BB is made to scream and shout and let it loud. The rules offer plenty of cues to whine and complain!
Orc team is better than Black Orc team, from a competitive point of view (I know that Black Orcs in the fluff are enhanced Orcs, but actually the Orc team performs better than the Black Orc one). If you like to be green, mean and bad, I suggest to play Orcs.
Shambling Undead are a solid team too, well suited to the low TV format created by this awful ruleset.
You're welcome, enjoy your games!

@MattDakka I know that blorks are tier 2, but it is one of these teams that... I don't know. Shoot dopamine straight into my brain, hence why I would stick with them to some deegree regardless.

Well, if you enjoy Black Orcs, play them. I suggested Orcs over Black Orcs because in your other blog you said you wanted to lose fewer games.
I'd say that Black Orcs boost your WAAAGH! energy. :P

Good on you! Black Orcs are a high-ceiling, low-floor team at low TV. I think they make a great alternative to Orcs, so long as you don't take the learning curve too seriously.

With Season Re-Draft they are not worth the effort, in my opinion.
They really need a good ball carrier and some skills to make up for the weak starting roster.
Season Re-Draft makes hard to keep the skills and the freak ball carrier.
That said, if you like to play them, do it. Just don't expect too much from them.

I'd be interested in making Black orcs MA5 and orc big 'uns MA4.
But the re-draft & makes it all less fun IMO.

In my opinion, Black Orcs should have MA5 (dropping either Grab or Brawler) and Big Uns MA4.
Yes, the Re-Draft makes tier 2 teams even worse and tier 1 teams even better.

Its better to let the emotions out and feel them than suffocate them.
Also better to shout it out in the void than in some poor opponents DM.
Its nice to see that you got so much help from the community.
Good times and good games VonTarkin!
