I don't see any good reason to play them competitively. Gobos are still stunties, even with thick skull - if you have to roll it on a stuntie, you are doing it wrong.Īll in all, they are just crap lizardmen. Troll is one of the bad ones, not as bad as Minoturd, but not great either.īlack orcs make bad blitzers with slow speed and lack of block at the start. Having stunties as positional is terrible- this team can be compared to lizards, but lizardmen can reposition to protect skinks because of their speed and got best big guy in the game as another plus. It is difficult for imperial nobility as a new team with only 1 passer to have a pass gameplay, bashing gameplay is also hard wjen you miss 2 Bodyguards.īlock is number 1 skill in this game, so having no players with it vs 4 is huge. On the other hand i think imperial nobility lacks power and/or passing ability. Thick skull goblins+regeneration trolls and serious black orc who can do 1v1 against lizardmen is a killer and compared to other teams less chances of injuries. What snowdog said is true for the goblins they can stick more on the field with thick skull and can be throwed by the troll + regeneration troll. Only drawbacks compared to orcs normal team is no block and the new skill they got is just not so good and with this skill you hesitate to take block as first skill on black orcs (a must have on at least 2 imo) I disagree, you have 6 potential blitzers with 4 strenght 1 troll who can deal serious damage. Regular orcs are good because they have zero stunties (unless gobo 1turn memes) and 4 players with block. Thick skull is a meme skill, especially on a stunty. Semi-stunty, slow, not really agile, doesn't start with a lot of good skills. Originally posted by Hairy Coo:It's a crap team. I am curious to the thoughts of others who have played as Black Orcs. A lot less player types for sure, but maybe in this case, that is a good thing. But I can see myself playing as Black Orcs quite a bit now. Since I started playing Blood Bowl, back in 1986, I have mostly played as Human, my favourite team type being Human League. Most of which were earned by the Goblins.Īt the end of the second match, I had enough winnings to buy a troll. I won convincingly in every match, which led to a lot of SPP. I played against Humans, Elven Union and Dwarfs. They are punchier, and more mobile than regular orcs as a team. They tend to stay on the pitch a lot more, and not end up in the dugout like normal.

The Black orcs themselves are very punchy, even against Dwarfs.īut what surprised me, was how good the Goblins are, compared to regular Goblins. Only having 3 types of player to choose from, I thought things might be limited, but surprisingly I found that was not the case. I have just played as Black Orcs for the first time, and I like them.
