And so we're off! With the dust barely settled from last season, the epic show that is the Bronze Shield League is underway again. 16 teams take to the field to see who will follow Hudd and his White Handz with getting their dirty, blood soaked hands on the Shield that everyone covets!
Group 2 contains names new and old, teams of bash and BS agility alike, and of course our current champion, Hudd, who I'm not saying needs to be brought down a peg or two.... but just kill and maim that b*stard!!
Flurples (Dravis) Vs Roskilde Reinforcements (Konky)
The fresh faced newbie Dravis and his Zons come up against a weather beaten IP veteran in Konky and his Humans. Flurples come into the league as underdogs, plain and simple. The lowest TV, the fewest skills, but by far the best figures on show throughout this Cup! Konky is a methodical player who very rarely has a bad match. His Humans were tricky to play against in The Tin & Bones Cup last season, and they have matured like a fine wine and will be right up there this season too. I just can't see past the Rosilde outfit for this one.. 2-0.
The Phoenix Knights (Tydog) Vs The Sinercity Bengals (Coach Jester)
Tydog's High Elves take on Jester's Vamps. The Phoenix Knights come into this comp with 11 in the squad and 5 level 4 players. A strong team, but a weak squad you may think? Well don't forget that these Elves have mostly AV8 for armour, and the skills they have and the players they have them on suggest a strong tendency to the hit and run airing it out BS that all of the rest of us coaches just absolutely adore playing against!! Their opposition are possibly the weirdest of Vampire builds I have ever seen. With all due respect to the Daddy of IP, and with fear of getting Blacklisted.... were you always drunk when giving these guys their level up's CJ?!?! No Block or dodge in sight on the Vamps, just Pro and Jump up? Thralls with Thick Skull?? Clearly our beloved leader has become so used to wiping the floor with us that he relishes the challenge of handicapping himself these days!! 2-1 to The Phoenix Knights.... and a recommendation for another site I can play on anyone?!?
Sun Praisers (Gudrac) Vs Gorland NoPune4U (Gorbag)
Gudrac's battered Dark Elves take on Gorbag's Zons. Gudrac's team seems to have come out worse of their Open matches than before they went in.... but they are Delfs and not a team to be sniffed at. Unfortunately for them they go into this match missing their star Runner and a +MV lino that this pundit feels will be the core of their team this season if they can stay fit. Gorbag's Zons are coming along nicely. A distinct lack of tackle throughout their ranks though means that although on paper this should be a convincing win for the Zon's, we have all been there searching for a POW against a Delf BC who just skips through attempted tackle after tackle to score. Still I'm sticking with my guns for this one 3-1 to Gorbag, but expect the Delfs to make a real impact as this League progresses.
Moar Dakka! (Wenteros) Vs Vengeance of Khorne (Hudd)
Wenteros' Orcs face off against current Bronze Shield Champ Hudd with his Khorne team that won the Tin & Bones Cup a few seasons back. Hudd clearly has the pedigree here but as with all Pedigree's it's the inter-breeding that causes the problem. And in a Khorne team that is Frenzy, very much a double edged sword. However Vengeance are turning into a useful outfit, they have the makings of a very nice Ball Carrier with AG4 and Sure Hands, a Bloodthirster with Mighty Blow (and those damn wings that the opposition coach can't see around to properly plan his turn) and a smattering of Block. Wenteros has gone for a Troll build with his Orcs but clearly his Blitzers and his Thrower are his preferred pieces and are the developing stars. A clash of 2 teams in their infancy as far as The Bronze Shield is concerned here, and it will come down to who handles the Frenzy aspect the best. 1-1 says this pundit!
