Hey, just wondering - regarding the PC version of Blood Bowl 2*, does anyone have any advice for playing as Ogres? (Or another stunty team. Seems like Ogres are the most well-rounded one, though?) Since my league is starting up again after a break, so I figured I'd go in with something different, with no expectations of success.

So yeah, I know I'm gonna most likely lose every match, but I figured I'd seek some advice to better prepare myself so that I hopefully go down with style, rather than as a wet fart. I figure I should probably give all my ogres Block ASAP, so they're harder to take down (and hopefully don't bonehead too much, so that they can even get an attack in, now and again!) but otherwise, hard to say. Maybe it might be worth giving one accurate throw, maybe? Just in case I need to toss a snotling for a touchdown.
Additionally... I guess I'll give more dodgy/evasion stuff for the snotlings, seeing as they can't stand up in a fight anyway? Maybe one or two with dirty player, since if/when I can't win, it'll at least be good to give the victors an injury or two to think about! Otherwise, how I should be arraying my guys for drives is the big thing I'm wondering about. Like, put three on the line, or just two? And then... one on each wing? Should I normally hold one back to reinforce where needed (or to throw a little fella, if I'm desperate) or? I'm not familiar with stunty teams at all, so apologies in advance! And yeah, I know - doesn't matter how much I plan, it's gonna go sideways turn one anyway

* I can't remember what tabletop rules BB2 uses... 2020?

BB2 uses the ~~SRD~~ LRB rules. (2016 and 2020 iterated on the SRD rules, with most of the changes being very minor fiddling with team player costs or special rules for stunty teams.) In particular, it's missing a bunch of buffs they gave ogres in later editions, like snotlings not counting for team rating.

You're going to lose. A lot. I'm glad you're prepared for this but ogres are just really bitterly bad. If there's any non-stunty team you think might be interesting, I'd play that instead, especially if you're committing to a whole season with other players.

Ogres only have Strength skill access by default. Guard and Break Tackle are the best strength skills for an ogre team, although Grab can be interesting for trapping enemies in a knot of ogres. Juggernaut and Stand Firm are also interesting, but you probably won't get that many skills on an ogre. You'll want Block for any doubles (even a double six tbh); the next best choice is Dodge. Don't bother with throwing skills, because doubles are so precious.

Skills on snotlings are mostly bloat. Sidestep is amusing for annoying opponents but honestly you're best off firing any snotling that gets a skillup, just because it's bloating your team rating. A skilled snotling isn't worth the inducements you're giving away.

You'll want to handle the ball with your ogres, similar to Bull Centaurs, because you want all of your SP on them if you can. If you get an AGI up, that ogre is now your golden boy. You're mainly hoping to develop your ogres as much as possible. Because of their low AGI, mainly save your rerolls for ballhandling. Don't get greedy on a Bonehead unless it's going to make or break a point. In particular, unless you absolutely have to move the ball this turn, it's fine for the ballcarrier to bonehead a turn.

Hmm, fair enough - I'd forgotten about the "only access to strength skill-ups" thing, with ogres. Overall, you username seems very appropriate here! :v:

Well, maybe I'll see if I can get a test match going, with one of the others. I'm hoping to convince one or two of the others to use a stunty team (one seems like he'll go for it) but we'll see.

In terms of other teams, for the next season my plan was to use Underworld (kinda what I originally had planned for this season, due to the mutation shenanigans, etc.) or maybe Chaos Dwarves. We'll see though - depending on how things pan out, I guess I might have to follow your suggestion on that! Shame that BB2 missed out on some pro-stunty rule revisions, too

Don't forget to toss snotlings at cages. I lucked out once and killed a high elf blitzer. They still scored on me but it was cool.

chin up everything sucks: Jan 29, 2012

Ogres are fun if you just enjoy bashing stuff and causing casualties. Snotlings replacing the old LRBs goblins really did kill the team though. Goblins could at least act as decent ball runners.

Asking for a friend...

Not really sure. I've never looked into what a "standard" game is. We've been playing between 600-700 points the last few weeks, but haven't specifically been using the contents of the Battlehosts or looking up tournament guidelines. We're basically just using what we have and think will be a good size for an afternoon of gaming.

My last 600 point list was

-Sharku + 4 warg riders
-Lurtz + 7 Uruk scouts w/ bows + Uruk warbanner
-Uruk scout captain + 6 scouts
-Uruk captain + Uruk shaman + 4 Uruk wariors + 2 Uruk warriors w/ pikes

So 29 (34) models in total. I put the second number in brackets because it's at most 29 models on the table and then you'll need Sharku and 4 orcs on foot as dismounts for the warg riders. Some people even go so far as to have wargs without riders for when the orcs get killed, but we just use tokens to indicate it because gently caress that (besides, 99% of the time, the warg just flees after the rider dies, so it's a lot of effort and cost for very little game utility).

The Isengard box would be a pretty solid starting point for the above list as it would cover your scout and warrior options and you'd have Saruman and Grima as well. The thing to remember is that in the current edition, you unlock warriors by taking heroes. Heroes have different ratings and the more powerful the hero is, the larger a warband you can build around them. In the above list, I had 4 warbands as you can see, with Lurtz leading the largest and acting as the overall general for the force.

I'd say the best way to start is a Battlehost plus a Command pack. You can skirt the command models if you paint specific warriors to represent generic heroes, but you'll need to do a bit of converting if you want something to pass as a warbanner, drummer, or shaman as the sprues are super basic.

I've not actually put together a Mordor army list yet. The photo is just the Battlehost plus the commanders I picked up in the last couple of months.

To sum up, the Battlehosts are a great value, but you're limited in list building options because there's only 1-2 dedicated hero models per box to build warbands around. You also have to consider dismounts, so with the Rohan box for instance you don't actually have 24 warriors of Rohan. 6 of them have to be dedicated dismounts to the Riders. They're an excellent starting point to flesh out your rank and file, but they're lacking in options.

There are Quickstart rules on the Warhammer Community Downloads page. They ignore the dismount rules and list building, telling you just to field the boxes as seen, and it's a decent enough introduction to the game. It would likely feel quite similar to how it played back in 2001 when the first edition was released alongside Fellowship,

Underworld in BB2 are okay, solidly average or slightly below. They're Skaven but weaker: mutations on normals doesn't really make up for no Gutter Runners. Your real stars are the Blitzers, who pretty easily get Block/MB/Claw followed by Tackle, PO, or Guard. Unlike actual Skaven, you''ll probably want both Throwers because the alternative is goblins, but they're really more for carrying the ball than throwing it. (You'll want to try to get SP on the Blitzers first, though.) The good mutations are Claw on Blitzers, Claw and Tentacles on the Troll, Big Hand and Two Heads on a Thrower ballcarrier (after Block ofc), and possibly Two Heads as an alternative to Sidestep for goblins.

Chaos Dwarfs are a top tier team. Try to get SPP on your dwarfs and centaurs, not the hobgoblins. Break Tackle is interesting on centaurs, but comes after Block and either Sure Hands (for a ballcarrier) or Mighty Blow/Tackle (for a blitzer). Dwarfs get standbys like Guard, Mighty Blow, etc. Claw is the only interesting mutation here.

I got insanely lucky when a guy sold me Shadespire and Nightvault with all the corresponding seasonal warbands at the beginning of Direchasm. He realized later on that he goofed and wanted to buy them back since it was all OOP, but I had already painted most of them at that point, so I declined.

I hate the FOMO strategy. I haven't had time to paint or play in months but I still buy stuff now and then, because if I don't, it's gone (I realize that is the point of the strategy).

You can use Underworlds models in Warcry, right? It would be nice if they had the OOP kits on some sort of rotational schedule or something, there's definitely a few kits that I'd want to pick up just for the sake of building and painting them.

Played a couple games of Underworlds, running the Ravagers against the Starblood Stalkers, using the Gnarlwood Rivals decks. Slotting in Rivals decks was fun- I was never that interested in the deckbuilding aspect, and being able to just swap decks in and out appeals to me. Unfortunately I spent most of both games trying to kill Klaq-Troq, the Saurus murder-machine, and my dice weren't cooperating with me in the second one.

Yes you can. The 2021(?) Tome of Champions has the rules for the teams pre-Harrowdeep; and unless they've updated the points in White Dwarf, those are still the most current rules. I think there's been a recent White Dwarf with some of the newer teams, though so maybe the book might be outdated by now...

I'm sure they'll bring back some of the older sets eventually (probably without cards, but whatever). They're really giving Underworlds another push at relevancy with the format changes, so I feel it'd be a perfect opportunity to run through a reprint of the older season teams for new players jumping on board. Especially with the Rival Decks, they wouldn't even need to worry about how broken the older cards might be, just do the models.

I'm also interested in getting into Warcry. I have every Underworlds war band (either to use with their actual Warcry rules or as proxies for models), the Stormcast half of the Dominion and Soul Wars boxes plus some random Stormcast characters from store anniversary models and the like, and the Kruleboyz half of the Dominion box plus this year's store anniversary Kruleboy. How should I go about designing a first Warcry war band or two? I will also probably get Sundered Fate.

Rules for Warcry are free, you can check them here:

And of course, the profiles (including points) are also free, you can check every Stormcast fighter here:

And Destruction fighters are here:
https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/3vzCJunT7paxw0ds.pdf

With 1000 points as standard, Warcry warbands are smallish. I play Stormcasts and I'm lucky to squeeze seven or eight fighters into a list, I usually just use six fighters. You have more than enough for a few warbands.

It looks like the Corpse Guilders are the white collar to the blue-collar Corpse Grinders, but do we know how compatible the two are?

I usually have a mix of punch and speed. I'd say that the latter is a little more important as you'll need some board control depending on the mission. I usually have a Lord-Imperatant for distance and support, Gryph-hounds for speed, Vindictors for general use, and Annihilators for punching and being punched.

Stormcasts usually have high toughness, so I don't worry too much about that, still, a lone warrior can get easily ganged up, so be careful about it.

Guilders are the ones collecting bodies for profit. Corpse Grinders are killing and eating people because they are a blood / murder cult. There is a bit of overlap, but they aren't aligned per se. I suppose you could make an argument that the Grinders could help boost profits a bit for the Guilders, but I'm sure enough people die in NM to make the Grinders contributions pale in comparison.

But it's fine, I guess...
You just keep being you!

Grinders are the Corpse Guild warehouse workers who liked their job a little too much.

Also the Grinders have moved on from processing the corpses the Guilders have collected to going out and producing the corpses themselves. That's a little too forward-thinking and we all know how Imperial institutions dislike that kind of behaviour.

This is why you shouldn't pay people based on the amount of work they do. It's like paying a fire brigade based on how many fires they put out.

"Whoops, not enough corpses, guess I'll just have to make some more work for myself."
