You can pick up a box at Element Games (UK), or at Not Just Gamin’ (US) and support Woehammer(*) or pop into your FLGS. Orcs are one of the original two teams and they can play in all types of drives in Blood Bowl but they are mostly about hitting and not getting injured, with AV (armour value) of 10+ for most of the models except Throwers.Īnd if things get desperate and you find yourself behind on the scoreboard then a throw to a Blitzer is always a possibility… but keep some team re-rolls available as nothing has catch. The scheme is very much inspired by the original Gouged Eye team but also by my available paints for my AoS armies and Blood Angels… so red all the way! It doesn’t show perfectly in the pictures, but I’ve used Khorne Red and Mephiston Red to give a little variety. The main bulk of the team come on two identical sprues, much like the Black Orcs. In contrast, the Ogre and Griff Oberwald, the Imperial Nobility’s Big Guy and Star Player, are made of fewer pieces than their Orc Counterparts. The team also comes with some coins that you can paint, but I’ve not got to them! The regular players for the Imperial Nobility are comprised of more pieces than those of the Black Orc team. They didn’t take very long to paint but are none-the-less lovely models and take undercoat and paint nicely. 6 Orc Linemen 2 Orc Throwers 2 Orc Blitzers 2 Big Un Blockers (painted with darker skin) The box set comes with 6 Orc Linemen, 2 Orc Throwers, 2 Orc Blitzers and 2 Big Un Blockers. And the first team was clear… Orcs! Blood Bowl Orc Team I would actually say that the new GW team boxes are the best things we’ve ever had for Blood Bowl conversions, even if they’re not perfect. Before the 2016 edition, the models were either monopose metals or monopose plastics. The major advantage here was they were already assembled so I could get straight to it. Blood Bowl has never had good figures for conversions. Has anyone seen any nice conversions It looks like they would make ideal Nobs. Fortunately I’ve got a lot of the new Blood Bowl teams which have been unpainted on a shelf since the re-release.

So, I took my own advice and decided for a change… but I wanted something with a definite end. Orc Team Players blockers, orc 13 Comments. They are key to a successful Orc team, find out why and how to develop them. This is probably because I’ve not painted tanks in a long time! Black Orc Blockers are one of the best value blockers in the game. So any finesse style team with high movement can out run them if you mess up your LOS setup.I’ve been struggling a bit recently to complete my Age of Darkness boxset having done all the troops I now have the Dreadnought and Spartan on the painting table, but just can’t seem to make progress. And if you want to build a finesse playstyle with Orcs, you need to use some of the squishiest players that can be currently fielded.īoth teams have their pros and their cons. They have a throwa, but nobody with Catch by default. Orcs have the advantage of positionals that make a bashing game easier. Catcher is quick with +1 MA in addition to the general 1 MA Humans have over Orks. Ogre and Troll are functionally the same, except Troll is cheaper and Ogre has a useless +1 AG Goblin vs Catcher. By selecting shield-arms and archer-arms from High Elves and Wood Elves plastic sprues I was able to give the miniatures a Blood Bowl look and feel. Admittedly Orc players are generally 1 MA slower. Thus they can play a bashing game or a finesse game. Orcs in general have better armor and similar cost. Blood Bowl Orc Wudugast ConvertOrDie (3). Humans have the advantage of easy access to positionals that cover all playstyles. Lastly, what weve all been waiting for, the whole team ready to give any opposing players a kicking. Two assists gives the human the advantage. But even one human assist will make it an even block. In one on one block, Black Orcs can 2d block any human (3d a catcher I think). Thus it's not the instant advantage you might think. I'd have to double check, but I think catchers also have a bit higher Armor Value.īlack orcs start with ST 4, which is good. While it's true that goblins also have 2 ST and can ignore tackle zones for dodging difficulty, Stunty also makes them go SQUISH easier. Goblin vs Catcher, well as you mentioned the Catcher is faster and start with Catch. In addition, while both have Throw Teammate (not that this comes up on a human team), trolls have a tendency to eat the goblin they are trying to throw. Otherwise it's a 50/50 chance of them standing there and drooling. Trolls will fail Really Stupid 1 in 6 times, if there's a "not stupid" player from their team right next to them at the time of the roll. Ogres are in general the better of the two big guys.
