Don't encourage him! His Orcs are already a pain in the neck to play against. I shudder to think how frustrating it will become.

Very Happy

Orcs are best with 11 or 12 players. You should use their armor at the end. Fouling with a slow team, then losing the player is a great loss. I would not invest into fouling with orcs in most cases.

PS. Sage I think that Foul Appearance is a drastically underrated skill, if I was making a Chaos side without clawpomb I would load up on it.


Hrmm... I'd start off with Nurgle if you want to do that; it saves you 4-5 positionals to give it to. =)

Personally I'd love to get a prehensile tail stack team going.

anyone ever take 4 goblins in an Orc team?
I guess it would be a challenge, but could be fun!

Have you ever considered a chaos dwarf team with prehensile tail spam on doubles? Just to max out of stasis.

PainState has/had one, if I remember correctly from an RRR - or SMACK. Whatever, just check his teams, maybe you find one. Wink

I would try it if the skilled goblin would not be soo bad, and lack any interesting future.
Blueprint would be 4 BO's for line duty, 4 blitzers, then the rest gobbos who carry the ball. So basically swap the lineorcs for goblins. The problem is if you start multiskilling goblins, then you will be punished almost no matter what.

Would be tempted to take a troll then, but no, I resist.

I played a team in B that had 4 goblins a little while back. But I can't remember who coached them. I'm pretty sure I've seen one or two other teams like that around too.

I know I have tried a few times but failed and retired immediately.
Perhaps I'll try again.

And it turns out I forgot another one I played around the same time: https://fumbbl.com/p/team?team_id=777119
Edit: which is Estremo's one OenarLod already posted.

Back in LRB days I was a SF maniac, it was worth taking it on almost any player that could I think (even with the bug that would let you chainpush a SF player). Nowadays I don't really take SF anymore Sad

Oh well if SF would stop you from falling over when you failed a dodge, I am sure more people would be loading up on it. Mind you, it was also a double back then.
