The Sandgroper Cup here in Perth is next week. Im taking Orcs,
my line-up is
1 Troll
4 Blitzers
3 Black Orcs
2 Throwers
1 Goblin
2 Linemen
4 Re-Rolls
1 FanFactor (because the rules say's so)
We are alloud to allocate 4 skills that a player can normally take(not with doubles), to 4 seperate players.
What skills do you recomend.
I have this line-up because my whole team is converted and Ive run out of time and parts to convert any more. |

Do you not have a 4th BOB mini? I'd really recommend taking it if you do. 13 players is a lot, so you should be able to afford to drop one and a reroll to get the BOB and maybe an apoth.
Skills leader on a thrower, frenzy or tackle on a blitzer, guard on the troll & guard a BOB. |

He already has 4 rerolls so I'd take a Guarding BOB over this. |

| Agreed - however if he's got the choice of another BOB then I'd take that, drop down to 3 RR and take Leader. |

| I don't have another BOB unfortunataly, I was thinking along the lines of giving all my BOB's and my troll guard, and just smash everything that comes near them. |

I have used 4 BoBs with guard in the past a few times, and that worked pretty good. 3 BoBs and a Troll with guard should work-out good as well.
I know at least another good Orc coach that would probably go with Block on the 3 BoBs and guard on the Troll. That would also work pretty good. |

Frenzy on a blitzer and guard on troll & two BOBs then.
All guard is just a little bit too vulnerable to blodge IMO. |

I would favour Guard over Block aganst those teams.
Having Block won't help you knock them down and it's making 2 dice blocks hard to get for your opponent that'll stop them knocking you down. |

| Ditto. Block is better against Elves etc who don't have the strength to compete in a bash war anyway. |

Greatly depends on ruleset IMO.
But certainly they are in the top 8. |
