Blood Bowl

Amazons have just had a huge shake-up, and all the rosters and received wisdom that has worked for years has all been torn-up.  But never fear, in this guide, we are going to give you the complete low-down on how to build your new Amazons for both League and Tournament play.
Humans might be one of the oldest races in Blood Bowl, but with their hybrid playstyle and average stat lines, it can be difficult working out exactly how to build them.  Not only that, but BB20 brought a couple of big changes and new options, so in this guide we’re going to run you through all the positionals, builds and skills to get you ready for League and Tournament play.
The Norse roster is one of the most recently updated in Blood Bowl, and you now have more ways to build your team than ever before.  In this article we’re going to take a look at some of the best builds for both Tournament and League play. 

When talking about tactics in Blood Bowl we often divide teams up into four categories:  Bashers, Agility, Hybrids, and Stunties.  Each of these categories tend to have fairly consistent qualities that determine the approach to how they should play the game to succeed.  For Bashers, we generally find slower teams with higher strength, armour and blocking ability, but with less effective ball handling skills and lower movement and mobility; and for agility teams the opposite is generally true.  Hybrids can generally play either style depending on their opponent, while with Stunties anything goes!  As with any broad category there are many nuances and variations within those groups, but for players looking to start out and understand the solid basics of play for their team, this approach works well.

In this article we are going to look at the fundamentals of offensive play for the two most prolific and polarised types: Bashers, and Agility teams.
