Hi
Does anyone have any view (or even experience) regarding the Gnome 'Secret League' team from FUMBBL? Details below.
Most of them have Stunty but no Dodge or even an Agility option (without doubles), which is scary!
Despite my negative title, I do believe they've tried to balance the team. However my league colleagues seem excited about the prospect of me choosing this team. Plenty of sniggering!
I might give them a go because they look fun. But I'll be honest - half my games against human players have been with my Ogre team, which has been very brain-achey (and low-scoring!), so I don't really want to spend days painting a gnome team for a 12-game league only to find they are painfully bad.
All views very welcome!

Just remember you have a st3 team there they are decent at blocking. Use the big guys to tie up a few players. Don't waste your time with the bombarded |

Tier-wise, they seem maybe tier 2? |

Great stuff! Thanks! I'm up for a mad team (Playing Ogres for so long was heavy and not so much 'fun' as 'demanding'!). Will look. |

Can I check. How do I 'watch' his replays? I had a look at your link and it's great stuff but I couldn't see any way to watch how he plays. |

Click here https://fumbbl.com/p/team?op=view&showmatches=1&team_id=873152 and then click the green circle next to each match to bring up the match page. The link to the replay is in the centre of the match page.
And for my money, they're not a stunty team. They're a team which happens to have stunty.
Same as slann are not a leaping team, they're a team which happens to have leap |

Thanks. It gives me a 'jnlp' file but I'm afraid I don't know what to do with it. |

Gnomes appeared in some of the early warhammers. Their stats were remarkably similar to humans,hence the stat lines.
They were part of the dwarf army however and there were several references to their similarities. Mixed communities, getting angry with being confused as dwarfs, as well as racially being related.
I guess with this list the nod is the similarity in rosters. However for me as the lino is weak it's screaming for physical similarities too. Either S access on linos or thick skull. Personally I would put in 2 dwarf blockers.
However if I recall gnomes couldn't mix in warhammer and that's why there are none in this list. I'd love to see some reference to the illusion aspect to. However without special rules it's tricky. |

Maybe something like 'Can get any inducement classified as a Wizard for half price, rounded down to the nearest 10k'.
They certainly feel like they need a boost.
And the gnome runner is bad. It's the same cost and abilities as a human catcher except it has worse MA, worse AV, swaps Catch for Sure Hands and adds Stunty. I know Stunty gels well with 2+ rerollable dodges ... but I'd still take the human every time. |
