Kalahanarama Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 So I guess I am at a little bit of a loss. The previous Blood Bowl Leagues I have played in have been with close friends and we just threw up a game schedule of who plays who. Are we just randomly selecting which team we play, with the understanding that we need to get to everyone's team at least twice by the end of the League? As I don't really know anyone on this site (I have played some at Dark Tower but not a lot and have been a Lurker waiting for the right game conversation to jump in) so am having a little bit of Analysts Paralysis with starting out. I have my team all set to go, Any one wanna take on my Rats for their first game? I have any evening after 5 available (except Thursdays).

VonVilkee Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 I'll take that challenge just as soon as the weather is a bit safer... The team I'm actually going to use is at the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMGraham Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Pay for it? I'm gonna earn mine the old fashioned way! At Garrett's request, I'm moving this topic over to the main Blood Bowl forum, so that those without access to the 'Hamster forums can find it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the mechanics for it there is no reason not to buy at least a little... 4 re roll chaos team up and coming! So I'm planning on earning most of mine as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SigurdBC Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Well that's good to hear Corey, since it looks like you won't be able to afford that minotaur in your opening list. Those things are terrifying, at least until they wild animal for half the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Horns are so much better now! Last time I played you had to move before you got the extra strength now it is just as part of the block of a blitz action... Beast man runner!

SigurdBC Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Yeah Horns are really good and I had a lot of fun with them when I played a Nurgle Campaign in the digital Blood Bowl game and had some Pestigors do some serious damage with that skill. On another note Corey, I have made my list for my Norse team for what I want to run and I will be using your models that you've so kindly provided. Should I be aware of any models that you don't have for the specialty positions like the Norse werewolf, berserker, Yeti, etc.? I know proxying is a thing but just so I know what you do and don't have before I put my team on the pitch for the first time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to buy at least 1 FF at team creation. After that you earn the rest. Also, looking for a Friday game if anyone is interested. Lastly, has anyone completed a game yet? If so, don't forget to post/pm results! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonVilkee Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Also Kalahan and I got a game in Friday... Couldn't use the fancy special play card cuz no one currently at the store knew what it was... The blizzard that kicked up kept my teams dice cold and while playing 10v11 almost the whole game I lost 1-4. Edit: I'm also partly ashamed to report that the rat bastards caused more casualties than I... 1-none how that lineman badly hurt one of my beast men we will never know as they both went down in a tangle...

SigurdBC Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hey Corey we can totally play on Tuesday. It'll be fun, since our teams are both kinda bashy. Thanks again for providing your models. I'll be there about 6pm and we'll be able to get a game in easily. If anyone else wants to play on Tuesday let me know and I can try and fit a game in with you after Corey and I murder each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalahanarama Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 I am available Tuesday or Wednesday after 5 this week for a game, or anytime on Saturday or Sunday. The Rat Bastards are feeling good after their first game against Chaos. The Horned Rat looked favorably on them all through the horrendous Blizzard that lasted most of the game.

Otherwise I'm also available Wednesday if you want to work out a time after 5pm to play. A double header on Tuesday would be a little late for me. Cory and I were not done until like 8:00 last Friday. But I can definitely do Wednesday at 5:30 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SigurdBC Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Ok, unless something comes up on my end we can do a 5:30 game on Wednesday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SigurdBC Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Brendan's "Horny Alcoholics" vs. Corey's Chaos Marauders (Sorry Corey I didn't find out your team name) So, I received the ball to start the game with a casual gust of wind gently blowing as the two teams took to the pitch. The Chaos Gods did not look favorably at their servants as their armor didn't save them from the blows of the Norse drunkards who shouted "What day is it" as they flailed away. After many blows a Chaos Warrior eventually went down suffering an injuring along with a beastmen or two suffering knockouts. The Warriors of Chaos retorted, fighting for the ball and even KOing a couple of Norse linemen. The opening drive ended with a touchdown for the Norse team, made by Logan, most of the way through the first half. At the start of the second half, things got interesting. Down a few players, thanks to some beastmen not wanting to get back in the fight, the Dark Gods conveyed to their chosen an "ballzy" plan (pun intended). Seeing himself surrounded by Norsemen and the sun shining brightly in his eyes, a loyal Beastmen took it upon himself to run the ball to an awaiting teammate, who took the handoff, and literally hoofed it down the field. This put the Warriors of Chaos in range to score. However, seeing their chance at an unlimited amount of booze after the match slipping away, the Norse players quickly ran the Beastman and its escort down and wrestled the ball from him. Still deep in their own territory, the Norse team could only watch in horror as their ball carrier was blitzed by a Beastmen, using his horns to full effect, after which the same Beastman picked up the ball and ran it into the endzone for a touchdown. Now the score being tied, and through some bad luck, both teams found themselves even in numbers for the first time since the start of the game. Receiving the kickoff, the Norse team furiously protected the ball. As the result of some key blows by Norse players, a hole opened up and the Norse Catcher made a run for it. But wait, a Beastman was their to answer and with a mighty bellow blitzed the Catcher down and drove the ball from his hands. With the play lying on the pitch, the Norse team did something few would have dared. Blitzing the only remaining beastman in the area down, a Berzerker picked up the ball and handed it to the team's Catcher. The Catcher ran for it, diving for the endzone (twice), and scoring on the last turn of the game. An epic finish to an epic game. My thanks Corey for a great start to the League.

VonVilkee Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 While the head count was even for that final drive both chaos warriors were watching from the side lines... How is it that I keep getting out pummeled? I throw lots of two dice my choice blocks but my guys are the ones stunned and off the pitch... You just wait till I have reserves! Also I can't seem to make any money! Two games and my treasury stands at 40k with no purchases and I saved 10k from the initial team creation... Also my team is the Wasteland Wasters... Of opportunity apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SigurdBC Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 @ White Devil A question about League games came up in email today and I was wondering if you could rule on this. If someone already has their two League games in for the month would any other games that they played in that same month against someone who doesn't have their two games in count as a League game for that player? Hypothetically, I've got a game against Gar on Friday, but I've already got my two games in for the month after tonight. Would the game on Friday count for Gar's League games for the month or would he have to find someone who hasn't played two games yet this month? Just wanted your opinion on this.
