Wow those are amazing. Great work!

Beauty thanks. Voted

I don't understand question #2. Are you saying that cards can always be used as inducements, but you want to know which cards we want to use as free cards according to the new rules?

Very nice

Nope same team, sorry. They are named after Roman Emperors and sometimes I get lazy.

First match in the Premiership is in the books. The Dead Emperors pulled out a very close, hard fought and bloody match against Blustorm's Orcs.

The new Dwaf team will be available on Feb 4th. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/01/09/global-blood-bowl-league-and-dwarfs/ Also another errata and FAQ document (pdf warning!!): https://19070-presscdn-0-68-pagely.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/BB-FAQ-webready.pdf The number of different book and documents you need to have the full rule set for this new version of the game is ridiculous. GW is lucky this is such an amazing game because this release has been a complete cluster****. I'm kind of hoping they go back to ignoring the game for another decade.

Sorry if I missed it, but do returning teams need to do anything in Ordobowl?

It seemed to be snowing all day today in Newberg but nothing ever stuck to anything important thankfully. That 5 hour drive home a couple of weeks ago still has me traumatized. :D

Thanks and that is more than fair. Also I assume since nothing was mentioned we are using the old MVP rule (random pick of anyone on roster at kickoff) as opposed to the new D3 one?

I am back with my Necro from last season. The rules pack says that we will not be re-drafting our teams "at this time". How much warning would we get before this was changed for future seasons? That could have a potentially very large impact on future roster and skill decisions. For example I would have skipped the double on my Wight last season and taken a normal skill if I had any idea that something like this could come about. It's obviously water under the bridge now, but would be a big change to drop mid-stream in a persistent league.

Willy Miniatures has a pretty nice looking Skaven team, with a ton of already unlocked Stretch Goals, on Kickstarter. It ends in 44 hours. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/willy-miniatures/fantasy-football-ratmen-team-by-willy-miniatures/description

Also Star Players. What is teh status of them in the new version?

I mostly agree with michaels on the above. Whether Piling On needed a change or not the one they came up with is silly and I think makes it a skill that willl never be taken, removing it from the game.. I have seen other ideas that are decent: can only be taken on Big Guys (old version rule?), make it similar to a foul so a certain die roll gets the PO player sent off, or to the KO box, PO player has to roll armor, make fouling more effective, etc. The removal of the skill hurts a lot of other teams more than the CPOMB Chaos and Nurgle; those teams already have the ability to remove players without Piling On. It does hurt teams like Humans, Dwarves, Norse, Amazon, etc that need to remove players to stay competitive but now lose a major tool from the toolbox. As far as Claw goes I don't get too worked up, but I rarely play at very high TV even online, can't see it being a huge issue in this league. Also I have Werewolves. I like Human Catchers as AV8 instead of cheaper but not enough to get worked up over it. Wizards are a must have, especially if we are going to be adding new fresh teams to a league with teams that have already played a season. As a Necro coach I love the new MVP rule, no SPP on Zombies!! I do't know enough about any of the rest to really comment, though the rebuying of players would need to be carefully balanced. I've heard you get extra money for wins, TDs, Cas; if you aren't careful the strong teams could stay strong while weaker/newer teams might suffer. Again don't know enough details to know for sure though. My opinion on the cards is exactly the same as michaels, he hit every concern I have almost word for word.

In fo sho with my Necro

OK I actually re-read and paid attention to your posts this time and I am absolutely interested. I'll probably even buy the new box set from your store (don't be too flattered, I am very easy when it comes to spending monies on Blood Bowl stuff ). Keep us posted here.

I am very interested, as long as I don't have to own the new box set to play. I assume I will eventually get it but I don't see anything there that I really NEED. I have 1.7 copies of the 4th edition game including a full Human and Orc team, along with a bunch of other "3rd party" teams so I am fully capable of playing/hosting a match,

Not sure if it counts as a "leak" but there is a new GW website out for the new box version: http://www.bloodbowl.com/ Pretty bare-bones at the moment, but it has an unboxing video under the Start Here button. Rumors seem to be pointing to a late November release, but even those are pretty hazy.

I'm bummed I'm not able to make it up this year, I was really looking forward to it. Next year for sure. Good luck everyone, hope to see a trophy come back this way.

Very nice, I really like what you did with the cards.

I was hoping to run 2 teams next season.
