![]() ![]() ![]() Random skills was something that I’ve been experimenting with, most of the Strength and General skills are fairly useful, however for this build I think you want to concentrate on getting specific skills. The lower your team value the more times you can afford Bribes or other inducements. All of them could be useful but it takes ages to get enough Star Player Points and the extra team value isn’t really worth it. I think the same thing applies when it comes to getting stat increases. If you really wanted to then both Dodge and Side Step can be useful, though Dodge is negated by Tackle and you can take Stand Firm sooner and for less team value than Side Step. Black Orcs are slow to get Star Player Points on most of the time and there are so many useful general and strength skills to take. Negating Stand Firm, Fend and Wrestle are all useful options and being able to force a pushback can help open space or funnel opponents to the sideline in combination with all your Grab players.įor secondary skill choices I don’t think there are really any that are worth the time or additional team value to sign up for. Alternatively if you’re using you Block Black Orc to do most of your blitzing then Juggernaut is a skill I’ve found useful (though I also didn’t have Block on my team). It also stops teams pushing you aside to open gaps. It combines especially well with Guard if you’ve taken that. ![]() Stand Firm comes in useful to stop opponents pushing you away, either forcing dodges or leaving you in base contact to hit them next turn. Rookie Gutter Runners would also be a target (though they tend to get Block of Wrestle very quickly) and it’s not uncommon for most Elves to take Dodge as their first skill. Combining it with Block makes them even more threatening to players who have started with, or have only taken Dodge, such as a lot of the Amazon team and Stunty players. I quickly found that you need to take some Tackle on the team as you don’t have a natural and easy way to get Wrestle instead. Offence was something that I found the team really struggles with if you get into any adversity.Īnother issue that I found with the team was dealing with opponents who have both Block and Dodge. Whilst this is helpful on both defence and offence, it really helps you score if there are less opponents to try and cage though. With that in mind Might Blow can help whittle down the opposition. You might want to just leave that for the Black Orcs you don’t take Block on first and instead concentrate on using this build to hurt the opponent. Guard will help you maintain your strength advantage and also help out the Goblin Bruisers on the team. The downside to taking Block is that it delays getting other useful skills such as Guard, Mighty Blow, or Stand Firm. This in turn can help them with development, which with their low movement and agility can be a bit slow. It will also get you more knock downs when facing up against opponents that don’t have Block (or Wrestle). My players have been knocked over a few times when opponents have tried an uphill block against my Black Orcs due to the lack of a better option.īrawler also doesn’t prevent turnovers completely, so having Block does make them more reliable. The downside to Brawler instead of Block is that it leaves you more susceptible when the other team is hitting you. Brawler gives you some cover when performing blocks, especially as you usually are rolling two block dice with your high strength. Primary: Block, Guard / Mighty Blow / Tackle, Stand Firm / JuggernautĪs Black Orcs start with Brawler, the need for Block is diminished a little bit.Two seasons without taking Block on them at all has certainly been interesting! Block Black Orc In the interest of science I’ve been experimenting with them for a few seasons in my local tabletop league. The biggest of these questions is whether you take the common Block skill, or if you want to delve into alternative options. This intriguing combination of starting skills asks some interesting questions when it comes to their skill development. This decision to spend more time with other Black Orcs sees them gain a couple of starting skills in the guise of Brawler and Grab. However these days they’ve decided to grab some of the tougher Grots and branch out to making their own teams. In previous editions of the game Black Orcs were part of the common Orc team roster.
