![]() ![]() When forming a team, you need to have a strategy. That is not to say that Star players are the critical part of the game plan – and that without them all is lost – but the Star Players for the pointy ones do contribute a lot to the team. So to get over the ‘only idiots rely on Star Players’ or ‘Star players are cheese’ is a quintessential part of the gaming strategy. Without them, the Chaos Dwarf team is shafted more than Chet’s undead – and that isn’t a little bit either. I openly admit that the Chaos Dwarf teams really require star players to be ‘up there’ with the best. Well, the answer is a little further than the simple statistics – it is the combination of the two types of player which make the chaos dwarves – with a lot of help from one source – Star Players. What kind of team is this? How can a team like this win? A scan of the stats for these players reveal that the blockers are exactly the same as the longbeards for the dwarves and the hobgobs are equivlent to human linemen without as much armour on! ![]() Stand Chaos Dwarf Blockers up at the beginning of the turn – they aren’t going anywhere much anyway.Ĭhaos dwarves are shunned by most coaches because a quick scan down their roster shows that they only have two players available – the Blockers and the Hobgobs.Move your turn marker on – at the beginning of every turn – check!.Move first – it’s free (unless dodging or you need to get someone out of the way first).Make all the important rolls first – and those which are probability friendly.Use rerolls only on rolls failing which leave you wide open (unless you have as many turns left as rerolls and have done all the critical stuff).Target the teams assets and remove them if this is an appropriate strategy.Use cards and wizards to get the ball (lightning bolt template please).Summary of general tactics particularly useful to Chaos dwarfs: Enjoy this mammoth tome :) It mght just fit, rolled up, in your hat – so I recommend keeping it under your hat :) I will summarise the most important points to general strategy with the team now – so that you can mull them over. There is much in the strategy of playing Chaos dwarfs which could be applied to any team – and indeed some of the information within is still applicable to some teams. Most of this document is exclusive to chaos dwarf coaching. Given the amazing (even to me) correlation of Chaos Dwarfs to league win ratio when I’ve been coaching them – I have decided to spill my beans and write the exhaustive tome on how to coach Chaos Dwarfs. I think that a primary reason (not the primary – but contributing) is that other players are not used to playing against the Chaos dwarfs and the element of suprise counts for upset win again and again. I’ve never thought of my Chaos Dwarf teams as the most successful teams I’ve coached – but over my entire 3rd Edition Blood Bowl coaching career – of the three times I’ve coached Chaos Dwarves – I’ve won the league three times. ![]()
