Norse start better, once up and running the Humans are better.

Why? Mainly because of AV, but also lack of movement and skill choices on the Norse. Humans have awesome Blitzers, fast catchers, and it doesn't take long to skill up replacements.

With several successive wins with my first attempt at Norse, I wonder if the AV7 bash team is better than the more traditional human team.

A comparison...................

AV7 is really awful for a bash team -- the reason they don't scale is strictly down to increasing prevalence of MB at higher TV. Norse really need another protection skill to help them sustain development.

Having said that, the 5x Frenzy is more fun than Human speed imo.

Aye AV7 will always stink. Unless it carries ag4 to make up for it. DukeTyrion summarized it all.

Norse: They are a team that exists in bloodbowl.

+1 mahaha


A comment by a fumbbl coach i stumbled upon recently that says it all. They're AV7 bashers, leaves nothing to add really.
They awful!

Norse, easily. Humans are trying to be elves and just don't get there... or more precisely they're trying to be skaven. 0-4 stormvermin are nice, but no M access isn't, and human catchers sure ain't gutter runners.

As for Norse, if you play Norse as a bash team, yeah, you're going to fail. I see plenty of people trying to play Norse as basically dwarves because of all the block, but Norse are not dwarves. Norse are not orcs. They have guys who can bash, but poor armor and limited guard make them mostly unsuited to the scrum. They're much better if you split the opponent up and mark them. They hold up well one-on-one, with block across the board and everyone able to carry the ball... if you can get a couple casualties/KOs early, which you should be able to do, you can move forward from there.

Neither are better, because they are both very nice
