Devious Tanukis’s Beginner Guide to Choosing the Right Blood Bowl Team

Here are nine ways to find the team that suits you:

1. Play the team you feel like playing.
2. Use the team selection flowchart. Note: A few teams are still missing, including Snotlings, Gnomes, and Bretonnians.
3. Look at how the teams look and choose the one you find most appealing.
4. Choose based on playstyle (Bashy / Agile / Hybrid / Stunty).
5. Choose based on beginner-friendliness. [See the same table]
6. Check the win rates of the individual teams. Make sure to select the variant “Blood Bowl 2025”. Choosing by win rate may be boring, but it’s fine—I can’t stop you from googling it anyway. And I shouldn’t judge too loudly.
7. Play a test game with paper minis.
8. Watch YouTube videos about the teams you’re considering. (The Bonehead Podcast has plenty to offer)
9. Pick the team you wanted from the start.
