If they had a player who started with Dodge it would have more merit. This can work for some teams, though High Elves lack many in built skill rerolls outside of passing options. There are even more alternatives such as starting with no rerolls to get all your positionals at the start. It is quite like you will go for one of the above options. This is why I prefer the three reroll team as future development decisions are much easier. It is then also tricky as to if you want to save up for the Catcher over getting some more Linemen each time.

This is where the cost of starting with two rerolls comes in. There is a slight dilemma afterwards though as you could do with that third reroll but you also could do with getting some reserves.

It also has 10k left over which you can put towards an Apothecary after the first game and not starting with a full 1 Million may upset those teams that don’t spend all their starting money hoping to get an advantage from inducements.Īgain an Apothecary is your priority for purchases. The advantage of doing this though is that you get two Catch skill rerolls and even more speed on the team. Taking the three reroll team means you can add the Catchers one at a time and hopefully get that one their first skill before you add another. The Catchers may also really hog the SPP, though they need to so they can get some protection skills. The downside apart from having one less team reroll is that you add two of your lower armoured players to the team before you get an Apothecary. This means that you can start with two Catchers in addition to the Blitzers and the Thrower. Like the first example, if you only take two rerolls that gives you an extra 50k to spend on “upgrading” Linemen. Two Reroll TV1000 High Elf Starting Roster: Quantity If you do take the roster as suggested though then an Apothecary should always be your first purchase, after which you can start adding in some Catchers to the team. Even a basic High Elf Lineman costs more than an Apothecary so it could save you some money (though you lose out from the doubling cost of that dropped reroll). You can make an easy variation from this roster by dropping one reroll for an Apothecary from the outset. Not having Catchers also means you can concentrate on advancing the Blitzers who tend to see a slow down in SPP when the Catchers join the team. It will also let you slowly start getting them developed from completions. I prefer to get the Thrower, they have more armour than a Catcher and won’t be the SPP hog a Catcher will. You can then either save that 20k towards an Apothecary, or use it to start with either a Thrower or Catcher. As Block is the most potent against starting teams when their players are less likely to have it, it makes sense to start with both Blitzers.
BLOOD BOWL HIGH ELVES UPGRADE
Three Reroll TV1000 High Elf Starting Roster: QuantityĮleven Linemen and three rerolls comes to a total of 920k which leaves you 80k to upgrade some of those Linemen into positional players. There are really two base lineups to start with and slight variations of these will be how most teams are created. Or you can use the alternative of taking only two rerolls and have a bit more flexibility with what you create your team with. The changes to the rules have given you more options to actually get those rerolls and also have some positionals as well. Under older rules it was quite common to see a lot of High Elf teams start with just eleven Linemen as that was the only way you could afford to start with three rerolls and nine Fan Factor.
