Yhetee is a dumb name. why have a name derived from Himalayan mythology in a team derived from Scandinavia? Makes no sense. Stick with Snow Troll. Or if you want something more imaginative, at least use something from the norse / viking / scandinavian lexicon; maybe call it a Grendel or something... |

i vote Mr_Foulscumm as the troll he is  |
Pointing out that the Norse Big Guy is still named wrong on Fumbbl counts as trolling? |
on a related side note, i hate what the CRaP did to the positional names. Just dropped all the personality certain positionals had (HE blitzer, catcher, dwaf blocker and others).
If we can get a "wrong" name for the snow troll, then get several more wrong names |

Yeah some of those changes were really awefull like Changing Storm Vermin to Blitzer. It made me mad 
GW must have thought it was all too going to be too complicated and confusing for the kids they envisage playing the game now. |

Yes is see some simplification trent. That lost some flair.
Minos without M access are poor. AV8 unreliable and 150k. Too expensive. Rat ogre ist poor but in the skaven team it adds power so not worthless. Same issue wit not having M access. M for chaos teams ist not only fittig rp, it makes the big loners usefull.
without M thes are bloating team value without enough power in high ranked games.

I really don't understand what folks problem with the Deathroller is, I think it's an awesome Big guy even if it only plays for 1 drive, if the Dwarves are receiving that can be a looong drive. Break Tackle makes it very manouvrable and it tends to get 3 die blocks on most players. |

it is awesome but so damn expensive for what it lasts. And it's manouvrability is somewhat unreliable due to the Loner skill.
I've seen some deathrollers play for 2 turns. Sometimes because they are fielded in deffense to encourage the fast agile opponent to score fast, or just because of a critical failure in the dorf offense. |

My guess it was more the gw hate of the TFF that was the reason they took out the warhammer names. And say that blood bowl is played in the warhammer world and the people at TFF go nuts, but i know it is played in the warhammer world, because it says so on the back of my blood bowl game. |
