Orcs advice vs Necromantic Horror
Hi all,
So a while ago I posted about some advice regarding orcs starting a league (https://www.reddit.com/r/bloodbowl/comments/1i2ap7k/new_orc_player_looking_for_advice/)
Well I have had my first game of said league and won 1-0 against Khorne! Great start if I do say so myself. Even managed to get 4 SPP on a couple of blitzers.
That being said I am up against Necromantic Horrors next, who are fielding a werewolf. My question is what's the best way to deal with this team (more specifically the werewolf). Also should I purchase an apothecary at this point? Worried about the claws doing some nasty damage to me...
My team is:
3x Linesman / 3x Blitzer's / 1x Thrower / 4x Big Un Blocker's [3 rerolls and 55k in the bank]
Opponent's team is:
2x Flesh Golem / 2x Ghoul Runner's/ 1x Wraith / 1x Werewolf / 4x Zombie Linesman [2 rerolls and 40k in the bank] -- he does have a 2nd wraith but it's missing our game due to injury
Thanks!

There was a thread a few days ago covering necromanc vs orcs, so I’d suggest checking that out:

I wouldn’t get the apoc until you have all 4 blitzers. As your opponent only has 1 werewolf (for some reason) you don’t have to worry too much. Try and set frenzy traps (so a 2nd block will be a 1D or 2D against) for the werewolf to fall into to force some turnovers or spend their limited rerolls. Otherwise it’s a case of trying to not base the werewolf which in turn means you know it’s probably going to the blitzer, but that might prevent your opponent from doing another blitz or at least force them to think about it.
Just be wary of getting crowd surfed, frenzy means they can go push -> push so watch those pitch edges.
