To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. After that, it’s fine to get a Python Warrior Thrower as your 13th player as she will add some utility to the roster. K_G : I tend not to see Boa as being so much of a bargain at 200k because he has a very ordinary stat line, and as much as I like the Dodge/SS/PT combo he exists in a world where we have a ST4 Blodge Karla for 10k more. Bob: “Years of warfare in Lustria against settlers and Lizardmen have created the strongest and toughest women in the Old and New Worlds.

I like this roster for a couple of reasons: First, it starts with 12 players, giving you instant depth, which you’ll need with an AV8+ team. On the Ball will give the Thrower bonus movement to recover the ball on kick-offs, and Safe Pass makes natural 1s on pass attempts mostly painless. It’s not a drastic change, but adding more variance in MA and STR across the team, as well as some oddball skills, definitely makes them less of a milquetoast experience. Alternatively you can hire Akhorne to get an extra player, or if facing some slightly more developed teams you’ve got more options such as Helmut Wolf and his Chainsaw, or one of the new Lustrian Star Players.The rest of the team can also get Blocked easily and an entire Block and Dodge team will stand up most of the time after being blocked. As far as Eagle Warrior Linewomen go, I would suggest taking a random General skill whenever any of them ever get to 3 SPP.

HardyRoach: Definitely agree that he’s an absolute bargain, and his special rule definitely softens the Animal Savagery blow, even for me.

I would have been more happy if some of the positionals, like the Blitzers and new Blockers, traded in their Dodge for Block and Brawler / Claw , respectively. Dan: While I get what you’re saying, I do feel the need to point out that every Skaven coach everywhere has no problem feeding their own rats to a Rat Ogre.The new skills, stat changes and positionals are nice, but it hasn’t quite solved what I viewed as the team’s core problems. You’ve got the potential here to Sidestep into a cage, just take the ball from the carrier with his special rule, then even if you get punched you can Sidestep out and Safe Pair of Hands it right next to your players. They’re still AG3+ dodge too, which means they’re still as agile as ever, then as fast and as strong as Saurus.

I’m definitely disappointed that the linos – and these are the pieces that will largely define the experience of playing with them and against them – remain unchanged Dodge spammers. Dan: We’ve got 2 brand new Star Players and, finally, a model (and a really, really good one, at that!At that point your Jaguar Warrior would be a miniature Big Guy, and a very scary asset on the field. It's been a while since we got an updated team, but oh boy did we get a big one with the new Vampire Blood Bowl team, meaning we better get cracking with some Vampire Starting Rosters right?

Though they may be relatively fragile when they do get knocked down (all that Agility comes at the cost of some Armour), doing so is easier said than done – they will often be able to dodge out of trouble! But when it fizzles on a 1, or when Estelle gets removed (not at all hard) before she uses it, it looks a lot less good. He’s also extremely effective at setting the corner of your own cage, but he can also perform un-failable Blitzes (thanks to Animal Savagery ) to clear a path for your speedy Piranha Warriors. They are, entirely unchanged from the BB2 and Teams of Legends rosters and remain the fragile yet hard to knock. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

If you think the Throwers are worth having then you can fit both of them in, giving you all the positional players and still have the funds to start with three rerolls. HardyRoach: I was hoping for maybe a bit more of an MA differential in the team – so Linewomen being MA 5, and another positional being MA 7 or 8. We’ll be discussing the changes as well in the future and what it means for the team in a separate article, as well as the Player Builds when we get to them.
