Norse: I'll bring dwarfs too!

Norse wrote: I'll always use Dwarves if there's NAF points for grabs. Period.

Yeah. What he said.

Norse wrote: it must annoy him that I'm better looking and a better painter...

But you're shorter than him and have ginger hair.

I on the other hand am ugly as sin and can't paint anywhere near as good as either of you so who am I to talk?

I think Woody and Del probably played last night and Del used the Ironskulls to hand out a good spanking on our follicly inhibited friend.

Nah..we haven't actually played since the Wodell invitational..we've got some semis and the final to play, so we'll wait for some company and take a team each or something, get it done in a day.
My record against LF playing Dwarves this season is a loss with Norse, a draw with Humans and a win with Delfs.
Just don't like playing with or against Dwarves...

I'd noticed....

You'll probably end up drawing me, Norse and Anca at the BB now...

I haven't got a problem playing against any race in particular.

I Farming hate them all!

I have trouble playing against Longfangs humans. He always seems to turn the result in the last turn of the match

Question about Star Players.

If (and that's a big if) I decided to take Haflem would it have to be the official model, or could I use a conversion (I mean, 2heads and 4 arms, it's not difficult to see who it is)?

Grumbledook · Post by **Grumbledook** » Sat Jan 11, 2003 1:15 pm

I guess conversions are fine, as long as its a citadel minature. If you have the proper one take him along as well just in case. Otherwise email andy and ask him.

Any ideas on how to stop Morg (or Hthark for that matter) with a standard team? That Str 6 and block just seems virtually unstoppable. Just (try!) to ignore him and get the rest of the team?

Darkson · Post by **Darkson** » Sat Jan 11, 2003 9:07 pm

my probable team list:

Skaven - Underdark Daggers

2 x Stormvermin 180k
Thrower 70k
2 x Gutter Runners 160k
7 x Linerats 350k
3 RR
FF6

Any comments from more experienced Skaven coaches?

(This would also be my starting roster for a league, though then I might drop the 12 player for a Apoth)

Grumbledook · Post by **Grumbledook** » Sat Jan 11, 2003 9:08 pm

tbh with you dunno how i would deal with them. Normally its a case of ganging up on them or pinning them down with another player. Thing is hthark has st6 break tackle so will need 2 players to just pin him and he can still then blitz away easily. Not having access to dauntless won't help either. Guess your best bet is to play your game and force your opponent to adapt rather than you changing your game plan. If they are blitzing a lineman then they aren't blitzing your ball carrier.

Longshot · Post by **Longshot** » Sat Jan 11, 2003 10:49 pm

Darkson:
I would take another gunter runner instaed of a linerat and less FF.
Rwould:
Put a lineguy on them. it only cost you 40/70k conpared to his high stars price. And be more carefull than ever.

Hum...

Since I had 2 player seriously injured, 1 badly hurt and one killed by the opponent fans, and I forgot the Ko's, I won't ignore the FF

LS: got your pm, thx a lot. WIll send you an email soon... GOt some ideas
