I want to start playing blood bowl.
I have a team set up, the rule book printed out. but im missing these things.
The Dice, rulers and a pitch. I am currently making a pitch, but I need help with the rulers, what are the mesurements Etc? also do you guys have any tips on making balls and last but not least, what symbol appers twice on the dice.
Thank you for any help!

ok symbol that appears twice is the puch back result (the arrow)

making balls, the easiest way is with green stuff to roughly the right shape et voila. just let it harden and paint up. alternatively go to www.hereseyminiatures.co.uk and order some miniatures from there in the deathbowl range and they should send you a couple of free balls as well.

as for ranges i think it works out as first 3 ranges 100mm last one (long bomb) is 80mm there's a space that you put over the thrower which is around 40mm ish but not exactly sure about that.

Wow thanks, if possible could you get me exact ranges?
Also I dont mean to be a pain but what are the mesurements of the blood bowl squares?(the ones on the pitch)

pitch squares are around 28mm or 29mm something around that. i'll take a look tonight and let you know about range ruler measurements and pitch squares.

You can find printable versions of the pitch over here:

Maybe there are also some range rulers and other tamplates.

For dice, ypu can use a D6:
1=Skull
2=Skull/Pow
3,4=Push
5=Push/Pow
6=Pow

played like this for ages ...

Not really. Just to show the difference, all dice have the same lay out. Let's just say SKULL equals 1, your block dice woul look like this:

Code: Select all

 1       SKULL
423  POW  PB   PB/POW
 6        P/S
 5        PB

Eh? You do know that different Block dice runs have different results on different faces, right? What difference does it make?

AFAIK there isn't extra for shipping or anything. Its US$10 to join the NAF - and you'll get your dice in the post (eventually).

Anyway - look on eBay for dice - I'd be surprised if including shipping etc you got a set substantially cheaper.
