Black Orcs get it done. A brand-new team for this season of Blood Bowl, Black orcs combine the raw strength and toughness of the eponymous Black Orcs with Goblin Bruiser Linemen and a Trained Troll to make a layered team with both power and agility.

Of course, they can level up to get ball skills and play the game to win and stuff, but why, when the other team is all dead?

With plenty of high-strength and high-armor players, Chaos teams can both dish out the hurt and take it right back. The Mongrel Horde. New coaches be warned: there is no box for this team! The rest of the team suffers from animosity and a general lack of skills, making this team better for more experienced Blood Bowl coaches. Dark Elves. Credit: Games Waorkshop. Where other Elven teams tend to be a bit squishy, Dark Elves show up with good armor and some very hard-hitting skill players.

As everybody knows, Dwarves are methodical and dour in their approach to everything. Dwarf Teams in Blood Bowl are no different.

They are heavily armoured and extremely competent at fighting, but they severely lack in the speed department! Lightly-armoured teams suffer a lot of violence at the hands of the Dwarves!

The Baja Blasters Elven Union team. Simultaneously the most elite and the most plentiful, the Elven Union lineup is a tricksy blend of speed and skill with competent, relatively cheap linemen. They excel at the running and passing games, with a lot of unique starting skills on their positional players, but they have very weak armor overall and will get pummelled in a protracted fist-fight.

Score fast, score early, and learn how to cause turnovers, because this team needs to be on the ball in order to survive. A full Goblin team. Unparalleled cheaters and dastardly rule-benders, Goblin teams bring a frankly staggering amount of unique players, rules, and tactics to the Blood Bowl pitch. This makes them a tricky team for a new player, not only because all their special rules can be confusing, but also because as a Stunty team, they are one of the worst teams in all of Blood Bowl!

They have a ludicrous capacity for violence, however whether that is inflicted on their opposition or on themselves is often decided by little more than a coin toss! Halfings are absolutely terrible at Blood Bowl. They are, in fact, the worst second worst team in the game!

Halflings enjoyed a number of quite interesting upgrades late in the release cycle of BB, and some particularly talented or lucky coaches have piloted them to great success, but their combination of poor speed, terrible armor, and almost total lack of ability to hit opponents or throw the ball makes for an entertainingly pathetic spectacle. Halflings are another team that are always fun to watch, and usually fun to play, but definitely will not be lifting many trophies.

Th Reikland Reavers. Humans are extremely solid all-round players of Blood Bowl. This would in many other games make them an obvious choice for a new coach, however in a game filled with such varied playstyles, Humans actually require a lot of nuance to play well.

They will out-bash fast teams and outrun slow teams, and a skilled Human coach understands the tactics required for each. They are a rewarding team to master, and will teach you a lot about the game overall. Some Imperial Nobles. One of the newest teams to Blood Bowl, Imperial Nobility are as yet untested by the community at large. They appear to be a new twist on the old, unofficial Bretonnian Team roster, which employed highly skilled fast moving players supported by a line of hard-to-shift strong ones, all screened with unremarkable — but highly annoying, due to possessing the Fend skill — linemen.

Expect to see a team that fights a tough battle for board control before opening a path for their fast Noble Blitzers to charge through. Their solid line of up to seven high strength and high armour players screens a handful of tiny, vulnerable, but very fast little ones.

Necromantic Horrors. Necromantic teams offer a twist on the classic Undead lineup. They have more potential for speed and a slightly reduced potential for violence, but do not mistake them for being a soft touch. They got an updated roster with the BB version of this team, switching out the steadfast Wights for Wraiths, who enjoy a tricksier set of skills at the expense of losing the ability to play the ball at all.

Overall the changes to this team are modest, which means that Necromantic Horror teams are on track for being a solid all-round starting team with a lot of interesting potential in their development. For those not in the know, Nurgle is the Chaos god of decay, stagnation, and plague.

What does that mean for his favored teams? In classic Chaos fashion, Nurgle teams come with no ball-handling skills at all, instead focusing on meting out punishment and standing tall against the other team. Beware, though, Nurgle teams are just about the slowest in the game, so keep a careful eye on positioning, lest your opponents run right by you! At least Gnoblar are cheap!

That being said, Ogres are still a terrifying force on the pitch, and any smart coach will think twice about standing toe to toe against one. Old World Alliance. New coaches beware, though!

Da Red Fangz. Orcs are big, mean, and violent, and that makes them perfect Blood Bowl players! Their Blitzers are amongst the best in the game, and they can even take a smattering of Goblins and Trolls to help them make up for their deficiencies.

Shambling Undead. These classic Undead teams hit hard, move fast, and have the toughness to go the distance. Mummies are amongst the most fearsome Big Guys in the game, and Shambling teams back them up with speedy Ghouls and stalwart Wights.

This team is perfect for new coaches as it is one of the most forgiving teams on the market. Did we mention that an Undead team can get free Zombies if they kill an opposing player? For the uninitiated, Skaven are underworld-dwelling ratmen. Skaven can employ the fastest player in the game, the Gutter Runner, who, while fragile, outpaces even elves in a foot race!

They can also round out their roster with the terrifying Rat Ogre, an enormous and murderous giant that only wants to smash the opposing team. Buyer beware, though, as Skaven teams are generally one of the squishiest teams around, so do not expect to have many rats still on the pitch at the end of the game. Credit; Games Workshop.

Snotlings are tiny, stupid, weak, and convinced of their own superiority. Much like Goblins, the allure of the Snotling team is not winning games, but causing as much mayhem as possible, much of it confined to their own team! While being a ton of fun, Snotlings are a poor choice for new coaches. Sneaky stuff over here. What do you get when you cross sneaky Goblins, Snotlings, and Skaven with Chaos-magic infused Warpstone?

Finally, we come to Wood Elves. Generally despised by everyone except Wood Elf players, Wood Elves boast the absolute best players on the pitch on any pitch : Wardancers. These devilishly effective Elves can leap over intervening linemen to get at the more important ball carrier behind them, all while avoiding any damage themselves.

Take heart, though, as Wood Elves manage to combine being both very expensive and easily injured, if you can knock them down, that is. There you have it, Sports Fans!
