Hi all,

Here comes game 3 in what looks to be a long, long, long 8 game season for my vampire team.
Here they are...in all their gold sparkly glory....Team Edward!!
http://bb.my-dichotomy.com/index.php?se ... 2&obj_id=9

Do I ditch spike?
I'm thinking of keeping him for now. He's not counting as team rating for my next game. (against a soft team to boot!)
He can't get the MVP for next game.

If I do really well on winnings and SPP, I can ditch him then.

Overall, the first 2 games were a bust. I was simply outgunned with an 11 man roster versus an orc bench of 13, and the khemri just pounded on me for 16 turns with no score by either side!!

Any thoughts?

Keep him, AG 4 players should never be afraid because of their low armour value plus he will probably kick th bucket in a game or too. Save the cash while he is striding the pitch. Vampires accumlate s.p.p fast so its not a big problem.


Also the name 'team edward' made me vomit in the back of my throat.

He he..that's the point. Un-adultered, nausea inducing, fad-riding idiocy!!!
.....plus it's a short season.

Couldn't you have made the team a sesame street referance instead? I like the name 'two bats ah ha ha!' anything but the book abortion that is twihlight. *gags* it ruins the memorys of other twihlights too. The zone will never be the same again.

I'm lucky that I've never read them....There's plenty of vampire references that work in blood bowl....but it had to be the teen fiction this time around :D

......Just wait until the necromantic themed team starts!!

Sack the niggles instead, they are bad biting material. Anyway you seem to have no choice on the matter, having 0 gold in the treasury and only 3 vamps. Imo 4 vamps is the minimum you should play with to maintain a credible hypno + ST4 blitz threat.

Hold on to him until you can buy a replacement vamp. He's the guy you can use to mark/hypno-gaze blitzers until then. :wink:
