1. UW, Pact and Slann
2. FUMBBL Stunty Leeg Tzeentch team
3. A steam-powered automaton team. We need some sort of mechanical team!
4. Simyin. :)

Though I also agree with those that say our current group of rosters could use some trimming/editing.

1. UW, Pact and Slann
2. Bretonnian
3. Daemon team (Cyanide Khorne)
4. Simyin (used in some leagues and on FUMBBL)
5. The Allied Guild of Linemen (Babs lineman team)

The first two are already excepted in our league. We are discussing the other three with #5 having the most support.

Surely though the wizard can only be used for the first 2 turns, then after the first few turns of the second half?

Thanks for that picture, nice! Ddancer, there is a good consensus for the unofficial to be made official.

How about a Doppelganger team.

Probably human type statlines with a Doppelganger positional (0-6). When a Doppelganger removes an opponent from the pitch it may adopt that player's stats, not skills, they keep their own. If/when the opponent comes back on the pitch the doppelganger reverts to normal.

I think the Doppleganger is a creative idea, but could be seriously abused in the game, overbalancing it chronically.
