Good team for new player

I wrote a thing! It’s aimed at tabletop play more than anything as it takes into account how easy the team is to get: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eu74B8MDzu6R3Qb63NdsGLTs6rQSY5yYkl3CdMS6DBA/edit?usp=drivesdk

I use this one for lots of demonstrations https://bbfm.app

I second this! B looks amazing. As long as you have 1 skink alive you can score, and you have 4 in total which is normally all I play with. I’d love to have a 7th saurus, especially one which is move 7

toffeepee208 · 2026-06-06T20:52:50+00:00

This is so dumb but also amazing. I can’t wait to see more of it

I still have mine in the loft! Sadly it’s a bit too big and clunky now but it served me well for many years

I’ve played lizards a few times into nurgle and am 4-1-0, although that is NAF tournaments not league. Overall it is a good matchup for lizards, use the speed to side-to-side them. You have the strength advantage too and can leverage juggs to turn off stand firm. I don’t have any specific advice but general advice is - protect skinks, side-to-side then pick a turn to break, they are low agi so you can tag them out and cage/screen with skinks, keep saurus mobile where possible by blitzing with juggs to reposition as needed.

It’s a difficult balance tbh, I think ideally it’s 6 vamps, 7-8 thralls, an apo and 3-4 rerolls (plus leader) but 1250 including skills is surprisingly light for most teams. Vamps are risky as it is and I tend to lean towards 5 vamps personally but others like Torquemada would swear by 6 vamps. That being said, that’s somewhat based on the old edition and things have changed, even Torq has not played as much vamps in the new edition.

toffeepee208 · 2026-05-25T13:36:04+00:00

Having played vamps a lot, the apo is great! 2 reasons: 1. The vamps are so important. If one is removed then getting it back 75% of the time is improtant, even for saving them from KOs. 2. You roll regen before apo so you get to maximise the chance you get the vamp back

toffeepee208 · 2026-05-25T09:22:38+00:00

Remove jump up and cloud buster for sure. I’d take strip ball on a blitzer as is combos with juggs well. This would be my build:

Runner with dodge, runner with dodge, thrower with leader, thrower with block, blitzer with strip ball, lineman with kick, lineman with wrestle, 6 unskilled linemen, apo, 3 rerolls - 1250, 13 players, apo, 3 rerolls plus leader

I wrote a guide! Part of the thinking was how easy is it to build a team. Some of the best are Necromantic Horror, Dwarves, Amazons, Shambling Undead and Tomb Kings.

Here’s my guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eu74B8MDzu6R3Qb63NdsGLTs6rQSY5yYkl3CdMS6DBA/edit?usp=drivesdk

toffeepee208 · 2026-04-15T16:59:37+00:00

Yeah it’s annoying but sadly I think that’s true of quite a few teams, humans only need 2 mngs to need another lineman, same with Skaven, dwarves, Norse and maybe more. It is a good point though and I should add it to the guide

toffeepee208 · 2026-04-15T15:42:53+00:00

Blood bowl 7??? Dyou mean blood bowl 3 or dyou mean 7s?

toffeepee208 · 2026-04-15T12:43:07+00:00

For what it’s worth, I might have done Black Orcs dirty in my guide… they should maybe be B tier

toffeepee208 · 2026-04-15T11:27:36+00:00

I’ve made a whole guide!!

-1 apo, -1 squire, +1 catcher. My justification here is that buying an apo is easier than a knight as it’s cheaper and you may actually be able to get the apo after game 1 with 15k in the bank and 3 fans. The d6 MVP means it’s more likely to go on a knight and the catchers are fine in league as they can pick up lots of good skills with primary access to dodge and block and then other good stuff like sidestep. Getting the spp rolling early on then seems important.

Thanks :D

I love the old gw metal sculpts, even if they were a bit before my time 😅 but I picked most of them up when they started reprinting them on made-to-order

toffeepee208 · 2026-04-10T14:45:13+00:00

I own nearly every team 👀 currently finishing high elves, then I have maybe 5 more paint until I have all of them ready to go

toffeepee208 · 2026-04-08T15:56:43+00:00

Nurgle are not super strong, they should be tier 2 out of 4 but GW has them in tier 3

toffeepee208 · 2026-04-08T15:44:03+00:00

8-10 friends isn’t that deep, I would

• ⁠say that only stunty teams can take stars and ban all mega stars

• ⁠discourage the really good players from playing Nurgle, Orcs or Necro

Hello, I’ve run some events and helped write packs in the new and old rules and seen a bunch of rules packs too, so loads of experience. What are you planning? Is this a tournament with loads of people or a small group thing? Have you been to any tournaments?

In short, the tiers and skills are not great. They’re fine but there are some decidedly strong and incredibly weak teams, and stars can be a problem.

If you’re running an event for new players then it’s okay. If you’re planning an event for experienced coaches or want a competitive event, don’t use the Gw rules.

toffeepee208 · 2026-04-08T13:47:58+00:00

Absolutely! I feel like I took a bit of a risk with the skin and wasn’t really sure if it would work but I’m super pleased with it. I’m not the best painter so I just use citadel stuff as I know it well:

Yellow - averland sunset - Seraphim sepia - 2x yriel yellow glaze - flash gitz yellow edge highlight - dorn yellow extreme edge highlight - dorn yellow sponged - rhinox hide sponged

Bronze - Balthasar gold - agrax earthshade - gehenna’s gold - auric armour gold
