league or tournement build?

Is there much difference with LRB 5+, now that FF isn't so important?

I can see myself using the same starting rosters for leagues as I do for tourneys. Most teams should front load with as many re-rolls and positionals as can be purchased and get an apoth as first purchase after match 1 or 2

depends what team you play....
Norse with no Snow troll = Tourney team.
Norse + Snow troll = League team
(infact any team with a big guy is usually a league build, the exception of course is undead (no Loner on Mummies))
Another example...
Dark Elves, (with the exception of Blitzers) all positionals are Av 7 (Witch elves / runners / assasins) So Tourney teams dont usually include many Positionals at 1 Mil build (to easy to fetch up short of players)

So the short answer is.....Yes, there can be a vast difference in how you build a tourney team, also more R/Rs are probably bought for Tourneys as players dont develope (Much if at all) so you get less Catch/Dodge/Block Skill re-rolls

See this is what I like about the game is that we can have such different opinions, and there's no real right answer

Guess it's down to playing style really as I'd not consider starting with a big guy in most league teams due to their expense, although I'd really consider taking one if available in a tourney team

I'd always load up on as many re-rolls as possible in a league because I dislike paying double when buying them after the league has started, whereas the big guy for example is the same price if you buy him later.

Dark Elves I would start in league with either 4 blitzers or 3 blitzers and a witch. I would consider taking the exact same starting roster to a tourney too.

And don't forget gobbo's and flings
