Review of the Season

Well - that's all ten games of CBBBL V played for Khorne's Killers and I'm quite pleased with how they did.  As I mentioned in my first post, my main aim was to try to be the highest ranked Chaos team and I've done that - and only narrowly missed out on a top-four play-off place while I was at it.

The hardest thing about playing a Chaos team made up of just beastmen and a minotaur is that they're just not that tough.  I've suffered four dead beastman and another than I had to sack as he got a -1 ST injury.  The early games in the season saw me having to field loads of journeymen because of this.  The reason so many beastman had to die is that I had to save my apothecary and keep him in case the minotaur got injured.  If anything happened to him, I'd be fielding a team just linemen.  It did pay off in the end though as I had enough spare funds at the start to buy four rerolls which have been essential with a minotaur on the field.  He has had  good days and bad days - sometimes he got knocked out and spent most of the game recovering whilst other times he has reaped a bloody harvest, most notably when he killed two wood elves in the same game.  He's been such an important player for me this season that he deserves the "player of the season" award - and as he's killed more players in the CBBBL than anyone else he can have MVP too.

So - what's next for Khorne's Killers?

The Chaos players in the league thought it would be fun to have our own play-off to really decided who is the best Chaos team - our own mini-Chaos Cup if you will.  So in November I'll have at least one more game to play against one of the other Chaos teams - and hopefully I'll win that to get through to the final.  We will be following the CBBBL V play-off rules for this; after the ten games of the CBBBL league is played, you can spend your treasury money on hiring new players or buy team goods and then your team is locked.  The play-off games are played like a tournament - injuries will not carry over and you can go to overtime to get a winner.  In preparation for this, I had 300K in my treasury to spend - so I have broken with the team's starting ethos and purchased three chaos warriors.  If nothing else, they will for a nice solid line of scrimmage for my beastman and minotaur to hide behind.

I will post up a report after the first play-off game...
