Slann Res tourney 1.2mil

Post by van der vaart »

Hey there!
So Ive entered into my first ever tournament in late september (Bushranger Bowl). Im looking at taking the Slann and was after some help with lists! First a little background....
Resurrection style tournament with Swiss scoring system.

1.2M Team Rosters. Maximum of 5 skills can be purchased. No doubles or stat increases. Maximum one skill per player.
Star Players unable to be given skills.

All inducements allowed except for special play cards.

All players will receive a free miniature for attending. Remaining minis will be available to purchase on the weekend.

Free Miniature is "Nedd Killy"

Nedd will be a free extra player for use in the tournament for any person who brings either a human team or a stunty team. This means he doesn't count towards your 1.2M team roster.

Other teams may include Nedd in their team for 50k.

Nedd's stats - ST 3, MA 3, AG 1, AV 10 - Loner, Standfirm, Secret Weapon, Hail Mary Pass.

Now my first roster was as follows:
1x catcher with sure hands
1x catcher with catch
2x catchers
1x blitzer with guard
1x blitzer with tackle
1x linefrog with wrestle
4x linefrogs
Nedd Killy
4x re-rolls
1x fan factor (cause i had 10k left)

I got a game in with that one against an orc team and lost 2-1. Granted the dice shafted me a little bit i think that i also discovered some things i dont like about the list. The tackle blitzer is probably wasted, as he is far too situational for his price. Against a dodgy team i could see him causing a little bit of havoc but he would also be a bit of a lone ranger against them. I also forgot that Nedd had secret weapon, so that was a fail seeings as he was meant to be a cheap guy to stand up there and get punched :oops:

I also conjured up another two lists that i havent play tested yet, but would like some opinions on :)

4x catchers, 1 with sure hands, 1 with dodge
1x blitzer with block
7 linefrogs, 2 with wrestle
5 re-rolls

4x catchers, 1 with sure hands, 1 with dodge
1x blitzer with guard
7 linefrogs, 1 with wrestle, 1 with kick
5 re-rolls

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Just kinda skimmed this because I'm not very familiar with slann but in res tournys I allways find a break tackle krox a massive pain in the butt. I would really reccomend it. Oh and that special character sucks, hard, really really hard. Super hard. Massivly massivly hard. Don't take him. Even if he was free he's not worth the space on pitch.

In short. I dislike that special player. Break tackle krox FTW!

I was thinking a Krox but couldnt really fit him in a list because he was so expensive...i suppose i could play without a blitzer and with a Krox. Thoughts?

Oh and as for Nedd his rules arent that great in game I agree. But in terms of theme he is awesome. The sketch of his mini also looks very cool. I forgot that some people may not be familar with the bushranger stories :D

Heard of Ned Kelly but I agree that for 50k he's a waste.

Krox is a good idea, very handy.

I've found that Kick-off return is almost essential on a catcher the way I play them. Especially when my opponent has a player with kick. So I'd take that instead of sure hands.
