Hi. I'm new to BB but i'm totally hooked! Played 4 games so far in a league and i've won more than i've lost. Been reading this site for tips otherwise i'd have been stuffed.
I've agreed to have a go in the WPS team tournie in Nottingham next month. Decided to leave out the Rat Ogre as he's too unpredictable. My team is:
StV (x2)
GuRn (x3)
Th (x2)
Ln (x7)
RR (x3)
FF (x1)
I should mention that we're playing 5 games. Team re-sets at the end of each game but fatalities/serious injuries lose their skills. You still rolls for skills etc but you allocate these to your team. Undecided whether to swap a couple of Linerats for another Runner.
Any tips/advice would be appreciated
1st tournie - Skaven

Don't play Skaven. Under WPS rules any casualties lose any extra skills. So an apoth is better than a 12th player.
Even so, I'd recommend you do take the Rat Ogre, you can give him Block after the 1st game so you've got 4 games with him being reliable. You'll need the strength to break up Orc teams with 4 Blocking BOBs.
So I think I'd be tempted by
5 Line rats
2 Throwers
2 Storm Vermin
2 Gutter Runners
1 Rat Ogre
Apoth
1 FF
3 TRR
That gives a spare player, an apoth and plenty of muscle. Progression - Block on the Rat Ogre, Kick on a line rat, Block on GRs, Guard or Tackle on the SV.
