Oh god the rules are a mess again!

Skills will be given after the game, as normal. And there won't be any dice-rolling for skills (just in case both mysteriously rolled a double).

Olaf, you were there last year, weren't you?

[olaf]

yes, so only 5 normal skills?

Just posted on the Games Workshop site, it still doesn't specifically mention the Pro Elf, Necromantic and Khemri teams:-

Blood Bowl and Epic Tournaments Update - 2/15/2005

We’ve received a number of emails asking us which teams or armies may be used in the Blood Bowl and Epic tournaments being held at Warhammer World later this year. Unfortunately we failed to update the rules from those that were used for last year's tournaments, an embarrassing mistake for which I apologise unreservedly. Systems have now been put in place to make sure that similar mistakes can’t happen again in future.

What the rules packs should say is that players can use any officially published Blood Bowl teams or Epic armies. In addition, the official errata and FAQs that can be found on the Blood Bowl and Epic websites do apply in this year’s tournaments.

For Blood Bowl this means that you can use the following teams: Human, Orc, Dwarf, High Elf, Skaven, Dark Elf, Chaos, Chaos Dwarf, Undead, Goblin, Halfling, Wood Elf, Norse, Lizardmen, Amazon, and Ogres & Vampires. Please note that the Ogres and Vampires were missed out of the list in the rules pack, but will be allowed at the tournament.

In addition, the errata and FAQ from the 2004 Rules Review will apply in this years Blood Bowl.

For Epic this means you may use the following army lists: Codex Astartes, Steel Legion, Ghazgkhull Mag Uruk Thraka’s War Horde, Speed Freaks, White Scars, Biel-Tan Eldar Craftworld, Baran Siegemasters & Warlord Snagga Snagga’s Feral Ork Horde. The Speed Freak and White Scare lists can be found in the New Rules section of the Epic website. The Biel-Tan, Siegemaster and Feral Ork lists are currently in the Swordwind files that can be found in the Experimental Rules section of the Epic website. Note that although the last three lists are currently experimental, by the time of the tournament Swordwind will have been published and the army lists contained in it will be ‘tournament legal’. Last but not least, the Errata & FAQ from the Epic website will apply at the tournament.

My aplogies, once again, for the confusion over the armies and rules to be used at this years Blood Bowl and Epic tournaments. If you have any further questions about the events then please don’t hesitate to email me with them at jervis@games-workshop.co.uk.

You missed Jervis's second correction. Am sure that you weren't the only person to do so.

Further to today’s earlier Blog entry, please note that the following teams from the 2003 Rules Review may be used in the Blood Bowl tournament: Khemri, Nurgles Rotters, Necromantic, & (Pro) Elf. The rules for these teams can be found in the 2003 Rules Review

Today's Specialist Games blog:

Last week I posted a couple of Blog entries with corrections to the rules for the Blood Bowl and Epic tournaments. A number of people have asked whether these will be sent out to players, just in case not all of the players happen to read the Fanatic blog. I’m happy to be able to confirm that copies of the corrections will be sent out to all participants over the coming week or two.

That's the best news I have seen so far out of GW. Well done Jervis (or Tournament Staff).

[grotuk]
