That's just how the new plastic teams are produced - they make one sprue that has three linemen and three positionals on it (and balls, token and coin) and then you get two of the same sprue in the box.

Safety Factor posted:I just built the new Blood Bowl dwarf team and I've just got to say that these are probably some of the best dwarf models GW has ever made. There are some great details like the blitzer's gut hanging out of his shirt. Can't really tell behind the beard though. My bare head slayer didn't fit as well as all the other models either - nothing really bad but it was noticeable. Do you have any idea whats going on with the runners face? One of the eyes in the helmet is covered up and the other isn't. Going by the painted team the covering is part of the helmet but it looks weird to me.

My one issue was that the bare-headed slayer head didn't quite fit right and needed some minor gap filling. That may have been on me, everything else was flawless.

Blood Bowl made to order - Dark Elf, Chaos and Chaos Dwarf. Full teams only - Chaos has a mutant added, Chaos Dwarf has the option of 2 bulls or no bulls. You can also order the trophies, a dark elf assassin and you can order the bull centaur separately. So, no way to get dark elf blitzers or chaos dwarf blockers without buying a full team. About what I expected from GW, I bet they still get a ton of orders. Including mine, if they don't sell out before I get one in The only thing that confuses me is no minotaur. Both Chaos and Chaos Dwarf can take them, and they could charge a premium for a metal big guy.

berzerkmonkey posted:Those are the only teams? Bummer. I want me some gobbos. I have a feeling that they will be doing more made to orders this year. My guess is the next one would be either undead / khemri / vampire or amazon / lizardmen / wood elf. EDIT: The reason I think they'll do more is because they're going to make a bunch of money on this round. I think they're doing 3 at a time for logistical reasons (which is why they're not doing separate blitzers/blockers - those molds are being used for the team sets) as well as business ones (if you put the whole catalog up for only a week then people will buy less than if its spaced out). The 6 teams i've listed have a vague thematic connection (undead / exotic) and are all pretty unlikely to be getting plastic updates anytime soon, as well as being pretty popular. I don't think they'll do a made to order for any teams that have plastics out or plastics coming out soon, and the rumors are that Goblins and another team (Nurgle, I think) are coming out this year.

Tomorrow there will be another round of Made to Order for Blood Bowl - Necromantic Undead. Shambling Undead, High Elf, Lizardmen. The Kroxigor is also going to be up, more expensive than the bull centaur was (looking to be about £18) Also there will be the new Goblin team and Death Zone season 2. DZ2 will have rosters for Chaos renegades, Goblin and underworld because those teams don't require additional models to be sculpted I guess. The goblin team doesn't seem to have a transfer sheet listed. If the team doesn't come with one then thats a load of horse poo poo. The only reason I could see to not showing one on the site is that it contains spoilers that they don't want to reveal just yet. Like the names of two new secret weapons they're rumoured to have (sold in a pack with the pogo guy).

I'm going to make a prediction in this thread - I believe there will be one more round of Blood Bowl made to order - not necessarily next month (thats the big warhammer 40k release right?) but this year. The teams will be Wood Elf, Norse/Amazon (not both) and Halfling, with a tree man up separate as well. I ordered the Necromantic team (but i'll order a third party flesh golem and werewolf to complete the team) and caved in and got the goblin team and a troll. I really dig the new fanatic, even if it is resin. I also finished painting my Chaos Dwarf team, just need to matte varnish the gloss, and base them.

Has anyone converted those sweet River Trolls (or whatever the gently caress they're called now)? https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/01/12/andys-blood-bowl-troll-conversion/ Its not much of a conversion, but this guy used one. Since they come in a pack of 3 you should have good enough options. Someone on facebook also posted a photo of the blood bowl troll with a slightly better pose that I intend to try to replicate (the arm not being right in front of the face helps a lot)  I'm going to try and find the old Ripper model for my second because I want a stone troll and a river troll on my team. If you're doing a strict GW league then those are your best options but if its not run by GW you could go third party. I'm fond of the Willy miniatures trolls but you can see a good selection of third party models here http://www.comixininos.com/blood-bowl-teams/elfos-oscuros-1/trolls.html Also your models look amazing.

I'll field an 'Ooligan if its a good sculpt, just for style). My big hope at the moment is they change the Ogre team when it gets put into an official book. They wouldn't be overpowered if they just switched out the snotlings for goblins or halflings.

If you didn't have to constantly rebuy dead snotlings you would be able to get max Ogres pretty quickly, and having AG 3 Goblins would give you a ton more scoring threats which may also be too much. Halflings then? They have less movement and armour than Goblins but are slightly less likely to fall over to a stiff breeze than snotlings. Plus halflings are cool.

It looks like there might be a squig star player in DZ2 for Goblins and underworld, which is great news, because I really wanted an excuse to get a squig. I broke down and ordered the lizardmen and High Elf teams. I was able to find a sprue of saurus warriors for a £5, so completing the team wasn't too heavy hitting on the wallet. For the elves i'll probably try to get two more blitzers and 2 witch elves and paint the team dark colours so it can be used as pro, high or dark and then pick up the wood elf team if they MTO it.

I got DZ2 and the Goblin team today. A brief look through DZ2 - theres a major sponsorship that allows you to roll 3 dice when your players skill up and choose two of them (the drawback being if you roll two or more ones you get a niggling injury) and chaos renegades get an orc lineman in addition to goblins getting the 'ooligan and doom diver. The Goblin team comes with transfers, have no idea why they weren't included on the website.

Zaphod42 posted:Whole ton of new Bloodbowl products got announced Thats the blitzer. I expect the linemen will have half mask / no mask. I was at warhammerfest today. I asked about MTO - apparently they think Halflings are indeed on the next wave (they aren't the same branch but they do have some influence on whats being chosen). The two criteria are the molds have to have survived (which might be why the chaos dwarfs are missing a hobgoblin sculpt) and that the teams can't be competing with new product thats out / coming out in the next 6 months. So I was pretty much dead on with my thoughts on how they decide these things. Bloodbowl has sold so well that they intend to release all the teams in plastic now (each team with dice, cards and a pitch). They've hired two more people for plastic production and once the elves are out they're aiming for a new plastic team every 4 months, but the elves might be a while. Death Zone season 3 is planned to be wizards, undead and chaos along with star players and other things. They're thinking about doing resin conversion kits (similar to the orcland raiders / bright crusaders) for mutations. I think thats all. EDIT: They sold out of all the Goblin secret weapons before I got there, but I managed to pick up the ogre and halfling set. MrFlibble fucked around with this message at 17:57 on May 28, 2017 |

In the specialist games seminar they did a hands up who would like bit where they gauged interest in the various old games returning. Necromunda got the most hands, Mordheim just behind. Gorkamorka and BFG got less than mordheim but still a sizeable number. What this means is anyones guess but I imagine we'll see necromunda and mordheim before anything else and probably Gorkamorka before BFG because it doesn't require many / any new models really.

I seriously doubt that we're getting new halflings any time soon. They might* be reprinting halflings in the next made to order wave, but those will be old sculpts. As for new teams I imagine it will be Nurgle after elf union (honestly surprised elf union are first) and then the other flavours of elves mixed in between the death zone 3 teams, which are supposedly chaos chosen and undead (or at least thats the current plan). *They indicated to me that they were on the schedule, but they couldn't guarantee it and jokingly told me not to tell anyone (as in they joked it would be on twitter before the end of the talk). Any team that gets a made to order reprint isn't going to get a new version within 6 months.

with a rebel yell she QQd posted:Whelp, I completed my vampire team last week. Might grab a treeman, as its missing from my collection. Supposedly - the MTO models have all cost the same as the old models did + inflation (or whatever, something to the effect of they cost the same amount in real terms). So if anyone knows what the ogres used to go for we could probably get an estimate of how much they will cost. The ogre team is really convertible - if they're the same price as other MTO teams i'll probably buy two sets. I'll definitely pick up the halflings and probably one treeman - but I don't think i'll pay £18 for two of the same. I am also enjoying the match reports.

Halflings, Woodelves, Vampires and Ogres go up for Made to Order tomorrow. The Halflings are a team of twelve and a chef, no treemen included. Looks like the Halflings, Woodelves and Vampires will be £32 and the Treeman will be £18 (or in other words, the same price as the last round of MTO). The ogres are 149 new zealand bucks so im going to guess... £48.

I ordered the halfling team + 2 treemen and 2 Ogre teams. The vampire team is a slightly different scale to the rest of blood bowl models (Pro elfs and vampires look very small and fragile compared to even third edition teams whereas the third edition teams fit in fine with new blood bowl models) so i'm going to pass on them. If I run out of teams to paint before GW get to a new vampire team (Currently have High Elf, Lizardmen, Necromantic + shambling, Skaven, Goblin, with Ogre and Halfling coming) i'll get http://www.gaspez-arts.com/vampiri.html the vampires from gaspez arts and use human linemen for thralls.

Lovely Joe Stalin posted:Probably the same as their comparably sized boxed games, so around £70rrp would be my guess. A good bet - I wouldn't be surprised if the pricing is exactly the same as Bloodbowl down to gangs/teams, deathzone/gang war etc. I'm definitely picking Necromunda up - with alternating activations it should be easy enough to set up 2v2 games and hopefully it'll be more popular than Bloodbowl (which was really fun but impractical to play 2 games simultaneously). Plus, its harder to get the group all together to play Bloodbowl when we all have computers and legendary edition is right there. It does mean my heap of unpainted MTO Bloodbowl teams are less likely to get painted anytime soon though.

Personally I'm over the moon, I'm not really fussed on getting the Golliaths, but I wanted to paint some Eshers asap. If you only want one of the gangs but also want the terrain your best bet is still buying the box. You can sell the rules, card tiles and other gang on ebay and come ahead of where you would be or keep the gang and have bits for conversions for just a little extra. I mean its nice they're selling the terrain separately but its pretty expensive. Also if you want the new rules rather than to just use the models, because I bet the gang war book references the starter rules. Lord_Hambrose posted:I really hope the new Gangs come quicker than the Blood Bowl teams. This being really popular can't be a big surprise for them this time, so I am hopeful. All four of the other house are coming in 2018 at least. Apparently Bloodbowl was a surprise to them and they didn't realize how popular it would be - a lot of delay on teams was switching back to plastic when they had intended to do future teams in resin. They must know that Necromunda will do as well so I would expect them to be better.

TTerrible posted:The premise of blood bowl is an organised sporting event. Being able to play one off games out of a box without league play is kind of reasonable. Necromunda is a small scale skirmish wargame built entirely around around creating a gang, personalising it and watching it grow. They made a concious choice to split it up to make more money. I think it makes sense. I mean, I would prefer they did card terrain like the original box apparently had but that wasn't on the table because GW have all this plastic terrain they want you to use. This is how GW operates - army books, codexes, supplements - if they can charge separately for it they will.

After the first post pointing out that its disappointing that the campaign rules aren't part of the boxed game it gets really loving tedious listening to people bitch about it. Add the price of the supplement to the box and judge accordingly or look for the rules on ebay or just don't play the loving game. It sucks that GW are milking the games for all they're worth, but thats what companies do. Every single post with woulda/coulda/shoulda ends with didn't. More people are playing Bloodbowl because theres a box out and the same will be true for Necromunda. If you don't like the new release ignore it and stick to your old stuff. I sometimes have to remind myself that its insane that armies in warhammer 40k each have their own rulebook in addition to the 40k rulebook because I grew up owning the Dwarf army book and that poo poo is normal to me.
