Gutter Runner: These are the most versatile positional players in BB due to access to mutations. Doubles: Take Strong Arm instead of Big Hand, as +1 on passing is more important to him as to pick up the ball with AG3/Sure Hands.

Doubles – Dauntless or any AV/Inj modifying Mutation. Storm Vermin: Tackle/Strip Ball, Guard, Mighty Blow. Preferably AV/Inj modifications or any special mutation that meets your playing style (see below). Doubles – Guard, Leader (if you want a Rat-Ogre) or any mutation that does not involve ball handling/dodging. Linerats: one with Kick, at least three with Block to have blockers on the LOS, one with Dirty Player (if you prefer that style of playing or if the Linerat already has nigglings/stat decreases). Take ANY stat increases, except MA for Linerats and Throwers. These are for Linerats, give your positional players only skills which let them do the things better they are assigned for. General advice: never take Leader, Kick or Dirty Player on a positional player. If any of your Gutter Runners has got an AG increase, it’s no question to keep him alive at all costs. The apothecary is reserved for your skilled Gutter Runners or Storm Vermins with 2-3 Skills. I never would use him on any Linerat (except the Leader Linerat maybe). If any injured Linerat should get a skill (due to MVP) give him Dirty Player If you have anybody with – ST or – AV, well those are really sad creatures with no real use. Linerats with nigglings, –MA or –AG are good for placing at the LOS. If any players get nigglings or stat decreases wait with sacking him until you have 15 players. Buy a Rat-Ogre as the 14th or 15th Player only, buy a 4th TRR when you have reached 14 Players. Slowly fill up your squad with Linerats and a 3rd Gutter Runner.


Some of my statements could sound strange to you, so constructive criticism is – as always – welcome. I wanted to compile my experiences in this guide which is meant for vanilla LRB coaches, though we don’t use stars. On the road to success I played against Dwarves, Orcs, Dark Elfs, Lizardmen, Human and Chaos. I won 9 out 10 games and became League Champion. I never played Skaven so far but was surprised by my overall success. I started playing Skaven in our league for the last season.
