After the usual wandering about teams, being a tipical noob, getting beat, getting beat, then after that getting beat some more, I decided to read the tactics forum. From this I got the message thats its a good idea to start with a high number of rerolls.

Right! easy enough.

1000k went nicely into=

12 skeletons, 8 rerolls, and a nice big ff 8.

Rather giving this better thought, I decided this was possibley the dumbest idea ever. But anyway, I gave them a few games. Well to my suprise im actually playing much better with this team that any other? I have managed to pull off a good 1-1 draw and a solid 2-0.

So can this continue? Or am I one good kicking away from a pile of broken bones and a puzzled look?

Hehe, a convert! At last!

When you get them up to strength, I'll give them a game with my own skels.

I figure 8 rerolls is maybe too many, I have trouble using 5 most of the time.

The skels shall march on forever!

I'd say it's a bit early to tell yet... Wink The 2 teams/coaches you've met so far don't appear super strong, at least not a first glance. But you're starting to afford those positional players and you definitely get an A+ for innovation. Smile I'd predict a hard time winning against just about any well played "normal" side, but then again, you might just pull it off long enough for the team to become more complete. Nice work. Smile

If I were gonna do a team of all skelos, these are the minor changes I would make...
12 skelotons - 360k - extra bodies since they break easy and for fouling when neccessary
7 rerolls - 490k - which should give me enough per half (and buying rr's later helps keep tr down)
9 fanfactor - 90k - not only for $$, but to get people to play you once your cool and to combat thrown rock and pitch invasion
3 assistants - 30k - to try to keep rr out of opponents hands (more than cheerleaders to overcome apothocary difference)
3 cheerleader- 30k - to try to keep rr out of opponents hands
any niggled players get the boot and buy/sac rr's to keep tr low

my 2 cents Smile

GL with your team, I hope they become stars.

corected to not be illegal...my bad

You can't have 15 skelettons in an undead or khemri team...

8 re-rolls are not too much? I do not believe I use one re-roll per turn.

OK, the sillyname-ras are skeletons too, but they don't cost 30k, so the setup doesn't work Very Happy

Well after giving them a few games, I decided I was nearly there but not quite... im enjoying my lastest efforts better tho Smile

They dont win much, but they sure are fun to play with Very Happy

Trying to score with 4 movement is always a challenge guess thats why I like them.
