I know a bunch of people have said they've picked up the game, so I'd just like to remind anyone other newbies who want to play with goons that we do matchmaking in #tgbloodbowl on irc.synirc.org. There's almost always a couple of people up for games, including several other new players.

What's the deal with the hate for Franken Castle? Did he get some mechanical penalty when I wasn't paying attention, or is it just "look at this lovely lineman who's only meant to be fodder for punches anyways"?

Santos bringing the thunder. Rats getting put in the hospital. Bullshit Catches. Death. And you didn't concede EZ touchdowns versus a team that can exploit the poo poo out of gently caress ups. Good show. Looking forward to the second half.

Also Skaven get mutations because their society is literally based on having large amounts of basically radioactive poo poo around everywhere.

The first match he got KOed like 3 times and from then on he was always the first zombie to get hurt. I was probably the only one who truly hated him because he kept getting knocked out of matches constantly Watching the match you don't really notice zombies go down because they're so inconsequential to the action but it's a huge pain to lose zombs when you're actually playing because it can limit your options quite a bit in non-obvious ways Rip in piss, FC.

Speaking of zombies, we're gonna have to replace him. It's not like we can't, Zombies are cheap as chips. What are we gonna call the next one? I would vote for a Zombie with a wrestling name, just so we can give him Wrestle later. You can never have enough Wrestle. EDIT: Alternatively just go the really easy/lazy route and call him Rob TheNabster fucked around with this message at 19:47 on Aug 23, 2014 |

We need to earn our replacement zombies. On the battlefield. I don't care if stealing someone else's man doesn't fit the naming scheme, that one off beat name will remind us of the murder we wrought.

The 2nd half is shaping up to be a really bloody affair. If the Skaven team makes it through without losing or getting a positional permanently injured he will be a very, very lucky man. Hopefully you get to keep that guy.

Oh btw in case you forgot from way back before the first video, any zombie I buy needs to have a backstory. So, if you're going to nominate a name, you need to tell me who he was and how he died e- But of course posting names before the second half is posted is jumping the gun a bit

So uh, 3 minutes in and I have to pause because holy loving poo poo does Yapo have his Big Guy necessities wrong. Skaven absolutely need rat ogre? No. Orcs not having a troll? Are you mad? Chaos/CDwarf not using Minos? Maybe 20% of the time on people really squeezing their TV for all it's worth. This is seriously 100% backwards from everything I've ever seen, played, or heard. Skaven are the #1 team I see not hire a big guy.... Okay #2 behind Wood Elfs.

Co-commentator is Seven Deadly Sins. Rogre is one of the best big guys. Also, what the heck, only 2 mams on the linerat punch party. You deserve everything you get.

While the Rogre is a boost in the punching game for Rats, they don't really need the Big guy. It's really prone to getting knocked out and if you want it to go anywhere but where it is you probably need it to blitz. I'll always use one because it is hilarious and I like a bashier team, but I can certainly see people not wanting to use one to keep all that TV on their Stormvermin and Gunners. Also I personally don't use a Troll because they're unreliable and I'd rather use a regular lineman that can get block on normals and save myself the extra TV.

Piell posted:Next zombie should be Franken Castle, Jr., avenging his father's undeath. needs more excessive backstory When Franken Castle, Jr. found out about his father's pitiful death he swore vengeance upon the skaven and descended in a fury upon their tunnels. Within them however, he did not find revenge, only plague, rotting and despair. Having succumbed to this ruin Jr. closed his eyes for what he thought was the last time, only to wake up alone in the woods with nothing else in sight except one thing. The ball. It was at this moment that Jr. realized that the greatest revenge he could have was taking up his father's mantle and becoming a blood bowl player of true legend.

Are you mad? Chaos/CDwarf not using Minos? Maybe 20% of the time on people really squeezing their TV for all it's worth. In open play I agree with you, rats don't need a rogre (but they're fun). In 1000 TV start tournament play, I find them to be incredibly useful since they're a huge force multiplier after about 3-4 games. Remember, a rat team is AMAZING out of the box (4 gunners, both Stormvermin, a Thrower and 3 rerolls). Unless you have positionals die, there is nothing left to buy. Linos are literally just there to get punched, let them be loners if they die. Adding a Rogre to the line means elves can't dodge away as easily at a point where they likely don't have dodge, that you can deal with other teams 4 strength players somewhat, AND you're taking away the sidelines. Oh and GNU, that Franken Castle montage was everything I hoped it would be

My opponent was down with the idea of KroxBall, even though my hubris turned the win into a draw (2-2). Don't try Krox- or SaurusBall without firmly caging and a good supply of rerolls, kids. What I'm saying is that you're only partly right, even Hitler can be a fun haver.
