I also had 3x Rerolls, 2x Cheerleaders and 1x Assistant Coach too. I had a Guard Troll, 2x Block and 2x Guard Black Orcs, and one stacked Blitzer with Tackle/Mighty Blow to be a threat to those lightly armoured agile teams. RosterĪs casualties of any kind counted, I decided a Sneaky Git Goblin was the way to go. We had 1.2 million to spend, and either 8 primary or 5 primary and 2 secondary skills. Sure, the 'Animosity' rule makes them a little unreliable on occasion, but the extra movement on the Big 'Uns (sorry - I'm going to have to call them Black Orcs - I can't cope with the new names!) makes them so much better. They have the movement to counter agility teams and the armour and strength to go up against bashy teams. Again, this tournament was held at Tabletop Republic in High Wycombe on the 20th / 21st August 2022 - Yes, a two day tournament! I dug out the Orcs because I wanted an all round team that could square up against most opposition. This report brings me up to date (finally!) on my tournament write ups. I know I've got a Hungry Troll Broken Jaw Pirates team and the "new" GW rather spikey Orc team that came in the boxed set still to paint, but these 3rd edition models were just special in their own right. Perhaps it was the paint job, combined with the attempt to get to 24 races badge, so they always were at the back of the line. I don't really get why I didn't field them more. It was enough to not feel thoroughly ashamed to field them, but I'm not showing a team photo here yet as there is still a lot of work to do on them! A thorough application of static grass, a wash of Nuln Oil and some yellow highlights and suddenly they looked like a team. So, the day before the tournament I sorted out their bases, colour coded the base rims for the Blitzers (red), Black Orcs (ok, they are Big 'Uns now) (appropriately - dark green), Lineorcs (grey) and the Thrower (white). They hurt the eyes - Something had to be done. The bases has scrawled numbers on, the skin was all bright green, and they were in red/yellow/black Watford colours. I had painted them, and I remember being quite pleased with them at the time. I thought it was high time I dug the old 3rd edition metal models from the back of the cupboard. I did alright with them, getting 3/1/2 in my 3rd ever NAF tournament. Back in 2012 at the STABB Cup II in St Albans. They've appeared in more than a few boxed sets as the starter team, and the slightly cockney sounding "Right, Let's get'em ladz!" green skins have appealed to more than a few coaches.įor some reason, I have only coached them at one table top tournament. Anyone with any history in Blood Bowl will know that Orcs have always been the "go to" starter team for new comers to the came.
