#Blood bowl 2 orc skills for goblin torrent#

With the exception of the Griff model which I think is a great addition to the legacy of his models, I wasn’t too thrilled with the feathery aesthetics of the human models. What a day! If there was ever a time that I regretted growing up and having to stay at work all day instead of browsing the inter-webs for Blood Bowl gems, this week has been rough! Yesterday I was pouring over sportsmen in pantaloons and then today we get hit with brutal, yet cunning, black orcs! The imperial team did not stir much in the way of creativity for me. Your other option would be to drop a black orc for another reroll, which would probably be the smarter thing to do.Įach iteration of this guy gets scarier and scarier This is a 12-player roster so you’ve got a spare goblin on the bench. You could form a pretty effective cage with the black orcs around a ball-carrying bruiser goblins, but it’s always nice to have that hail mary option to chuck a goblin down the field to score in one turn. I have enjoyed playing lizardmen in the past, so I could see myself giving the black orcs team a chance, especially because I think the models are pretty good.Īgain, getting the troll in there from the start to gain SPP and because I thinking throwing goblins down field will be a part of your offensive strategy. Other bash teams have appealed to me more. To be totally honest, in my years playing Blood Bowl I’ve never actually played as an orc team. Perhaps this will keep them in the game a bit longer than your average gobbo.

Now that’s what I call training! The goblins are Bruiser Goblins which means they get Thick Skull. I’m not sure what makes him “trained” as it’s the same model that exists already for orc and goblin teams, but this one can projectile vomit. I dunno, I guess you could always reroll and get a Skull result instead. Per the ogre Spike! Journal Brawler allows the team to reroll a Both Down dice result once per turn. If it’s the same as the special rule for the Fire Mountain Gut Busters ogre team, then it’s going to be very good. You don’t see a lot of Grab in the game except on experienced big guys and Brawler is a new skill.

The black orcs though have got some skills, Brawler and Grab. The black orcs aren’t as fast as sauruses, but the black orcs are a tad more agile. You’ve got stunty players and access to up to six ST4 players. And it looks like an orky Lizardmen team at second glance too. At first glance, this looks a lot like an orky Lizardmen team. The goblins are great too! I really like the guy with the bear trap face mask. I like the big tusks coming off their face masks. Those black orcs look brutal! They have a physicality to them that makes them menacing and threatening.

This is the first we’ve seen, so let’s talk about those minis first. Another reason to place them on the Imperial team, they could have been sculpted to match from the get go. Also, it’s going to be tough to find halflings that match the look of the BB16 humans. Instead they’re placed on a team that they’ve never been a part of, and a team that is appearing less and less as a team from the Empire, but a ‘pro’ team of sorts. Halflings make tons of sense on the official team of the Empire, this Imperial team. Heck, there’s even a halfling Elector count. After all, halflings are members of the human nation Empire in the Old World, and BB is sort of a parallel Old World…with seemingly even closer ties now. My thoughts on the Imperial team are more…why don’t they have the halfings?! I’ve wanted to see halflings on the human team roster ever since the first goblin suited up for an orc team. I wish Jeff had never made this connection! Oh, as we touched on Dreadball comparisons in our Second Season Reaction post, I can’t help but point out how close the make-up of this Black Orc team resembles DB’s Orx team. However, I’m sure Games Workshop is going to offer these teams independently from the core box. So, now I’m interested in the rulebook and one of the two teams. Though this team has a bit more possibilities in the early season as these ST4 black orcs start with skills whereas the Saurus (from previous editions) don’t. Six ST4 players, a big guy, and the rest stunties.

I was considering getting a Lizardmen team in the near future, but I really enjoy painting orcs, and this roster has a lot of similarities to the lizards. Now that the two box team rosters have been leaked…I find myself pretty excited for the Black Orc team and maybe reconsidering to a purchase. Today we are going to look at the two new rosters released in the new box set and what our gut reactions are. After being floored by the news of a new box set release, we’ve been bombarded with information faster than our collective fingers can type.

The volume of new Blood Bowl material releases has gone from deathly silence to a roar of new information in a torrent of official and unofficial leaks.
