Lizards are a poo poo, let's go Necromantic.

I would feel more comfortable with easily replaceable players, and have no love for passing game teams. Murderball all the way.

Eh, I thought I'd share a story of Nuffle's real world reach. My GPU lit on fire and the PSU melted. That's how hard I lost.

I feel I might have a fun one. My two brothers were playing a game, Orcs versus Humans, it was the last few turns of the last half, One all, and my second brother had his Orcs sitting pretty much in close proximity to my First Brother's touchdown zone with the ball and only a single Human Thrower nearby to contest it. So to get some extra SP for his players, he decides to make an easy hand off, to his Thrower. Completely flubbs it, drops the ball.

The Human Thrower runs up, picks up the ball, and at the time, there was a catcher down the other end of the field, the Thrower straight up Hail Marys that poo poo down the entire length of the pitch, on a 6, and then the ball somehow bounced to the Catcher. He catches it, and touched it down for a 2-1 win.

Sometimes a chance in hell works out really well

Jump-up SDS has convinced me that it is good for the punching, and I like the punching more then the passing.

Victor von Ghoul just to try and keep a name theme going.

Keep him we can replace him, but I feel we would be better served saving our money for more important things then replacing disposable players because they did what they were made to do.

The Mightiest Blow Let's get a Wight that can actually hurt people, and not get his shins broken.

Keep the Flesh Prince, it was a Mighty Blow Dauntless Troll Slayer with assists, you can't fault him for getting knocked on his rear end by that poo poo.

Save for the Wolf. Zombies, we can get Zombies later, we can get Zombies in game even. But that was an incredibly valuable investment that contributed nothing more then SPP for a Troll Slayer, that must not happen again, we will get the Wolf and the first level up is going to be loving Block or Dodge, no questions asked. Protect your investments with good punching skills, Elf Ball never kept players alive, Murderball will.

I would say I prefer the player names to the position names.

They should be turned on when you are dealing with teams that have players that look the same (cough Humans cough), but when you are dealing with teams whose players are really obvious we don't need it.

EDIT: Ra's al also keeps tripping over his own feet when it is really important that he doesn't. He must have a birth defect

Having said that, wrestle is a valuable skill, especially when it's on not-valuable players. Zombies are great wrestlers because almost always they're bringing down a unit more valuable than they are

Would it technically be a lunge attack?



EDIT: As far as sticking Block on him, it might be nice for sticking next to people, but I feel like we can afford to have our expendable, low MA, not particularly fantastic at punching players even with Block not have Block, more then we could on say, a Wight, or a Flesh Golem, and if we have the choice to go "gently caress this troll, get sacked small son" with that kind of cheap lovely unit, I would do it.

I threw around with a Khorne team against robots to see what was what.

The Bloodthirster isn't worth jack poo poo if he gets knocked over I have decided, he gets knocked over and unless Wild Animal decides not to poo poo in your mouth, that is how he is going to spend the ENTIRE HALF just thrashing on the floor like a 6 year old having a tantrum. I would have thought if I had a blitz action the +2 would apply but no the getting up overrides the 'Punch this guy in the face' order and I just wasted my Blitz.

I'm going to stick with my Norse team. Block on all my players makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Without being Hitler.

So many things to vote on. Okay

Kick for our Zombie. No one else has it, it's too good of a skill to ignore but too niche to give it to any of our more important players. So give it to the Zombie.
Stay on target, get the Flolem. We need things to hold the line in light of us being down two of our ball running players.
Keep Blitzer Smashed knees never hurt anyone, we sunk 120k into the Werewolf lets at least get some use out of him before we consider booting him.
Keep Ras'al for now broken ankles maybe but at the very least he still has Dodge. and like jBereton said, even with -1 MA, he is still faster then most players on our team and packing Dodge to boot. If he doesn't get any levels up later though or he gets another permanent injury, we should put him down.

Is it weird how the difference between our main positional players is so stark?

MacGruff? Hands down Star player, Wolf Number 2? Hospitalized frequently
Beefslab? Feeds the other team knuckle sandwiches. Flesh Prince? Feeds the worms
Santos von Hammerstein? Tied 1st most valuable player. Ras'al? Will never catch up, figuratively and now literally.
Dr. Wight? Death on two legs. Wight Power? Walking elf shaped punching bag.

It's a good name, but it is nowhere near Flesh Gordan

Compare and contrast, Dr.Wight, putting on a clinic and removing 3 players from the game, including the OP as gently caress Super Halfling.

Seriously gently caress firing Ra's Al, fire loving Wight Power, he is literally completely useless because we tried to make him a passing Wight rather then a murder Wight.

I like seeing people getting punched in the face. This game has much face punching and it pleases me greatly.

Edit: Also it is not like Wight Power's track record has been fantastic so far.

Even the Elfiest of Blood Bowl teams get dice screwed every once in a while. Let's not go writing off players before their time.

Maybe I am over reacting, but come on, I think Wight Power has completed a grand total of one pass in recent memory, and it was an end of the game vanity pass.
