By that I mean it would only take a couple of sword hands to turn these sports players into soldiers. The con though is they look too much like my marienbugher warband. On the plus side they show expressive faces which is something missing from the 2016 human team who hide behind their facemasks. They remind me a lot of my Marienbugher warband for Mordheim. The more GW delays on getting core teams released just means a greater chance of players turning to 3rd party vendors to meet their needs.ĭo I like the look of the noble humans? They aren’t bad. Adding on the upcoming snotling team that’s three new teams before I can ever get a High Elf team! I understand new products stirs up old players into spending money, but we are looking at almost a third of the available established teams for the game without actual GW products to buy. I am glad that these are not tweaks to existing teams, but I can’t help feel that two new teams added to the game when there are seven teams without models is not a good move. Norse, Amazon, High Elves, Vampire, Khemri, Chaos Dwarf, and Necromatic are all without proper teams at this moment. Second, two new team rosters? Ugh… By my count there are still a good amount of teams that have been in the game for decades that don’t have available teams. While it is nice to see Nick Three-Horn, it’s not that great of a piece. The leaked pages of the rulebook don’t seem to impress. There was a radical shift in art from the classic 2nd edition art to the rampant player stitches of 3rd, but there are still a lot of art pieces that came out of 3rd that are great. The art and style of Blood Bowl is one of its enduring features, so seeing a rather meh cover is a bit of a letdown. The colors are desaturated which stands in real contrast to the 2016 box cover with its rich blues/reds/greens. I know cover art doesn’t affect gameplay, but seriously, what is up with this art? It has the vibe of an unfinished sketch. So what are my initial thoughts? First, the cover on the box set is a real disappointment. So low and behold out of left field we get hit with the mother-of-all leaks. Wouldn’t a box set of Amazons versus Norse be the ultimate matchup of musclebound testosterone against female fury? Apparently I don’t understand game design. Would Games Workshop release a new boxset without having all the teams released? In my mind I foresaw a new set that would throw two unreleased new teams as a nice cash grab for getting new players into the game while also getting old-timers to buy-in to get the unreleased teams. ![]() Teams such as the Norse and Amazon haven’t seen a whiff of anything new since the 90s. I own my fair share of Blood Bowl teams, but I have been longing to see ALL the teams get released. Now that was certainly a bit of news! Blood Bowl has certainly seen its fair share of releases over the years, but expecting a new box set just four years after the latest set was a bit of a head scratcher. While that was no surprise, as I never tire of purchasing that game over and over to get all the playable teams, it also made mention that the release would coincide with a new tabletop version. It seems a distant memory now, but awhile back a brief statement hit the internet announcing the release of the Blood Bowl 3 computer. WSTZ – James (Coaching since 1991 with 2nd edition) – So what do our collection of old coaches think about the recently announced new version of the game? Step into our locker room… And well…a brand new edition so short after the BB2016 relaunch is pretty big news. Even though we’ve drifted back and forth through other titles, big BB news still gets us talking. ![]() Weird Stones & Tackle Zones was founded by Blood Bowl enthusiasts. ![]()
