Those BlOrcs are ace. Ghoulchewa has more mass on his arms than the ogre <3

But...I don't really want yet another Orc team. I don't want to hack up such nice minis and turn them into 40 nobs/skarboyz, either - I mean, I *do*, but I thought about getting a second set for that.

I'm just starting Ironjawz for AOS and I'll buy a set of the BLOrks and give them axes and stuff. They are just nice.

Looks like the new black orcs team will play most similar to lizards.

Skrull looks great, I assume the teaser is Gretchen Wächter?

Model look better than the art, that's rare.

That solves a rumour engine, doesn't It?

Yes and no. Unless you count their monthly teases as rumor engines. And we figured out what it was a few days after the tease

Yeah it never solves the rumour engines themselves. Just the blood bowl newsletter ones or wherever these come from.
I don’t think they’ve crossed over into RE in a long while now they do this monthly one instead.

At the moment, I can really only recall one rumor engine that was related to blood bowl. And I think it was the only forgeworld rumor engine too (ignoring the skeleton dwarf).

It was the goblin specialist with the chainsaw.

Had a game of the new edition, was fun! But very skeptical to how they imported stuff from Necromunda (particularly advancements).

the human and orc team was in unavailable on the web for weeks( I thought that due to factory problems), but now they have totally disappeared from the web.

for repacks they don't usually do this, right?


PD.neither are mixed teams like underworld.

Seems like the new Human and Orc teams are just completly replacing them

They outright said that they will be reboxing teams to have cards, which means they'll be new SKUs...which means that items usually get removed from the webstore.

All four teams have rules in the Blood Bowl rulebook.

For those of us that don’t usually follow Bloodbowl, is Akhorne a separate miniature or does he have to be taken with a tree?

And secondly, which teams can take him please?

Not had a great deal of interest in bloodbowl but for a tiny evil squirrel, I don’t mind starting a team lol.

He's part of the new Treeman figure, and he can play for any team.

So I’m guessing you can’t play him on his own, minus the tree man?
At least the any team leaves me free to pick a team.

He is separate on the Treeman sprue, you can simply glue him to a base like my one. And he can be played without a Treeman in the team, he is 80k odd.



Failing that, you can get a Squirrel in the Halfling team box, only downside is it is attached to a Halfling head.

The halfling head isn’t too hard to work around.

Or you could get the one from Greebo. Quite fitting for the frenzy part, but not really as cute.

Regardless, the models in the Blood Bowl box are not a replacement for the Human and Orc teams.

That's false, all teams from BB2016 released in plastic are officially supported in BB2020. Even the remaining 'core' teams are official now from pdf. Then there are 2 new teams in new starter box. If anything, Imperial Nobility may be replacing Human Nobility or even Bretonnia (even though they play different).

Yea but they're replacing them in stores so you can't bloody buy them no more




-Edited by insaniak. Please see Rule #1.

Managed to find an Akhorne on eBay that’s been printed.
Has a tiny horned helmet with spikes and a plated tail armour.
Looks like it will work perfectly so grabbed one.

Guess this is how I start bloodbowl lol, time to pick a team I guess.

Definitely get the rulebook first. It has the rules for all of the teams with each team ranked in three tiers according to difficulty. Tier 1 teams are the easiest to use while Tier 3 are the most challenging.

It will honestly be more of a fun thing than serious gaming.
I’ll likely pick my team based more on what I like the look of than actual useful stuff.

From what I’ve read though, snotlings and halflings are pretty bad no matter what.

Top 2 for me so far are dwarves (purely for the roller) and goblins due to their sheer amount of fun looking weapons.

I have a 100% win rate with snotlings.

In one practice game, but still!
