Joy and 1st disappointments
Finally Black Box is once again alive! And much more alive than before the FFB client! I love the amount of coaches participating and all the new guys too! The "44 coaches draw" was a blast! Also the ease of starting the game and "reloading" are super kewl!
Was fun to go through all my old box teams and look at the changes LRB6 brought to the rosters. Most noticeable changes were improved Khemri, yes, improved!, I do find that mov6 thro-ras, thick skull skellies and mov4 guardians are superior pack compared to the old roster. Then this Troll->Mino change in Chaos Dorfs, kinda hate that! I'm gonna go +av on my block guard multi-mino if possible.
The most frustrating change so far however is the new Nurgle, which seems to be rather different team than the old Nurgle Rotters. I mean come on, less movement, dacay on almost all players, no more horns, please.. Played one game and retired immediately.
Well, as a box player (1535 games played in the box out of total 2290) I will be your regular opponent. However I do feel I will need some lrb4 games from time to time.

Rotters are actually quite better now. All beastmen were turned into new rotters (5338 decay) but there is a new positional:
0-4 Pestigor 6 3 3 8 horns, regeneration
Basically the old beastmen, but with regen.
So in the end you get pretty much the same line up:
1 Beast
4 Nurgle warriors
4 Pestigors
2 Rotters
Also, all the players in the team can create new rotters, not only the beast. The problem is that new rotters are pretty sucky ;)
You should take a look at the rosters before dooming them

new rotters are sucky!? 5338 linefodder for 40k. that is nice imho. yes, decay means a pain for teambuilding, so that they will remain fodder. but you can get new fodder all the time due to nurgles rot.

@Reis & Zakatan: I meant my old nurgle rotters team was turned into sucky. I wonder why they didn't turn beastmen into pestigors then.

because possible 11 regen pestigors are way too many when the roster allows 4. And with regen it would take ages to go down to that allowed level.

can somebody enlighten me on the skill categories allowed for rotters?
G? and the others on doubles?

44 coaches draw? Not in the North American evening, I'm afraid.... More, "Come on, if you stick around there will be 4 of us, don't go to bed!"
