Hobnail Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Imo the roster is poorly constructed. They will be another high TV mincing machine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 5
Anglakhel Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Mechanically and balance wise I find the roster interesting. Fluffwise, I find the roster extremely puzzling. Pitfighters with Pass access? Bloodletters, I've already used as an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbecks Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Looks quite good and with passing access as a normal roll on lineman looks to be some interesting builds, I do like the roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Juriel Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hmm. I think regular Orcs with Frenzy would do most of what Khorne here does, only have more staying power. Just saying. (I would love to see a Slaanesh roster with Hypno Gaze, or Tzeentch who could use my mass Fend approach!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verbal_HM Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hopefully if this game makes some money for Granny Wendy we might see a Tzeech or maybe even a Slan'esh team, might look something like this: Slannesh Roster: 0-16 Leggy Sods 6338 VLL,Leap 0-4 Pink Terrors 7247 Dive Catch, VLL, Leap 0-4 Blue Terrors 7338 Dive Tackle, Jump Up, VLL, Leap 0-1 Greater Deamon of Slannesh 6519...

Gallows Bait Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I've posted my first thoughts widely this afternoon, on the BB forums and on bbtactics. Overall, I think they have enough flaws not to be too overpowered at any TV, though top end 2000+ will probably remain to be seen. The Bloodletters are great positionals, but AV7 keeps it more balanced. The linemen will be a pain to use, but at least compensate with AV8. Passing access should largely be ignored, its as daft for these guys as it is for Chaos Pact. I seem to be one of the few people that thinks it fits the fluff quite nicely, but more to the point, its not worth obsessing over. Bloodthirsty, impulsive and aggressive, but ultimately being human cultists with a smattering of summoned demons is a great fit to me though. Mutations would have been overpowered and not exactly great from the fluff either, Khorne isn't big on them. Only downside to me is the positionals seem a little cheap, but RRs balance that out. That and all MA6 will be a tough one for a lot of people, as will the lack of block - I predict much whining as people realise they aren't an automatic "I win" button. :lol: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakerbeef Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I think they're different enough from the hairy vikings for the Norse to stay relevant. The Bloodletters would be the obvious choice to impersonate 'Zerkers but they still start at a Block, Frenzy and Jump Up disadvantage. Only Horns and arguably Juggernaut help them in that eventual role. They're also down 2 ST4 players, Horns or not. Also given the choice would you rather spam Block or Frenzy...thought so! TBH they come across as a Norse/Dwarf hybrid rather than Chaos. The Bloodthirster is a superior Yeti though. He's a ready-made blitzing/killing machine.

jbecks Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I look forward to playing them, but boy will it suck when you loose a few players around 1700tv and get a st3 frenzy linemen with frenzy to try and level up again! Put a guard big guy behind your Los and lol when he tries to block the Los down and follows up to 2d against muhahaha :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
Pidpad Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 That's what make them balanced in leagues. I can see them being a minor inconvenience in TV based MM. You know, the standard: A few really really good and killy players and a bunch of chaff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 4 3 3 2 4 2 2

Juriel Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 With 60k Human Linemen, I don't think you can TV-optimize them that much. Ignore positionals? Congratz, you're paying premium for human linemen with Frenzy to turnover with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy C Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I like the team. They aren't overpowered, which is what everyone was fearing. And they look damned tough to coach at low tv's. In fact i would say it would take a really good coach to do well with this team until they reach mid 1,500 tv's. Its about then that they would hit their stride. At higher tv's of around 2,000 or so, i see them as being good, but not in the same league as Chaos/Nurgle/Delf/Welf. I will steer clear of them myself though, as there is no way i could handle all that frenzy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
