Chaos Cup 2014 - Orcs
Posted: Sun Jul 06, 2014 6:03 pm
I'm about to pre-register for my first ever tournament and I'm super amped! Barring unforseen circumstances, I will be attending Chaos Cup 2014.
Step 1 was to choose a team to play with. This was rather a short list of teams to choose from. I play almost all of my Blood Bowl on FUMBBL and have ever only played half a dozen matches table top. Therefore I only have purcashed 3 teams to this point and only 1.5 of those are painted. I own fully painted Humans, half painted Orcs, and unpainted dwarfs. In the end I chose the Orcs for 2 reasons; 1) My results are usually significantly better with them then humans and 2) It will force me to finish painting them (they're currently about 3/4 painted...so progress )
Step 2 is to prepare the roster. I want to do this in the next few days because early pre-registration gets you the opportunity for extra cool swag. Being the first ever tournament I want to make sure I get my grubby little mits on as much swag as possible so that I can have it as souvenirs of my trip.
This is where I would like your feedback. Below is the roster I've assembled that I feel will give me the best balance for play. I tend to bash more then ball and I try to hold to the old 2-1 grind match style with Orcs. I can take 150k of skills and only take a max of 4 on any given skill.
Troll - guard - 130k
BOB - guard - 100k
BOB - guard - 100k
BOB - guard - 100k
Blitzer - frenzy - 100k
Blitzer - tackle - 100k
Blitzer - tackle - 100k
Blitzer - 80k
Thrower - 70k
Lineman - 50k
Lineman - 50k
Gobbo - 40k
2 rerolls - 120k
Total = 1,140k (out of 1,150k max)
I still have a few thoughts about this myself. 1) I'm 10k shy on skills and wonder if block would be better on the troll. 2) I wonder if turning the troll and gobbo in for another BOB and re-roll would be a wiser option. 3) I wonder if Mighty Blow might be better on a couple of BOBs.
I appreciate and look forward to your feedback.
