What are ways to handle a team getting a new version mid-season in Blood Bowl? Do you just have the players stay with the old roster/rules, convert the players to what the new positions are (eg: Amazon catchers becoming blockers) and recalculate TV, have the player redraft, or something else?

Floppychop posted:What are ways to handle a team getting a new version mid-season in Blood Bowl? Mostly up to your commissioner. I’d say you finish out the season with the old roster because things can theoretically change a bunch if skill access/player costs change too much, and unless you’re running a continuous league, they can probably wait until the end of the current season. Got to ref/witness a quarter-finals game in my league yesterday, and it was one of the best I’ve seen - Elven Union versus Lizardmen. Came down to overtime, and the clutch skills ended up being Leap and Diving Tackle, with Elves managing a 2-1 victory despite losing most of their team. I’m still in the running for the championship myself - just gotta beat Snotlings and Slann to make it there with my Renegades. Assuming my Minotaur survives and manages to get some SPP, I’ll have enough for a new chosen General or Agility skill - Tackle sounds like a great option, but a Blodge minotaur is also super-appealing.

Tackle or Claw (do Renegades even get M access any more?) depending on your meta. Minotaurs are for killing things. Once you've killed enough things then maybe BT for mobility, but also somewhat lacklustre on a 4+ Loner. Stand next to things and beat them until they cease to exist.

(So in hindsight I'm glad I went IG, since otherwise I would've been waiting a while for models liked these!  )If I get into new KT though, I might need to take a closer look at Kroot again - since they're definitely cool looking things

Yeah, Tackle is gonna be the key, I suspect. Every team I’ll have to face is dodgy and will likely flee before my violence. I think I can cover most angles, though? I’ve got a few pieces for every situation: three possible ball carriers (2-heads goblin, 2-heads MA+ Dodge Skaven, Dodge/Dauntless Dark Elf), three cage centers/flex pieces (Monstrous Mouth Linewomen, Cannoneer Thrower), a few utility pieces (Block/Horns/2h Line, Horns Line, Big Hand/Pro line, Block Ork), and my Big Guys (Block Mino, Pro Ogre, and Arm Bar/Stand Firm/Guard/Brawler Rogre). I just let the team develop organically, so no idea if I’m missing anything, but it’s full of redundancies and at least three pieces with any given skill choice needed. Claw is wasted at this point in the season, barring Star Player inducements, so likely Tackle. May try to get Block and/or Tackle on another line if I get a chance, or if I somehow get enough SPP for the Rat Ogre to grab a General.

Break Tackle sucks for big guys in the new rules, IMO. Claw would be good, but Pro is always nice on Big Guys for risk-free negatrait rerolls.

jarofpiss posted:were there any mordheim mutant models for cult of the possessed or were you just expected to kitbash them? they came as a boxed set with the axe magister, a possessed, two darksouls, and four pointy-hat cultists. they came in blisters as well. the whole line was white metal.  the possessed were kinda cool for how modular they were, but the rest of the gang was not great. i had forgotten that they did the pointed hat/torch thing that was supposed to read as inquisition or witch cult but landed in KKK-esque in the US, although not quite as badly as redemptionists did. probably because they're just such forgettable models.

i think the possessed warband i got was missing a darksoul and the head to the possessed model. i’ve got some frostgrave cultists on order and should be able to put together a couple of mutants with those sprues, i think the pointy hat is great for cultists and im glad it’s back

The rulebook, the compendium and then one book for each boxed set plus a set of White Dwarfs. The non-pendium teams are scattered all over the place. Found out my friend owns the KT starter set so I might get to try this soon.  /

The hobby wasn't full of edgelords and nazis at the time, so while you might have got "that one guy" at your FLGS who did paint them like that, people were just like "cool pointy hat." Honestly, up until the rise of social media loving everything up, the KKK was pretty much looked down upon as fringe, almost joke (not "haha" joke, but more "lame rear end rednecks"), group at that time. IDK about no one, the models never really bothered me but I remember thinking "I'll go for a faction that doesn't wear pointed hoods" while looking at Necromunda in my earlier hobby days.

The next kt box (new sick kroot vs new boring wannabe judge dreads) is going to have a rulebook with the rules updates from the interim boxes. Not rules for the bespoke teams, the rules for terrain etc I think. E: I mention this because the interim boxes between octarius and now did not have a rulebook.

This kind of conical hoods are popular in Spain as part of religious processions (it is called Capirote or something like that) but as far as I understand it does go back to inquisition. They also exist in some form in Italy

Yeah the KKK association with pointy hoods is a uniquely North American thing until recently. Hate groups in Europe had a different set of signifiers.

I figure as long as the hoods arnt white, Cawdor gets a pass on thier pointy hoods. Pointy hoods are just such a good asthetic that just screams "crazy cultist" Go red or blue or green or whatever But never white hood.

The hobby wasn't full of edgelords and nazis at the time this is a very rosy view of the past. if it's reflective of your experiences at the time, i'm glad. in any case, the chaos cultists often had their weapons modeled up against their body, making kitbashing difficult. on top of that, besides the darksouls with their demonic grimace masks, the human models were pretty generic. if GW repackaged them as "Sigmar cultists" or "Ulric cultists", they would've worked just as well. mordheim suffered a bit from this, in that many of the gangs were just made of forgettable guys with no real aesthetic.

Aside from a handful of all-time classic sculpts, Mordheim was largely filled with pretty crappy miniatures in restricted poses. Even the lame ones are bafflingly valuable on eBay now, so clearly not everyone agrees. (Seriously, classic Mordheim minis tend to sell for even more than the - much older yet generally much better - classic Necromunda minis)
