My thoughts:

- Access to a big guy like a Krox would be interesting.

- No additional positional players needed

- Unicorns are interesting flavour but they would have to be a _lot_ worse than Lucky Luc. We found him to be more than a little broken. 8 3 3 8, sprint, sure feet, horn would be about right.

I think the Unicorn should definitely keep skittish or maybe change that to uncontrollable from Galaks league rules. Effective on a 1 or a 2 though

I must admit, I know little regarding WHFB, but I think a treeman would fit, especially if there were some kind to palm tree mini. Given their proximity to Lustria, a Krox could work as well.

NO BL***Y UNICORNS.
Nothing that can't hold the ball on the pitch (except squigs because they're funny).

Interestingly, the idea of a semi-official Dragon Ogre on the pitch is being entertained at the moment!

As to the Big Guy for the amazons, you really need to think about minis. If there isn't a mini available for it, then the likelihood for it to be official as as likely as the chance of them making one for it (slim at best, unless it's really really cool).

I could live with Dragon ogre players - problem being that they're Chaotic and Chaos already has access to 5 Big guys as well as the Chaos Warriors.

Now, if someone said they wanted to ues one with Chaos Warrior stats or something similar I could live with it...just as if an Undead coach said he wanted to use a Frank N'Stein fig as a Mummy or something similar...but Chaos really doesn't need yet another Big Guy option.

Babs: by looking GW WHB minis, it seems easy to convert dragon ogres... there are two with a one-handed weapon (a sword for one, an axe for the other). The only problem I could see is WHB Dragon ogres seem very big, compared to bull centaur, for example...

Thadrin: you've misunderstood me. I don't speak about a general big guy for chaos team (I'm completely agree with you: there are sooooo many chaotic big guys !), but only for chaos halflings, which can be found on Galak's website... instead of Yum (even if this one is very powerful, considered to 2K1 rules) 2 Dragon Ogres > 1 Yum ... But it's just a suggestion

I have converted a Dragon Orge for Blood Bowl. It was EXTREMELY easy. Just cut the sword hand off the Dragon Orge and then glue on the plastic Orc Thrower's hand with the ball. It looks good and if you really put some time into it, you could probably pose the arm on a action pose (instead of just holding onto the ball.)
Sucks that there is no real place for them in BB, they would be frickin' awesome to field. But, Chaos does have a lot of Big Guys already. If I knew more history or background on them then maybe I could figure out another team they could play for.But, otherwise, I'm S.O.L.

It's normal for a chaos team to play beardie. :lol:
And you could limit the total of big guys for a chaos at 4 with a large choice of them (with 4 selection of big guys ... plus daemons if you really want them).

I still don't understand what you're talking about... 4 big guys ? Maybe you want to talk about diversity (minotaur, ogre, troll, ... don't remember exactly), but not number on a roster ???

I don't have a problem with offering a Dragon Ogre as a choice to the Chaos Team for their ONE!!!! Big Guy that they are allowed under the BB2k1 rules.

If you want my opinion using only current allowed traits:

Dragon Ogre:
6/5/2/9
Mighty Blow, Thick Skull, Sprint, Sure Feet
Wild Animal, Bonehead
130k

Caveat the player that Bonehead rolls are always made before any action including the required block from WA.
