Talk Fantasy Football

Hi all,
I need ideas for buffing the ogre team (beyond what LRB5+ did).
This is not a thread for discussing whether a buff is appropriate - this a thread to come up with ideas for buffs that a league could use, if said league had already decided that they wanted to do a buff.

Also note that this a thread looking for a buff - not a complete overhaul: Not an overhaul of the team and not a change to the core rules of the game. Cute as those may seem, they've got almost no chance of being accepted by actual leagues.
What I'm looking for is ideas that fit well with the fluff and look sensible and balanced.

It's time for round 3:
No new suggestions - so we proceed with the poll.

Thanks all

0-12 Ogres

Cheaper Ogres

+MA Snots

-Sure feet on the snots to start.
-0-8 Ogres

But i prefer the sure feet

Add: ...can be thrown as a longpass to TITCHY skill.

Or no -1 on the throw.

0-2 Gobo's to roster.

I prefer both.

With 0-8 Ogres it means you can technically get 11 Ogres onto the pitch with Morg and two Mercenary Ogres (though that's ALOT of inducements...). Which I like the idea of.

Or, alternatively, add a 0-2 Ogre positional, like a Maneater. Maybe remove Bone 'ead (he's learned the basics of the game during his travels) but add Loner (since he's also gotten aggrogant and thinks he can win the game single handedly). Basically the same as a normal Ogre, only more reliable.

Not sure about more reliable - I'd rather have bonehead than loner, but that's probably just me.

You can only induce/hire as many mercs as there are positions for, so maximum 8 + 2 stars (Morg and Brick Farth), thats 10 so it's close

Ah, drat.

I'd settle for Sure Footed Snotlings in any case. Would give the same more mobility, meaning more assists, easier ball control and possible ball retrieval.

And less dead snots. Atleast my tent to die on failed GFI's

Could just give General Skill access as well.

I've seen an Ogre team at TR 1.8+ but the coach has yet to roll a double, so no Block, Tackle, Sure Hands etc means they have no genuine security in off or def. This particular team doesn't scare me as much as it should.

Where as Blodging Sure Hands Snots (With DT of course ) Backed up by Block, Tackle & Break Tackle Ogres would have me a little more cautious in the way I would play that side.

Not too sure about more ogres myself.

But perhaps converts the 0-6 into 0-4 normal ogres + 0-2 positionals (runners, blockers or throwers, haven't decided).

0-8 Ogres would be silly. You could hide the snots effectively and against any team other than Skaven or Elves the Ogres would be unstoppable.

Personally I'd make ogres 0-16 along with knocking their re-rolls down to 60k.

No.

This myth always comes up and it really is nothing more than that, a myth
