Ah! i'm only kidding. I've no doubt that someone will win a fair few games with Halflings. but in all seriousness i have grave reservations on the teams ability to get far in the comp.

OK, now I'm going, I'm taking my Skaven, but is it worth taking Hakflem or Headsplitter? I've never played with either of them so I'd like some info from experianced coaches.

The reason is simple, halflings are one of the creatures people have more pity of, but H Elfs are stupid, proud, and easy to smash. Mmmm why don't you try H. Elfs again?

I would certainly not take Headsplitter - he is very expensive and limits too much how much you have to spend on re-rolls and gutter runners etc.

Hakflem is a matter of choice. I have played games where he was (imho) a waste of money whereas in other games he was a real play-maker and game saver. Play some test games and see what you think.

Most of my friends will take headsplitter. If I'm not wrong he is not affected by WA and can help on opening a path for runners. And he had tail (or I'm wrong again?) this helps a lot against elf teams.
At the end all depends on your way of playing.

dont bother with Hakflem just use an extra Gutter runner instead, take Headsplitter for the extra power up front, he's not effected by Wild animal, and is a useful acquisition for Skaven

i've only got 13 of the little blighters anyway so i'm having to fill out the positions with treemen. anyway they give a nice rounded feel to the game anyway.

and if you really want to get mauled by the small and insignificant hands of the halflings then by all means i'll play you.

p.s. this is my first competition like this and so i don't know what to expect except having a good laugh and a few more beers, maybe even falling down.

Take Headsplitter, the power of this thing alown should tip the choice.
Evil git, dont worry about the torni' it will be a great laugh! Just bring loads of cash for the StarWars pod racers

The pod racers are great! Me and Tashton spent a fortune on them at res'. It ended up as the losser of each race gets the round in.

Expect plenty of laughs, cursing and general blaming on weighted black blocking dice.

But overall making some great new friends.

I've got a feeling that the games will be drawn completely randomly, but if not i'll hound you out for that match up. 3 Treemen against 3 Mummies and a Vamp, should be bruising.

3 mummies you cheating before we have even got there
