Orcs are the most straight forward team in Blood Bowl. They
are one of the original ‘cookie cutter’ lineups that allow you to field a near
perfect roster at 1,000,000 tournament value.
Their advantages are obvious:
cheap strength and toughness in spades.
Eight positional players have access to strength and general skills
making them easy to develop and juggernauts at mid TV.
Weaknesses are also obvious- average speed, lack of real
agility players and a nonexistent passing game. Additionally, in perpetual
Match Making leagues they become outmatched by 1750+ Chaos teams. Claw/Might
Blow/Piling On turns your Orcs into AG3 Wood Elves. Claw is your enemy- and there really isn’t a
great way to fight it.

Throughout this guide I am going to acknowledge the
popularity of the various perpetual matchmaking leagues that FUMMBL and Cyanide
have created. These leagues allow teams to develop into 1750+ TV monsters
rather easily. Additionally, I will
offer advice on normal 8-10 person standard leagues that we all grew up playing
on the Table Top edition.
Let’s take a look at a few options for starting rosters.
