your line up means they can have sure hands, pass and catch - with NOS to remember and big hand, so they already have a few re-roll skills with extras the of NOS and big hand. because of this, id make the re-rolls 70,000.

i'd get rid of big hand. I can't see the power fist being that great for picking up the ball. And keep rerolls at 60k max. they do already have pass, catch and sure hands reroll skills, but then so do humans in BB.

But it's funny! I think you're right, though.

But humans don't have ST4 players or linemen with Block.

I still think walking onto the field in power armour is practically like rolling onto the field on top of a deathroller.

Well what about vampires in BB? they're ST and AG4 and you get 6 of them too. Surely, fluff-wise, a single Vampire could take out an entire BB team on its own?

And in a paraell universe, Johnson Jervis made a future-sports game involving Marines, Orks, 'Nids etc.
Someone suggested making a fantasy version, and was :roll: at.

Of all the races in the 40th mil. the rough sport seems best fitting to the Orks.
I'd like the idea of a Gorkamorka style crazy Vehiclebowl. :D

though tis a good idea, BB overall rather fits into WH fantasy than 40k. in WHF the battles have rather a skirmish-like character. there's an orcish invasion, the empire defends itself, period. chaos appears somewhere, the bretonians eliminate the thread, period. there's always a lot of tension, but not a never-ending war.

in 40k things are different. i'll try to adapt the examples above into 40k:

an imperial planet is attacked by orcs, overrun, the orcs are pushed back by the aid of the space marines. the orcs will run for the planet until they are eradicated, and an overall destruction is imminent, there might never be life on that planet again. the chaos might have planets vanishing into the warp etc.

i couldnt think of 40k space marines fighting in a "peaceful BB match" vs. some rotten chaos folks. nor would necrons be peaceful (or intelligent) enough to play BB properly - they'd just always rip their enemys heads off!


though my comments are devastating ;) , you should keep up the work. rules are made to be bent and broken, so jsut go on... :D

marines -> vampires: the vampires have a random possibility to diminish your team, while the marines just might stay away with "Off To War". so the vampires are horribly dangerous to your very own team, while space marines just have "random disappearances". while a vampire may slap 5 enemies, he might as well slap 5 mates in the same game. a space marine might get rid of 5 foes - or he just wont, coz he was at war.

Orks for the win!
