Noob Tactics #8 Team Construction - part three – exceptions
If you have not read my last blog entry then you should read it first to understand this post.
In my last post I had many complaints that I may steer many people wrong with my recommendations for making a team. They said (correctly) that some teams are just fine with all linemen in the beginning, some of these teams are: elves, wood elves (but I think you should have a treeman to take some of the LOS heat of your elves), high elves, and dark elves. I think I got them all; if I missed any, please tell me in a comment

You may want to add Chaos to that list. Starting with 4 re-rolls and all beastmen is a common setup.

no offence inteanded to anyone, but I wouldn't use that setup. But, I also wouldn't get all four chaos wariors at first.

Keep blogging mate :) We will see how you will reconsider the former tactics posts later. Old blog entries disappear. So when you get more experience, Noob Tactics will be more-and-more useful :)
Those who are very smart and experienced could write better guides (BTW only one I saw so far: Windex's Lizardmen guide). Do that and don't blame new coaches who find enjoyment in discovering BB.

all-beastmen chaos build for the long run are common. Usually in less than 10 games you can hve the full set of Chaos Warriors and the big guy. And starting with 4 RR is big, because they get so expensive later on.
It might be a pain to win the first 3~4 games but i think it's worth it.

also, team building changes quite a lot in FFB, where you can use 70~90k on getting better positionals or re-rolls instead of wasting in FF

@macavity
ah, yes a bit of an oversight of mine
P.S. in the new client my all marauder pact team is going to have to play those flings

Just wanted to point out that fumbbl has a great help page for new coaches that breaks down each team and has the most common starting line ups as well as general advice for each race:
http://fumbbl.com/help:RaceStrategy
But keep it up Sniper, Fumbbl needs more coaches that are willing to take the time to help get newbies up to speed, it lowers the chance that they get frustrated and never come back.
