Blood Bowl Leaks

It should stay out of print if they're not doing anything exciting or new with the game. Using the same base ruleset is meh. Lots of companies already make nicer mini's & boards. Even the small rule changes bb2 made were preferable & going even farther would be a welcome change (I'm looking at you clawpomb). So if they're not changing anything & everyone makes their product better, why are they reprinting?

I'm not so sure having GW support is necessarily a good thing. Last I checked they still hate their customers. ;)

Well, I'm only going to LVO for Blood Bowl because of their rumored support. Yes, there are lots of good (and frankly, really bad) non-GW models out there. However, the new set is perfectly positioned to get new players. I think Ordo as a whole could use an injection of new members, and a new version of Blood Bowl is just the way to do it. Plus, the average AoS or 40K player is more likely to give Blood Bowl another try with a fresh set from GW. I for one, am really, REALLY excited to see how many new Champions we can add via the OBBL.

hello everyone !

Photos of the orc team.
I didn't glued all of them because linemen have some sort of tabard in the way.
The push and fit is solid and they hold enough to play without glue.
They were hard to assemble because they have a big number of spike all around and it's hard to know where you can touch the mode ! ^^
But on the other hand they look awesome !

/cheers.

Blood Bowl: Board size comparison

Hello everyone !!

Just a quick size comparison with the older (homemade board)
The new board is a lot bigger 91 *54 cm (new) vs 77 *57
More importantly : one box is now 3.6 * 3.6 (new) vs 3 * 3
30*27 folded ! (thx Bad meat) / added a folded picture

The new pass ruler invalidates older boards.

As seen on the image if you use the new ruler on an old board you get one extra quick pass box.
So use an older pass ruler on old board and new ruler with new board.

worst case you can use this chart

Tbh i never use the ruler, it's easier to count i think !!

Guardian Games will begin accepting pre-order sales on Blood Bowl tomorrow, and they're receiving the extras like displays, the league kits and more. I recommend buying your box from there if you're local, and if you pre-order before Thanksgiving, you might just receive some special pricing :)

I had a weird experience at Guardian Games this morning. I went in and asked about the pre-order of Blood Bowl, and the employees were confused. One told me that the only thing they could do is just take my name and number down and call me when it comes in. The other said that a box arrived yesterday with a demo setup, but no one put it together yet.

 

The BloodBowl.com website lists Guardian Games as one of the only local game stores in the Northwest doing pre-orders and the site says the listed stores would be doing demo days today. Sadly, it looks like no one at Guardian Games prioritized doing this?

 

I ended up driving out to the Games Workshop store and doing a pre-order there, although by the time I arrived, the Skaven Dice were already out of stock for pre-order. I wonder if those will become available again later or if that was a one-time run.

My apologies, it's not pre-order sales, it's a list of people to be contacted/reserved copy. Any pricing advantage will only be available if you get your name written down.
