My Necromantic team, Negative Capability, has applied to join the league.
For those wondering, my starting team is
6 zombies, 2 wights, 1 flesh golem, 2 werewolves, and 3 rerolls.

If you want some scrimmage games, Sky, I'm game. It really is better to play human opponents, I think. I haven't even touched the Story mode though so I guess it could be really handy and I just haven't seen it.
I like that build, Emperor. It's tough not starting with two flesh golems, but it'll be worth it buying those two extra rerolls instead, I think. With Regeneration on so many players you're not likely to need as much of a bench anyway.

I'll probably regret not having 2 mummies at some point, but that's life.

From the Leagues screen click "League Finder" and search for f13. You'll see the league displayed there and once it is highlighted select the team you want to apply with from a drop-down list at the bottom of the window and then simply hit "apply." It'll prompt you for a password after that is done. Have a team built before going through all of this.

I have not gotten an email on the league password yet, Falconeer. I think I've decided to play High Elves. I almost went human or dwarf, but I think High Elves will suit me best. I tried Skaven last night but really didn't dig them.

You have to realise Falc that I've never done this before. i didnt even know where the leagues tab was. I was staring at the multiplayer menu looking for it :D
<--- idiot
Anyway I got the email and I'm registered in the league as Nurgle. I forgot to sir t as my account name though as i figured you could put in a differnet coach name once in. Turned out not to be the case. Ahh well.

Don't look at me, I wanted to because I liked the Pro Elf Blitzer's mask but everything else about the team looks terrible and the team itself is terrible, having really good catchers is not worth paying too much for every player and getting nothing for that high cost.

More skills, less armor, slightly cheaper relative to high elfs. /shrug
They also have the whole 1980s thing going.

Seeking wives in order to found families, the Skaven negotiated unsuccessfully with the local populations. Fearing the emergence of Skaven society, the locals refused to allow their women to marry the Skaven; consequently, the Skaven planned to abduct the women instead. They devised a festival of Blood Bowl and proclaimed the festival amongst their neighbours. Many came. While the strongest heroes from the other races battle on the field, the Skaven set their plan in motion...
Introducing
Adam, a Linerat Benjamin, a Linerat Caleb, a Linerat Daniel, a Linerat
With
Rheemus and Rohmulus, Stormvermin
Starring the four Gutter Runners
Giambologna, the Carver 'Dark' Schonfeld Leech the Leech Poussin
And a special performance from
Livytch, a Thrower
Coach Lamaros is proud to announce that the Rape of Skabine has entered f13 League * Season 3 *

Hoax was giving me some friendly advice about Chaos before, and has made me possibly re-think my lineup. I would appreciate some feedback from whoever cares to mention.
I was going to use this setup:
8xBeastmen 2xChaos Warrior 1xMino 2xRR 1xApoth
Now I know this is perhaps not 'ideal' or anything, but can I perhaps get away with it given the general level of players skill in the league? I would like to play Chaos but the idea of starting without the mino makes the team a bit less 'exciting' for me, and I think the Apoth is probably a sounder investment than another Warrior (a dead mino in the first game would make me cry). I figure I can make up for the slow start over the course of the league, and have a bit more fun doing it than with a more sensible lineup, but I've never played a league before and would appreciate some thoughts.
Hello, the best starting lineup for chaos is : X4warriors x7 bestmen x3 RR in league play adding in the apoth then 1 more beastman as the first 2 purchases. a 4th RR would be my next advice, then after that a mino isnt a bad idea droping an unskilled beastie for him (unless you wish to go down the dirty platyer route in which case a stroing arguement can be made for 13 players, 2 with DP). ithe most important aspect to remeber with chaos is their lack of starting skills, this means you will be hammering your re rolls much more than say, an orc or dwarf team (2 teams that i would say are closest to chaos in terms of play style), you could agre that a team stetup with 4RR from the get go would also be good, specifically to try and counter this, but i personally feel that you have to drop too much opening STR4 to achive this.. 2RR is suicide....

I was more going for "good enough to compete with the average level here, but also fun". I didn't relish playing chaos for 9 games without a mino as it is just too boring to get going. In the end you're probably right if I want to not pull my hair out either way though, so I went Skaven instead.

1 Mummy 2 Wights 2 Ghouls 4 Zombies 4 Skeletons 3 Rerolls
I'll probably regret not having 2 mummies at some point, but that's life. How come you went for 13 players as undead? I get the feeling you might regret not going 2/2/2/3/2 w/ 3 rerolls. That extra Mummy is surely worth dropping a bench? Hell why not get an extra ghoul too and go 2/2/3/2/2 w 3 rerolls? Nice Nurgle team Sir T. The rerolls will hurt, but you'll piss a few people off too most like. Calvin and Hobbes are back to maul the fuck outta you. I suggest a bounty on the players that are level 3 at the start of the league. I feel we should encourage their deaths.

Looking at the orc roster I can put together, I'm torn between linemen and gobbos. Linemen seem kinda meh when you've got black orcs, and gobbos seem like the only things orcs get to change up their gameplay.

Ok, this is redundant and useless, but since we don't have a subforum, since I have apparently time to waste, and since it's obvious that a few of us are hyped up enough to want more and more Blood Bowl in any form, I fired up a f13 League Facebook Group. As I said, no one who doesn't want or just simply hates Facebook has to join. Chances are nothing at all will be going on there, I mostly created it to better organize and preserve links to posts I liked and prevent them from getting lost, but if you feel like taking a look, contributing, or joinning, here's the link: f13 Blood Bowl League on Facebook. Only useful thing up there at the moment is an updated list with Coach names, Team names, in game names and Steam names. I can and will totally copy it here, but the lack of a subforum forces me to cram everything in the OP, which kind of sucks. EDIT: New Facebook Groups SUCK HORRIBLY! But shared chat is pretty cool for shit talk and random strategy banter.

That extra Mummy is surely worth dropping a bench? Hell why not get an extra ghoul too and go 2/2/3/2/2 w 3 rerolls? I've tried the 2/2/3/2/2, and I invariably only made use of 2 of the ghouls. The extra mummy could go either way, really. Edit: That said, after some looking, I went with 2/2/3/2/2 anyway, as the extra ghoul is as good as the skeletons, but with better movement, and higher Agi. If I get lucky, I can get some extra players by killing a team of elves, or something.

A very bashy lineup, Sky. I haven't seen it done that way, but it looks like fun, and goblins are cheap to pick up later.

I like that build, Emperor. It's tough not starting with two flesh golems, but it'll be worth it buying those two extra rerolls instead, I think. With Regeneration on so many players you're not likely to need as much of a bench anyway. Yeah, the only real choice was whether I wanted the second wight or the second flesh golem -- I went with the wight (and banked the extra 20k) for the Block, but I'm still pretty ambivalent about it. Since I was going to end up saving to buy whichever one I didn't start with, it's mostly just a tradeoff of early skills vs. a flesh golem potentially missing out on juicy MVP awards.

I think we have Chaos, Lizards and Humans promised in the thread. Just Goblin, Halfling, and Pro Elf left.
Also, in case anyone is not aware, when you are creating your team, you can set individual player names by buying players in the 'player details' screen from the 'purchase players' dialog. Change the name and hit buy inside 'player details' to do this.
