Parkingtigers posted:My biggest question is if future teams will only be purchasable with coins. These first two were used as pre-order bonuses, and the coin shop wasn't set up. There's a good chance they may make it so all DLC is coins only, forcing you to buy into the nonsense fake currency. Aren't the preorder teams already avaiable as DLC for cash (not Cyans) though? That would seem to be a precedent.

Picked up blood bowl Chaos when it was on sale a week or so ago. Hoping BB2 will eventually get all the races but until then looking forward to this!

Is there any meaningful difference between Blood Bowl Legendary Edition and Chaos Edition other than extra teams? Also, is anyone still playing Cyanide BB1?

Just played this 1800TV chaos team. I get to attack first but my opponent gets the Blitz kick-off event, and he attempts to push one of my peasants towards the sideline with his Blitzin Minotaur, just knocking him over. My turn I surround his solo Minotaur, knock him down and foul him with my Dirty Player peasant. Injury -Str, and he disconnects. Mission accomplished.

I love those stories. Just played a game where a chaos boy had like 350 more tv than me. I hired my man Thorg and proceeded to beat him so hard he conceded on the 2nd half.

Cool, Just played against an Orc player with an AGI5 thrower and two Agi 4 blitzers, both with Nerves of Steel. Respect! I won anyway but it was quite refreshing to play against something different. If he skills up his key players some more, and drops 2 of his rerolls it will be a very tough team to beat.

Oh man, I just had a pretty great reversal. My fledgling chaos team up against lizards with some 290 higher TV than me. I already prepared myself to get good and proper reamed, and to top it off this happened after a turn one pitch invasion: But then it seemed like Nuffle wanted to make up for it, giving me plenty of injuries. A few crowdsurfs on top of that, and soon enough things looked like this:  Alas it was still a 1:1 because I got just little too greedy. He managed to put a skink next to my carrier in the very last turn, and I figured it'd be safe enough to do a 3d blitz on it. Promptly triple-skulled, reroll didn't have a pow either, and then I failed the dodge with the carrier. Perestroika fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Nov 14, 2015 |

I've unexpectedly found something that is hilarious in BB2. Diving Tackle. We all know it, few use it. Mostly it's seen on agility access only players like skinks or goblins. But let me tell you, it is great on teams where you have to spend doubles for it, and the other guy doesn't expect it. I have 3 diving tackle dwarf long beards, and it is amazing. It trips up elves, it makes ag 3 players freeze in fear, and the best part I think is that it is kind of a sneaky skill. When you plot out a dodge cyanide gives you the percents every step of the way, but those percent pop ups do not take into account Diving Tackle. So you can see some avg ag3 guy planning a 3+ dodge to move around and then BAM! it's a 5+. I love it.

Main problem with diving tackle on dwarfs is their main weakness is other stronger bash teams which diving tackle doesent help with at all. Dwarfs have a pretty strong defence against elves already so its not that nececary. Though I've always played around with the idea of giving diving tackle to the orc troll or black orc since they dont really need that much bash help.

Consider the Dorf strat vs Elves: On Offense: rub mans, hope they fail a 2+ early in their turn. On Defense: rub mans, hope they fail a 2+ early in their turn. Seems like a good idea to me.

I can just 2-1 grind them and they cant even leap to strip ball me since I have a blodge sure hander carrying the ball. What I'm afraid of is ST4 players and claw.

I just had the saddest cord pull ever. My 2130 dwarfs got matched up vs 1030 humans. Dude buys Morg, Zug, everything. We line up and kick off, it looks like the guy is going to play the game out. He takes 5 blocks on the line of scrimmage, no knock downs and then cordpulls. God drat it. What an absurd game I would have loved to play out.

Just started a fresh Skaven team in the NAF. 1350TV Chaos, but mostly upgraded with Block and stuff. I manage to score turn 5. He has possession the whole second half but decides to score turn 15, which gives me exactly two turns to score. I receive, set up my BC gutter runner in a cage on the 8yard line and watch him set up a double line defense in front of me. My best course gives me 50%,50% and 2x GFI, with dodge. 2-1 victory. Rats rule. My Storm Vermin got MVP and levels up. I gave him guard like I always do on players that have STR access, but in retrospect i'm not sure I should have as there won't be enough guard around to make it matter, and if I blitz it will usually be with these Storm Vermin anyway. What skills should I give them? ClawPOMB?

You can make them killers, but they're better, imo, as guard rats since you're probably going to wind up outnumbered on the pitch against anyone even passingly bashy and PO gets to be a bigger liability at that point. Tackle and mighty blow are good anyways, and, dodge, fend, gently caress even grab for shits and giggles, are all good skills on them. Guide I read that I generally agree with is that you should use blitzers more for utility and make your gutter runners more aggressive blitzey types instead, which entails handing them guard on the first double. It's handy, so if you follow with that logic you can end up with a decent amount of guard possessing skaven. http://bbtactics.com/gutter-runners/

Don't rub it in, I didn't even know BB2 was released and I only got the free Lizardmen. The wood elves are DLC now, but I refuse to pay 7€ for just one team.

Guard is actually really useful on skaven because while you're usually only going to have your blitz as a block, your decreasing player count makes getting the necessary assists difficult at times. Building them into a clawpomb murder piece is a solid idea to try and remove a few key opponent pieces, but such a piece is going to be in competition with your gunners for the blitz, and especially on defense your gunners will often want the blitz to knock the ball loose.

I'm also really fond of horns/frenzy/tackle/strip SV. Might not be the most murdery guy, but he'll get a ball out more times than not. Then your gunners run in and you get a touchdown because skaven.

I always get Tackle first skill on at least one blitzer because, without it, dodge guys (and whole dodge teams) are so so so annoying. I probably overpriotize it tbh.

I love to have at least one Tackle/Wrestle/Strip Ball guy on my teams. Wrestle is a highly underappreciated skill to have. The Wrestle/Strip Ball combo will get the ball loose 5/6 times (unless the BC has sure hands). Tackle obviously does what it always does. This worked really well on my Bretonnian Blockers. afterwards one of my Blitzers just had to pick the ball up.

How does the Horns/Dauntless interaction work? Does dauntless give you equal STR and then horns give you a 2db?

Nope, horns first then dauntless. So it makes the dauntless roll 1 easier but that's it. IIRC it's one of the skill interactions which is specifically defined in the rules

In short when you block a player with dauntless, you always want to have at least 1 assist. That way you get a 2dB

I had one of my lvl 6 Blitzers die last night to a GFI .... good thing my Apothecary was having a good day and saved his rear end. THANKS DOC! (always thank him, it's good Karma) Faced a very strong orc team. All his orcs were lvl 3 or 4. Block/Guard/Tackle on most with some speciality skills like Mighty Blow or Frenzy. I was more than glad I pulled off a Tie. 4 Blorcs, 4 Blitzers, 2 Throwers and one Lineman. That's a pretty stong setup
