THE Blood Bowl, Who's going and what to take?

Darkson · Post by **Darkson** » Wed Nov 27, 2002 8:20 pm

I'm going, if I can get the check to them in time (credit card is not BH, it's DEAD

).

At the moment I'm taking Skaven, as it's the only team painted, but if I get a move on and get the conversions done, it might be Norse, CD's (thou' not sure conversions) or Orcs (neither played them before but I've got some great conversion ideas here).

I'm not worried about winning or losing, I know i won't win the tourney 'cos I'm not a very good coach to be honest. Just nice to get together with some BB fanatics again.

If I can get up in time, I might consider taking along Horns a Plenty with Borak or Grashnak, lack of skills might hurt, and I'll need to get some more Beastmen.

I hope that Longshot will wake up early enough to buy our tickets.
I will take my dark elf (or human or orc)

team, if we can have tickets.

Last year they sent along the rules with the ticket. I bet it won't be a heck of a lot different than last year.

What are these special NAF privilges that we are getting at the blood bowl then? Doesn't look like a discount :/

Or is that a twisted way of saying we can get ranking points?

"The tournament will also be NAF sanctioned with special privileges for NAF members at the event"

That implies something extra to me ;] and seeing as ive already got me black dice, I am interested in what this is.

Maybe an offical cheerleading squad in naf uniform (i could design this) and then naf members get a photo taken with them.

Unfortunately, I won't be attending. My rent consumes my study support, so I have to spend my savings on living - and the savings have little room for a trip to England

If I could've come, I would've taken dwarves. Mainly because it would've been nice to have a dwarf team win the BB again. At least I heard that the winning teams name goes to BB history...

Longshot : We are GMT+1 so I think so that 8 am GMT will be 9 am for us ! (GMT+1)

Heh. Wait and see!

Trust Andy to be dropping mysterious hints!

The barmaid in Bugman's was fetchingly attired in a cheerleader's uniform at Res, I believe either Chet (or maybe neo?) had a pic online somewhere.

I like this idea A LOT

Heh i was told "next week" back in october and "in time with the rerelease" basically its done when its done.

By my thinking though as that ann arbor tourny was only 4 matches i should still have the second highest ranking, which is nice

I'm certainly planning on coming over for the BB. My only worry is actually being able to get a ticket. 150 doesn't sound very many, but then I guess the most fanatical - pun not intended - players probably all post here anyway and while we have 700 odd members I don't think there are 150 who post THAT regularly, and there'll be a large number of those who are in the States/Canada and not able to come. I'll be on the phone at 9am CET. REALLY want to be at this one because I didn't go to Ressurection and regretted it. If its half as much fun as T5 was then it'll be a storming weekend....I won't be happy until I have my ticket in my hand though.

Team? Well, that depends. my Thunder Valley Lightning Dwarfs if its official teams only...if you throw in the experimental ones I'm seriously considering an Old World squad "Thadrin's Thunderers" - the representatives of Thadrin's XXXXX dwarf ale.

I think all TBBers attending should christen their team with their TBB name...though of course, if the winners get written up into BB fluff that might suck a bit.

Good idea mate!

Here in Spain we were thinking about making some shirts with our team logo and nick.
