There wasn't really much to go on when I started with Witch Elves in CIBBL, and this was before BB2020 so I did have some advantage of a more versatile team at the beginning. That being said the obvious strategy is to protect the witches at the early on. If your opponent makes a mistake, then by all means capitalise on it as much as you can but be prepared for high attrition, the av8+ is unforgiving and Witches are damned expensive.

Starting rosters: 2 witches, 9 priestesses and try to use the inducements and stars as best you can. Any more than 4 witches I have found to be bloat and somewhat uncontrollable (and undefendable) if they are all forced to be on the field.

Inducements: Wizards are great, some of the CIBBL stars are awesome. Whilst my witches were low on skills the ST4 queen and MA9 mega stars were excellent. Now I have a developed team I usually pick the fouler or chainsaw player and a bribe if I can get it.

Development: Witches - generally follow the development for witches on Dark Elf teams. Some block, some wrestle, side step and diving tackle are nice. Stat ups, ignore PA after BB2020, ignore AV+ (if they die they die, you have to be prepared for that), MA+ is key. ST+ is nice but they will become a massive target if you can't protect them. AG of course but beware of bloat over other useful skills. Priestesses - block then dodge but can be dodge first if you like that. Most other skills are wasted on them since they are your cannon fodder and just die. Maybe a kicker but I've found that not so useful. I run a dedicated fouler with sneaky git and dirty player.

General tactics: Hit, run, foul. Not necessarily in that order. Numbers are key I've found. If you start losing ladies early on it can be curtains. You can't just soak up hits like a normal dark elf team and you can't pass your way out of trouble since BB2020, so hit them before they hit you. Take down the edge pieces if the opportunity presents and gang foul them off. Rely on your movement to get back into position the next turn.

Other than that, pray your opponents av dice are rubbish.

Best of luck
