Hey LiesureLee Minis! If you want to watch Skaven *go to work* - check out the game we filmed with them against Halflings 😁 th-cam.com/video/LuvtuPoyg58/w-d-xo.html
Hey Timber Wolf - definitely, in league if you've got the cash a second thrower will always be worth it!! One is *Just fine* though, but when need to replace a Linerat, if you can spend the 20k extra for Thrower #2 - definitely worth doing in BB2020!
I was a absolute mad lad and went with 2 Blizzers 4 Gutter runners 3 Line rats 1 Rat Ogre 1 Thrower 1 Re roll And 45 000 in the bank. Won the league, Nuffle be praised.
Hey ForzaTerra! Great Question - I mean, having two SH PA2++ players is always better than one, but you've got 5 players that can *very* handily pick up and move the ball, so it depends on if you want that extra 20k TV on the roster!
@@BoneheadPodcast one will inevitably die or miss a game at some point. I trialled it yesterday and it wasn’t needed but later in a league I can see value in 2 on the roster I think, still need those extra arms
Unnecessary risk is kind of the appeal of skaven. I play them in AOS and losing is just as fun as winning because things either go catastrophically wrong or legendarily right, both of which make for fun memories
In BB2020 can you deliberately take less than 11 players to induce Journeymen? I had always assumed that you need to hire at least 11 players at team creation.
Hey Circus of Paint! You do indeed need to take 11 players, but you don’t *have* to replace them when they die! So for Skaven using JMs to be Line fodder (and now Rogre fodder) is a solid cost saving measure!!
@@BoneheadPodcast Reading the 2020 rules back confirms that. For some reason I thought one of the rosters you shown only had 10, but apparently I can't count!
Hey Stefan! Welcome back to the hobby :D Currently we focus mostly on Blood Bowl content, but we are some of the worst multi-gamers haha, what else are you getting back into? We may be able to help, or at least point you in a good direction if not!
if I get a box of skaven and the FW booster pack will that be enough rats for my team, please? I used to play skaven, so I can actually play BB with these guys, so it might be a good idea for me to have a team. at the minute all of the teams I have are really bashy and it's alien to me. While I want to learn this side of the game, having some ag boys is really my wheelhouse. I was going to try an elven team, but I do love my fast-quick boys.
Hey TableTop Wolf! Yes! Gutters are still very, very good - their passing ability has been hurt, but with MA9 and a 2+ catch... hand offs are very effective! Obviously it’s risky having them as catchers, but it’s always hard to stop a launch pad Gutter pack!
Honestly, i think Animal Savagery is a buff over Wild Animal. It's kinda like Vamp Bloodlust, just if you fail and can't bite/smash someone, you won't lose it for the entire drive, just the turn.
Ohhh you’re so right - the guaranteed action is brilliant, but it does double down on the attritional vulnerability of Skaven teams! A little risk with a little reward 😁
Definitely a nerf. Without assistance it is like Really Stupid, so losing the Tackle Zone and Prehensile Tail. With assistance, yes you get a single guaranteed action, but you are hitting a Av8+ Linerat with Mighty Blow. Which means you are losing your markers and any hope of numbers advantage.
If my luck with skaven is like my luck when i face skaven the linerats never get injured but a storm vermin and a gutter runner will die (vs. CPU so i didn't hurt an actual player.)
I'm debating picking up skaven to try and get into bloodbowl. Need to figure out the game and positions first though.

Late to comment on this one but what do you think about modifying the rogre line up to 2 rerolls, 4 linemen and 3 gutter runners?
Great work, Ben :) Thank you for doing these.
Need some inspiration on rat oger names any thoughts?
Would you ever run 2 throwers to supercharge your stretch play?
Hey Timber Wolf - definitely, in league if you've got the cash a second thrower will always be worth it!! One is *Just fine* though, but when need to replace a Linerat, if you can spend the 20k extra for Thrower #2 - definitely worth doing in BB2020!
I was a absolute mad lad and went with
2 Blizzers
4 Gutter runners
3 Line rats
1 Rat Ogre
1 Thrower
1 Re roll
And 45 000 in the bank.
Won the league, Nuffle be praised.
Is there value in buying fan factor now and purchasing a second thrower?

Hahahaha I wouldn’t count out an error here or there 😬😬😅 (*quietly hopes everyone has forgotten about the Skaven mistake yesterday*)
The Rogre roster seems like a lot of fun, albeit risky. And I will be definitely messing around with the Hakflem build.
Oof Rogres are very Risky, but that's amazing though - it just allows people to cater the lists to their play style!
Hakflem is great. I want him for my Chaos Chosen though, more so than my Skaven team.
Hi im a new sub , do you cover other GW games aswell ? thanks , ps getting myself bk into the hobs . cheers.

You are amazing bro. Love you BB brother!!!!
Haha, thanks StarDog!!😁😁

Are gutters still as good? Do you still use them as the dodging downfield running threat or do you use them more like catchers for elves?
Hey TableTop Wolf! Yes! Gutters are still very, very good - their passing ability has been hurt, but with MA9 and a 2+ catch... hand offs are very effective!

Yeah people keep calling it a nerf but a guaranteed activation doesn't seem like a nerf to me.

I hate the fact that the starting set only gives you two runners and no ogre :( very sad
Underworld next please
Agreed, love me some UW
The team box only comes with 2 gutter runners, so what, buy two boxes to field the team one wants?
FW does some resin to fill in the gaps. Well the two gutters and an ult blizer and thrower.
Humans and Nobility next pls
Skaven do seem a "winningful" option :) think im gonna give them a try!
Haha, Definitely! Skaven are the fairest of unfair teams!
Great vid would love to darkelves
My son will love this 🙁
If my luck with skaven is like my luck when i face skaven the linerats never get injured but a storm vermin and a gutter runner will die (vs. CPU so i didn't hurt an actual player.)
Nooo! Linemen die... that’s a fact of BB... but Gutters 🥺💔
👍
