![]() With a lowly MA of 4 he’s not going to be running players down either. Sure you are pretty much guaranteed to be getting two dice and picking the one you want even on defensive blocks but most teams will just try to dodge out the way and ignore his tackle zone. While Black Orcs are more likely to hurt their opponent the fact you are missing the Block skill means that you have to settle for push backs when you could get knockdowns and I find this really limits their usefulness when put against the Blitzers. ![]() While the Blorcs have better Strength they are slower and have no Skills to start with. They are the most expensive players outside of Trolls and are the same price as Black Orcs. In fact, in a league or self-created team you can take up to 4 Blitzers and these would be the first things that I include in a team. If you can get the ball in their hands them can stomp up the field (this is what got me my touchdown last night). You’re not that fast as Orcs although Blitzers are good ball carriers, they have a MA of 6 so are your fastest players and the addition of the Block skill also makes them tough to knock down. In contrast I can almost guarantee at least one stunned result when I block or foul the Humans (my dice seem less cursed too) which takes them out of the game for at least two turns. In two games I have only had one Lineman get knocked to the dugout through injury and only one Stunned Orc beyond that. What will keep you going is that armour, having an average of AV8 across the team means that it will take a roll of 9 or more to get an injury roll and as any of you know, that is greater than the average. Normally Orcs work because they are cheap and you get more of them than your enemy does of his own troops, unfortunately this doesn’t carry over to Blood Bowl as each team can have a max of 11 players on the field at any one time. When you can set up overlapping tackle zones and block assists then they become really good. In general the Orc lineup isn’t the fastest nor the most agile, however, they have an average strength and above average armour. ![]() If we do get around to running a league the Orcs are what we will see Servitob fielding. We used the teams that came with the starter set and at the end of the half Servitob was left with a dugout full of knocked out linemen and blitzers while I had a knocked out thrower, a sent off for fouling Black Orc and a touchdown.Īfter having spent two weeks now playing with the Orcs I thought I’d offer my insights into the team. Once again it was left to Servitob and I to throw down and with the flip of a cardboard token I ended up with the Orcs again, although, in a change from last week, I’d also be kicking off. We only managed to get in one half’s play due to spending an hour bashing the new Wardex for 40k despite the fact that none of us have seen it yet. For the second week in a row our popular Wednesday Night Gaming slot resounded to the cheers and jeers of Blood Bowl.
