Chaos Chosen: Blood Bowl 3 Official Race Guide

[@allstarreject]

The one I've been waiting for

[@Gitsy18]

Even better than I expected, awesome guide for the new Chaos Chosen! Minotaur is still my favourite of the big 3 just for those juicy blitzes.

[@rickyal9810]

Armor 9+ is risky but he also doesn't lose his tackle zones when you roll 1 and horns plus frenzy is just great so yeah, Minotaur for me too.

[@lukefreeman4281]

Knocking it out of the park with the BB3 content Andy! 👍🏻

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

Thank you kindly, glad it's worth watching

[@t.b.flowers8903]

Thanks! Look forward to trying them out.

[@Yuy978]

Love it!

[@joseluki]

How is it possible that the models look so devoid of character compared to BB2. What an achievement.

[@scotsgeoff]

This series of yours is very good. Thank you. Looking forward to your Skaven guide.

[@MarkusWande]

I love these team walk-throughs man!

[@kar0x]

really good analysis on the star players

[@thatguy1823]

thanks, looking to get into the game this is really helpful.

[@Xinofos]

Thank you for the guides AndyDavo!

[@damianjonsson1688]

I have found 2 beastmen with extra arms and sure hands has won so many games for me. Tentacles on the big guy can be great against dodgy teams. Saved me from some gutter runner td more than once

[@battlehawk1263]

Actually enjoyable watch.

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

Actually

[@dambrooks7578]

The Blockers are also able to pick up the ball on a 3+ and the Beastmen Blitz on a ST4...

[@mattiasljung317]

Awesome! King Andy! /Hyperbrain

[@puppet-at-large2436]

I actually chose to go with 2 goat Blitzers. block, strip ball, tentacle/tackle. Turns the whole thing into a violent free for all to get the ball (which is good for me). Then the blocker push in, and a ball handler with sure hands arrives. It’s my tactic in turn defence into offence, and given the goats come with horns it works really well

[@gjnoronh]

Andy I would wonder about random strength on the big guys. You aren’t scoring touchdowns with them so a single selected secondary skill (block, pro, defensive and dodge you mentioned) starts at 12 SPP (six casualties) and the price goes up from there when you are talking about something later in development. How many games and casualties can you expect to play with the team. It’s more then one game per casualty for a single player on average. Random skills on their primary tree (strength) start at 3 SPP. They can’t get strong arm, thick skull and currently can’t get multiple block. The mino can’t get grab. The remaining skills aren’t bad at all. Doesn’t always make sense to do but you make enough money in Bb2020 you can even cycle more expensive players.

[@dambrooks7578]

The ST4 Big Blockers, or the ST5 ones?

[@gjnoronh]

@@dambrooks7578 the strength 5 ones.

[@dambrooks7578]

@@gjnoronh on a Troll I prefer to start with Block, but then I am not a try harder, then Gaurd but I think Andy goes the other way, but I am often found to be irritated because the Troll actually had no interest in being my Blitzing super star. On my Rogre I can normally get to 6 SPP across two games if I haven't rolled that dreaded 1 and bitten the head of one of the team mates 🐀 with the 6 SPP a skill can just be selected happily 😊 Unfortunately I have only recently experienced running an Ogre and Devine was attacked so brutally in her first game she was forced into MNG territory, however when she came back her job was merely getting in the way ergo never managed more than 2 SPP for the rest of last season, never mind it is only a game of imagination and the collection of Fisherman's Tales of both what was, what was incredible and what could have been.

[@Lotsagobs]

Really a quality Chaos guide. Nice to see the ideas to keep them away from only being a slaughter house.

[@octaneblaze5839]

First! Also thanks for putting out such great content Andy!!

[@barryfinkle1755]

I'm very pleased I found the channel.

[@maximusest40kwarfare73]

Thankyou, i always seem to get double diced when defending so this may help

[@charlescassier3199]

Hi nice advice and strategies videos. Just a small remarks here. Hakflem once per game does not let him walk to someone and steal the ball. It let him take the ball off the hands of a teammates (so not an opponent) and only at the start of his activation, so before he move (precised in the faq) . Also that's come at the coast of knocking said teammates down.

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

I poorly explained what I meant, I meant what you said, my bad

[@DayDay-997]

Great Vid again Andy I'm interested to see how everyone builds chaos in this edition.

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

Old timers will go kill, but the new meta is control and foul

[@mijbril8330]

@@AndyDavoBloodBowl Kill is a reliable fallback for some teams though, "eh, stuff this subtlety(?), I'm just going to punch the opponent in the face"

Great guide as per usual Andy. I realy admire how thorough and positive you are.... And on that note i see 28 positive comments below ... and I happen to give the first like... for shame guys... just shame... give ol' Andy some love =D

Thank you very much !

[@naphackDT]

I don't believe there would be any better bash coach to write a Chaos guide.

[@GermanGaryOak]

I would love some Chapters for the videos! great guides!

[@maxwilliams1060]

Love the content, I find your insight super useful. As an Editor your cut aways are far too short, in the future I'd consider stills that you can keep on for 3-4 second with an easy-ease zoom/Pull out. I'd personally screen the game at 4k so you can probably grab a shed load of stills or motion. Understand that's a shed load of work though. :) Again, love the video's

[@8heimdall8]

lots of great ideas on levelling! my favourite is the leap one! always wanted to try one but never had the chance on tt

[@rogue7744]

Ty, very helpful!

[@dark1stknight555]

with the d16 roll I believe str or ag is 15 and 16 is whatever you like so its actually a 1 in 8 chance to get a str up I believe

[@allstarreject]

What other 3-4 skills do you recommend on a Sneaky Git / Dirty Player?

[@Dementor_BloodBowl]

Just to let you know, strength is 2/16. You can get 15 - str or ag or 16 - any stat. Still wouldn't roll the characteristic but nevertheless.

[@subzero21601]

If you roll something you don't like, you can choose a secondary skill instead. (Been FAQ'ED to also allow primaries instead.) But bb3 isn't completely up to date with the rules.

[@AzraelGames]

Thanks for putting out these videos. One thing I've noticed in watching all of these is that you recommend a certain setup but then some of the formation sections use a different setup. Easy enough to fix on our end, but just a minor inconsistency. Am I correct in assuming that the ogre on the LOS would be swapped for a beastman until you can afford the ogre or would you sacrifice symmetry of the second line and put a Chaos warrior on the LOS?

[@lockdown6862]

Some thoughts about vomitflesh: for 180k you can use him as an advanced Oger roadblock with st5 av10+, no stupid roles for standing up and foul apperance will sometimes come in handy too. The best about that is that you save your importand players from getting hurt.

[@dambrooks7578]

They are the first team I took to a tournament having spent until very late on the night before the tournament painting my conversion of a 3rd edition Morg into a Minotaur and knew absolutely nothing about putting skills on the Players before I arrived it wasn't until half way through the day that someone helped me put skills onto the team and left the tournament with a 25% win rate which was very enjoyable for someone that hadn't played Blood Bowl in twenty or more years. Grashnak Blackhoof is the ultimate Blitzer for the team, sadly GW doesn't care about BB enough to release him

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

Keep at it!

[@tomgram1182]

Great guide. I was hoping for more than one offensive set up ;)

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

offensive setup is based on 2 unknowns: 1. what turn you are on 2. specifically how your opponent sets up. Offensive guides are therefore boarderline impossible

[@RichardBergen-o2y]

Does "Very Long Legs" work as you described? It has a very different description in the BB3 ("Jump up tests") vs. the rule book ("Jump over") so I'm unsure what it does.

[@ShaggyShagz13]

I miss having Morg n' Thorg as a permanent player on my Chaos team. I always run Chaos as a war party, trying to kill everyone.

[@bendavy1816]

As Moist as a tentacle mutation, good review.

[@calipo]

So, where are the first matchs of bb3?

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

After the guides

[@lockdown6862]

I think the first beastman level should be a random general. Depending on the outcome the second one as well. And maybe the next too ;) .I can make a Video on that it someone is interested in it.

[@Salubrious388]

I’m a bit confused as to why you didn’t talk about the Minatore in this video. I’m newish to BB so was thinking the Minatore looked pretty great on the team of goats!!

[@rastafari5918]

Cant wait for Skaven, for real I need some help lol

[@iaindebono8645]

Something he didn't mention is that tournament wise with set skills there one of the worst teams to play as there lack of any skills make them very weak compared to teams that have block or dodge. And them being expensive in price makes it hard to buy stars for them too. Only good in very long leages.

[@YourXavier]

True. The lack of starting skills make them very iffy for short runs. You really need the time to build the team.

[@lyracian]

You talk about only having five skills not six. However with the new rules it is only 92 SPP to get to level 6 not 176. Maybe a little bit more if you take some secondaries; or less if you got a lucky random. Not that many players are likely to get to five skills, let alone six I just found your comment about skill ups interesting.

[@diamondmeeple]

Is it possible with both claw and mighty blow? I thought it was not allowed.

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

You can take both, just cant use both to get though the AV

[@someoneelse7695]

Is there any merit in taking the first roster and swapping the fourth chosen for a goat and four dedicated fans?

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

Nah.

[@jakeholland9502]

It's OK it's due to the state of the game on xbox series x

[@patrickmaloney3091]

So I took a troll simply cause I was like I want a troll am I just fucked or are trolls viable in a certain way over the other two?

[@YourXavier]

Trolls have regenerate, so in some ways they're more resilient. The question is the cost of needing another player nearby to make them reliable. And technically Trolls also have the Projectile Vomit skill, but that's rarely that useful. Overall, the Ogre is more reliable and the Minotaur has the ST6 blitz and Frenzy. A Troll is the budget option.

[@zak3744]

I think prehensile tail is also worth a shout. A developed chaos team will always be able to put up a fight against other bash teams, but I find sometimes they can be left clutching at shadows against elf teams. Yes, tackle is great for punching them, but you only get one blitz per turn, so after you've got a couple of tacklers on the team, Prehensile tail seems to me the more useful skill for controlling the elves. It works against all the elves, even those linemen that might not have dodge, and while tackle turns a 1/36 into a 1/6 failure chance for a AG4 dodger, they can team re-roll on crucial plays. Prehensile tail only takes them down to a 1/9 but that's it, turnover. On those spare utility slots for rounding out a player, or on randomised mutation skill picks, I never regret a few prehensile tails in the team.

[@tyrano1982]

Don't agree with you, love the troll, he's cheap, has regen, and he's going to do really well the road block job, probably become, at some point, a bon xD
