Two more issues of White Dwarf are being added to the Warhammer Vault . Issues 332 and 333 hail from 2007 and feature Gondor and the Chaos Space Marines as cover stars, respectively. Catcher breaks the closest to even, trading only 2 movement for one strength, most would consider this, particularly for the position and role, a fairly poor trade. And you only get two of them anyway. and for these trade-offs, they seem to gain…nothing. They have no unique positional players to lend flavour or unusual potential tactics, no particular strength and yet have more of the weaknesses that plague an elf team than even the elves themselves.

For a double increase as you start with Dodge, Side Step is the other great option. If you already have Stand Firm then don’t bother with it. Likewise if you get Side Step, then don’t bother taking Stand Firm either. I can’t really see any other double choices that would be much use, perhaps Jump Up. I wouldn’t take it early on though but as a late choice I can see it being effective. A friend to all frogs, Estelle La Veneaux is also the sort of friend you want on the Blood Bowl pitch. She has enough foul hexes in store to transfix her opponents, allowing your ball carrier to stroll into the endzone to score. Glotl Stop Their only saving grace is how cheap they are, which allows them to at least attempt to be competitive in an early or short league. They are very much a outside the box team.. in that all their players usually can be hybrids to do the functions uncharacteristic to their positions on other teams. (Ball hawking Linewomen for example). 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. Additionally, his special rule means that once per game, his Animal Savagery punch can be used on an opposition player instead of one of your own! That’s really good! It’s like a free Mighty Blow Stab once per game! With Glotl’s ST6, Frenzy , Stand Firm , and Prehensile Tail he’s the ultimate cage smasher and is well worth the 270k gp price tag.HardyRoach: Definitely agree that he’s an absolute bargain, and his special rule definitely softens the Animal Savagery blow, even for me. You might be underestimating the ferocity of the debate surrounding rat ogres on Skaven teams, however, but that’s another article altogether. Other than that, I’ve won the vast majority of my games, completely obliterating chaos, goblins, orcs, humans, and dark elves. The only teams (other than dwarves) that have posed some trouble have been high-strength bruisers that are hard to injure: Lizardmen and Khemri Reply Show your dedication to the God-Emperor with these three purity seal pin badges – one each for three of the most famous Space Marines Chapters, decorated with Chapter icons and litanies.

Now, if they had a unique player class, perhaps a warrior princess (if thats not too cliche’d) who could give the team some punch or possibly some staying power…or hell even some agility…

Having said that, while I think the team is less strong now, I do think it’ll be a much more interesting team to actually play and to play against. 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. I’ve just been interviewing Boa Kon’ssstriktr, Jim. He mentioned that he wants to move into Government when he finishes playing.
