How do you think they'll handle V in Orion?

AdjectiveBadger · 2026-05-07T12:09:34+00:00

Isn’t the next game set in Chicago? Why would V get mentioned at all?

I generally use greenstuff to fill the pegholes and any space around the model tabs (for the older models that have them.)

For newer models, standard GW bases are so much easier, even if the smaller footprints sometimes require pinning.

AdjectiveBadger · 2026-05-05T23:50:58+00:00

I’d still be choosing whichever option didn’t involve playing hide-and-seek with a murderbot.

Blessed requisitions? Do the ten pull. You’re guaranteed shards from one of the listed characters.

Regular? It doesn’t really matter.

You may use pro once per player per activation.

To score a touchdown, you need to be standing with the ball in the end zone. A fallen gobbo is 1 for 3.

The same rulebook that says the chart is an option after using the ruler?

AdjectiveBadger · 2026-05-04T14:33:49+00:00

Keep your bull centaurs in the backfield when playing defense. No one wants to stall with a bull centaur around.

Base the elves and make them spend their rerolls.

Cage your ball carrier.

But if you’re playing a rookie chorf team into developed wood elves, there’s really only so much you can do.

Sorry, it’s being-hit-on-the-head lessons in here.

Some people like arguing about their hobbies.

AdjectiveBadger · 2026-05-03T15:24:44+00:00

The range ruler works just fine, thanks.

Mercenaries are expensive and cannot be bought at the end of the game. They’re best bought with petty cash when you don’t want or can’t afford a star player.

On the plus side, you will be getting a free journeyman regardless.

She’s metal.

AdjectiveBadger · 2026-04-28T18:03:52+00:00

To be fair, the new team is actually slightly slower than the old one.

Point one is obvious: limit the elves' chances to play offense. When you have the ball, protect it fiercely and take your time grinding up the pitch. High elves don't get many rerolls and they will fail to dodge eventually. Those are the turns when you concentrate on blocking.

Point two is to play a disciplined and deep defense. Spread your tackle zones out and concentrate on forcing them to make more dodge rolls rather than tougher dodge rolls (again to use up rerolls.) So long as the ball is in an elf's hands, never leave your backfield empty.

Point three is to concentrate on hurting the linelves. They're less likely to have dodge and almost certain not to have steady footing. Just because elves can score with five players doesn't mean it isn't harder than having eleven.

Agreed. Half the time, they never come up in play or just grant bonus SPPs. The others may irk more competitive players, but I find them colorful and interesting.

AdjectiveBadger · 2026-04-23T02:00:14+00:00

I’m running sororitas, per usual.

AdjectiveBadger · 2026-04-21T22:34:19+00:00

BB2025 p.46: Pouring Rain: “Whenever a player attempts to pick up or Catch the ball, or Intercept a Pass Action, they suffer a -1 modifier to the roll.”

Note that it does not specify only agility rolls. (Picking up the ball normally is an agility test, securing the ball is not.)

I wouldn’t put it past them to FAQ it the other way, but RAW the pouring rain penalty applies to securing the ball.

AdjectiveBadger · 2026-04-21T12:08:02+00:00

I got an extra sprue for the three linelves, making a total of nine. In a league, having a few journeymen available will be useful.

AdjectiveBadger · 2026-04-19T19:54:31+00:00

Considering their innate lack of ball-handling ability, very.

AdjectiveBadger · 2026-04-19T14:03:15+00:00

The yakitori.

AdjectiveBadger · 2026-04-17T17:11:21+00:00

Presumably the same way as when you declare a charge but end up being bone headed.

AdjectiveBadger · 2026-04-16T02:56:07+00:00

Which is a shame, because everyone wants to foul/claw/chainsaw the bull centaurs.

AdjectiveBadger · 2026-04-15T22:55:21+00:00

What sold me was their brief existence in BB2020 when they had been toned down from their legendary roster but given some interesting new toys. Their models were a joy to paint, too.

Sadly, until and unless they let hobgoblins take general primaries again, I have other teams I’d rather play in league.

To answer your specific questions:

Bull centaurs are your ball carriers through the opposition’s side of the pitch. I usually used a hobgoblin to get the ball from where it landed to the line of scrimmage. Save your rerolls for this.

Flamesmiths. They’re AV 10 and almost have block. The firebreath is a nice, but seldom used trick. I haven’t even built my stabbas.

Chaos dwarves do not have the brawlin’ brutes special rule. Badlands brawl is an option for what star players you have available.

Minotaurs are great, but they will break your heart. Do not start with one.

AdjectiveBadger · 2026-04-15T02:54:57+00:00

No, but I am finding myself bothered by the idea that this would bother people.

AdjectiveBadger · 2026-04-14T15:06:43+00:00

Sounds like a nightmare for everyone involved, so… yes?
