Maybe I'm missing something because yeah this still looks like a tier 1 team to me... with the iron hard change and mutation on centaurs, I don't know that this is worse than the current roster. Losing tackle hurts them a bit, but in most of the matchups where that mattered, the centaur is the more important piece anyways. |

Down six tackles, and two blocks. Up two MA.
Meh. |

Do I think this roster is worse than current c'dorfs? Yeah, losing some block pieces and all the tackle is bad. But this roster still looks fine honestly. If c'dorfs hadn't been a thing before and this just got released, I don't think anyone would be complaining about them being bad.
Stabbas though are such a waste of positional it boggles my mind they actually released them like this. They are so terrible. |

Agree with everything there Drrek. Still good, even if a bit worse. They may be better than before at mid TV with the huge buff to iron hard skin improving their bash matchup.
But yeah, this one is so weird. Would have expected sneaky git or diving tackle instead of shadowing. |

Also, Shadowing should be buffed a bit.
Shadowing: D6 + Shadowing player's MA - Moving player's MA >= 6.
Change the formula with 5 instead of 6.
Shadowing sucks, no reason to use Stabbas for it. |

I'm happy for teams to have players available that many coaches think are crap. No-one is forcing you to hire them. As for player pricing, that is a keen issue in Blackbox (because of TV-matching), but may not be such an issue in other environments. |

Sure, nobody is forced to hire overpriced, sub-obtimal players but, when a roster is updated, people have expectations about the new positionals and these ones honestly are disappointing. |

Doesn't the iron hard skin mean that claw, mb/dp +1 and mb/dp +2, chainsaw +3 no longer apply to an av 10+ team?
seems amazing in certain settings and probably will have it's place in tabletop tournaments and local league settings. |

Yeah, i think the roster is weaker at low TV but that buff to IHS might actually make them better at mid to high TV. |

They do not look tier 1. They were already nerfed a lot in this edition with no CPomb or BT and now they lose Tackle. They might be Ok still, but they are definitely not top tier. |

And offensive foul assists. It's ok at high tv, but it's only on 4 players, and firesmiths are terrible.
Losing 6 tackles and 2 blocks for a tiny bit of survivability is horrendous for tabletop.
They were already constantly mistiered in NAF tournaments, maybe now they will be tiered correctly at least, because they are not good. |

This ^ also, they still don't have their troll back. So they have no good big guy. Plus Seasons will really hit this team hard redraft will be tricky to manage now you have 4 players with no block that you desperately need block on, while also wanting to keep your developed Blockers... |

I was wondering... does Iron Hard skin protect from foul assists as well? Technically, those are armor modifiers as well. |

Correct. The skill description says - opposing players cannot modify any armour rolls against this player. In addition claw has no effect.
So fouling assists don't work. It does mean Mighty Blow works on the injury roll however, as does DP. |
