New Pestilent Vermin Team

Post by Khar-peth »

bought the new Skaven race pack ; it features an inducement Warlock Engineer (120k for a lightning bolt), 4 match events, a Star Buboe Festerspit and a team Pestilent Vermin.
The teams seems nice and balanced : no AG4, 0-2 8337 assassins, 0-4 bombardiers , 0-2 blockers 6338 block horns, linemen are 6337 Disturbing Presence.
Cant wait to try it in our local league.

On the other hand Buboe Festerspit at 6549 Disturbing Presence Frenzy Horns Prehensile Tail Mighty Blow Loner Regeneration seems way underpiced (350k).

I'm not a big Goblin player, so never encountered more than one Bombardier before - can you bomb with all of them in one turn?

MBBL2 online PBeM league used to have the ability to get a team with bomb throwers that get passing skills.

There is nothing like lobbing 4 Hail Mary bombs into your opponents side of the pitch to start a drive. Heck of a lot of fun even if you do not win.

Pestilent Rats actually has some balance to it, but the Slayer team is so god damn awful, Dragon Slayers immediately become the best positional player in BB ST4+Block, just thankfully no frenzy.

Looking at the picture, they have 3 strength.

Yes, the Dragon Slayer is great, but you only get two and it comes at a huge price tag. Compare to Chaos Warrior with same statline. 70k to get 5 skills and lose M access. Three of those skills are marginal at best. Juggernaut with Block, Dauntless with ST 4, and Thick Skull. How many Chaos Warriors have you ever seen with those three skills? Not to mention the team gets passing skills on AG 2 players.

Neither team is overpowered and underpowered doesn't bother me. I thought one of the original ideas with the alternate teams was to have more ways to use the same figures. These teams don't really do that. If that is not a goal, they seem fine.
