Since few B.B. ‘coaches’ bring star players to tournaments, there isn’t much tactical advice online regarding specific ones, i.e. are they worth it. Many tournaments allow 1.1k points, so it’s possible to include one of the cheaper-to-middle range ones — just wondering if any dwarf players out there might give me some advice with Grim Ironjaw and the dwarf team. I haven’t always had the most success with slayers (I usually field one or none), but Grim seems like he could really do something with dauntless, multiple block, frenzy, and a base strength of 4. The problem I’ve had fielding dwarves is that my relative lack of experience has made it more difficult for me to cash in on this team’s strengths, so I am occasionally surprised and left reeling by a lucky casualty (despite thick skull, lots of AV 8 on the team, and I’m used to playing Orcs so I don’t always expect my players to go down), and often faster teams rapidly outscore me. Grim sounds like he could handle more than his points cost worth of opponents, however, given that skill combination. On the downside: There’s the problem of AV8 on a guy worth 220k points, and there’s the problem of being unable to include either one blocker or one runner bc of his points value (so, in 1.1k points, the team would have to be Grim, 1x Blocker, 2x Runner, 7x Blocker/ Longbeard, 3x reroll; or Grim, 2x Blocker, 1x Runner, 7x Blocker/ Longbeard, 3x Reroll).
So, I’m wondering if anybody can give me advice: A) is Grim worth it at 220k in a 1.1k team? And B) what’s the best way to use him?
