Well done for pushing yourself with a new team.
My tuppence worth of wisdom is to make it about the ball, threaten the ball so the opposition puts resources into defending that. Rather than in resourcing 3D blitzes, gang fouls, and general bashing n basing.
Strip ball I found of limited use in my BBT8 Skaven run. I invested heavily in a Strip Ball, Wrestle, Tackle, Dauntless Gutter Runner. But found that most often even if it knocked the ball loose I rarely had the chance to recover it and score.
That contrasts with my box UW, where my mutant Legend GR is able to recover loose ball and consistently score against the run of play.
The low-TV skaven BBT squad just didn't have the X Factor to get away with similar outrageous moves. In fact we started loosing games when the TV got higher at the end of the run.

Well done, Buddy! A new team can be challenging, Im trying to understand Khorne my self. But thats why I enjoy this game ,learning different races.
About the strip ball gutter he is essential in certain matches and just a fast moving support piece in other. On offence I try to keep him close to the ballcarrier to steal the ball back if the carrier goes down.

@beanbelly yeah, thats about the same problem I had with strip ball. I guess it may come to a point when I have play more matches that I can implement strip ball in my gameplay but where I am now I just cant make use of it. And as U say, high tw skaven has alot more options to steal some matches and at the moment I got knocked down to 1025 in teamvalue due to being massacred in last game so I dread for the next match lol :)
@sirvejlance haha well, you and I have spoken about the strip ball earlier but I just have to put it aside until further notice but I keep checkingyour matches and maybe, just maybe I can get the hang of it some day. I have also tried your assymetrical setup in some games and Im not 100% sure when to use it has some advantages for sure. I need all the advice I can get!

Can resist commenting on the asymmetrical setup. I sometimes do that and tbh the main reason is to try and gain a psychological advantage by making my team look like it has a cunning plan..

Can? Or more correctly Can’t
