The only problem I have with custom team/faction/army accessories is the color, often I go with a different color scheme.

Buy dice from Chessex then?

I have a few sets of Chessex block dice. They are very nice.

Just saw this in GW's news app: the BB app will be released on the same day as the general release of the game.

There is also some info what it does

Damn those comments by Jim and Bob are good. Always good.

Any idea what that app might cost?

Can't imagine Grandma Wendy giving anything away...

Here's hoping this app is better designed than the Silver Tower one...

Hey, they're managing to release it for the more widely used platform at the same time as the iHipster version, so that's some progress at least.

This exclusive Special Play card for pre-ordering via the GW site, is it for certain BB items? Or could I get one for ordering just the Skaven box?

Special play, not star player. It's on GW's home page. Just look at the first advert for Blood Bowl. There's a mention in the lower right-hand corner of the ad.

When i ordered my box it was added to my cart automatically when i added the box, so you should be able to check by added the skaven team.

I keep hearing about scale creep.. Anyone has pictures of the new miniatures compared to the old ones??

The humans are a tiny bit bigger. The Orcs are much bigger than the old BB plastics but then those Orcs were tiny.
Other than that they are "in scale" with late eighth edition WFB, as they should be.



On a completely separate topic, does anyone else want to see a Savage Orc team in the game? I mean, there are four kinds of elf team already….

Personally, not fussed about Savage Orcs, want to see Amazons most.

How large are the bases.
Old standard or 32 mm?

The bases are 32mm.

This is pretty amazing.
I'm playing to field a team of wood elves. Fast and decent passing.
Not sure about the models.

I'm building Dark Elves at the moment. Mostly using the 40k Wyches, but converted with bits from here and there and quite a bit og green stuff. I figure, the sooner I get my Dark Elves almost done, the sooner GW releases their version. :-D

I guess I'm trying Wardancers and whatnot.
Maybe Sylvaneth as linemen.

You guys do now that there are many, many alt companies making, well, everything these days, right?

Of course we do. That doesn't mean they offer what all people are looking after.

Not the same prices, not the same materials, not the same design, not possible to take it when you want at your favorite shop...Plenty of reasons, really.

Fair enough.

Is there any word on timing for the second two teams?

3rd edition (1994) and the new (7th?) edition Human Linemen:

Dat be some of that there scale creep.

Here's a pic I took last month for the review. Bear in mind 32 base sits slightly higher. Played existing teams with new plastics & it's fine. Just better sculpts. But you can use your old team, convert models, buy from Comixinios/3rd party, or wait until your preferred team is released.

When you mean buy from 3rd party, you still can't bring them into a GW right? That would be too good to be true!

Yeah you can't, but a lot of leagues have been flourishing for some time when GW didn't even acknowledge the game's existence!

But if you're gaming at a GW, you'll have to stick to their models - lots of cool ones to convert BB players from, of course

I don't out if respect for the store but you can use them anywhere else, or maybe even in GW store is cool with that. If you want to play, and want a certain team look, you'll make it work. BB really shines at league play. If you can't find players the Internet can help with that. But I'm glad to see so man you leagues already cropping up.
