Orcs and Goblins

Post by **Thadrin** » Fri Feb 22, 2002 7:42 am

Being ill yesterday and home from work I took the chance to go through my print out of the rules review. One thing I noticed is that NOWHERE does it mention Orc teams being allowed 0-4 goblins.

Now, considering that the Handbook, Death Zone Playbook and the rules review are the complete official rules - where's the official mention of the gobboes?

Do I just need to update my copy of the rules review?

I think it was mentioned in the Q&A section on the GW's new rules section.....

So, they are still allowed.

Yup, Lucy is right, they forgot to add it, so they FAQd it instead....

Technically it wasn't included in the rules review because it was already in the Deathzone book as a special rule. It's always been allowed. The rule will probably be modified when the allies rule are released.

Not trying to stuff words into neominal's mouth here ... but I think what he meant to say is:

"The official version of Blood Bowl is that 0-4 Goblins are allowed on the Orc team since the rule has always been in the Death Zone. In upcoming months, experimental rules for using allies will be published in the Citadel Journal which will probably address Goblins on Orc teams ... however these rules are experimental not official until the BBRC agrees to permanently add them in an October review."

Don't be annoyed neominal ... I just wanted to make sure that everyone here was aware that the exact nature of the rules you reference. A lot of the members of the board don't frequent the other boards and that your post could have been misunderstood in a vaccuum. Sorry for the post.

Thanks guys. I thought I'd been through DZ but I must have missed that bit...hell, i've had a head cold all wek. I'm allowed lapses.

I'm now going to cycle home from work in a snowstorm.

The term is to cycle...hence going cycling. Biking generally refers more to Motorbikes, ala DW and LF.

in the section of DZ that goes through all the (new) races, the section on gobbos DOES say that up to 4 gobbos can be in an orc team, but not vica versa. and i do believe that it is mentioned in the Q&A section of the review aswell

Found it. I was Ill at the time I reread everythng. I didn't remember it being part of teh DZ rules though.

At least I can use the two Goblin models I have knocking around as part of my new Orc team now. Just need to find a good troll model. Aren't there meant to be some new Big Guys being produced?
