I don't know where else to post this so I am just going to post it here. I have recently been playing the Blood Bowl computer game. That inspired to try to get into an actual game of Blood Bowl. But I have no idea how to do that. Where do you get models? or the board? or the dice? or honestly anything. How does one start playing Blood Bowl.

Go to the Games Workshop website and click on 'specialist games'. Blood Bowl should be right in there.

The starter set comes with a playing field, counters, dice and all that, plus 2 plastic teams (orc and human). Metal teams can be bought also. I bought some Chaos guys a while back, but I haven't used them. Maybe I shall now...

There's a good amount of Blood Bowl info on these forums.
Good Luck.

There is a lot of information there on the official and alternative miniatures for Bloodbowl, as well as accessories (I made my own pitch, and templates, for example).

Some teams, like Skaven or undead, are easy enough to make conversions for as well. There are lots of good do it yourself options for BB, especially with the lack of strict WYSIWYG.

The Boxed game is a good idea so you get the board and dice.

The rules are freely available on line. From what I've seen,t here's been a few small schisms so some groups/leagues may use specific versions, but that's not a big deal... Especially since the versions required are all likely available as PDFs!

There's some web sites that sell aftermarket teams and players as well. For example, I'm currently painting a team of female dwarves...

Impact Miniatures has "Fantasy Football Teams" nice model too, there Deadlings are a fun warped version of halflings. Plus they sell "Tackle Dice" and its Lead writer of LRB5 and the CCRP site company. So you know its a labor of love for him.
