Jon, Robbie We were talking about this last Saturday; I was just reading up on new Blood Bowl and ended up at the official NAF website. This is what it says about the current rules (CRP aka LRB6): "....We have been the most popular source for finding the official BB rules since they were removed from the GW website in Spring 2014, but GW have asked us to remove them in anticipation of the new rules being released, so that players who are new to the game do not get confused. The CRP will continue to be used at NAF tournaments until further notice, but the document will be removed from thenaf.net at the end of June 2016, as it is a GW document. Therefore please do download it for personal use before then." But according to the NAF the rules are not changing (significantly) for the re release. So if you want a free copy before you have to pay GW for them go download them before the end of the month. |

Also interesting to see that James Hewitt is involved in writing the new BB (although if the rules are not changing from CRP, not really sure what writing he is doing?) at the same time as (I assume) he is working on Dreadball 2 for Mantic. What a sports game design whore!

Thanks, grabbed the rules just in case the new rules are a bust :-). |

Ask not the EldarVeteran a question, for you will get three answers all (probably) true and horrifying to know Models purchased/gifted 2015, 2016 and 2017 = 169, 130, 232. Models painted = 139, 83, 189 . Net impact on grey plastic mountain = 120 extra models to pile Models purchased/gifted 2018 = 39. Models painted in 2018 = 53 . Net impact on grey plastic mountain = 14 models off pile | |

He won't be working on DB2, he works for the big bad wolf now. |

There is an un-boxing vid for BB up on BoLS and BoW, I will be sitting down to watch it after work. |

Not the best unboxing video, always useful to see the components in an unboxing. From what I've seen, there is nothing in this set that really makes me sit up and go 'wow', there's nothing that new or innovative - it's all a bit 'meh'. That said, I am really looking forward to this just through pure nostalgia! There are more teams coming, expansions already planned - you mean it's actually going to be supported?! Here GW, take my money already, (almost) all is forgiven.... And while you're at it, reserve me copies of Adeptus Titanicus and Battlefleet Gothic!

Yeah, the last few un-boxing vids I have watched haven't been great, but it's nice to get an idea of the game. To be fair, any starter box won't have the "wow factor ", that will be reserved for the star player sculpts of BB, like The Mighty Zug and Morg N' Thorg and the like. Just have to start looking at an alternate mousepad pitch from somewhere .

I disagree James, I reckon Betrayal at Calth, Space Hulk, maybe even Dreadfleet (just don't mention the gameplay) had the wow factor as a box set, and that's just from GW, too lazy to think of others from other companies

Taking this OT for just a moment, two of those are a " gateway " into other games, while Dreadfleet was a stand-alone mish-mash of terribleness. Man o' War is one i hope to see again, the ships were great and i would love to see it rise from the ashes of Dreadfleet. Getting back to BB, i will have my wallet ready, all i need is a release date . I may try to be a bit adventurous and run a Dark Elf team, like i have on BB2 on my PS4. November 25th / 26th is being spoken of ( in hushed whispers ) as a potential release date, as there is apparently an event happening as well.

Going back OT, they may be 'gateway' but that doesn't make them any less impressive as stand alone games, and whilst Dreadfleet may have been gameplay poor, but it was content rich esp. the quality of the ship models, plus a nifty game mat. Ditto on Man o' War though ![]() Back to BB, any mention of dates I've seen have been along the lines of 'by Q1 2017' but I honestly can't see them missing the Christmas market with this (that is unless GW deny the existence of Xmas, just like they deny the existence of other game systems ). It's certainly near the top of my Christmas list. Are Dark Elves one of the teams scheduled for a release?

Not from any scuttlebutt that i can find, it's just me future planning with the game in mind. |

My team will be called the " Crimson Fists ", trained by a coach called Pedro and have Griff Oberwald and the mighty Zug in it ( when they are released of course ). You never know, they might even get painted, stranger things have happened out in the chaos wastes .
