cheaper than what you have (and as it should as it does no real damage).

One more thing Ben,

You mention in your rules for the secret weapons that no player carrying secret weapons may carry the ball. Was this intentional? I only ask because there are rules for carrying the ball as a secret weapon holder (e.g. a chainsaw may not hold the ball only if the chainsaw is running, ball and chain fanatics may never, etc.). My main reason for asking is that I was painting up my pogo stick goblin, and it occured to me that if he is not able to hold the ball, then his purpose on the team is pretty moot.

Thanks.

No, the deal is that the last place in the Hair Club gets shaved by the top ranking member of the club at the next tournament that they both attend. Rod was the last ranked and Rob was the first ranked at the Deathbowl, that's why Rod is getting shaved at this tourney.

Should I be last place, then the next tourney we will all be at will probably be the Q'ermitt, which this year will be in the summer. Lots of time for the hair to grow back!

Not trying to be offensive man, but you have to be a comedian if you think that anybody but Da Broozers are going to take the title!

As the Deathbowl Axe stays in Montreal, so shall the Canadian Open title stay in Brampton!

Hey Guys

I made reservations for the Frigate & Firkin at 7:30 on Saturday evening.

It's about 10m from the hotel and i'm sure we will have enough cars to accomodate everyone.

The frigate is a great pub that will have the hockey game televised and they also have a couple of pool tables & darts.

Please reply by Wednesday if you plan on going as i need a estimated number to give to them.

Thx

This person of course would not have to pay if we do end up needing his services. I did have someone but he can no longer make it.

Call me tonight if you still want Glenn's number. I have been bugging him and did speak to him on Sunday. He is trying to convince his brother to come down, as well as AngryRob. Otherwise he did talk about coming alone.

Glenn and company are going to be staying at my place if they do come, so I was planning on calling tonight to find out what is happening. If you want to call him as well I can get you the number (but only have it at home).

Sorry to say but the alternate that I had lined up has backed out. I have an old list of BB players from the Bunker league a while back, I will give some of them a call and see if any can make it out.

Failing that I have a spare goblin team that I could bring. So if you do need to play, then at least you will have a team that shouldn't be able to sweep the tourney.

No he doesn't have any experience but he has always wanted to learn. He is a quick learner though especially for a 14 year old.

I would probably give him a crash course tonight but i teach until 9:30 myself and i wouldn't expect you to teach him on your own. That wouldn't be very nice.

Hopefully we can find an alternate, if not i will give him the crash course late tonight.

Nice.

I wasn't expecting to do so well with the gobbos, and so was not disappointed. My tournament points for wins/losses was 180, which was pretty respectable, I feel. I think my only real disappointment this weekend is that I didn't get very drunk Saturday night despite consuming copious amounts of beer. Very Happy

Overall my tourney record was:

Game 1 - lost to Khemri 0-3
Game 2- lost to humans 0-2
Game 3 - won vs. humans 2-0
Game 4 - lost to norse 0-1
Game 5 - lost to goblins. Let's just say I lost, and leave it at that.
Game 6 - won vs vampires 1-0

Overall a great tourney and the location was fantastic. I am 99% sure that I will be hosting the Q'ermitt at the same spot this year.

Sorry that I could not stay to the bitter end, but other duties called! Looking forward to hearing all the final results.

I finished 3-2-1, (same record as last year) but only in 8th this time.

Game 1 vs Norse 2-2 tie
Game 2 vs Amazons 2-1 loss (I'll get you next time brian)
Game 3 vs Vampires 2-1 win
Game 4 vs Chaos Dwarfs 2-0 win (and I got the bag of wheat too Very Happy

)
Game 5 vs Orcs 2-1 win
Game 6 vs Norse 2-1 loss

I think the highlight of the weekend was the ammount of beer we downed on Saturday night, as well as getting my revenge against Talons for beating me last year at the Open. My Skaven whooped his Orcs this year, .

I had a bunch of fun. Steve (zombie) won by kicking my ass in the final (table 1) game. He played excellently and deserved the win. I think the luck facter (his good, mine bad) accounted for the massive extent of the ass-whooping I suffered. Wink

I sure could have used some Tackle for facing Zombie but then I would have had to drop the 2nd golem to get the extra skills and that would have meant I would have lost those amazingly close games against guys like Joe and his killa orcs and therefore wouldn't have reached table 1 by turn 6.
Anyway, I went 5-1. But that "1" was an epic loss.

I'm thinking Orcs for the next Open.

Quote:

I had a Rat Ogre, I left him skillless, which you can argue made him weaker going against Minotaurs with Block in 3 games. I was sure that going into the tournament, the Rat Ogre was going to be nothing but a distraction to my opponent and I was not going to risk any blitzes with the guy (damn Wild Animal) so he did really well attracting hits from other big guys that might have been directed towards Gutter Runners. I will admit that him not having block cost me the game against Brians Amazons (hit on one turn bothdown, next turn, Rat Ogre blitz the ball carier, (I know, I said he wouldn't, but hes the only guy who could) bothdown

The Mighty Blow/Tackle was great on the Stormvirmine. I think they combined for 6 of the 8 casualties I inflicted in the tournamnet. The Tackle was kinda usless though, the only game where it really mattered was against Brians Amazons. My opponents were Norse x2, Orcs, Chaos Dwarfs and Vampires, so Tackle wasn't much of a factor. But, after seeing the number of pow/dodges that my Gutter Runners took, I would have still taken Tackle. The line going into the tournament was 5 other Skaven Teams, 2 Goblin, 2 Lizardmen, 1 High Elf, 3 Necros (come here ghouls),1 Amazon and 2 Human (catchers) and 1 Undead (more Ghouls) I wanted a guy who can make sure that the pow/dodges turned into pows against them.

I also had a thrower, 3 line rats, 2 re rolls and a fan factor.

I took 2 golems, 2 wights, 2 weres, 2 ghouls, 4 zombies. 2 RR, 1 FF.
I added Block to the golems and weres and surehands to the ghouls (6 skills total).

I found in the past that I had lots of trouble with strong teams so I took the 2nd golem and went without tackle skills, etc.
It worked - I beat an Orc team and a Khemri team, for example. Unfortunately, when I met Zombie and his woodies in game 6, I was in trouble.

1 chainsaw, 1 fanatic, 1 bomber, 1 pogo, 12 gobbos and 2 trolls. The trolls had block, 2 gobbos had diving tackle (pretty useless in the tourney) and 1 had sprint.

Block on the trolls was brilliant, but that was about it.

Da Scum took block on the troll and 3 AG4 gobbos which would have been a much better choice. I might have gone that way myself, but really wanted to use the secret weapons. He only had the ball and chain.

Paul do you think this might have been better than the roster you took? (Or does anyone else think my roster would have done well?)

Thanks, Rod.

The big difference in our rosters is I had an extra stormvirmine while your Rat Ogre had Block. The MB/Tackle combo led me to 2 Bag of Wheat Bonusus and tied casualties in another game, not to shabby for Skaven. (considering I was playing alot of power teams, I out casualtied Norse and CDs)

The +1 AG on a thrower would have come in handy. The Side Step on my Gutter won me 1 game for sure, and against Talons it would have made his tieing Touchdown alot harder if he didn't screw up the play by blitzing too early.

I found that the Stormvirmin became a target with MB on them, so having a second one to keep hurting guys after they got to the first one came in handy. I say that Block on the Rat Ogre would have been useless. He spent alot of time on the ground because he couldn't stand up without wasting a blitz action. I might have even left him off the team all together to grab a few more skills and a reroll.

Personally...I don't think that the Rat Ogre needs Block. Sure it's a great skill to give him, but if you wanted to be more economical with the points and still give the Rat Ogre some added value...Guard or Break Tackle is almost as good at half the price. Don't forget that even if you fail the Wild Animal roll, you still have a TZ and Guard would be big....to be honest...I almost rather stack the RO with these two skills than give him Block.

Regarding CAS bonus points...last years Phrakus saw a 4-way tie in casualties going into the final game. That was 3 Skaven teams and an Ogre team. The Ogre team ended up winning by 1. (I drew Orcs in the last games and ended up finishing 3rd in CAS.)

Blodge on all 4 Gutter Runners must have been nice, but I would have split them down the middle at least to open up the possibilities of these magic rats. I never finalized my roster once I knew I wasn't going to be able to make it, but I seriously thought about...and actually ordered the models for...4 gutter runners with very long legs. Sure I probably couldn't afford to give them all block, but imagine what that much speed would have meant. Four MA 10 players would have been alot to handle.

sucks being me missing this one...I have some ideas for other rosters, but I think I'll keep them to myself in case I can make it next year. Wink

That's true...especially coupled with Prehensile Tail. That will make it even tougher to get away, and will help to ensure that you don't have to use the Blitz to get something out of the RatOgre.

I had some trouble scoring with these buggers but they sure coukld bog down a team something fierce:

Black Orc Block, Guard
Black Orc Block, Guard
Black Orc Block, Guard
Black Orc Block, Guard
Blitzer Block, Tackle
Blitzer Block, Tackle
Thrower Pass, surehands
Lineman
Lineman
2RR
1FF

Next time definately think I'll replace a tackle with a strip ball given the abundance of bashy teams ( though this trend might change due to zombie's win), I liked the guard on the black orcs-- always an easy assist when you needed it --- not to mention a nightmare of a cage. Yet , for some reason despite the great frequency with which I knocked down opposing players I had some trouble breaking armour... perhaps replace one guard with a mighty blow and block with him every turn?
