@Feeder: I have always thought S3 Orcs/Orks were silly.

Does any one have any idea about what will be included in that App? I know it mentions you can keep track of your teams, which is super handy in my opinion, but more specifically I'm wondering if it will be able to keep track of older teams not from the base game or season 1 (like my Undead team for example). If it could keep track of all the teams not being released in this go around, it would be fantastically useful.

But when will the dwarfs come out!?!? At £20 a team it is going to be an instabuy. It makes me question why the box is £65 however if teams are going to be £20 each.

Boxed set sounds expensive-ish compared to price of individual teams. However, boxed set with Death Zone expansion, Skaven Team and Skaven dice combined is still cheaper than Deathwatch Overkill. I can see the value.

I can't see the forgeworld teams being £20 ! Lol but yeah skaven and drawfs will be on the Xmas list for sure

The Forge World sculpted Dwarves look nice. I just hope they did something in the rules to make them more desirable.

You want Dwarves to be more desirable?
Could you please explain what you would be looking for as I am in the "What is s/he talking about?" camp on that statement.

Agreed. Dwarves are on my clubs banned list. Short leagues start them at far too much of an advantage.

So what does the price of BB say for the future price of a new Necromunda?

Iain.

I think much depends on what kind of terrain approach, if any, that they take.

Nah, the guys this weekend slotted Orcs for AoS or for me, 40K, but the models are so great they could be multiples. Hell, one dude is getting the skaven team to have and use in AoS.

I'm not a big fan of this scale creep TBH. I'm supposed to believe the Orcs and Humies from the new box are both S3?

Well me neither. The human team looks good as do skaven but don't like the orc team at all. Too much AOS style. So were I to have money to buy the box I would get rid of the orcs and buy skaven team to have 2 good looking teams to play with.

Weren't high armour teams supposed to be at their best in long leagues? Could swear read that from this thread. Been years since I last played BB though.

Does anyone know the australian price....? I hate to think....

By desirable, I assume you mean tone down? They're bloody hard as nails for early games. Especially since nearly everydwarf starts with Block, are tough as nails and get plenty of strength and toughness skills. My ancient Chaos All Stars had a hard time against them, constantly falling over when attempting a tackle as the Dwarf players stood there and laughed. That is until ole bucket head, a Chaos Warrior, managed to get dodge (nice roll, that), block and stand firm in a string of lucky games where he got enough skill points. They stopped laughing then...

That team-wide block + high armor is just too powerful early on (and stays great, mind you).

A moron can wall-up, the laziest of Blood Bowl strategies, and find reasonable success.

lol, reminds me of my first ever BB match where I was so noob that I tried to play dwarves with a passing game against wood elves.....and still barely lost.

Do I have the previous edition? - Yes
Am I excited about this release? - Yes
Will I buy this? -Yes

But.. I am in no rush to buy it, my game group is on hiatus right now and will wait till everyone is ready to play..

I've just read through the last half dozen pages, and forgive me if I missed it, but do we have the price in USD yet ?

Like Genoside07, I have Blood Bowl already, but the new plastic rangefinders and templates, as well as the beautiful miniatures, put this on my shopping list, none the less.

99 bucks.

Natfka leaked a list and despite the typo in this one his price list images are usually correct (because they are from a GW order form).

I went ahead and bought those brutes. Trying to figure out how they measure up to the bb orcs to decide what they're going to turn into, but I'll definitely be able to field four blockers and four blitzers from the start...

Though my current team of choice involves goblins.

Yes, I talked about it with my uncle and his sons. Humans, orcs and skavens are already taken, so it leaves the dwarves. At this price, these lil grumblers are definitely be bought right when they are released!

The renders are really convincing. Now I wonder what they will manage to do with the elves...

I just asked the question in a store and was quietly told "around $165 for the box, $50ish for Skaven team".

Those CAD prices are actually a lot better than I was expecting. FX of ~1.18 for everything, I'll buy it.

I was told the following
$160 for the main box
$40 for the book
$55 for the skaven team

and that with a discount

via FB

Only 120$ for bloodbowl? I was expecting prospero/assassins/death watch pricing.

Good golly, sign me up. If I buy one and split a box with my friend to get more human blitzers, I will have spent as much as I was expecting to to begin wit for one box.

And if it was't known, Deathzone Season 1 has regular Dwarfs, but all four flavours of Elf.

I do wonder how the Chaos Dwarfs will be in this new edition. No hobgoblins? Hopefully, the blunderbuss star player will still appear...

Can anyone list what teams are considered official?

Are we only going to get rules for Humans, Orcs, Skaven, Dwarfs, Nurgle and Elves until season 2 or whatever their next supplement will be?
