Add halflings to the human roster!
(Yay topic 900) akhem, let's add 0-4 halflings to the human roster, just like orc have 0-4 goblins.
Halflings have been a great aid the the human empire since the early days of warhammer so why not bloodbowl? (Yes I know they are different universes)

Re: Add halflings to the human roster!
Voted no. A Goblin adds something to the Orc roster in general play. He is faster, has A access and dodges better. A Halfling adds nothing to the Human roster, he is just a cheesy option for the TTM OTS. I don't think that is fun or a desirable way to balance or improve the Human team (in terms of either fun or competitiveness).

Re: Add halflings to the human roster!
I'm with Joe on this one. The team already has highly mobile players with A skill access. Flings would only contribute the option of a cheesetastic OTT... (Yes Orcs get that option, but their fastest players are MA 6 with no straight A access other than the Gobbo)
If you're desperate for a Fling on a human team do like Nazgob did And bring along a Puggy!!!

Re: Add halflings to the human roster!
Yeah that's very true (both of you) I would just like the option, maybe as a stunty cage breaker. But your right speed is an issue. But orc win out against humans when it comes to strength, so they got a gimmicky fast guy. So shouldn't humans get a gimmicky strong guy? (retorical no they shouldnt, and the ogres doesn't count)

Would be nice for fluff purposes, but would just get abused as a OTT.

Re: Add halflings to the human roster!
Might be nice as a gimmick in all honesty.
The dwaves have the deathroller
The dark elfs the assassin
The wood elves have the treeman (depends on your point of view)
Goblins have all those secret weapons
And vampires are vampires (badum chi)
It wouldt see major use but if you had 2 flings or so it might be a nice edition.

Re: Add halflings to the human roster!
Ok, as a human coach, I'd just like to say a big YES to this.
And argue that the human catcher is awesome just as he is.

If you want a Halfling on the Human team ... induce Puggy.
