BLOOD BOWL ORC PAINTED TEAMS UPGRADE

That could also have been another Lineman but the Apothecary could potentially save one of the more expensive players instead.Ī variation on this would be to leave out the Apothecary at the start, spend 15k to upgrade a Lineman to a Thrower. After filling up with Linemen to get to the required eleven players you have exactly enough left to get an Apothecary. To start with all the Blitzers and Big Uns you are going to have to start with two rerolls. Also you do have three rerolls so using one early isn’t as bad compared to teams that only have two. They don’t have Sure Hands but you can always just try the pick up again the following turn if you are likely to get a safe scatter. They also don’t have Animosity to deal with should you want to hand it off to a team mate to ultimately score with. If they are sitting safely behind the rest of your team their low strength shouldn’t really matter. To make the Budget stretch that bit further you have to give up on starting with a Thrower and do what no true Orc would do and take a Goblin.Ī Goblin isn’t a terrible substitute for the Thrower, they can move a bit quicker and come with Dodge. It is possible to fit in all the Blitzers and Big Uns, along with three rerolls. It’s much easier to get star player points on a Blitzer. As explained above, the slow development of the Big Uns means that I would rather start with them.

You will either have to give up a Big Un or a Blitzer to free up enough funds. 3 Reroll Orcs QuantityĪgain the price increase on the Big Uns requires a sacrifice to start with there rerolls. As the Thrower will often be used to carry the ball it’s more important that he gets Block so I wouldn’t count on getting Leader. Purchase sequence would probably be Apothecary, then the Blitzer and then save up for an extra reroll. That could lead to going through your rerolls, or getting more turnovers than before when you had that extra Blitzer. You do only have two team rerolls and are starting with one less player with Block. However the Big Uns and the Troll can be really slow to develop, so it benefits them to have them from the start. The Blitzers are your best players so it’s disappointing to not start with one of them. The price rises on the Big Un Blockers means you have to sacrifice one of the starting Blitzers if you want to create the team with all the highest strength players. QTYĪnimosity (all team-mates), Pass, Sure HandsĪlways Hungry, Loner (4+), Mighty Blow (+1), Projectile Vomit, Really Stupid, Regeneration, Throw Team Mate Animosity can be a pain but it shouldn’t cause that many problems. It also meant that I had that extra Blitzer free on the outside of the cage, rather than an Orc Lineman. I personally never had much a problem with the slower movement of a Thrower as a standard game plan meant slow advancement of the ball anyway. Even though the Thrower has been made a bit cheaper which should make them more desirable, the fact they have Animosity will mean they refuse to hand off, or pass the ball on a D6 roll of a 1. The reason being is that they are slower than Blitzers and coaches always want to get star player points on the Blitzers as well. Orc Throwers can often be shunned players by some Orc coaches. However as both of those players have Animosity against all their team mates, it can on occasion complicate matter and it’s also harder to try and feed star player points to specific players. As you usually use the Thrower or Blitzers to do the ball carrying and keeping the ball on them until they score it shouldn’t be a huge factor. The Troll has also had a small price increase.Īnother change to Orc teams is that most of the players now have Animosity. The Black Orcs have been renamed as Big Un Blockers, gained an extra square of movement and had a price increase. The Throwers have had a slight price reduction.

Orc teams have always had relatively affordable players, though they have undergone some tweaks in Blood Bowl Second Season.
