Don't always base up with your opponent, instead try to push your team forward one spot away from the opposition each time. Keep two tackle zones between each, one if you're playing tight up against a side of the pitch.Ģ) getting a littl too involved in the fight, forgetting to actually defend the ball, or move a team due to chasing kills. Ball tucks in behind/between said big guys. So, ork mistakes fall into three categories usually.ġ) tight cages that never move because opposition pins them in place - solution, loosen up the cage, have more of a circular defence using the 8 big guys and push it forward, better yet, an arc so you're not wasting guys at the back. Sometimes watching from the other teams persective can give you a good insight into what sort of positioning would have really made their game harder (And therefore your game easier) Sometimes getting the field into a position where they can't (Or need a fair amount of risk to) stop you sacking the ball carrier next turn is better than a lower chance to sack the carrier a turn earlier.Īlso for games you think you should have been able to win, go through the replay and see if you can spot anything you could have done differently to increase your chances of winning. The best advice I can give is rather than trying to steal the ball when the other team has it, pressure them into needing to score faster or risk losing the ball to you if they don't. There really isn't much more advice I can think to give other than keep trying, even if you are doing it right you obviously won't expect to win all the time.

You'll also find 2 turn counters, 2 coins, 4 balls (2 with sturdy spikes and 2 with a horned beast icon), 12 32mm Round Blood Bowl bases, and a transfer sheet. This multipart plastic kit contains all the components you need to build the Thunder Valley Greenskins, a Black Orc team for use in games of Blood Bowl. Incredibly strong on offence and hard to shift on defence, a well-managed Black Orc team is a fearsome thing to face off against across the Line of Scrimmage. Grind down the pitch, crushing the other players underfoot, until your Goblins are close enough to make a dash for the End Zone. If you like your plays rather unsubtle, this is the team for you. Teams like the Thunder Valley Greenskins have made a name for themselves with their impressive athleticism and discipline as much as their capacity for grievous violence. Even the trolls on Black Orc teams are well trained, which is an impressive feat! Well drilled in comparison to their peers, the little guys are quick to run the ball through any gaps the Black Orcs open up for them.

Their biggest weakness is a lack of speed – but that's where the Goblins come in.

Smarter, stronger, and more serious than their kin, they were tired of soaking up all the big hits and giving up all the glory. Black Orcs have been splitting off and forming their own teams for years now.
