Hello all,
I'am new at this game and I don't know what team i should take. I usually play Skaven in Warhammer fantasy. How is Skaven doing in the BloodBowl League?

Ive just started a skaven team and i like them, they do tend to break a lot though. Humans or orcs are the standard teams for starting the game with, I would suggest trying one of them out first till you get the gist of hte game.

Play with what you like...

And, then play with all of them!

Orcs and Humans are the standard starters because their forgiving to new players. Skaven are quick and cheap but get injured in droves if you're not careful with them.

Undead, then at least you'll be able to say i remember when the Undead had Mummies?

Are the Skaven really as fast as they say they are? I once saw a gutter runner running through a line of Amazons, dodging three tackles and outrunning the rest of the Amazons. It was quite impressive to see, thats for sure.

As a newbie I'd recommend you start with humans or orc. However if you already know you really like a fast and vulnerable game then play skavs. You'll probably find a lot of your WFB stuff can easily be converted.

Yeah, they're quick. Won't do you much good on its own tho. The tradeoff is lack of hard hitters and low armour.

I recommend Humans to start with, always. If you find them slow, look at skavs or woodies. If you find them weak, try orcs or chaos. They'll help you find your natural game.
