2 in fact : Snotling & Underworld teams.
But I suppose he also counts Ogre team as there are Gnoblars in (and Gnoblars are Snotlings without Swarming skill). |

The 100K "Riotous Rookies" inducement for snotling and ogre teams that gives 2D+1 extra journey snotlings/runts is an interesting one. To take rosters for the match above 16 players. Especially for snotling teams that can set up over 11 (with swarming ability).
I saw this on the warhammercommunity website.
One of the many issues with ogre teams is that runts go out so quickly you get outmanned in the 2nd half even with a roster of 16. |

I just noticed that Guard gives assists in general (not just for blocks), i.e. fouls.
Could this mean that, with the changes to sneaky git and the introduction of Pile Driver and Biased Referee, mass fouling could be a really strong strategy, especially for snotlings? |

I think mass fouling may be Snotling's best (only) strategy anyway. I don't think Guard would help them much |

Nicely spotted. The old "This skill may not be used to assist a foul" has been removed.
This makes the pile driver skill really useful and reinforces pure bashing teams a lot. It seems like a dwarf has written the new rules! |

Guard: "This player can offer both offensive and defensive assists regardless of how many opposition players are Marking them."
Fouling: "To commit a Foul make an Armour roll (and possible Injury roll) against the nominated victim. Offensive and defensive assists are worked out before this Armour roll is made, exactly as when performing a block action,... yadda yadda" |

How about a pile driving Sneaky Git? That sounds like fun. Big guy first skill is pile driver, second SG, third, block. Change order to suit your playing style. |

The deathroller starts with Dirty +2. Add 2 assists and the old Claw/RSC is back |

That would cost 38 SPP and +100k
This new edition will see a stuggle between optimal, cherry-picking teams and randomized, cost efficient teams. Will see what mode prevail.
Probably in the same team the cheap players will be randomized and the expensive specialists don't. |

Sneaky Git, +2DP, Pile Driver Death Roller - what a great idea! Actually, Pile Driver on the death roller is probably one of the few players where it might be somewhat useful - no longer do you have to choose between blocking or fouling! |

Also, unless you have some fouling benefits from Bribery and Corruption, i wouldn´t risk my 200+ value Big Guy to be sent off for a pile drive/foul. Sneaky git doesn´t make you immune to being sent off.. |

It's a free foul action that can be used after knocking someone down with a block / blitz. It places you prone too |
