It maybe that the NAF community will be reached out to or has been. Since it impacts a product hey are trying to relaunch/sell. GW has a need to stop any promotion of events called BloodBowl. FW are a bit more on point when it comes to rules, not by much.Īs for the player communities, GW is in a difficult situation no matter what they do.īB as is should continue, since it is fan run there is no direct connection by GW and no investment needed from the existing tourney and playing scene. This isn't GW prime, it's Forge World/specialist games, and FW have a much better track record for writing and updating rules. Their track record does not fill you with encouragement. GW might see it as a quick cash injection, one and done release, but they have the potential here to destroy player communities. And finding the rules, team rosters and miniatures online is about as difficult as finding pictures of Kim Kardashian's butt, I'm afraid that's not an argument for relaunching the game.Ĭouple this with GW giving not one gak about existing player communities ( WHFB) and their ineptitude concerning the rule mechanics of current games ( AoS and the state of 40k) and you can see why I have concerns. I love the game, I have friends who love the game and travel abroad to play in tournaments. The player community for BB is massive internationally. Sorry but I think mine is a legitimate concern. Second, GW seems to finally be pulling their heads out of their butts on this. First, Bloodbowl always seemed cool but I missed it the first time around.

I know a lot of people who would be very upset at the prospect of that and the resulting split in the player base that would occur. My main hope at least is that they don't f*** up the rules. There's a massive amount of absolutely awesome third-party teams out there (check out ), so where exactly are GW needed in all of this? 900 players for the World Cup is absolutely nuts, and it's a testament to how well the game is designed and how well it has stood up to the test of time. Of all GW's unsupported games BB is definitely the most beloved by wargamers, and still has a massive network of leagues and players. Sure, just as long as they either work with or ignore the NAF - you know, the guys who've kept Blood Bowl alive while GW ignored it, and whose World Cup had 900 players attend in 2015. Even if the new rules suck arse, I can still play the old ones, and I have more than enough 40k bits to customize my minis to the old rules. If all goes well Dungeon Bowl will also see the light of the day. Several expansions are mapped out including the first one covering seven more teams and league rules. They are looking at neoprene pitches but as yet they don't know, it comes down to cost and if they can get them in large enough quantities and other factors but it is something they would like to have. There will be more pitches which will also be double sided (Dwarf/Skaven & Elf/Nurgle) with more possible later including tournament specific ones. There is also likely to be resin conversion sets. In total there will be six teams in plastic (Human, Orc, Skaven, Elf, Nurgle and Dwarf). The rules have not been changed, they are the rules which has been around for a while now. The pitch is double sided with a Human pitch on one side and an Orc pitch on the other. The release is hoped to be end of the year.īox set contains the first two teams, Orcs and Human in plastic. Thankfully he is a man with a lot of patience. Had a number of conversations with the team, especially Andy Hoare who put up with me going back about four times (though one conversation was mainly to do with Adeptus Titanicus). I will do a few posts covering today's event, starting with Blood Bowl. Warhammer Fest 2016 - Part One - Blood Bowl.
