Chorf resurrection team help

[Rymdkejsaren 2,038]

So I'm going to be playing in the Priest of Nuffle invitational. I don't want people to build my team for me, but since I rolled a chorf star (Hrumphahrump the Unstoppable), I'll be playing chorfs. Not my forte.

 

I get 1140 TV with six basic skills. There are some other rules but that's the basic thing. I'm thinking sure hands on a hobgoblin, three guard on blockers, and block or perhaps one wrestle on the two bull centaurs. Currently, that's what I have, plus an apo and a spare hobgoblin (for 13 players total), bought using extra inducement cash. Any thoughts on that? Anything obvious I'm missing (skillwise)? I have 3 rerolls despite them being quite expensive as I want to play it quite safe.

1 RR and Minitaur for ultimate mayhem. You dont have MB. You need that. With 0 Chorf knowledge im your guy!

I'm still tempted by this, even though I know it's, shall we say, suboptimal?

[Tys123 563]

You need more removal so DP hob rather than SH.

Block on both bulls.

With the 3 RRs, I suppose that's defendable. I could also give one bull block and MB (ok by the rules), though that's a third of my skills on one player, which is risky.

[Rymdkejsaren 2,038]

Oh man, someone needs to stop me.

 

1 RR

2 fan factor

1 Apo

 

1 Minotaur with claw

2 Bull centaurs with block

6 Blockers

2 Hobgoblins with dirty player

2 Hobgoblins

Hthark the Unstoppable

[Rymdkejsaren 2,038]

Could also go: 

 

2 RR

2 Fan factor

 

1 Minotaur with claw

2 Bull centaurs with block

6 Blockers

1 Hobgoblin with dirty player

3 Hobgoblins

Hthark the Unstoppable

 

But that means I'm dropping a skill, which doesn't seem brilliant.

 

Neither is a great setup. But CLAW MINO!

[Hobnail 1,254]

Claw is a double. I thought u said 6 normal?

[Hobnail 1,254]

Or can you trade two skills for a double?

[Hobnail 1,254]

I always run a Minotaur. If I have access to a double, I'd always give him block ahead of claw.

 

And I usually put Sure Hands on a Bull. ST4 being a great defense as a ball carrier.

[Rymdkejsaren 2,038]

Yeah you can trade two normal for a double.

 

Block mino was my first thought, since it's a lot more sensible and makes the mino pick a bit more defendable. And sure hands on a bull centaur isn't a bad idea. Might want block too, though. Still...

[Hobnail 1,254]

Also, I'd bin a Hobgoblin and a FF to get an apo.

He won't need block much buried in the middle of the inevitable cage (the bull I mean)

Good thoughts. Will look at two fresh builds, one mino, one without. Thanks!

[Rymdkejsaren 2,038]

Ok, either the safer route:

 

Quote

 

3x RR

2x Fan factor

1x Apo

 

1x Bull centaur + sure hands

1x Bull centaur + block + mighty blow

2x Chaos Dwarf Blocker + guard

4x Chaos Dwarf Blocker

1x Hobgoblin + dirty player

3x Hobgoblin

1x Hthark the Unstoppable

 

(13 players)

 

 

Or the riskier but more STR route (2RRs, but sacrifices a skill, plus another for double on mino):

Quote

 

2x RR

1x Fan factor

1x Apo

 

1x Minotaur + block (double)

1x Bull centaur + sure hands

1x Bull centaur + block

1x Chaos Dwarf Blocker + guard

5x Chaos Dwarf Blocker

3x Hobgoblin

1x Hthark the Unstoppable

 

(13 players)

 

 

The only way to avoid dropping a skill is going 1 RR, which feels too risky.

[danton 229]

What about dropping the Apo and the FF in the second roster? You have 13 players and this is Resurrection format right? Would that let you add another skill?

Nope, you get two different cash pools which you don't see in these rosters. But it's not possible without dropping the reroll or a positional.

[Suido 1,266]

Consider Break Tackle on the SH bull centaur for mobility.

 

Hthark with ST5/block/juggs, plus 6 chorfs with block/tackle - you have sufficient blocking/blitzing capability. I see block on the other centaurs as less important than making your ball carrier better at scoring. After sorting out the ball carrier, I'd want minimum 2 guard, then MB chorf, DP hobo. I think wrestle would be my 7th choice skill, can't see how it beats the other options.

 

 

[Rymdkejsaren 2,038]

Wrestle is off the table in the latest build. Hthark has break tackle (though he's a loner, so it's a risk). Mb on a chorf instead of the block bull, I'm not sure I'm along for. Seems the bull gives more mobility and is generally safer with str 4.

 

Do you suggest a second skill for ball carrying bull? Like what? I'm not convinced it's worth it as skills are very dear and mostly, the point is he'll stay away from the ruckus. I've got plenty of units that can screen him.

 

Otherwise, my new "safe" build seems to do most of what you say.

Noice! Do it! You know you want to

[Rymdkejsaren 2,038]

While I love the idea, I really can't justify playing with 1 RR. And the 2 RR mino build means I forego a skill, which is too high a cost. So while I dislike it, I'm leaning towards the more sensible build (with perhaps some minor adjustments):

[Nateguy75 36]

Hmm, far enough.  I must say, I do like the bc carrier and gang fouling potential!

 

it’s the whole point of chorfs really. BCs knock em down. DP hobbo makes sure they don’t get back up again

[Rymdkejsaren 2,038]

I've locked in that last one. It will be an interesting tournament.

[Ratamo 497]

I took (same tournament, same eace, different star for those who don't know), more straightforward approach.

 

3 RR

2 Bribes

 

4x Chaos Dwarf Blockers

2x Chaos Dwarf Blockers + Guard

1x Bull Centaur + Sure Hands

1x Bull Centaur + Mighty Blow

2x Hobgoblin + Dirty Player

2x Hobgoblin

Rashnak Backstabber (Loner, Dodge, Sidestep, Sneaky Git, Stab)

 

Total of 13 players.

 

Let's see which will be better! And fun fact that i hava played 0 games with chorfs before this tournament, ever.

First sentence of my post - Break Tackle.

 

Makes your bull so much more reliably mobile and able to score. Invaluable when the going gets tough. I regularly get BT as first skill on a bull to help it develop. 

 

Hthark has BT, but he's not carrying the ball for you. He's punching holes with St5 and juggernaut.

 

MB goes on chorf cos it already has block/tackle, maximizing effectiveness.
