Hello Guys,
Its been awhile since I posted a "how to make a team for a tournament"-trait. So lets make this a special one.
This weekend I'll be attending "the colleges of magic cup". The tournament has been made up by some fluff loving dutch guys. They try to make a wacky spinn off of the old Dungeon bowl rules, meaning that everything it twarted.
The ruleset of the game can be found here:
http://www.talkbloodbowl.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=22492&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
I dont expect everyone to read it  , but keep in mind that the "spells" and "the auras" can influence a game in a big way.
Because spells are really scarry, I was thinking of having at least 1 reserve if I played a high armour team, and at least 2 if I played a low armour team.
Taking just 1 specialised player (like for instance 1 witch elf, or 1 wardancer) will result in an instant toad spell. So I wouldnt put my money on that, and keep the range of specialist as big as possible.
After lots of thinking it all came down to 4 colleges:
- Amber: Dark Elves + Orcs + Skavens
4x Dark Elf Blitzer
1x Dark Elf Lineman
4x Black Orc Blocker
2x Gutter Runner
3x Reroll
This would end up in a great team, but I dont like the fact that I wont have any reserves doesnt really feel good.
- Dark College: Undead - Dark Elves - Trolls
2x Mummies
4x Blitzer
5x Zombie
1x Ghoul
3x Reroll
This was my first choice. I beleve this team could really make it having good blitzer, 2 hard hitters, en lots of rerolls.
- Rainbow college: Wood elves + Halflings + Humans
2x Wardancer
4x Catcher
1x Wood Elf Lineman
6x Halflings
1x Human Lineman
4x Reroll
you can also choose to make a blitzer from that thrower, or take an extra lino, or take human thrower, etc etc by switching a reroll.
This team was originally my wet dream, I have been thinking a lot abouth these guys because the scoring possibilities are endless (wood elves) and you have a wide variation of flings to put on the line. Also a lot of rerolls (rrr) but no st to make up for anything.
plan : score 1-0 quick (if you can start)
then cast the toad spell on the ball carier, ball scatters free, 2-0
try to survive to win.
- Bright College - Dwarves - Humans - Norscans
5x Dwarf Lineman (linefodder)
1x Troll Slayer
4x Human Blitzer
2x Norse Runner
3x Reroll
Well the team is pretty straight forward. Lots and lots of block. Lots of starting skills. 3 rerolls is more then good enough. And the + point is that the dwarf team actually has movement.
You got 6 ma 7 guys to your disposal wich is pretty great.
May I remind the not LRB5.0 players, that Norse runners have: 7 3 3 7 Block, Dauntless
So what do you guys think?
What would you pick?
What would you change ?
grtz
and happy puzzling

The Amber College is nice. Lot of scoring potential, speed, agility and strength in a good mix. Also the average av is really good.
The Dark College could end up with your blitzers doing the scoring over the Ghoul, so why have him. Dodge? It does offer a lot of versatility in making a short passing game on top of your running/bashin/fouling game.
The Rainbow college is all about speed and scoring. Also, as long as you don't meet Dwarves the 'flings are actually pretty good as line fodder. to be honest I would choose this one as I like to play Blood Bowl for making lots of TDs and winning.
The Bright College does have fast Humans without sacrificing allround block, however, I'm no fan of av7 on a bashing team. you lack the ag to get out of trouble. |

Is this using dungeonbowl rules or not? I can't use the link without becoming a member of Talk Bloodbowl which I'm too lazy to do. |

first of all,
My appologies... I had no idea you should loging to the forum to actually see the side (its all done manually over here)
http://www.jorisdormans.nl/res/collegescup.pdf
this is an older version of the ruleset, it doesnt have all the colleges in there, and some rules have been changed but the main idea is still in there.
Why take a ghoul ? Because you have 70 k left and you want to spend it on something. Ghouls still have av 7 and dodge wich makes them pretty good. |

I would drop two catchers for an all human LoS for more durability. If you run into that dwarf/norse team and can mostly field catchers, flings and av7 youll get torn apart. |

True
But the rules state that I can take:
16 guys from the Wood elf Roster
6 guys from the halfling roster
2 guys from the human roster
Also , there can never be more (or equal) halflings then woodies, there cant be more/equal humans then halflings.
So i can fill up with with woodie lineman (I can even take 2 human blitzers).
Btw khaan, wth are you boiling in those pots on your page. Not cooking up some yage are you? |
