I just wanted to say that i agree with the 8338 Brettonian Knights/Blitzer not fitting to my imagination of the BB World.
I think a human that hast MA 8 and 8 AR is just wrong. You know not Human anymore but Kind of Superhuman. So even if it would make an interesting Team to play with/against it would constantly bug me seeing those Guys on the Field. I don't care what history saith but it just collides with my Imagination heavily. And from reading this topic i can say i am not alone.

So if you want 8338 Blitzer maybe i think the Team should not be a human one. If you want a Brettonian Team i think its better to keep them on a human Level.

I when i should modify your Team to a Point it looks fitting i would do it like this.

Knights
5339 Block Dountless GS + a third Skill Fend, Guard, Juggernaut, Stand Firm are Options. Gourd fits best to my Image of a Knight, but might be to powerful. So I'd start with Stand Firm as a first try.

Yeomen
7338 Wrestle GS If there is a strong demand of MA8 8337 would be an Option too. Than it might look better with to GA as possible Skills.

Lineman maybe just Like Basic human Lineman

Might be to week or strong but its a Starting point that fits my picture of of the Brettonians way better then 8338 Knights.

Hi Dschosch,
you're more than welcome to create your own Bret team. Heck, do a search, I think you could find 20 suggested rosters fairly quickly.
But after 10+ years, I consider "my" version done.
In the past I tried to please everyone. It didn't lead anywhere.

For the record I will state that MA8 and AV8 are both human stats - and if you visit one of the threads discussing giving human catchers +1AV (i.e. MA8/AV8) nobody complains about that.

Good luck
Martin :D

I'm sure you would if they also had ST3 and Block... :roll:

Of course, perhaps Elf Blitzers should be MV9/AV8 - after all, they are both Elf stats. or Orc Blitzers should be MA6/ST4/AV9, as they're all Orc stats...

Well I may be getting this wrong but arnt the blitzers knights? The brettonian knights are living saints blessed with holy strength and power, so I can kinda except such a fantastic stat line with that in mind.

Last time I looked (couple of editions ago, admittedly), they were just normal humans (read ST3) wearing heavy armour and with lances - nothing "magical" about them - certainly not superhuman.

WOOP! WOOP! Two points to me :)

Though I have to say sigmar models look very nice when converted to blood bowl.

Hey Burgun - that just seems so counter-productive :orc:

@dschosch - I should note that my original Bret team 12(?) years ago had MA5 knights with a stack of skills.
Very military-style. And I got a lot of heat for the traditional knight angle.

@Darkson - you should have combined gobbo and troll stats to really make your point.
That being said, it sounds a lot less fantastic with a MA8+AV8 statline when it's a human blitzer with +1MA (without overshooting the max MA of the species).

Cheers
Martin
