Goblins at Chaos Cup

[natsirtm]

You are making me second guess Fungus in my goblin team for a goblin themed tournament. Probably a smart second guess though.
I did suggest bringing a bribe at least.

In a Goblin themed tourney, I may be inclined to take the risk with Fungus.

Good luck, let us know how it turns out!

[DixonCider]

what was the final roster that you took, how did it do?

[SunDevil]

1. Troll + Block (110k + 30k = 140k) (140k)
2. Troll + Block (110k + 30k = 140k) (280k)
3. Fungus the Loon (80k) (360k)
4. Bomber + Hail Mary Pass (40k + 30k = 70k) (430k)
5. Looney (40k) (470k)
6. Pogoer + Sure Feet (70k + 20k = 90k) (560k)
7. Goblin + Sure Hands (40k + 30K = 70k) (630k)
8. Goblin (40k) (670k)
9. Goblin + Leader (40k + 30K = 70k) (740k)
10. Goblin (40k) (780k)
11. Goblin (40k) (820k)
12. Goblin (40k) (860k)
13. Goblin (40k) (900k)
14. Goblin (40k) (940k)
15. Goblin (40k) (980k)
2 RRs (60k x2 = 120k) (1.1 million)

Thar's the roster I played at Chaos Cup. We finished 1 win, 1 tie, and 4 losses. Fungus flat out cost me one win over Norse, turning it into a loss and he turned what might have been a tie into a loss in another game. The tie was against Flings that scored a 1TTD in the rain witrh no RRs on turn 16.

[DixonCider]

the best kind of TD, winning in the rain

[natsirtm]

I went 1 win 4 losses. Win was vs. Goblins, First loss was only 0-1 to skaven and Last loss if I had been paying attention to turn tracker and saw he had 2 turns to my 1 I would have stalled out for the 1-1 tie, as it was he won 2-1, was happy with my performance in those 3 games.

Game 2 I put all 3 secret weapons on and then chose pickup ball > foul on his tackle orc blitzer and failed the pickup. Turn 3 and both bribes spent.
Game 4 my bomber scattered too close to LOS and KO'd fungus + another goblins, and knocked down a troll.
Not very happy with my performance there.

List was;
Troll - block
Troll - stand firm
bomber - hmp
fanatic - mighty blow
fungus
looney - dodge
pogoer - sure feet
8 goblins
3 rerolls
2 bribes
1ac
1cl

I mainly used Fungus to try and hit down players or have 3 dice. He didn't (and other fanatic either) go down once over 5 games from their own blocks/hits.

I had worked up almost the exact same roster you took to the Chaos Cup (Dodge on the Looney instead of Sure Feet on the Pogo), Chance. But now you've got me second-guessing it.

The Looney in a tourney is basically the same as a Looney in a league - they come with everything they need, no reason to waste resources and skills on them.

Ill be at Pow-Town as an alternate with Gobbos. Ive been flip-flopping over using the 2 BnC's or Scrappa. Settled on the BnC's cause I tend to do well with them and Ive rostered 3 bribes, Scrappa's DP with the bribes would be nice. If I get the green light to play Ill post a follow up...
