Bob: “Years of warfare in Lustria against settlers and Lizardmen have created the strongest and toughest women in the Old and New Worlds.

Their exceptional blend of agility, tactical prowess, and penchant for violence means they are ideally suited for success on the gridiron!If they came with Sure Hands for the inbuilt re-roll on pick-up attempts, you’d see a lot more general utility. Combined with a 14-player roster, for when your paltry AV8+ breaks, you’re looking at an extremely solid team.

The new skills, stat changes and positionals are nice, but it hasn’t quite solved what I viewed as the team’s core problems.

I don’t see Animal Savagery as a big deal, it just needs to be managed appropriately, and that means some turns he will just have to stand and roar on his own. On the Ball makes them more of a reactionary piece than normal, so perhaps they envision some sort of defensive thrower that recovers and throws into space for a Blitzer to pick up later? He’s also extremely effective at setting the corner of your own cage, but he can also perform un-failable Blitzes (thanks to Animal Savagery ) to clear a path for your speedy Piranha Warriors. I love the Blockers, even at only 0-2, I think they’re going to really help the team get over their lack of Strength and I have some fun ideas on how to build them!Once your core skills are sorted, get Guard on the Jags – now that Blitzers don’t have S access you need to get it where you can – and maybe Frenzy on one of the Blitzers and Sidestep on the other.

If you compare the Jaguar Warrior to a Big Un Blocker from the Orc team who comes in at 90k gp, the Jaguar Warrior gets 1 more MA, AG, and Dodge for only 20k gp more.We're open for casual gaming as well as running our own events and are available for hosting independent events on the weekend. We’ll be discussing the changes as well in the future and what it means for the team in a separate article, as well as the Player Builds when we get to them. For beginners they are a good team, they are not really poor in any area and with the team being pretty cheap overall, you can afford a few skilled players and have a few dice rolls. It’s a shame they didn’t get a dedicated Big Guy as these can also add a lot of mechanical variation and character to a team, and though the new Stars do a good job of providing both of those, they will obviously see less field time.

I would have been more happy if some of the positionals, like the Blitzers and new Blockers, traded in their Dodge for Block and Brawler / Claw , respectively.

Frenzy is crazy good, as Ghidra said earlier, as they can step back from counter surfs with Hit and Run . They can’t really be any lower than that, because Dodge spam on everyone is still very strong, but losing all their Block players is going to be a major problem. You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings however, as described below under the heading " How can I control cookies?
