New Roster Idea - Ethereal
So after watching lord of the rings, return of the king, i got an idea for a bloodbowl team! The bright green (?!) ghosts who come along at the end, and just move through everything. That's my basis. Also being a huge fan of old undead armies back from my warhammer playing days... anyway, enough waffle, the team (EDITED AFTER FEEDBACK):
So i know what you're thinking... Skeleton linemen, 4 Wights, 2 funky Woodelves, and... WHA? AG5?! AV 10?!!
so i'll explain the Ghosts. AG 5 with HypoGaze means a 2+ roll (representing their Terrifying nature) but no hands, so they won't just win instantly with the ball. also, ST 1, so they will get knocked down, but (unlike snotlings) with AV 10 and jump up, they'll probably get right back up again. scary huh?
Not really sure if their prices are right. Pretty different from all other players really! Feedback and constructive thoughts are welcome :)
0-2 Ghosts 6/1/5/10 A|GSP 70k
No hands, Dodge, Jump Up, Hypnotic Gaze, Regeneration
0-4 Black Knights 6/3/3/8 GS|AP 90k
Block, Regeneration
0-4 Banshees 7/3/4/7 GA|SP 100k
Disturbing Presence, Nerves of Steel
0-16 Spirits 6/3/2/7 G|ASP 40k
Regeneration
Team Rerolls 70k each

It feels wrong to me that claw turns ghosts into kebabs ;)

I like the theme and that you introduce some original positionals. I have no idea about the mechanics or cost of making a new race, though. But I think you should post this in the forum to get a proper feedback.

what would one do with the ghost? hypno gaze around the field... Sounds interesting

Give the ghosts stunty too. There should be nothing stopping them from floatng all over the field.

Yeah, stunty, or leap! AG5 and leap means pretty much go anywhere... Hmm.

To me it looks like a superior Vamp team. Why would you ever choose to play vamps rather than this team, except for fluff reasons?

Check with the pricing guide - http://fumbbl.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=20129
I would drop thick skull from the spirits, it just doesnt make sense to me. Or just call them skeletons and I think only 2 Ghosts would suffice and 4 banshees. So they would stand a chance against any claw teams.

I like the ghosts!
Why are spirits and banshees that easy to break? Giving them all AV 10 would be somewhat interesting.
You could also consider giving Spirits AG 4, but keep them at low MA. That would be something new!
Well, didn't really think about balance and stuff like that, I just like the fluff and the originality. :-)

Hm, one might argue that Spirits are easy to get rid off - but they will be back most of the time (Thick Skull, Regen). :-D

maybe at TV1000 this is a stronger vamp team, but then when the vamps start to get skills (practically any that they like!) my ST1, no hands ghosts, will still be on 0 spp.
i think the spirits might not need thick skull, and i think i meant disturbing presence instead of foul appearance for the banshees. i like that they would put others off, but be unaffected by anyone else. also maybe having 4+4+2 positionals is too many, so would probably drop the ghosts to 0-2... but then again they're the fluffiest part of the team...
Anyway, i think i've done alright! thanks for all the feedback people!!
