New Wood Elf team

[Deus Mechanicus]

Been playing Ogres and Orcs so far and havent been playing much on the ball so to say. Thought i'd change that with a ball-handling team and went for wood elves.
This is what i came up with.

5x Linemen 350k
4x Catchers 360k
2x Throwers 180k

1x Fan-Factor 10k
2x Re-Rolls 100k

My first reflection is that Catchers seem very nice with M8, dodge, sprint and catch.
Would be nice with a Treeman to put on the line but 120k seem expensive and filling the team with the basics (ie catchers & throwers) there doesnt seem much gold left for wardancers and treemen.

What do you think?

I haven't played for a couple of years, so some of my opinion might be a little out of date.

I was always advised to max out on blitzers, which I follow as a general rule unless I have a more specific build in mind. From my experience with and against wood elves (mainly against), wardancers are immense. Block, Dodge and Leap, combined with AG4 makes them incredible scorers. Get them strip ball with their first advance and it is almost impossible to protect the ball from them. I favour:

2 Wardancer 240k
1 Thrower 90k
8 Line-elves 560k
2 Rerolls 100k
10k in the bank (to help get that apothecary)

I second that. You want some Wardancers.

I second that. You want some Wardancers.

I played a lot on Fumbbl under lrb4, and still play occasionally on the new lrb6 client. I almost always played wood elves and my starting lineup would be a single wardancer, three re rolls, an apothecary , and line elves.

You could get a tree instead of a wd, but I have had success without them as often as I have with them. I wouldn't bother with throwers. I might start with a single catcher, but certainly not 4. I would probably only use three at the most on a developed team. To be honest, I rarely buy them for new teams. It's better to spread the spps around your line elves for a few games before getting one.
