If you are in a Dodge heavy league for example, you will want Tackle at some point even though a lot of your players already have it.
When taking skills on them it pays to pay attention to the opponents you are likely to take. This frees up some of that responsibility from your Blitzers who may be doing some ball handling. With their low agility, Troll Slayers aren’t likely to be dodging around and handling the ball all that much, so you can concentrate on building them to hurt the other team. When doing this against stronger players as well, failing Dauntless can leave you doing a block at a disadvantage, it pays to cover this by having assists to provide a one die block if you fail. Frenzy and Dauntless can also lead to trouble, you have to be careful that your second Frenzy hit is in your favour as much as the first, or at least not to the opposing teams favour. This is tempered somewhat by the fact their AG3 team mates will also draw some attention in order to hinder the ball handling ability of your team. You will find they tend to get picked on a fair amount if there is a choice of players for the opposition to hit. This alone makes them a target for the opponents to hit and their damage causing abilities makes this even more desirable for the opposing team. The downsides to them though is that they have average AV8 compared to AV9 like most of their team mates. This means they tend to do a lot of the hitting on the team and help get numerical advantage to help negate the slowness of the team. Their Frenzy ability also gives them a higher success rate of knocking players over and can make space to advance a cage, or push opposing players into the crowd. They also have the benefit over the stronger players because they start with Block like most other Dwarfs. They’re split into two decks – the Benefits of Training and the Dirty Tricks decks – each featuring a wide variety of extra rules that make your games of Blood Bowl that little bit more unpredictable.For a bashing team that has no ST4 or 5 players like the other teams, Dwarf Troll Slayers make up for this somewhat with their Dauntless ability to stand toe to toe with stronger players. The best way to represent these happenings is with Special Play cards, and this set of 26 Team Titans cards, usable by any and all teams adds a whole load of extra anarchy. Blood Bowl Team Titans Special Play Card Pack $15Ī ton of weird, wonderful and bizarre events can and will happen on and off the pitch during games of Blood Bowl.

Blood Bowl Troll $25ĭo you want to add a fearsome and slightly absurd Troll to your Orcish Blood Bowl team? Or maybe a Goblin team? You’ve come to the right place. This box contains 12 ‘orrible plastic Orc Blood Bowl players – 2 blitzers, 2 throwers, 2 Black Orc blockers and 6 linemen. We’ll pull yore hair and pinch yore thigh… The Troll is also oozing with details – maybe you’ve see it already but if you haven’t the back of the model is really cool and gives me hope for the future of 1) AoS Trolls and 2) a Goblin team! It looks crazy at first glance but when you get it put together and you see how well everything fits…it’s pretty impressive. Games Workshop – I see what you did there.Īside from the pose, I actually really like way this model fits together.
Having grown-up playing both sports, the joke is not lost on me…It’s almost like his pose is trolling football players with a baseball pose. I get a kick out of the pose because he’s tossing a Goblin like a baseball pitcher and not exactly like a quarterback. Next up, the Troll is a great model to add to the game. And they are great models! I wasn’t an orc player before this edition of Blood Bowl but I have pushed my greenskins around the pitch and I happen to like their play style! Other than that, I couldn’t really tell a difference and I did actually assemble those awesome Orcs. Let’s start with the easy stuff, the Orc Team box aka The Gouged Eye, is exactly the same as the Orcs from the starter box with one minor difference – they are in grey plastic. And don’t for get those new cards either… The Tabletop Spotlight is focusing on the new Orcs Team as well as the Troll model – all are perfect additions to your Blood Bowl experience.
