A lizard team with no skinks is already dead. And if you're not a Linerat, WHY ARE YOU STANDING NEXT TO A SAURUS, SKAVEN. Sauruses are dangerous.

(I played a pubbie with a Murder Chaos team as my lizards in Auld. Even without Fend I'd just punch or dodge my way free each turn. As I recall, he ragequit because he could only get 1 or 2 blocks a turn)

Lizards are beautiful angels.

Updated tally is as follows:

Necro - 27
Lizardmen - 19
Khorne - 5
Ork, Undead, Human, and a bunch of loving elves except dark - 1

GNU Order posted:

Those of you in the one-off pools feel free to change your vote because I doubt any team but the top two at this point win (Khorne is a strong dark horse contender though)
HAH GUESS AGAIN, CHANGING FROM KHORNE TO SECURE INEVITABLE NECRO VICTORY

As far as teams go, I think Necro has a lot of potential and variety for a demo(necro)cratic. Werewolves are obviously the star players, but having some leveled wights and ghouls is a pretty great thing as well. And then Flesh Golems down the road, but I usually skip out on those at start in favor of rerolls.

When you fall, get right back up again.
When we inevitably play Lizardmen and all the werewolves get murdered by rolling double both downs trying to block skinks you will know that your choices have displeased Sotek, who is close friends with Nuffle what with both of them liking hearts being torn out.

The dude survives SPITEWIZARDing.

Though I usually save my Spitewizardry for after they've burned their apo. So it's got a better chance to stick.

I suspect, just like Kumquat, if England ever gets Legend his last skill will be sprint.
So he can be never scurred for one more square.

England is a magical player. His best ever play involves shadowing a gunner for 8-9 spaces and then using pass block (from an item card in fumbbl) to intercept a pass immediately after.

Still not my favorite fumbbl player though

Agent355

His purpose on the team is to stand there and have players pushed into him, almost every other player on the team has grab, which they use to push next to the 7 st tentacle standfirm big guy. He doesn't actually need to block and when he does he gets a 3db unassisted.

you have a 1/36 chance of failing a a 2db with block, you have a 1/27 chance of failing a 3db without block, you have a 1/9 chance of failing a 2db without block.

I could make him better at tentacling people and 3 times as good at blocking, or 4 times as good at blocking without the extra tentacle juice.

If he was a blitzer kind of big guy it would be different, but I mostly use him as a roadblock and obstacle with the team, so I stand by my decision.

Ok kids, derail's over

The LP team is going to be Necromantic

Necromantic are an undead team. I didn't mention it in the first video, but all non-undead Blood Bowl teams have the ability to purchase a Team Apothecary. When your players suffer a Casualty, once a game you can use your apothecary and roll another Casualty roll, which may be an improvement on the first outcome. Then you can choose between the two. Necromantic don't have that luxury, so every game we'll be living on the edge.

On a Necromantic team, all of the players except the Ghouls start with the Regeneration skill. When they suffer a Casualty, they have a 50/50 chance of regenerating from their mortal wounds, negating them completely. We'll be placing our trust in the dice to not destroy the good players.


The roster is as follows

Werewolf (1) - The star of the show. Eventually we will be picking up a second one but for now we've got one hero. The werewolf is very very fast, and reasonably durable. He starts with Frenzy, Claw and Regeneration. Frenzy means if he pushes an opponent without knocking them down, he can punch again on the same turn, meaning he has double the potential to do damage. The prize murdering skill of the Werewolf is Claw. He shreds right though durable, heavily armored opponents. If an opponent has higher than 7 Armor Value, he treats the opponent as though they have 7 Armor Value.
Flesh Golem (2) - Flesh Golems are the rocks of this team. The two of them are molasses slow but very durable and strong. They begin with the skill Stand Firm, meaning they can't be pushed backwards.
Wight (2) - Wights are the enforcers on this team. They have decent stats across the board that don't really stand out, but they begin with the Block skill, making them invaluable in the early game as reliable punchers.
Ghoul (1) - While Werewolfs are the fastest units on the team, Ghouls are also reasonably fast. They also start with Dodge making them hard to knock down and fairly competent ballcarriers. The fact that they are the only unit on Necro without Regeneration means they'll be more likely to have Casualties stick.
Zombie (5) - The shuffling horde of zombies brings us to 11 players. They're as slow as Flesh Golems but not as strong or durable. They have no starting skills (other than Regeneration) but they're cheap as hell and good fodder to fill out the team.

We're also picking up 3 Team Rerolls.

I need a team name and 11 player names, get to it!

Not to single you out but this is a thing that runs rampant in Blood Bowl.

I'm as big of a fan of named team gimmicks as the next guy, but they're rampant in the community already and I'd like to keep the naming open to a lot more variety

I like naming all the zombies after puns or whatever if people want a theme, but I think the previous LPs worked well when most of the players had unique-ish names.
