From the frozen lands of the north .... KISLEV

Post by KISLEV RUNNER »

This concept was born after a constructive exchange of ideas with my fellow forum Porz

0-16 Lineman 50.000 6 3 3 8 - G/SAP
0-4 Blocker 80.000 5 3 3 8 wrestle, stand firm - GS/AP
0-2 Runner 90.000 7 3 3 7 sure hands, sure feet GA/SAP
0-2 Blitzer 70.000 6 3 3 8 block GS/AP
0-1 Bear 110.000 5 5 1 8 wild animal, no hands, claw, loner S/GFPA
0-8 Re-roll: 60.000
Apothecary e Inducements: like Humans
Star Player: Humans

what's think about it?

I like it, one of the most balanced lists I have seen :)

I would drop the strength on the runner to 2, might lose the standfirm on the blockers and put the bear up to 140,000 and give him thick skull.


The bear does seem like a uber snow troll depending on how you view frenzy and the team build. But all said this looks very playable.

Oh and lose no hands. The bear would have hands and its a bit redundent with AG1.

I say keep no hands on the bear (It's running around on all 4's paw swiping/biting people and bears don't have opposable thumbs, hence no hands!!) Besides, being AG 1 never stopped my snow troll from scoring (either in league play, or tournament!!)

I don't see why its on all fours, bears fight stood up. Plus no other big guy has no hands. Apposable thumbs is silly too as the krox/slann/troll e.t.c probably don't have apposable thumbs and they can still carry the ball.

Stand firm is a powerful ability, I would boost the cost of the blocker to 90000, or replace it with another ability. I found this website to be helpfully, if out dated

I don't think it's that outdated. Very few teams don't match the point cost given, and those that don't match it, are usually not off by much. Dwarfs are an exception to it all.

I like the team as priced.

No hands is debatable, but I would probably remove it. after all secret weapons had it removed and you don't want the dumb animal to be compared to Lucky Luc!

good effort mate!

Good design IMHO. 7 players with Strength access is perhaps a bit too much but that's perhaps what a Human team would look like if it was redesigned from scratch today. The main concern for me would be the presence of 6 Block/Wrestle players in a rookie team.

While I think the balance of the team is pretty good, I think that a "modern" BB Blitzer should rather start with Wrestle than Block. And a supporting player such as a Blocker should have Block instead.

Have you looked at the figures/pics? Opposable thumbs one and all.

Doesn't mean they are apposable, they could be like our pinky fingers. The slann models I remember have 4 webbed fingers.

Fine you win, they have thumbs. Still, the bear should count as having hands. Some people have giant crab claws but can still carry the ball as well as anyone else.
