They are going the 4th ed route. That deathroller is stupid big.

Its like the last one they made...Too big and "over the top". They forget the fluff.That roller is supposed to be grounds equipment.

I think its a bad model.

I saw a pic from blood bowl community - it actually fits within the squares. There's no issue having one model on a team that's too big for a square, within reason. I'd argue that big guys mostly look better on 40mm bases, even though they spill over their square. It's when you have an oversized ogre or chaos pact team that size becomes an issue.

I think the roller looks pretty sweet myself. A solid resin sculpt. And yeah, it'll overhang its square, but not by so much its neighbors won't still fit in there's.

Have to rebase that.

I want to play dwarves in bloodbowl, but their new armor looks silly to me. Dwarves should wear leather or chain mail with lords in full plate, not bodysuits with angular pads

I like the idea and one day I would make a whole Dwarf army,just not these or their AOSdwarves.

There are MANY dwarf teams out there.

Don't let granny tell you what to use. Black Scorpion makes dwarves like what you want.

And for $35 a squad.

I love how he's drinking! HA!

Iron Golem dwarfs with the Vortice deathroller is IMO the best looking dwarf team out there. The price reflects it, but they're gorgeous miniatures.

Completely new to bloodbowl but I'm sold with the dwarves.
That roller is too good to pass up.


On a side note, I noticed the teams on the BB website.
Quick OT question really, but I noticed lizardmen teams consist if saurus, skinks and up to 1 kroxigor.
Do the saurus/skinks get roles? (blitzers, linemen etc)

Got a ton of lizardmen models spare and want to convert them, but if they do have specific roles I want them to look the part.

No, Saurus are just Saurus and Skinks are just Skinks. It can be a blessing and a curse, as Saurus are pretty good at bashing (really good once they get block and/or guard), and Skinks are really good at running around quickly, exploiting openings, and moving the ball long distances, but it is very ill advised to use one type of player to do the other's job. Even though Lizardmen have only 2 regular types of players and a Big Guy, they can feel like a diverse team.

I have the old metal GW dwarves swimming in simple green right now, but I have been eyeing those Iron Golem dwarves . They are just too pricey on my budget, but I might splurge anyway.

Cheers kommissar

Means I can get started on them tomorrow.
Since I got a ton of spares I may as well build a maxed out team.
That way I can swap and change as I need.

Just didn't want to pour hours of work into converting a team and then find it doesn't look right lol.

Clearly the low cost deathroller model. it doesn't have blinkers or a cup holder The team didn't have money for the Gran Turismo version?

The "Team Titan Cards" are going up. What exactly are they?

Cleverly worded cross-over with Knight Miniatures.

Technically they call them Skink Runners and Saurus Blockers now, but yeah, all lizards of the same race are the same.

"Builds on both the cards included in the boxed game, as well as the Blood Bowl Special Play Cards: Hall of Fame (200-03-xx). Split into two decks the Benefits of Training and the Dirty Tricks decks."

Where does one buy the Vortice Miniatures? Cant find an online store for them, depending on price might go with their Deathroller.

I think the only sell direct, their facebook https://www.facebook.com/vortice.miniatures/ says

Thanks for the clarification

What do you mean no cup holder? He's standing right there. And he can probably blink too, though maybe not in perfect time if he'd holding more beer than the cup…

I Actually dont mind that death roller, I would never use on the pitch though, waste of points in my opinion !

Super fun waste of ponts.

It benefits greatly from "Get the ref" and Referee's rest area stadium upgrade (BB2). Best situation is if you can stop the opponent from scoring first half, and use bribe in 2nd half when dwarves receive the ball.

Got a reply from them on FB, they are in the process of putting together a new website.

Why is the Troll still shrouded in mystery? My local is taking pre-orders!

Haha

Plenty of people would agree with you as well !!

Personally, playing dwarves is as far from super fun, as it gets !

They play very monotonously yes. I find them fun in competing against bash teams, where their biggest challenge is.

But wouldn't you say Khemri is an even more boring team? Dwarves are elf-like in comparison.

What's your take on the new Star Players? I think GW messed up big time, seems they have forgotten that every single previous Star Player has the Loner skill. The Nurgle Star Player in Death Zone Season 1! does have Loner, but all the rest does not have it.

And Grak & Crumbleberry is just horrendously underpriced for that Ogre alone, not to mention the kick team mate which is much better than throw.

I do prefer Khemri slightly, but not much more, I am not a fan of bashy teams on the whole if I am honest and after twenty odd years playing the game, I am still getting used to using them !

I thought that the star players still had loner, I am not at home but I am pretty sure I saw loner listed in the star players summary at the back of the deathzone book.
As far as I am concerned every big guy and star player should have to make a roll before performing an action, that is always how it has been, it makes up for the blatant advantages they they give and also encourages a player to keep his team alive.
It really sucks if they are going to start bringing out star players with no loner skill

Please trolls and goblins for AoS with this style.

Looks good. Hope there is an alternate hand, I've never been fond of "Troll in the act of TTM" pose.

Shame there's no option for not throwing a Goblin.

Hand swap with AoS Fellwater Troggoths? It should be easy to cut out the wood stick from their fist since it's all plastic.
