Longshot : Take your high elves to confirm your rank of the best high elf coach of the world !
I hesitate between Orcs (cos I'm painting them Black and Bone), Dark elf (to make better than T5), Humans(just like them) or goblins (A good vibration).

I'm between Lizards and dwarves... but now that more than 1 star is allowed I think I'll get dwarves... tackle is useful.

well i'm still torn as to what to take as well.

ORCS - because they're hard and roll throught the opposition but only have 11 models and no varag...

HUMANS - because of the versatility with them.

HUMANS WITH GRIFF - well i've got 12 models and griff so i'm thinking more like this but then there's going to be tons of orcs and humans around and i've never liked blending into the crowd that much so...

HALFLINGS - These little brutes are on the way to me all 13 of them. get a couple of treemen and get them painted up in time and away i go. Plus i've thought of a cool name for them...

The Green Bay Lunchpackers

well i thought it was cool at least.

so help me guys, which one to take?

I'm in with the Rollin'Greens! An orc team made of converted savage orc.

The Panic Street Creatures

ok then, well i've finally narrowed it down to the two teams of halflings and humans.

just ordered 2 treemen off GW and so they should be painted and ready come BB time.

oh well, i've got like a month and a half to finally decide i suppose.

Aren't you meant to specify which team you take when you send back the coupon?

McSnaga · Post by **McSnaga** » Tue Jan 07, 2003 3:32 pm

Yes but that doesn't have to be until 14/2 at the latest

l_dauguet · Post by **l_dauguet** » Tue Jan 07, 2003 3:34 pm

Well, i guess you've got the field advantage. Being in France, i don't really know what time it will take and i'd rather not tempt the devil

personnally i think you should stick with the halflings. Dont worry about painting the Treemen up, stick with 16 halflings.

I'll even let you play me first game so you can get of to na good start

Not that easy to get by this 1st round without a disaster ...mhmmm McDeath ?

Ancalagon · Post by **Ancalagon** » Tue Jan 07, 2003 4:09 pm

16 halflings... fouling each turn... MMMMmmmm

l_dauguet · Post by **l_dauguet** » Tue Jan 07, 2003 4:11 pm

That's one per turn. Aren't your eyes bigger than your belly? Beware of the little ones...

Id rather play a team of halflings than say Orcs or undead etc. The day i'd be worried about playing a team of 16 halflings is the day when i hang my boots up.

Defeat by them is a different matter, but 16 Halflings or a roster of 11 Undead etc, i know which i'd rather face.

plus you can only put 11 halflings on the pitch at once, to be able to foul you first have got to knock someone down, and then after my first drive you'd be lucky to have 11 players left to be still able to field

.

i dont underestimate halflings, i just beat them to a pulp

you shouldn't talk this way about halflings! if you do none of the halfling coach will bring their teams!!

(I was talking of fouling with my dwarf or lizard team, usually if you block often you don't have enough halflings to foul, but with 16...)
