As your players earn skills and you get enough cash to buy Star Players you can take the team in whatever direction you like. This means that if you are playing in a league you get a clean slate to start developing your team with. So the Chaos team has players which are good basic allrounders and particularly adept at breaking heads. The main advantage of Beastmen is that they are relatively cheap so they can be used to pad the team out and to replace losses. Other than this, the Beastmen have to fill in for all the other duties on the team - Thrower, Catcher, Lineman, etc as best they can. The Beastmen are less well armoured than the Chaos Warriors and a bit quicker, so with the help of their horns they can do some blitzing and chase opposing Catchers around in the backfield. The only real downside to Chaos Warriors is that you can't have more than four in your team and they cost the earth to recruit! Though their slowish Movement of 5 stops Chaos Warriors being real Blitzer types they can still outpace the Blockers from other teams and once they've got the balls they're very hard to stop. Chaos Warriors have Strength of 4 and an Agility of 3 which makes them exceedingly tough players who can punch out most opponents, handle the ball well and dodge with a good chance of success, unlike the Black Orcs or Dwarf Long Beards they often end up facing. None! Natch! Zero! Nil!īut wait, the players themselves are quite good. This ability has nothing to do with clever stuff, it just makes them Strength 4 if they move at least one square while blitzing. There is only one skill possessed by these players and even that isn't a skill, its the physical ability Horns which is possessed by the beastmen. There are only two kinds of players available to a Chaos team: Chaos Warriors and Beastmen. After winning both the Spike Trophy and the Chaos Cup and getting to the semi-finals for the Blood Bowl, I must say that I'm delighted with my choice. Although I was tempted by the Orcs, I was eventually seduced by the lack of subtlety of the Chaos team and the mouth-watering selection of hideous monsters that will play for them. I wanted to play with a slower but harder team than Skaven, a team with players which didn't give me a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach every time they got blocked. After a long and succesful career as coach of the Skavenblight Scramblers I finally decided to hang up my running shoes and try something different.
