Either way the Apothecary is going to be your first purchase to help keep death or injury at bay for your Wardancers. There is still 20k left in the bank which you can save towards an Apothecary, or get some Dedicated Fans. Wardancers are one of the best players in the game so it makes sense to start with both of them. This roster was one of if not the most common starting choice for Wood Elves. Loner (4+), Mighty Blow (+1), Stand Firm, Strong Arm, Take Root, Thick Skull, Throw Team Mate Wood Elf teams tend to score a lot though and with bonus winnings from touchdowns they should be able to make that back fairly easily. Your choices are much the same as before but with left money saved towards an Apothecary. However the prices changes haven’t really affected too much as all the lineups under the old rules tended to leave some money in the bank anyway. They are already at a disadvantage when it comes to creating a starting roster as all their players are quite expensive.

This is 12, some very small, bits of plastic for one very specific model build.There have been some slight changes to Wood Elf teams, the Thrower and Wardancers have gone up in price and the Catcher has lost Sprint.

Particularly, since this isn’t like the old Mordheim plastics where a sprue of parts allowed one to mix and match parts to create their own mercenaries. 12 parts to assemble one medium sized humanoid? That’s not clever.

I used to be impressed with GW’s plastics, but have recently fallen out of love, and this team underscores the reason. Even though a Blitz Bowl squad is only 6 models, essentially half of Blood Bowl team, the unnecessary complexity of their assembly has pretty much put me off of the desire to ever rebuild a full squad for Blood Bowl. Good grief.Īnyway, that was an old edition of the team several years ago…back to the new GW plastic. The team name was called out as ‘problematic’ or ‘questionable’ in a podcast, but I don’t think those podcasting had any idea behind the inspiration which has nothing to do with me advocating hate at Blood Bowl tables. Oh, the team name was also a nod with a reference to the song ‘Hatebreeders’, but done in the classic Iron Maiden font.
