The app is up. It is unfortunately a little basic in its design but it does have one perk. You can download an Ebook of the rules for £8 or season one for £13. You can get a bundle of both for £15 pounds. So if you already have teams and a pitch you can get all the new rules without having to fork out for the boxed game.

So you need the box for the rules?

In theory yes. In reality the CRP rules pdf is available online and is 99.9% the same.

The rules are also available to buy in the app.

There seems to be a pretty massive gulf in quality between the plastics and the resin minis at the moment which is a shame. A better sculpt would have found its way into a lot of aos armies too.

Bright Crusaders sounds Brettonian to me. That would be cool.

I think it's good? It's honestly hard to tell from that pic. It's definitely not rat ogre bad, but I need more pics to decide if I like it.

You can see the 360 on the new Zealand site. I kind of like the pose.

I would expect another 7 teams in season 2. Season 1 has elf and nurgle teams which are yet to get dedicated models so no kit does not rule out new rules.

New bloodbowl minis from the open day. The troll looks fantastic.

I saw the stream. The elf team is two identical sprues, but with 9 pieces per mini rather than three. The facemasks are a separate piece for example. There will also be a high elf pitch, one side of which is frozen. There will be dice, team cards and card sleeves released.
He reiterated the plan to do one team a quarter but did not say which is coming next.

That's surprising but brilliant. No mohicans on the sprue by the (blurry, admittedly) looks of it....

But I'm very pleased to see them going a more modular route. Separate shoulder pads will always be a good idea!

They said they were going to do a goodwinesque punk team as a resin conversion kit like they did for the bright crusaders.

Good lord, how many months has it been since the gobbos were released? Once the elves are out, then it must (hopefully) be nurgle's turn...

It has been too long, i think the release of the elves has been pushed back in favour of 40k and shadespire releases. My money would be on shadespire 2nd releases next week and possibly Elven Union the weekend after (preorder).

Anyone know anything about it?

The elf team was always said to be coming in November. I doubt that has changed. The next plastic team will come in the spring.

Listen to the warhammer live interview the other day. Nurgle is coming soon but not next. Lizardmen are still a way off. The next team will be 'surprising'. The almanac is not just a reprint of one and two but has a few things tidied up. It will include the FAQs that have been released so far as well as the white dwarf stuff.

He definitely said lizardmen were a way off because I was hoping they would be the next team and was disappointed. They talked a lot about haflings. One person in the studio is a big fan so it could be them but from the tone if the conversation it sounded like a plan for the future not something already made.
I am assuming it was something he did not mention, so not nurgle, haflings, lizardmen or generic Chaos.
It could be Amazons, Norse, khemri or undead. None of those were talked about.
He talked about having three categories. the teams they need to do (because they already have rules or have been promised) Nurgle is one of these. The teams they want to do like halflings and the teams it would be cool to do if they have time.

Sky isn't falling.

Necromunda is still fresh and new. More focus on that would be expected.

A new plastic team is incoming, we just don't know what it is yet. We will closer the time (May?).

This is in-line with the quarterly releases mentioned months back at an open day.

The last team was in November, so if they keep their promise of one team per quarter, the next team should be in March. Aside from just dumping it on the warhammer community site there has not been a suitable event to announce it at. The aos open day is on March 3rd so they may announce the next team then.

On warhammer live last year Andy Hoard said the next bloodbowl team would be a surprise. He was certainly correct. He also said Nurgle was on the way so I would expect them to be the summer team.

Has anyone seen the twitch of blood bowl? Any interesting information?

Thanks!

4 teams coming this year. Each will come along with an issue of the new magazine/ journal themed around that team Each issue will include rules, a comic strip drawn by Paul Nifton, tactics articles, agony Uncle etc. The journal will be £8. 3 have already been written and they are doing the fourth now.
The new team will be up for preorder next weekend (don't think Andy was supposed to say that).

Orc cheerleaders!

What's the third game they mention?

I don’t think they’ve ever revealed a new plastic mini on warhammer live before so I wouldn’t get your hopes up.

When the war sheep comes out, I may not be able to resist collecting a haflings team.

A lot of the extra bloodbowl stuff has been reprinted several times, especially the pitches. With warehouse space currently at a premium, GW probably thinks it is safer to do several smaller print runs, rather than ending up with a pile of pitches taking up warehouse space.

I always felt like the 2016 bloodbowl box was not a particularly good deal. Even with the recent price increases buying the box is like buying 2 teams and the rules with the other components thrown in. Usually gw box sets are cheaper than buying the plastic individually. It also lacked flair. It was just two decent looking teams, the rules and some standard extras.

The new edition looks much more interesting. The quality of the sculpts is better. You get two star players, two big guys, two coaches/mascots (One of them looks like a squig) and hardback rules. It feels like a better cross section of the full game.

The equivalent to the plastic/resin parts of this box cost about £135 individually. If they sell the box for about £90 or £95, I would be quite interested.
