1. Why is there no pledge level to buy a 16 player (without Deathroller) or 17 player (with Deathroller) team? It seems silly that option isn't available.

2. Customisable poses are great.

3. Seems a bit pricey for a resin team.

I am not griping or bemoaning. I am just stating that I, me personally, do not like them. I am stating that I find them too robotic for my tastes. I am stating that I personally think of Steampunk as something different then these. I am glad that someone does like them. It is just not me.

I do like the modular concept and, as stated, I like the deathroller enough to pledge for it. I like the deathroller a lot.

If you cannot stall out for an 8 turn drive to score with dwarves then you need to go and play canasta with your dad..if you can find him.

Love the coach, but find the rest of the team a bit 'meh'. A team of similarly styled dwarves rather than robots would've been great.
Veering off-topic slightly, these models are being produced with 'high-resolution 3D printers'. Haven't seen models like this before, anyone know what the quality is like?

Probably because they produce the teams that are played the most (from their point of view).

It is quite difficult to be innovative when you're betting with your money... There is a fine grey line between what all the people is already doing and something too much far away from ortodoxy.

I'd just like normal modular Dwarf Bloodbowl players instead of gimmicky Gladiator/Roman/Biker/Pirate/Robot Dwarfs who have wandered onto the Bloodbowl pitch.
