The same evidence of your parameters for Some.

We been here for a long time not to be falling always for this silly argument hey? SHOW ME PROOF!

But Unicorns don’t have hands? They’d be much better at football, having four legs to kick with.
A Unicorn-riding star player though? Sure, why not.

We've already forgotten Lucky Luc. So sad.

Well, I like them! I'm also starting to think about how i could make a team based on Sir Pratchett's "Truckers" trilogy

Feegles. That’s what you want.

Unicorns dont have hands but been part of blood bowl lore for aeons. Point being, peeps just have different preferences and thats all good. Some think Gnomes dont belong, others cant accept unicorns while others love it all.

The argument its on the lore so auto fits does not really work for everyone because we all like different things.

YOU of all people should know that Feegles are PICTSIES not Gnomes Although I will admit they do rather slot into this particular violent game a bit better than short aliens.

On the other hand, now you've got me thinking again...... "Nae King! Nae Quin!"

Hmmm....big ball of cheese as a Morg stand in??? ....grrrrr

Doc, WHAT have you done????

I never compared them to Gnomes! Not once in my life!

They’ve got a cheap lawyer, and they’re no afraid to use him! Waily waily waily!

I'm utterly baffled that, of all things, this argument is happening about the intentionally wacky and wonderful game of Blood Bowl.

I've seen Blood Bowl games you people wouldn't believe. Original Space Fleet cobra destroyers throwing passes to epic great gargants, off the shoulder of Orion. I watched Nagash tackle a 40k Zoat on the old styrofoam pitch, at the original Dalling Road Hammersmith store. All those hilarious moments are lost on unimaginative young-uns, like delicious salty tears in the rain. Time to play gnomes.

That rocks.

Jordell Freshbreeze.

Can be hired by Wood, High, Dark and Elven Union Elf teams.




Seems to be a bit of a beast.

I love me some elves in blood bowl, but that is truly a horrific miniature

A head swap and it's not awful but it's, as is, it's kinda terrible. I can see what they were going with in terms of the ballet pose but it's hard to get past how crap that head is. Shame that it needed to be resin and resulted in cloth that thick.

Rules-wise, he's always been one of the best players in the game so nothing changed there beyond that special rule making him even more ridiculous. Very likely AV 8+ though so he's fairly fragile (provided you can actually knock him down).

I can see this model working with an Old School wardancer mask added. That and maybe convert the shorts into trousers.

Love the pose and movement of the model, that all seems well thought out. The head is nightmarish, I don't know what went wrong there.

Yikes not something I would buy.

A different angle to look straight at his face would have been really beneficial for this preview.

Maybe you could sculpt a paper bag out of greenstuff?

Gnomes pre-order next Saturday https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/03/31/sunday-preview-nightmares-pyres-and-gnomes/

Does anyone know which grass is used?

Gnomes already? I wasn't expecting them for a couple more months. I'll *ass*u*me* it's going to be a 2 week preorder again.

I'm just going to get the Spike!, not the team or anything else.
I'm kind of tempted to get a Treeman for my Wood Elf team though.

All preorders are two weeks now. Not sure if they’re ever going back to one week.

Don't forget that this year, the Pálinka Bowl will take place in early June.

Blue?

Team stats are up. No surprises there. It specifically says they are Halfling Thimble Cup, but don't get a discount on the Halfling Master Chef.

I like the "My Ball" trait on the foxes. Once you give them the ball, they won't give it back.

No take, only throw.

They seem oddly fun. Not hard to put down, but tricky to keep down.

The Illusionist might be particularly annoying, as you can be forced to follow up in a poor choice of direction, potentially leaving your defence open the Fox to run riot.

I wonder if the new Treeman will be plastic or resin.
And if they are going to keep selling both. I like the new one better than the old one anyway.

The new one doesn't have Akhorne the Squirrel though.
