First team: Gnomes or Old World Alliance?

Hello!

I am really new to BloodBowl. I just had my first demo game few days ago (half a game actually, to learn the basic rules and understand the game). Needless to say, I felt in love with the game right away!

The store where I tried the game at is a small one, in a small village where close to where i live, in rural Italy. The store owener is trying to create a community around minuature games (mostly Blood Bowl and Kill Team) and I really appriciate his efforts and want to be part of it with both games.

I'm already fairly good at Kill Team, but still bought a new team from him.

Now, tried BB, I also want to buy my very first team.

Since the store is small and new, it has a selection of teams available, and I feel like I should buy one of the ones he already has in the store even tho he has not the whole catalgue of BB teams.

Among the ones he has, there are two I quite like the aesthetic of (for me liking the mood and how a team looks is very important, more than how good they are). Those two are The Old World Alliance and the Gnomes. I like the mix the first one offers, and the gnomes are just super cool.

Given that I tend to learn new games quite easily, which team would you recommend to a new player? (some may say none, but lets say I must choose one of those).

And which one do you belive is the most fun to play among them? (to play with and agaisnt, I don't like to play teams that people may dislike to play against.)

Thansk for the attention and have a nice whatverpartofthedayitiswhereyoulive
