Important question (4 me)

Dear Bloodbowlerz all over the world!

My BB-Team, the Mad Motherz (orcish), is made of converted WH40K-Miniatures. So my BB-foes ähem friends from Austria told me, that I couldn't use them for the Tournament - are they right or crazy?.

The models are very unique, so I would be very sad, if I had to use the plastic models or regular BB-Orcs. The rulez say that the models must be
Citadel Miniatures - so they are.

Because it is my first Tournament out of Austria, I don't want to make the mistake to go to the UK with a team I cannot use...

Thanks for any info
Otto (coach of the MAD MOTHERZ)

Hi Foe ähh friend,

Don't know who told you this but personally I think you can use WH40K minis (since it is a GW game and probably Citadel Minis). If you really can't use them you should better ask if your Black Orc Blocker can be used as Blitzer when you mark the base red.

The best would be you write to the GW guys (their e-mail is somewhere on the tourney rule pages

Juergen,
still unsure which team to take who also just had a crazy idea for an Orc team (no RR is crazy, right?)

Is a head coach model needed for the tourney or is it just for fun?

As far as i know you dont need a head coach model as 'you' are the head coach. Ny Norse team is converted to look like W'Wolves (got the idea from the Baskavil Howlers only mine are better

) and they let me use them at res so there shouldnt be a problem.....i hope. As long as each player is made to represent the correct position then your fine.

The one withe the skull and and the bird staff in his hands? He's nice. Do you have a pic? I'm building a website. Soon, i'll have pics to show.

He will be finished this week, along with (depending on GW) the rest of my team.

Hang on .. if I'm the Head Coach .. I am not an official GW model. *poses dramatically*, but I might be if they paid me enough

Although I'll go to blood bowl I'd like to see minis... I'vent decided yet my team but... does anyone know a good mini to be coach for a lizard or dwarf team?

What's the difference between a lizard and a dwarf team?

McSnaga · Post by **McSnaga** » Wed Jan 08, 2003 2:34 pm

For Dwarfs try

The Dwarf Runesmith or any of the dwarf longbeard command models. Nice musician for cheerleader too.

dauguet: lizards are taller and faster, dwarfs love beer

Snaga: those are the minis I though about... I own 3 dwarf cheerleaders too
