Shambling Undead – Again, no Zombies or Skeletons.
Necromantic Horrors– No Flesh Golems or Werewolves. Lizardmen – No football playing lizards currently. Halflings – No pudgy guys (aside from a ref), and no Treeman. Amazons- No female football players (aside from one Cheerleader who really gets into her work). There are a few teams that just don’t work right now using only the current generation of Games Workshop Blood Bowl miniatures. What teams just don’t work… In my opinion. You’ll want the option to add extra heads and arms as characters advance. You may want to have a lot of extra bodies around for modifying because this team has access to Mutations. Add in some basic goblins and a plastic troll. If you bought a second Skaven box to fill out your first teams requirement for Gutterrunners, then you easily can use the other Skaven for this team. This is also often considered a ‘Stunty” team and it is made up mostly of Goblins and Skaven (no Gutterrunners, but you do have Throwers and Blitzers) and a Troll. Technically, runts are even smaller and weaker than goblins, but no one would fault you for just grabbing a couple of those kits, either from the 4 pack or the team box, to fill out a roster.Īnother mixed up team that is easily made is the Underworld team. If you don’t do some heavy conversion, taking six plastic Ogres will leave your team a bit boring looking. It may be a bit of a stretch to say that you can build this team from what is currently available. Like the Chaos Renegades, you get a lot of big guys to pound your opponent with. This is on purpose, and stunty teams can give you a great challenge. Stunty teams are difficult to win with consistently because you just don’t have all the tools that most of the fully-fledged teams have. Ogres are what is considered a ‘stunty’ team… most of the players on the team are small (and in this case, very small). You need to go to Forgeworld to get the Minotaur (and they have other options for the Troll and Ogre as well). It is easy to get the Troll and the Ogre in plastic. (I’m serious about kidnapping here… no one on this team really gets along!) Yet, if you want to play the Chaos Renegades what you really want is three Big Guys on the field in every game. Similarly, you can take a Dark Elf Lineman and Skaven Linemen as well, you are looking at either kidnapping them from their team boxes (or the Forgeworld expansion pack for Skaven). They also have a Goblin, which is easily enough nabbed from the Goblin four pack. 
They use human linemen, for which you could use either the Chaos Warriors or linemen from the human team. Next is the most mixed up team of them all, the Chaos Renegades. You can play this team without them, but their absence will be felt on the field. Unfortunately, there is no current Blood Bowl model for the Bull Centaur (please, Forgeworld!). You can also pick up one of the Forgeworld Minotaurs for this team.
Take up to six of the linemen from the Dwarf team and paint them appropriately. The core of this team is the Chaos Dwarf Blockers, of course. As models, I’d use the Beastmen from the Chaos Chosen team.
They are Chaotic and they like beer, who doesn’t love these short and hairy guys? This team is made up of mostly Hobgoblin Runners. I wish I could paint my orks this well… Josh “Blasto” Harris’ Amazing Orks (Best Painted) (Super-heavy expensive in most cases, not a 40,000 point Ork-army expensive). I’ll be using a few resources, namely the Teams of Legend published on and the Blood Bowl Almanac (alternatively, you can also look at the Death Zone Season One and Season Two books that are collected in the Almanac).Ī bit of a word of warning here… since these teams are assembled from a variety of boxes, they tend to be expensive to assemble. In this article, I’ll be looking at the mixed teams that you can make from the above teams without conversions or modifications (Throw a unified paint scheme on them and go). So if you are looking for coverage over contents of the starters as well as the available add-ons for Orks, Humen, Scaven, Dwarfs, Elven Union, Dark Elfs, Goblins, Chaos Chosen, and Nurgle teams then look here. In my last article, I gave you a bit of an introduction to the positional players and the lowdown on the teams that are available directly through Games Workshop. Dolch here with your scoop on all things Blood Bowl.
