Krok Teams (house rules BB7s environment)
Posted: Fri Apr 19, 2013 9:59 pm
Hi guys
To give this a little context, our league's house sevens ruleset has a reduced number of teams and allows big guys. Most rosters are based on half positionals of the existing teams, but we've then consciously weakened several sides that are basically auto-win in a format that has no rerolls and no starting base contact (Dark Elves with 2 x block and 1 x Dodge MA7 starting players and with spam AV8, for example).

Sevens pitch: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/92588516/blood% ... 0pitch.pdf
In putting together the Sevens ruleset, I had an issue with the Lizardman team in that I don't think they justify the inclusion of 0-4 blockers (71.4% of the starting roster at ST4/5), but then nor to they warrant a knock down to 0-2 (42.8%), while 0-3 is very messy. Vampires were easy - we just gave them 0-4 and their coach can worry about the consequences - with with Lizards it's not so straightforward.
So, what do you make of the following concept roster(s) for BB7s? Would they fit in? Playstyle idea is that they use the Blockers to bash, while the linemen are a sort of sweeping safety positional that acts as a hard counter to AG opponents. They get serious mobility from the Juveniles (essentially skinks) who, all the same, are few in number and need to be protected or are likely to get very squished indeed.
Option A:
0-8 Krok Lineman 6328 Prehensile Tail 50k G/ASP
0-2 Krok Juvenile 8237 Dodge, Stunty 60k A/GSP
0-2 Krok Blocker 4419 Prehensile Tail 80k GS/AP
0-1 Krok Leviathan 4519 Loner, Bone-Head, Mighty Blow, Prehensile Tail, Thick Skull 140k S/GAP
Option B:
0-8 Krok Juvenile 7237 Dodge, Stunty 50k A/GSP
0-2 Krok Lineman 6328 Prehensile Tail 50k G/ASP
0-2 Krok Blocker 4419 Prehensile Tail 80k GS/AP
0-1 Krok Leviathan 4519 Loner, Bone-Head, Mighty Blow, Prehensile Tail, Thick Skull 140k S/GAP
What do you think? Any ideas for improvement to the roster?
Cheers!
