These forest-planet inhabitants don't have a special ability like the Draconis, instead, they come with exceptional agility allowing them to perform some high-speed manoeuvres in the arena.

Love the Yndij from Azure Forest. Its a great looking model
loved the 1e of this game, got put off a little by the proliferation of teams, especially the power creep of teams like the rebs and the convicts. Am over the moon they’ve had a chance to review and balance the teams.
the teams in dreadball are getting so strange ;p
The White Pointer.
Super awesome video, keep them going, so looking forward to play some dreadball 🙂 fingers crossed i win
Yay! Space Monkeys!
I always like to give my teams references to pop culture… Hmm, how about the Twilight Spider-Monkeys? No, that’s terrible
If I had an Yndij team it would be called The Azure Avatars (you can imagine the paint scheme -proof of concept to be posted in the WAYPN shortly, I did a couple of Yndij rebs like that recently.)
alternatively
The Fern Gullibles, The Forest Gumps, The Brachiating Bastards, The Woodland Wanderers, Arbor Atheltic, King Louie’s Chosen or The Apes of Wrath (which in hindsight might be better for a Zee team)
The play style for these guys sound fun.
The guards are definitely trying to win the “I have the most gigantically impressive shoulderpads in the Dreadball Universe” competition.
I would really love to win this boxset…very nice game and the options for the other teams are great
Them Tree Sharks are wicked. I might even call my team Wicked Trees? Or Wicked Sharks?
Yndij are fun.
Don’t you just love the tree huggers, nothing complicated, just like free footballers. The rats aren’t complicated either.
I feel they look more bulky than quick… But they are nice anyway 🙂
I always liked space monkeys!
Even the Yuuzhan Vong. And the Skorne, who are basically Samurai Space Monkeys …in a semi-fantasy world. ^^
Fast and agile . . . sounds good to me.
They sound like a more versatile Kalyishi. I like
When I was first introduced to Dreadball, I thought the Galactic Co-Prosperity Sphere was a great name for a really evil mega-corporate government that was basically the East India Company in space.
So I was really surprised while watching a WWII documentary to find out that the euphemism “co-prosperity sphere” has a historical source, that basically acted the same way the GCPS does in the game.

Wood Elves with a more fearsome look it seems
Fun and fast. Does anybody know how they compare to the Veer-myn?
Better Skill stat than the Veer-myn
Yeah was gonna say play style sounds similar to ratmen.
I would definitely like to paint up this team.
Really like the look of this team. Are there MVP’s in this edition? Sounds like captains might overlap with MVP’s a lot.
I love this team.
Solid team, fast and useful
Another interesting new team, but I’ll be sticking to my Veer-Myn
This team is really great!
I’d name my team Azul Monkeys
I wonder how these differ to Judwan in style?
Very nice looking team
Ball Jumpers would be a good name
Team Name: The Jumping Jacks (and Strikers)
Dont mess with space monkeys, because they will eat your face, when they get angry.
Great team going to be fun to play.
The Yndij sound like a fun team to play. A bit tricky with my dice rolling, but still fun if you can pull of that awesome 1 action strike.
Another team to add to the others I have to paint!
Cool team with a nice backstory. I like as well how you do have a nice pairing of teams mechanically in the starter set.
Always amazed how creative mantic to make a new alien race
Teleporting turtles………..Space Monkey`s, wonder what they`ll come up with next.
Flying fish? 🙂
I love the play style of this team.
I really need to figure out how to paint these guys, I need an agile team on my roster.
How many eyes do the Yndij have? I’ve painted them in Deadzone and Dreadball and they’ve only had 2 I sure. In the Ninth Moon logo they have 2. The studio scheme shows 4.
Yep, I’ve also would have painted my Yndij with a single pair of eyes, that second pair is just like a wrinkle under the eye. First I thought the painters got too creative, but I’ve checked the concept art, and it shows 2 pairs of eyes and 2 pairs of nostrils. (Although the eyes on the concept are pitch black, but I like it yellow.)

My team would be the Verdant Springs
wood elves…but spacier. Urgh. I’m gonna hate playing against these guys I can tell. lol
I’d call them Yarnball Catchers
I think this would be the team that I would play. I prefer the speed and agility that they have.
I love the sound of this team.
Ninth Moon Tree Sharks is a pretty fine name for them 🙂
I’d call my time the Nine Lives Tree Cats 🙂
Awesome Treecats
With such an awesome back story for this team and some great minis, the play style feels a bit bland for me. I know they are fast, but it feels as if they could have had another ability to give them a bit more personality.
They are fast, for a team name how about the Green Lightnings?
Team name: Jumping springs
The Indij look like a great team! I’ve linked your video about them in our article: https://alkony.enerla.net/english/the-nexus/board-games-nexus/board-game/dreadball-ed2-base-set-mantic-games-2018-board-game-base-set-review
