I've never heard of needing to "call" MB in advance.

Can you elaborate?

Can't remember if it's in the book, but we always played that you had to say if you were adding the +1 to armor break or injury before you rolled the armor break test. That's probably what he's referring to.

I've never seen it played that way. How does it work in practice? Would you "save" the MB to try for the Injury, or base it on the player's armour?

Seems like playing MB that way reduces S skills to only Guard as a really useful one.

That is the interpretation I've seen other players make (incorrectly however).

Strength skills are maybe not filled with first-pickers, but they do have many skills in which are useful when you use players that come with them. And I wouldn't go high-tv Dwarves without Stand Firm... Side line brawlers surfing enemies to the crowd

@Ghaz, thanks for the reminder, just ordered these before the window on them shut.

I bought those and the quality was really top notch. Better than some of my past products from Forgeword...

Zug is now up on order.

mmmmm...not as impressed. If I need a zug I'll do 3rd party.

Preordered along with some chaos dwarf artillery.

Any dates for Dwarfs?
Any more word of Goblins or other plastic teams?

dwarfs are pre-order this weekend :

And Goblins were said to be more April time

Very Great news.
Does anyone know what the "Blood Bowl: Hall of Fame" Pack is? Player cards for the Star Players?

For some reason I thought Zug was going to be plastic. He's both?

That's a generic ogre, not Zug.

I have all the GW Zug figures. I quite like the 2nd, smaller Zug. Not a big fan of the "unreleased" helmet swinging version, but that one seems to be a "fan favorite".

This ones not bad. I kinda like it.

They are new play cards to go alongside the starter box ones. The star players cards will come with them and you got some in the starter box

That's an Ogre. Zug is human. A big human, to be sure, but definitely not Ogre sized. But there will also be two resin Ogres; Morg'n'Thorg the classic Star Player, and Grak of Grak and Crumbleberry, which might be the source of your confusion.

skaven/dwarf pitch and dwarf team are up on the NZ GW site if anyone wants an early look. Again, I hope the pitch isn't limited cause I won't have enough money to drop an order for a couple weeks. GW has bled me dry with the last couple releases.

Wonder what the odds are of getting halflings redone. Probably low, since they are in the online pack of legendary teams and not in a new box.

They already say sold out on the Australian store. Dunno if they'll be getting more in later.

Seeing 360's of the Dwarfs I don't mind them so much, if I ever finish painting the Skaven team I might pick up the Stunties.

I'm still not a fan of the flying Slayers, but it doesn't look too hard to just trim off the "support beard" and have them on their feet instead, maybe have them bounding off a rock or something to avoid having to cut up and repose the foot.

I've never really liked flying poses where the model is supported by something silly like their beard or cape, because to me it never looks like they're flying, it just looks like for whatever reason they have a magical beard or cape that is capable of supporting their weight.

Oh for feth sake, seriously GW.

Canadian site just seems to have it available as a bundle with the Dwarf team, dice and cards...in French.

Yup, guess I won't be seeing any of this stuff on my gaming table. Due to falce scarcity, lack of GW being able to keep up with demand. I mean how many GW releases have sold out on the webstore, the triumviriate, gangs of commorragh, all this stuff is next.

I thought people said the winter pitch was going to be restocked back at the open day? Unless I missed something it's been weeks upon weeks and no sign of it.

Dwarf Giants Dice sold out immediately in UK.

Dwarf dice sold out at 10.01 (uk site) wtf???

I'm sure your friendly neighbourhood scalper will be happy to sell you some next week at two to three times the price.

In the time it took me to log-in to PayPal from my basket, they sold out. I was... miffed (to say the least). Fortunely, I may have got a set from an independent retailer, but I was extremely lucky to do so.

Also managed to get a pitch, but was hoping the winter one would come back to coincide with the release.

GW *knkw* the demand is there, and they've had a long time to prep for these releases - why half-ass it with artificial stock limitations they way they have (and continue to do so)?

Easy.

GW weren't sure what demand for Blood Bowl would be, so have exercised serious stock control.

I appreciate this is third hand info, if not four, but the source is one I trust to not be yanking my chain.

Snowboard should be restocked by March/April time - and he expects we'll see the Skaven/Dwarf board restocked in time (possibly around the the same time, if they've upped stock predictions)

But, I seriously urge people not to give into temptation to buy from Scalpers. Whilst it'd be nice if GW produced more stock in the first place, we're collectively part of the problem too, because we're the damned fools that ultimately make it worth their while.
