The skaven projekt 25%
Ok 25 matches in, 75 left to go!
12-3-10 is the current record and must be considered to be decent in every aspect as every match in made in the Black box. I got a +8 in touchdowns and -8 in casualty which is also quite ok. I have tried to go with some sort of tournamentbuild and I could possibly have had better succes with by building a natural oneturn-runner but thats not what Im after.
I have changed the skillchoices abit as my strip ball runner has mostly been useless. Ofcourse I could position myself better in order to make use of it but by pure math I cant justify myself keeping it in the team. I tried the strip ball in a tournament and in 5 matches I had not used it once :/. I realised that what I needed instead was a tackleblitzer. Cause many of my hardest matchups so far have been teams that rely on dodge, underworld is possibly the worst among the worst.
So far into this journey Im still quite new and not very comfortable playing with them and possibly I never will and maybe thats what it should be like as I tend to play to casual. The difference is that with f.ex. Lizardmen or orcs if I have a turn of pure stupidity maybe some player got knocked down but nothing often happends. With skaven the players are just to squishy and that I have to defend some key players is crucial. Also when the match are more or less over I cant have my players lying around in order to be fouled or get hit cause I need all players til next game so planning forward is also very important.
Anyhow, the summer is comming but I will try to get some matches in and hopefully I finish this project before the end of this year? It would mean that I have to do basicly two games a week and it doesnt sound much but there is also other matches that have to be played with other teams so I doubt I can get it done.
But, next stop is a report for reaching 50 games asap! Two games a week and before the end of July? yeah, with a couple of GFI, it might just happend :)

Well done for pushing yourself with a new team.
My tuppence worth of wisdom is to make it about the ball, threaten the ball so the opposition puts resources into defending that. Rather than in resourcing 3D blitzes, gang fouls, and general bashing n basing.
Strip ball I found of limited use in my BBT8 Skaven run. I invested heavily in a Strip Ball, Wrestle, Tackle, Dauntless Gutter Runner. But found that most often even if it knocked the ball loose I rarely had the chance to recover it and score.
That contrasts with my box UW, where my mutant Legend GR is able to recover loose ball and consistently score against the run of play.
The low-TV skaven BBT squad just didn't have the X Factor to get away with similar outrageous moves. In fact we started loosing games when the TV got higher at the end of the run.

Well done, Buddy! A new team can be challenging, Im trying to understand Khorne my self. But thats why I enjoy this game ,learning different races.
About the strip ball gutter he is essential in certain matches and just a fast moving support piece in other. On offence I try to keep him close to the ballcarrier to steal the ball back if the carrier goes down.

@beanbelly yeah, thats about the same problem I had with strip ball. I guess it may come to a point when I have play more matches that I can implement strip ball in my gameplay but where I am now I just cant make use of it. And as U say, high tw skaven has alot more options to steal some matches and at the moment I got knocked down to 1025 in teamvalue due to being massacred in last game so I dread for the next match lol :)
@sirvejlance haha well, you and I have spoken about the strip ball earlier but I just have to put it aside until further notice but I keep checkingyour matches and maybe, just maybe I can get the hang of it some day. I have also tried your assymetrical setup in some games and Im not 100% sure when to use it has some advantages for sure. I need all the advice I can get!
