Returning BB player and power-gamer, apparently
Hi. BB has always been my favourite game although i've dipped in and out over the years as i enjoy my historical gaming too.
2013 may be a BB year
I tend to play a team a year but looking at my teams it seems that i'm a power-gamer [not that i've won anything significant]
Dwarfs, Zons, Undead i've done well with in the past - naturally. Its just a question of turning up isn't it
Gobbos i used last time out and i have to say i really enjoyed. The Club's Wall of Shame if i beat anyone with the greenskins was a hoot
I also have Elves/DEs, Norse, Skaven, CDs, Necros, Humans [some teams double up of course]
I'm working on a Pact team although i could also be tempted to give Underworld a try. I always fancied doing an Orc team but never got round to it
So go on, what should i use and why?
"The player formerly known as The Dazzler" (i forgot my password)
PS i'm based in Derby; is there still a regular BB scene in Burton-onTrent?

If i could get enough of the GW BB Ogres on the cheap i might do that.
I quite fancy doing Vamps at some point with the old Strigoi models
I hear that the new Khorne team is very popular these days ... [lights blue touch-paper and stands back with fingers in ears]

Re: Returning BB player and power-gamer, apparently
there are a lot of really cool trolls/ogres on reapers site. My issue is without breaking the bank on snotlings I can't find a suitable figure for the little figures

Re: Returning BB player and power-gamer, apparently
Cheers, i'll have a look at that.
First game back this evening.
I'm using CDs v Orcs. A practice game for the Orc player who is going to the DobbyBowl [sadly i can't make it]
6 CDs
2 BCs
1 Mino
3 Hobs
Apoth
2 RR [plus 10 GPS] - i did think about losing a couple of the Hobs/Apoth and having a 3rd RR but decided on more players particularly against Orcs [i'm expecting the Troll, 4 x BOs and 4 x Blitzers etc with more Block than you can shake a stick at ...]
Mino/Block [double], CD/Guard, 1st BC/Block, 2nd BC BT&SH, Hob/SH

I poxed a 2v1 win. Scored in turn 1 of the game, thanks to a Blitz and our drawing a GRunner Dobby. Orcs came back with a good score again to his GRunner via a throw to a cheeky Gobbo and a handoff. I narrowly missed scoring at the end of the half when i fumbled with the GR open
Ground out a more typical 2nd half CD score. Could have camped all day on the sideline /EZ but i scored in turn 5 to make a game of it. Shut him out on his drive thanks to his Troll going Really Stupid on an all-important Blitz. Mind you, my Mino did something similar on his score.
Mino died in the 2nd half and the Apoth did didly squat! Mind you, it took 4 of his players
Not played for a good couple of years so very nice to get a game in.
Oh, and i bought an Ogre team incl Snots for £4 from the spares box. 6 of the WFB/GW Ogres all assembled and based (the weapons have even been snipped) and 10 well painted Snots which are mutlti-based and just need seperating. Result
