Top 5 Blood Bowl Skill Combos - Top 5 Friday (Bonehead Podcast)

[@petesontarioadventures1714]

My personal fave combo is Nerves of Steel and Dump Off on Elven Union Catchers. It will drive your opponent batshit crazy. Try it :)

[@gamesandstuff127]

I would think Wrestle and Jump Up would make a sweet combination

[@bunionsandcabbage6764]

As a Slann player, I'm very fond of Diving tackle/Jump Up against dodgy pieces.

[@miguelnarvaezhidalgo8900]

I do love your podcast! Definitely best BB podcast ever but also best "small wargame" Podcast ever. I have been playing BB for 20 years and I still from your drops of wisdom! You guys rock!

[@gabrielgosselin8690]

One thing you didn't take into account is the 2 players skill combos. One that comes to mind, and that I use ALL THE TIME, is Wrestle and Dirty Player. Just plain evil! Great way to get rid of Big Guys and Star Players... Another one is Guard and Dirty Player. I know you need 2 players for these combos, but damn do they work. Remember, Blood Bowl is a TEAM sport. 😉 PS: Nurgle is love

[@thecreativenerd3319]

I would think that catch and sprint might be a good combination, since the ability to haul in a catch and go the extra yard one more time than normal could help in scoring more touchdowns. Plus, you forgot pass and sure hands! That really helps out teams that have an emphasis on passing the ball, especially if the coach struggles in dice rolling!

[@cjgrace9026]

Also I have a suggestion for a few ideas I think would be interesting. I don't play on tabletop since I don't know about a scene in my city so I would interested if you did a video or two talking about your scene. Maybe you could talk about the local meta or legendary plays/players from days gone by. Perhaps you could show pics of impressive painting jobs from local teams or conversions like those awesome "chaos" halflings from sevens super series. Anyways keep up the good work.

One small correction! Sneaky Git doesn't care if the armor is broken or not ... doubles on the armor check? Ref doesn't see it! So feel free to drop those boxcars all day long! ... well, on the armor check. Doubles on the INJURY roll still gets you gone, but armor checks? No worries, regardless of if it breaks or not.

[@david7019]

Mighty blow + tackle? Most dodge players are low armor

[@twreuter]

Very rare but very nice Combo: Bombardier with Hail Mary Pass. Yes, you can use Hail Mary Pass with bombs. This combo may sound stupid, but trust me. Once you've played against, it you see how nasty it is. You simply park the Bombardier in your End Zone and hurl bomb after bomb after bomb. ANYWHERE and EVERY turn. A cage. A double line of defenders. Wherever. Just not close to your own players. Some will scatter adjacent or onto the enemy, some won't. You simply don't care and your Bombardier is safe in your End Zone. Try it. You'll have a blast. Pun intended. Btw, with Death Zone's new Mercenary rules, you can easily build such a player. Wink, wink.

[@cjgrace9026]

Great list as usual, though I thought that claw & mighty blow was going to be on the list. Other good combos that I think could have made the list even as honorable mentions: 1. Guard + Stand firm. 2. Tackle + Diving tackle. 3. Jump up + Diving tackle/pile on.

[@JorisVDC]

I can't understand why Guard & Stand Firm ins't mentioned, it's the prefer combo for any Blocker out there. Especially any player with ST4+.

[@robertlove4079]

I think you mean Jump Up + Sneaky Git/ Pile Driver.

[@trashfire9641]

When you're post had "we know about Blodge, but what else ya got?" I thought Blodge would be left off this list because it was so obvious. 🤣

[@PhotoReactionVideos]

Another fantastic episode, thanks Ben 😊 On a different note, the Skaven minis from the new Warhammer Underworlds Nethermaze would be awesome in a Skaven Team with a few minor conversations!

[@mattslater167]

Wrestle also negates the defender's zone when it comes to pickup. It also means the blitzing player can't accidentally catch the ball and screw up your play.

[@lockdown6862]

Block and Frenzy. Played Khorne recently and it is a massive combination.

[@handwavepress3389]

I had the most overdeveloped Gutter Runner ever, in league. Dodge (naturally), along with Block, Sidestep, Tackle, and Claws. Bonkers.

[@carthagegaming5545]

There's so many good str-ag combos but that's so hard to harder achieve. Guard and sidestep are nuts if you're can manage it

[@nathanstruble2177]

Hmmm... Assuming just pairs, I have to assume Blodge, but in 3's there's still a good arguement for what once was ClawPOMB, ( shame ClawPDMB doesn't make a functional sound) but BlodgeStep is mean...

[@matthewthomas5657]

My personal favourite was a Pact lineman with prehensile tail and tackle… -1 dodge no doge re roll to leave tackle zones. Cause mayhem

[@-Charon-]

I don't see anything inherently wrong with trying to Dodge away on an 3+; I do it frequently with Orc Blitzers (with or without the Dodge skill). Sure, it doesn't work ALL the time but no risk, no reward.

[@SaltyRobb]

Not really two skills but, AG & Sprint on a Dwarf Runner or Orc Blitzer is amazing!

[@bloodearnest]

One niche combo that's nice: Grab and Multiple Block on a Treeman (or other str 6 player) 2x str 4 blocks, and the fact you can't follow up doesn't matter, as you grab to keep 'em' near you. Which you absolutely want to do given Take Root. I'd take these before Guard, as IME your treeman is often not near the rest of your team anyway, except the first turn in a drive.

[@robertlove4079]

Here one I don't think much people think of Arm Bar and Diving Tackle it really good for the Slann blitzer after they take block. -2 to dodge and you get a +1 to armor or Injury roll if they fail there dodge roll. Another one for Chaos is Tackle and Prehensile Tail.

[@devinbrown3295]

Where did you get your custom BB dice? I’m looking to get a cool set like that.

[@only2comment98]

Guessing you cant Move Afterwards on Sneaky Git anymore? Or can you?

[@Ansteckung81]

I have a Dark Elf Blitzer in our league with Piledriver, Jump Up and Sneaky Git. Working on getting Dirty Player. Everyone hates him in the league.

[@gabrielgosselin8690]

Wow. Just wow. That is an evil player. I love him already!

[@Yokelmutt]

Haha what a character! Out of interest, what order did you get those skills in?

[@Ansteckung81]

@@Yokelmutt piledriver as a league bonus random. Then jump up chosen and chosen sneaky git

[@scrubsrc4084]

Dauntless, frenzy, mighty blow. Is my fave combo. I've been playing with either block on my human catcher for blodge or sprint to add to the sure feet..... first world problems

[@dominickwestbrook9641]

Blodge Sidestep is my go to w catchers

[@rachelbretherton482]

I would definitely include juggernaut, frenzy and horns if you were including 3 skills.

[@Anthony-ve3dy]

i love sidestep with fend on my Skinks.

[@dominickwestbrook9641]

That would be nice on a human catcher too

[@aerofool66]

I don’t have the rule book in Front of me, but wouldn’t wrestle cause the ball to pop out of the hands of a defending player without the use of strip ball? I think I’m missing the purpose of putting those two together.

[@Yokelmutt]

I think the idea is it just means every result but a skull on the block dice will cause the ball to be dropped, very reliable.

[@aerofool66]

@@Yokelmutt that makes sense. Thank you

[@Georgelicious6899]

Do a top 5 AOS kits that are perfect for blood bowl e.g.the rockgut troggoths (which I just found out about 😅)

[@TerryTerryBouzu]

On the ball and disturbing presence?

[@thehowdy3944]

Also you cant have dodge and stunty on this video. Stunty is a trait. Another good combo is diving tackle and prehensail tail. Make dodges a 5+ for elves and 6+ everyone else And dump off and nerces of steel. Really hard to get the ball

[@atkmonkey]

I don't even take Sprint without Sure Feet.

[@bobwallbank]

Diving tackle and jump up

[@MangoFandangoBB]

Not enough Two Heads combos 🤪
