Limited edition trinkets and doo-dads - even miniatures - are fine. Limited edition rules? Not so fine.

And if you don't like the new sized pitch use the old one. It'll still work.

Do we have any more concrete info on the prices and if the Dwarfs/Season One book are coming straight after the release (the next week) or later down the line?

I believe the supplement and the skaven team are released at the same time as the game -- maybe week after or something.

GW store (though I had my review box weeks before them) has release event marked as main box and skaven. Can't promise exact date on book and dwarfs (two most crucial gaming items evah, of course ) but feel like it would be mid-December at latest to make sense with holiday plans. And events at Warhammer World.

As for the pitch, a buddy from our league made a kickass custom pitch with dugout for his Stealers (it's Orcified Pitts Steelers) and really all he needs to do is just glue a strip to the opposite end and repaint the squares and done.

Why would he need to change the pitch at all?

Fair enough. But why gw feel the need to make the pitch bigger and the range ruler, well, yeah, dicks.

So that bases fit properly and it looks better. Are you dumb or just trolling?

Well, little boy, I've been playing the game since the first edition. I would like gw to stay consistant.

Are YOU trolling, or just a gw kiss ass?

You could've just said Dumb and saved yourself the - oh, nevermind.

Haaaahahahahahahaha

I like the bit in the November White Dwarf "Temporal Distort" article when discussing an old Andy Chambers BB article it states:

"It may also prove useful in the very near future, as Blood Bowl will soon be returning to the shelves. Next month, in fact! Keep your eyes peeled and your spiky balls handy".

Seems that current GW continues to enjoy dropping hints, even if it is a worst kept secret such as the Blood Bowl release.

Well funny thing is not everybody reads internet.

I really wasn't sold on the new version of blood bowl. I already have three teams, dice, templates.
But seeing these unboxings (particularly the comparisons of the models to the 3rd edition models). My orks are tiny and not as detailed as the new ones. I don't have a human team, so that is a bonus.

I'm slightly miffed because I recently completed my Baltimork Reavers ork team and Loch Risk Warhawks human team using the 3rd edition starter plastics. But seeing the new starter, it looks like both teams are going to get a facelift.

HA! Baltimork. Genius. Some old bay on the bases and a halfling cook making crab cakes and it'll pretty much be like home.

A companion app to use alongside your game? Designed in house? YES PLEASE!

Any prices yet. The Dwarves look great. I may get them just to creat the Dwarvy Miners vs. Orcland Raiders. They have had a serious rivalry for years!

Yup, app will be useful to keep track of your team(s) and running leagues with other players, especially if they also use the app, you can wirelessly share information and keep track of scores and whatnot.

I dont like the upscaling of the board/dugouts. the current board was a decent size to put on a table at the pub and being compact is always a good thing when travelling to play in leagues etc.

I guess there is 1 advantage, I do prefer to play with the board positioned 'side to side' whereas most people prefer to play 'end to end', with the board getting bigger and overhanging most tables maybe we will see a return to 'side to side' coaching

I love that Skaven team! Very characterful . I guess mr Rat-Ogre is getting released separately?

contents page for the Deathzone supplement

There's no Goblin team? But we hear it's to be one of the plastic teams.

Maybe it's in the main book then, not the supplement.

But then why have Goblins but not Skaven and Dwarfs which are the next two releases?

They are allowed to make more than one supplement book, you know….

Perhaps that is it, they might be holding them back to have a plastic team for the next supplement while the other teams in deathzone come out in resin

I'm guessing that there will be further supplements to cover more of the teams. I'm waiting on Norse myself.

I wonder if we'll get a stunty-themed supplement, as Halflings are not listed in the contents for Deathzone either.

Is Death zone Season One, more new teams in future seasons



Season One teams:

Human
Ork
Skaven
Dwarf
Nurgle
dark Elf
High elf
Wood elf

It doesn't look like the app nor the season one book has the core rules for the game which is disappointing for me. I want to play dwarfs, and was hoping not to buy the main box.

GW still offers the current Blood Bowl rules for free, their events this year used them. I think the app will have the basic and team rules - either for free or a small amount. SDS/FW is going to make money with the models and pitches and not the rules which are all over the net

We have a date, Bob!

I'm flattered, Jim, but I see you more as a friend.

No Bob, for the new season of Blood Bowl. Up for pre-order on November 12th – amazing news for any fan of this, greatest of games.

- Jim & Bob


hardly news by this time, but official none the less from the bloodbowl facebook page

So wasn't something also supposed to drop Nov 26rh or so?

Apparently some GW stores have a "black-out" date for a midnight release on the 25th, and most people assumed it was Blood Bowl. No telling now. Daemon Magnus and 1k Sons? I'd think they'd want more time between big releases like that so one doesn't step on the other.

It'll just be a two week preorder.

Well, I mean it's technically possible the whole thing has been a huge misdirect and we're getting a something outlandish and surprising, but Occam's Razor and all that - Blood Bowl coming back is a huge deal for GW so I can see them wanting as big a buy-in as possible.

We have a date but do we have a price yet?
