Note there are Skills and Traits in the contents page. This could very well be a Trait.
Trait meaning special rule. That would make some sense as Ogres in the Ogre team are also mentioned as Brawlers. |

Those aren't reasonable comparisons.
Horns/Juggernaut can only be used on a blitz, which can only happen once per turn anyway.
Pass Blockk can only be used on a pass action, which can only happen once per turn.
Kick-off return is only used on something that happens once per drive.
The times where you need to select who can use that skill will only ever happen once per turn. If you are triggering skills on a block action, you'll be doing that multiple times per turn. |

They don’t. They are all tied to actions that can only occur once. That’s different |

Happy with the human team. Blitzers down 5k is perfect. And having the human thrower 5k less than the skaven thrower is a good nod to the fact that move is generally better than armour, especially on a carrier.
Now I can spend my free time agonising over whether to roster a thrower for the short drives or save myself 30k. Good times.
I'm very pleased with the orc roster too. For fun builds I have wished that I could make an orc and goblin team, but was hampered by the 0-4 goblins. Hampered no more! |

Can I ask where you saw this one, because I’ve now seen a screenshot with similar wording but it appears to be from the Ogre Spike! Issue to me? |

I've just seen the wording for Brawler it can be used by multiple players during a turn.
During their turn when an Ogre player throws a block (but not as part of a Blitz action) they may reroll a single both down result. |

A lot of angst over this on various sites / facebook etc.
I think its a massive nerf but of all the teams, WE's could do with a nerf as they're clearly the premier team under BB2016.
It does however change the play entirely and yet at the same time, may provide an opportunity for other elves (high and pro) to get an advantage over their Woodie cousins by allowing High and Pro line elves to pass at a 3+.
I always considered woodies to be the running elves and High/Pro to be a passing team. With the PA stat, they may just do that and hence High and Pro elves may become more attractive.
Woodies still get the Treeman (another big plus), but if you do play a running game as a WE coach, is the 4+ PA stat for line elves really matter other than for spp farming? |

Also most of their players have had a passing nerf. That'ts huge. It impacts their ability to move the ball quickly in turnover situations. |

Surprised this isn't causing more chat ^ |
Humans get...
TTM!
Also, if TTM is a separate action to Pass (as rumoured), then TTM on a team like this could be a highly viable 1TTD option. |

Wow, elves passing on a 4 plus. Looks like passing is nerfed in this edition (assuming nothing else materially changes). I kind of like it from a team creation perspective, look forward to seeing how it pans out. |

I haven't seen it yet but going off the info up there. Why is the wood elf thrower 95k? That's a big nerf imo. As wood elf throwers have always been over costed as a result of how good the overall team is. Adding 5k to him is odd.
Glad catchers lost sprint. This is something I did in my rules too. Though likely for different reasons. |

i made a mistake on imperial lineman last night, the correct stat line is -
0-16 Impereal Retainer Linemen 45k 6 3 4+ 4+ 8+ Fend G AS
which is exactly the same as plasmoids peseants of bretonnia, only 5k cheaper. |
