When it comes to picking a team to use, I will generally go for the agile teams, such as elves or skaven. This can be risky as my teams are usually more squishy than most others, and usually only ever one bad game away from retirement. But on the plus, I have the ability to run rings round most teams.

When I think of Blood Bowl, I imagine something more akin to NFL games, where dedicated blockers clear a path for a speedy guy to run through, or passing the ball for someone to catch in some daring way. I find agile teams fill this picture well, as they are all about making that hole for the quick guy.

Don't get me wrong, i do dable with smashy teams, and yea it can be a lot of fun. I can see the appeal of having your team smash the opponent into the ground, and then when they can't stand up, simply walk the ball in for a touchdown. Teams like this put the Blood in bloodbowl, and without them, the game would be more boring.

But given the choice, when it comes to important games or leagues, its agile teams for me. It's their style that puts the bowl into the game, making the long passes and daring runs.
