A lot of GW games coming out at the moment, the Warhammer ones looking to be the best of the bunch.

Hopefully the roster is like the end of Blood Bowl 1, I don't think I could swap over if the roster was as bland as the first one.

I need my Nurgle team! And the newly created Khorne team was pretty cool with a nice theme as well.

I'm excited. I have been since it was announced a few months ago.

Loved the first but ,man was it buggy especially for online play.
I know they fixed that all up but hoping for a smoother release and more polish this time around.

Some cool teaser vids here:

RPS: It comes with eight teams right out of the box, Blood Bowl 2? [Humans, Orcs, Dwarfs, High Elves, Dark Elves, Skaven, Chaos, and Bretonnians.]

Sylvain Sechi: Yes, that’s the idea. We still have not decided what will be the distribution for the next races. That’s also a big topic. Only eight races at ship, just like Blood Bowl 1. It’s a pity for players that have experienced Blood Bowl 1 because they bought the extension and with the extension they got up to 24 races, yet we wanted to improve a lot the quality of the races – much more detailed characters, and make sure we integrate more fully each skill for the races we have to add at some point.

I personally don’t like to milk players, I’m not keen on the extension package retail model, so we are discussing a lot about trying to sell players races individually, which will eventually I think cost much less for players because you don’t play with all races. Each of us we have two, three, four favourite races, some of which will already be in the Blood Bowl 2 original content. We’re still discussing it at this point, I hope we manage to do this one-purchase-per-race stuff.

Unless they give us a damn good reason to think otherwise, I'd say Cyanide doesn't deserve your money for this. Their support for the original game was inadequate, and their belief that we should just keep starting over again and again is irritating.

Bretonnians.. Almost tempted right there.

But yeah, I'd buy it on a sale but not likely full price.

Getting it anyway. Because I want to play Blood Bowl with better graphics.

I love how we're still calling the Empire team the "Human" team, and the Bretonnian team the "Bretonnian" team... it's like either the Empire isn't a thing, or Brets aren't human...

Who plays BB to play manlings? Nobody, that's who.

And yeah, I'll wait for Blood Bowl 2: Moneygrab Edition, preferably on a sale...
