Dark Elves 1150
Playing a Dark Elves team for the first time and a resurrection event with 1150 spend
6 skills to start , 5 normals 1 double...
Just want some advice on team building as I think I am headed in the right direction but having never played Elves I wanted to double check.
2 witch elves £220
4 Blitzers £400
6 lineman £420
2 rerolls £100
1 coach £10
£1150 total.
Skills I was thinking:
2 x block on witch elves
1 x sure hands on a blitzer
1 x diving catch blitzer
1 x Hail Mary pass
Thoughts ? Should I be taking dodge on the blitzers and guard or will Hail Mary diving catch be worth a punt

Re: Dark Elves 1150
I like to take at least one Wrestle witch and us, dodge on the Blitzers is better than HMP+diving catch. The passing game isn't the teams strength.
Upgrade a lineman to a runner for the price of the coach and give him leader.

Re: Dark Elves 1150
Yes at least one Witch with wrestle is really good to take down those Blodgers.
Dodge on Blitzers and for the double you should consider guard on a Lineman or a Blitzer.
I don´t think sure hands is necessary for a 2+ pick-up.
I also would probably only take one Witch.
Skills:
Wrestle on Witch
Guard on Blitzer (Double)
Leader on Runner
Dodge on the other Blitzrs

Re: Dark Elves 1150
I think this comes down to your style of play. I know that you like dodge for the runner Kfoged, but I didn't like it due to the fact that I rarely used it.KFoged wrote: Or just go dodge on the runner
I found that I dodge more with the linemen and hence found that leader was more effective.
My roster is also a bit different (used in a tournament without a double skill)
4x Blitzers (2x Dodge)
Witch (Wrestle)
Runner (Leader)
5x Linemen (2x Block)
2 x RR
1 FF
Apo
However, Kfoged is the one with the NAF trophies etc, so I wouldn't take his advice lightly and I'm yet to try his roster (which I will someday)

I was using the leader runner and it just felt wrong. I was close to totally stop using the runner when playing DE, but now with dodge he may be one of my favourites

I would think that Leader allows you to cut a TRR and take an apoth instead. Which will have greater value in keeping a positional on the pitch.
I also resurrected this thread to hear how the event went.

Kare took Delves on Saturday and did very well
![;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
Biscotti didnt arrive until Sunday (by which time Kare had swapped to Lizards) managed 5 points (3/1/0 for win/draw/loss) from 5 games. Quite good for his first competitive event.

TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.
Bribe level: good coffee.
