![]() This multipart plastic kit contains all the components you need to build the Thunder Valley Greenskins, a Black Orc team for use in games of Blood Bowl. Incredibly strong on offence and hard to shift on defence, a well-managed Black Orc team is a fearsome thing to face off against across the Line of Scrimmage. Grind down the pitch, crushing the other players underfoot, until your Goblins are close enough to make a dash for the End Zone. If you like your plays rather unsubtle, this is the team for you. Teams like the Thunder Valley Greenskins have made a name for themselves with their impressive athleticism and discipline as much as their capacity for grievous violence. Even the trolls on Black Orc teams are well trained, which is an impressive feat! Well drilled in comparison to their peers, the little guys are quick to run the ball through any gaps the Black Orcs open up for them. Their biggest weakness is a lack of speed – but that's where the Goblins come in. ![]() ![]() Smarter, stronger, and more serious than their kin, they were tired of soaking up all the big hits and giving up all the glory. Nevertheless, simply throwing players isolated downfield like NFL receivers will not pay dividends in Blood Bowl as your opponent will very likely maim them before the ball ever arrives, so you will still need to follow some principles of screening and careful positioning so that they have a chance to safely receive the ball.Black Orcs have been splitting off and forming their own teams for years now. Starting out, you will not have enough Catchers to really exploit this, but any of your team can be a catcher when the situation calls. On offense, Union does have a legitimate passing attack, with very high percentage success on the thrower-to-catcher connection, and the catcher's Nerves Of Steel allows them to snag the ball even in traffic. As your team develops, you will be able to build some very effective long-range ball-hawks and can be more aggressive in trying to pressurize opponents, particularly at kick-off, where a deep kick can really cause slower and less agile opponents to struggle. ![]() You will need to play patiently and try and frustrate your opponent by limiting their block and blitz targets while waiting for a mistake. On defense, your default approach will be the double-column screen. You cannot go toe-to-toe with opponents and must master the art of dodging away from them, both on offense and defense, to keep your players safe and mobile. After all your spending you have 25k left over, which lets you add two additional Dedicated Fans and will be very helpful for your subsequent development.Įlven Union is the classic low-armor, high-agility team. One upside of this roster is that you can start with 3 Team Re-rolls, which is more than most other Elven teams can manage. These lightly-armored but agile players will have to do the grunt work of screening and shielding your playmakers. In time you will want as many Catchers as you can, as they have enormous development potential. This build only finds room for one Thrower and one Catcher. These two will be your workhorses and can pretty much do it all. Block is an enormously important skill for all players, especially when starting out, while Sidestep will provide positional value again and again. The two most important players are the Blitzers. Union has many expensive positionals, which means your starting lineups will have to forego some players you will definitely want down the line.
