blood bowl

Anyone a fan of it?

If you don't know what it is then see this link for information about it - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_Bowl

Sorry to dig up an old post, but am bored, and surprised to see this here. I'm a huge fan of the game, have been playing it on and off for 15 years.

Yeah another BB fan, what team or teams have you got?

I have the Orc and Human teams from the box game and a Lizardmen and Khemri team also. (My favourite team is the Lizardmen).

I too have been playing it on and off for years also.

When I first started I was an avid Wood Elf player, then I moved to Dark Elves. The Lizardman team only just got introduced as i was leaving the game for quite a long time. I now also have an Lizardman and Necromantic team, both of which I bought this year. With the new rules coming out soon, I am looking forward to the Underworld team.

I only got Lizardmen recently too and I too can not wait for the new rules and the talk blood bowl forum here http://www.talkbloodbowl.com/phpBB2/index.php says that LRB 6 is out this month (the new rules) although i've seen the proposed rules and I don't like the Khemri rules for it (Mummies now have decay).

Yeah I'm not too fond of what they have planned for Khemri either. Just have to hope that not all of their proposed rules made it through their playtesting - I hate what they have planned for the wood elf catchers too.

I spend most of my time on FUMBBL.

They've been working on an online client for the current rules (you can play LRB 4 online there). There is another client that runs both LRB5 and LRB5+ (BOTOCS) too.

I've looked at that but I don't understand all these client stuff.

I got it on the DS though and I'm thinking of getting it on the PC too (the PC version has a free dark elf pack to add to the game)

Tick i've joined FUMBBL now, so heads up if you want a game.

Cool.

My page is; http://fumbbl.com/~Tipsy_McStagger

I haven't played a game on there in a while though. A OS update made my computer not stop associating the files it sends you with the program that they are for, and I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet.

They are still using LRB4 over there too, which is a bit of a downer for me, as I am interested in using a lot of the newer stuff (specifically the Underworld team right at this moment)

There is another program (BOTOCS) which is using the up to date rules. (speaking of which the new edition should be made official in about a week I hear)

I tried to get an account on talkbloodbowl, but They have apparently run into trouble with GW, so I'm not holding my breath for getting my account verified.

Talk Blood Bowl is closing down at the end of this week as GW want them to remove alot of stuff including the donate button and the word Blood Bowl from the title.

Fumbbl is a nice site even though it's still LRB4.

BTW someone on talk blood bowl leaked out a copy of LRB6 and it looks exactly like the LRB5 + 2008 rules review version.

Exactly the same eh? Did the 3 new teams make it in?

Did you get a copy?

It had LRB6 Draft on it, but it was posted by someone who works for them along with LRB6 extra teams which had the 3 teams on that one (it was not in the book, just an add on), but both got removed suddenly and he said it was because he got alot of emails from his work mates.

He also said it isn't finalized yet, but the only thing left is to sort out the spelling mistakes and other errors.

Apart from the odd one or two changes, it's exactly the same as the 2008 rules review and the extra teams sheet has been unchanged.

I have managed to get onto talk blood bowl post-domain change.

I read that there are 13 changes to LRB6 from the LRB5+experimental. Fingers crossed that one of these is the khemri tomb guardians.

In other news, I am starting to put together my Underworld team. My 2nd Ed. skaven throwers have arrived, and I am waiting on the 2nd ed blitzers and linemen. Hopefully I'll be able to just mail order a regular goblin team to finish it off. (it's not too much of a stretch to fill out the goblin or skaven team from there either)

I finished painting my first skink from my lizardman team too!

He also said at the moment it's the same as the leaked copy, so sadly Tomb Guardians still have decay.

Good look with your underworld team as I'm tempted to make for a laugh, a Chaos Maurader team using the Chaos Pact rules, but only having Mauraders and a Chaos Ogre (it will be like an alternative human team) and i'm not expecting to win with it, just messing about.

BTW what do you think of my custom fire pitch below? (it's in 8 parts)

That's pretty cool. They aren't big enough for table top play, but there are some amazing custom ones on fumbbl for the javabowl client. Sadly they are all too big to use with botocs.

Frm what I hear the lack of slann miniatures has kept the three new teams out of lrb6 too, which is a shame. I think I will continue to use them anyway. (am on talkbloodbowl a lot now too. It is a great site, thanks for the kick in the pants to get on there)

My used one of these boards on here as a template - http://www.gamingcorner.nl/board-download.htm

Basically you print it off and glue them together and place the lot ontop of you board, but you may need to rezize some of them.

Say, I was wondering if you have any photos of your teams. I haven't actually finished anything here in Japan yet. (I have a few painted teams back in Aus, but I dont have any pics of them though - they probably look terrible, as they were painted about 10 or so years ago)

I'm currently looking at putting together a Khemri and Nurgle team, and only need another troll to have my goblins fully decked out. (My lizards, necro and Underworld are all decked out, and I am just starting to get somewhere with painting them now - I have been mainly experimenting with my plastic orcs and humans thusfar)

Ramtut is proving to be a major hassle to get a hold of.

(btw, I am Paulusmaximus on TFF)

Sadly I don't have a digital camera (just as well as my paint job is pretty average to say the least).

Becareful putting together a Khemri team as they are a pain in the backside to put together them skeletons.

Yeah, I hear that they are a pain to put together, but they are also meant to be worth the hassle. I'm not too keen on the idea of the gator/vulture heads though, so I might need to bolster the skeletons numbers somewhat. I already have something in mind for the throw-ras, just a matter of finding suitable blitz-ra substitutes. And most importantly, getting a hold of Ramtut.

I use the gators for Blitzra's, the vulture heads for throwrass and Seteh as star player setekh.

this might be digging up something from the past but definitely just found this game at my local Wal-mart for xbod 360. Thought it was only available in Europe, I was excited to find it in Canada lol.

I have the game on the DS, but I reccomend the Xbox360 version as you can download new teams.

Also don't be supprised about it being availible out of Europe because even though it's made over here in Nottingham, it's bigger in America.

I just collect warhammer and figures though my friend has a dwarf team

I used to collect 40K with a speed freak Ork team, but I sold them and concerntrated on Blood Bowl instead as it's something smaller.
