Questions and Chatter

Only one game Dave, a second this week to test again. It's To Defy a King Cameron has. No idea how Scots or Montrose will work in it. We are using John's old 15mm just now to see how they play. 28mm won't be until end of this year to next year.

I hear you guys have been playing ECW. What rules are you using so that I can get a set and hopefully unleash my Montrose Irish / Scots! Assuming you're using 28mm of course

Still building but have a fairly substantial force already - perhaps enough for both sides in a small/medium game. Think I need more artillery although some of my Marlburian hardware may fit in if I buy some ECW crew

Hey Steve,

Not to my knowledge but I couldn't make it in last Sunday so best double check with John.

Discovered the ronson rule in the errata, all is now clear.

Quick question for the Chain Of Command players. Can someone point me in the direction of the Ronson rule? I can't find it anywhere, other than in the army lists.

I was going to try to play on a set day. Maybe saying the game has to be played by "x" date might work, but it them means you are having to turn down a normal game to get Bloodbowl played & might lead to slippage of games.
I have pdf copy of League Competition rules that I could give to everyone. It was freely downloadable on GW site until all the games disappeared.

I have a league schedule that I can adjust for number of players, was a website I found. So once we got all the players you would have your match schedule, who playing & what month. I would keep a league points table just like footie. 3 for win, 2 for draw, 1 for loss, 0 for no show. Star player points, rewards, & upkeep of team is all in the rules, but I'd design a form to track it after each game. should work ok.

I could never really get into Blood Bowl, but I have been eyeing up Dreadball and Slaughterball recently. What's the structure of the season? Is it played on set days or when both players are available? How long does a game take? I may have acquired the rules at some point so I'll have a read of them. Problem is similar to David though in not being in much more than once a month, which wouldn't leave much time for playing anything else.

That's a pity Dave. would have been fun to get everyone involved.

I would have been up for playing, but it wouldn't be worth it. I cant even guarantee turning up once a month lol but I might possibly, and I stress might, hAve my skaven team. I'll have a wee look.

Good question Doc but are you going to tell the big beastie he's not getting a game?  

@ Stuart:  I have a team you could use.  Won't maybe look the greatest, but they aren't bad figures. Paint job is coming off, they weren't undercoated when painted so its flaking away..  Shadowforges Female Dark Elf team  with some cheerleaders & coach & medic.

@Steve:  Can a Hive Tyrant even fit on 3x3 Bloodbowl pitch squares, nevermind one?  

We'll see who has spare teams for folk to use and who wants to play.

Does this mean my Genestealer Team & Hive Tyrant coach can come out to play?????

I'm down for this normally play dark elves but don't have a team at the moment

Thanks George, but it doesn't really help as I know there are teams on that list that are borrowed figures or not usable.  Trying to see how many teams are about so that if people are interested but don't have a team they can borrow someone's spare team.

I think from George's post confirmed teams with figures:

Doc: Human females (painted), Skaven (painted),
Female Dark Elves (paint flaking off), Female Wood Elves (Unbuilt & unpainted), Succubi (Update, soon to be shipped, might have for end of month )

Ally: Female Dwarves (painted)

Cameron: Undead (painted)

Allan: Norse (painted), Dwarfs (unpainted)

George: Lizardmen (?), Wood Elves (?), Orcs (?), Humans (?)

Anyone else with a team of figures I am not aware of.  Looks like there are maybe 10 usable teams about.  Which would take 9 months of league play, one game per team per month on "Sunday Afternoon Bloodbowl."  Maybe a 10th month to sort any tied league positions.

I would be happy to play.

Obviously not an up to date list but here is a list of what teams should be about.

How many Bloodbowl Teams are floating about out there & who would be interested in a League for this year. If 8 teams playing It would take 7 months, one game per team per month. Maybe an 8th month to play any ties to settle drawn positions.

I know I have Human Female Bunnies & Skaven teams ready. With an unpainted female Wood Elf Team sitting around if needed.

Who else has painted/unpainted teams to play or loan to players without teams?

Got a link to some of the changes to kings of war.
Apparently this was on display at mantics latest open day

Thanks ScotR. Thought this might be the case but always safer to ask! I'll just have to keep looking on eBay (and get ripped off big time for them as they are exceedingly rare)

I'll pay £40.50

Yup, deal! Let us know when you're next in, and I'll try and pop over from Irvine.
