They are the kind of team that benefits from having a numbers advantage as they must avoid leaving gaps to exploit in their defense.

On the other hand, the Black Orcs don’t have the Lizardmen’s speed and need to use a different tactic to win. The team can even score a one-turn touchdown out of the box if need be. They are also fast enough to score in two turns and can easily switch their game plan to a 2-1 grind tactic. The quickness the Lizardmen possess enables them to defend the whole field and if you manage to get past their defense, it’s hard to run away from them. Well, I don’t believe that the Black Orcs are a controlling team like the lizardmen. How do they play and how do they differ, I hear you say. However, the Black Orcs play differently, in my opinion. They are similar if you look at the team roster as there are six strength four blockers, a big guy and some stunty linemen. Initial thoughtsįrom what I’ve heard, most people view the Black Orcs team as a worse version of the Lizardmen team and I don’t agree with this statement. Why did I write this article? Well, I’m interested in hearing thoughts from others on this new team and to start the discussion, I’ll share mine first. Don’t take this as gospel, but rather a point of view, which may or may not prove to be true once we’re able to play tabletop games again.

Journal Issue 12.I’d like to caveat this article with this being my initial thoughts on Black Orcs from a tournament perspective without really having played them. Grind down the pitch, crushing the other players underfoot, until your Goblins are close enough to make a dash for the End Zone. If you like your plays rather unsubtle, this is the team for you. Even the trolls on Black Orc teams are well trained, which is an impressive feat!Teams like the Thunder Valley Greenskins have made a name for themselves with their impressive athleticism and discipline as much as their capacity for grievous violence. Well drilled in comparison to their peers, the little guys are quick to run the ball through any gaps the Black Orcs open up for them. Their biggest weakness is a lack of speed – but that's where the Goblins come in. Smarter, stronger, and more serious than their kin, they were tired of soaking up all the big hits and giving up all the glory. Black Orcs have been splitting off and forming their own teams for years now.
