Completed Blood Bowl: The End

Your game against Wanimals 2 was much better than mine. 
Sustained 5 injuries, two of them deaths. Rerolled one death to a smashed hip..
First game ever with my norse team. I think I might have to start it over.

Bro it's a bad idea to fight Chaos for SPP farming. Seriously. They're dangerous and very unproductive. I'm deliberating whether to keep challenging this guy or not - but honestly - Chaos is like playing a super high defense team. A one-TD victory grind is the best outcome while a draw is acceptable.
Your AV 7 is just gravy for his mashed norse potatoes.

Yeah, well it was the only forthcoming invite in the feeder league, so I took it. Was a painful, but entertaining lesson. 
He's already joined the Live Season as Orks, you're playing with a feeder league team - the metagame changes for him.
If he loses - no big loss. If you lose - you lose big. :X Let's play later? I'll wake up at 6. I'd recommend you go for Orcs since it's the safest option for starters.
You might get outmaneuvered like Ulminati said, but you'll rarely get slaughtered.

Orks tend to be the slaughterers rather than the slaughteree

Yes. That's 91 casualties caused in 22 games. Not counting crowd surfs.

So how many preseason matches left, RK?
2-3 more. I'll stop at 10 or 1400 TV. Whichever comes first. We can hit 1450 TV, just ditch the Apothecary and buy it later.
Deadline for Pre-seasons is 10th Feb - there's no limit to how many matches actually.

As for Xenomorph, the safe choice is to give him block. That makes him useful even when he hasn't got the ball and helps protect him if someone makes it past your defenses for a 1-die blitz.
You could go with safe throw too. I'd get it on an elven passer, but it really depends on how much of a passing game you want to play versus a running one. It'll be handy against the dwarves.
Nerves of Steel/Dump off are both ok. But NoS is more fun once you got block and safe pass. Because then you can have your thrower walk up and mark an enemy before passing the ball to a receiver (and rolling snake eyes and failing in a hilarious fashion). Dump off is the better defensive option imo, although it requires you have a reciever within quick pass range.
Don't bother with leader. Human RRs are cheap.

All blitzer spots were taken, also I like standing on the Line of Sacrfice and knowing all too well that as a Lineman I am completely disposable.

Blitzers get to murder lots of things.

Good blitzers
Brother None should be playing like #31, but he is playing like old #25

Looking forward to actually getting my orc team rolling. Yes. That's right. I ditched the Norse after a horrid feeder league match against the same chaos opponent RK47 has been up against three times. Too many injured, no skillups. I felt like playing a more bashy team, that isn't as frail.

Possibly. My orcs have been accepted into the feeder league now, so we can match off without facing disqualification.

- Your BoBs will need skilling asap. Blocking without the block skill is always a little unreliable, so the sooner you get that, the better. (you could go for MB or guard too if you're MANMODE). This means make sure your BoBs throw 2-dice blocks once the critical move for the turn is over and hope to cause a few CAS. Once the BoB gets the first skill or two they become really solid cornerstones of your cage. If the other team fucks up a kick-off roll and the ball scatters off-pitch, consider giving the ball to a BoB. Ag2 sucks for picking up the ball. but if you have a full 8 turns to grind a cage to the endzone, a TD is a great way to get your BoB skilled up. (works even better on lizardman saurii). Remember: Get a few SPP - any amount will do - on each of your BOBs ASAP. That way, as soon as the MVP lands on them, they can get a skill and stop being a liability.
- Your blitzers are going to be your main playmakers as an orc. I like to get a 50-50 split of guard and mighty blow on them assuming no stats or doubles are rolled. Normally I'd recommend tackle on one of them to take out Blodgers, but looking at the league you and RK are in it's Dwarf Heavanz. Strip Ball on one blitzer will serve you better. It's going to be handy for those deperation blitzes on the enemy thrower.
- Be careful a clever coach doesn't isolate your troll. always have a player next to it before trying to give it orders. 4+ really stupid rolls hurts like hell. If your troll DOES get isolated, consider if he's standing in a useful spot. If you don't give him any orders, he won't have to roll really stupid and will retain his tackle zones.
- Always keep one or two players (I prefer a blitzer) a bit back from your formation to intercept enemy catchers if he tries to get them in position for a long pass.

I'd go with safe throw. When I play humans, I like to have a good passing game around when I go up against heavier teams.

Heh. RK47 and I did a short match this morning in the "Auld world" league (the default one). Before the very first kick, we got the "thrown rock" event, killing one of his dwarf blockers outright!
Out came the medic. Same result.
He had to concede the game before the first half stopped due to him being at work and not being able to make his moves within the allotted time, so the game hardly counted. But that very first action...
His dwarf was named Jaedar...

And Pre-Season 8's guest team will be ---- Cha-oh-amazon.
A nice welcome change of scenary as tits, ass and thigh will be on display instead of goats and burly chaos men.
A bright, sunny day for Bloodbowl.
Knights choose to receive.
Both fans are excited about this one. Let's see some good game today!
Ball needs a bit of covering as it lands near the line. Gondolin and Brother None obliges, as Humpalekka gets in a defensive position.
Whitewolf initiates a crowd push - Carmen Ibanez caught off guard! She's off the pitch after the second push!
Xenomorph scoops it up!
Takes it away safely. The weather is harsh on passing today, the sun getting into the eyes. There might not be any passes today. Turnover.
Amazons blitz Whitewolf.
Only manage a push. Whitewolf stands firm.
Not on the second block string. Turnover.
Whitewolf gets up.
Humpalekka will try to slow down the Amazons as the ball makes a move towards the right field.
Jaedar blitzes to form a curtain.
While Hellraiser and LundB knocks a linewoman down each.
Angelo is free, so he gets to move forward to present a scoring threat on the next turn.
Turnover.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
Humpalekka gets carried off the pitch, his hand smashed. Nothing permanent, but he will miss the next game. We'll miss him. No, really.
LundB gets stunned while Whitewolf tries to handle two women but failed.
Turnover.
Gondolin sets up an assist as the cage advances.
Blitz by Brother None to knock down the offending woman.
Azira offers Angelo an assist...
Taken gladly!
Oh my...she's dead. Turnover.
Hellraiser gets pushed. More players marking Azira, Angelo as the girls fail to dislodge the Whitewolf.
One of them decides to dodge out instead.
Finally they get Whitewolf down. Turnover.
Jaedar pushes to clear a path for the ball.
Gondolin gets into assist position...
Sarah Connor sent flying, clearing a path for stabby and Xenomorph.
Looking good. Turnover.
Angelo messes around n forces an Amazon reroll. He gets knocked down on the second try.
As another amazon attempts a dodge, Hellraiser tackles her down - ending their turn prematurely!
Knights could just touchdown here - but what's the rush, we can grind these bitches down now with our number superiority!
As Whitewolf knocks out another!
Jaedar only gets a push. Turn over.
An amazon dodges out succesfully and marks the ball carrier.
Here it comes...
stabby stops her cold. Turnover!
Looks like it's time to score, folks! When suddenly -
A lightning bolt hits Xenomorph stunning him! The ball dropped! The amazons afforded a wizard!
What's worse, another amazon gets the ball!
She's heavily marked as Jaedar tries to break more armor, but failed, damn bikinis.
Even the great Whitewolf can't get a killer blow in.
Stabby with a blitz to dispossess the ball carrier.
Failed, even with a reroll. Just a push.
Brother None repositions himself.
Turnover.
A blitz on Angelo! He's down!
Ball carrier dodges out -
And fumbled a pass due to the Very Sunny weather! Turnover!
Brother None to clear the area around the ball.
Reroll.
Down!
Azira gets into an assist position.
Whitewolf can't take out Sarah Connor.
Xenomorph with a dodge in and a pick up...
Makes a dodge, but failed the pick up. Turnover.
Amazon blitzes!
She couldn't go the distance and slipped! Turn over!
Golden chance here for the Knights...
Great start, Xeno!
Reroll!
MUCH better. Another amazon carried off the field.
Whitewolf is a knockout among the ladies.
All dangers cleared! It's down to Azira to score now! LAST PLAY OF THE HALF!
Pick up is good, go Azira, go!
Yes!
A golden opportunity squandered!
Xenomorph takes a blow during the subsequent turn, but nothing of note happens as the half ends 0-0 courtesy of a last minute slip by the star catcher.
Are we going to pay for that slip later on? We'll see...
