So I'm seriously considering starting my first team in the next upcoming season in August.  I've maybe played 5-6 games of bloodbowl period over the last 5-6 years so I'm woefully out of practice.  I'll be playing Skaven, which probably isn't the ideal learning team due to their low AV.  But hey, I'm a sucker for punishment and Skaven were my first Fantasy army that I started with about 14 years ago.

I decided I'll probably start with an apothecary to try to minimize some of my better players (stormvermin and gutter runners) from leaving the game early.  I won't bother wasting it on linerats as they're a dime a dozen.  My largest concern is the lack of players as I'm at 11 exactly so every casualty will hurt, but I'm of the understanding that most teams have this issue when they first start out.  I'll likely buy a few more linesmen before investing in 2 more gutter runners.

So with that here's my starting team:

6 Linerats

1 Thrower

2 Gutter Runners

2 Stormvermin

3 Rerolls

6 Fan Factor

1 Apothecary

Looking forward to coming out this weekend and playing some bloodbowl.  I'm going to read the guide to blocking to get some insight on some of the tactics of this game as I understand the mechanics.

See you on the field!
