I would love if there was just 'Generic' big guys, but I'm guessing, as with 2nd ed. That would be much more representative of the game.Īll that aside, I am very excited about GW bringing Blood Bowl back, and if the Skaven kit is any indication, the plastic teams will be pretty reasonably priced. Four teams out of seven are elves, and why Nurgle over generic Chaos to start? No Undead faction? I would have thought season 1 would be: High Elves, Dark Elves, Undead, Skaven, Dwarves, Lizardmen, and Chaos. They made some bad calls (in my opinion) on the races in season 1. This is a great question, I would hope GW would allow people to play with unofficial miniatures at least for teams that aren't yet released (considering there will be three they produce at release).Īlso I could not agree more with saying they'll need to aggressively push releases. They probably could have dropped Wood and Union in favor of Lizardmen and Undead. It'll be important for GW to push Blood Bowl releases aggressively until we get some more of the core teams for variety's sake, seeing as how Elves will make of almost half of the available teams at the start. Are people only going to be allowed to play with official GW models in their stores and events? Or is this the chance for GW to start relaxing that policy? The same question could be applied to the models. As a confirmed 40mm pitch coach, (as your wife if bigger is better! tm ) I like the fact they have gone in that direction with the new pitch.ĭurecellrabbit wrote: Are we only going to get rules for Humans, Orcs, Skaven, Dwarfs, Nurgle and Elves until season 2 or whatever their next supplement will be?Īpparently, unless event organizers want to use the older rules until they get an official release. I was very nervous during the run up to this that they would make some fundamental change that would split the community. So, for all of those thousands of people that make up the community, this is really great news.
CAN BLOOD BOWL LEGENDARY EDITION PLAY WITH CHAOS EDITION FREE
While we would have been free to ignore the new (probably rubbish) rules, the fragmenting of the WHFB tournament community following the launch of AoS shows that any community, no matter how strong (and the Blood Bowl community is very much that), will be divided if a 'replacement' product comes along with that company logo branded onto the box. My main fear was that GW would make a move like adding an extra few squares to the length of the pitch (or remove them altogether), just to feth with the people who have custom pitches and all of the 3rd party pitch makers, or reduce the game to a 'Fisher Price My First Wargame' level of something like AoS.
