Discuss Fantasy football-style board games - GW's Blood Bowl, Impact!'s Elfball, Privateer Press' Grind, Heresy's Deathball, etc. THIS IS NOT AN NFL FANTASY FOOTBALL SITE!
A forum for football mini's talk.......painting, converting etc. etc. or showing off great accessories that make playing the game easier, cooler or more fun.
The Warhammer community page has a load of pics of new stuff coming out. Lots of cool new models, dice and pitches.
Don't want to spam the thread with their pics, you can see them here. I like virtually everything, the only disappointment is Grim as something doesn't look quite right. The Human upgrade pack is nice thought he blitzers still aren't unique enough.
I will post Glart though as I think he's awesome. Haven't liked most of the Forgeworld stars so far but he is a great sculpt and very characterful.
The cards look very intriguing, could be great with some wet erase marker and card sleeves. Speaks to the X-Wing player in me. Neoprene pitches are nice, too, as thgey take up so much less space getting them around. I also like all of the miniatures and the elf team might be something I buy.
Most of it looked perfectly fine, but I have one complaint.
The human team only has 1 catcher. I know the catchers kinda suck, but if you buy a box team + a booster and you still don't have all the positionals.

Yeah, they look to be taking inspiration from the cyanide pro elf team illustration which is great news as that will make for some very cool looking models. I love the face masks on the old elves, kind of like the hair on the old style but it is very 80's so I can see why they might drop it.
Also didn't take photos but if anyone's there tomorrow there are some concept art sketch books on the Blood Bowl stand with the artists and in the back of one of them are 3 Orc Cheerleaders
Was a really good day

I'm a British Freebooter, will play for any team including Undead (I have my own Apothecary). Good rates.
On the plus side, looks like there is a lot of cool stuff coming out. On the down side, ouch, my wallet!
Skaven Team booster - already knew about this. It's great and can't wait for release so I can finish up my Skaven team.
Underworld Denizens and Chaos Renegades - Interesting. So this is just a token pack? That's kind of cool.
Dice - Humans, Orcs. Ugh, more dice. I mean, it's great that they are getting upgraded dice to match the other race dice. I know I'm going to end up buying them though, because I'm always a sucker for dice.
Goblin pitch - very nice.
Goblin Secret Weapons - must buy, but was really hoping for the pogo too.
Grim - guessing he's FW, so will probably mod my own.
Grom and Black Gobbo - look good, but not sure if I want them.
Human Team booster - I might pass. I've been thinking about picking up the Bright Crusaders set, because they look cooler to me. If the Human boosters are plastic though, I'd probably pick them up right away.
Neoprene pitches - not sure. Like Deathrain mentioned, they are perfect for travel. Will have to see about the price.
Minotaur - can't wait. Plastic?! Sign me up!
Glart - damn he looks good. I might have to break the bank and order him from FW.
Team Card Packs - not sure what those would be used for.
Goblin dice - yea, yea, I know. Sucker.
Elven Union - more plastic, yes. Face masks, yes. Modding a few mohawks, maybe.
"What's next for Blood Bowl?"
"More Plastic Teams" YES!
"More Dice Sets" NO! I mean YES! No, no, no, no, no! YES!
"More Pitches" If they are cool as that Goblin pitch, keep them coming.
