Inducements go a long way to balancing teams in league play and the new edition looks pretty promising overall. I'm excited to see Fumble move over to it. Here's a deep analysis of 10,000+ games and faction balance. It's pretty drat good even if individual games can be swingy (true to sports IMO). https://bloodbowlstrategies.com/en/relative-strength-of-teams/ The worst teams have ~33% win rate which is bad but the best teams aren't oppressive at only 56%. 19 factions are above 45% overall too, so it's really just about staying away from the really bad teams if you care about that. but really just play Snotlings because look at them

Blitz Bowl is also a lot of fun for a quicker and much simpler version. Now that it has a variety of teams and a second season as well it's a great alternative.

The separation of passing from agility is the biggest change in new BB and will probably shake up the balance all around. Here's one person's take on it and the effect on humans quote:
gonna make a gimmick lateral team

Kill Team has a lot of cheap entry options because a few full teams can be made with like $30 boxes. The game is pretty quick too at 30-45 minutes with a lot of variety. It’s the 40k equivalent of Warcry, but not quite as simple as far as I understand. Honestly none of them are good beer and pretzels games though. I think of those as easy to learn and play games that require no prep time and anyone can jump in and join you, so unless you’re going to make squads for others and all even things like Underworlds is a poor choice since it requires deck lists on top of modeling. If GW hadn’t taken the license away from FFG and FFG didn’t get dismantled by Asmodee we could probably have more cool stuff like the Warhammer Discwars and Blood Bowl Team Manager games which were perfect for that beer and pretzels kind of thing.

They teased some new release for it a month or so ago so not yet. I would imagine it'll get an update to coincide with 9th edition.

berzerkmonkey posted:Ships for Armada can hit the $100+ mark. This is so loving disingenuous its hilarious. There was one single special edition model that was a huge prepainted display piece for MSRP $200. Everything else in the 90-100 range was the starter set or other multi-ship sets. And it's especially funny you're comparing this unfavorably to GAMES WORKSHOP EDIT: GS is charging $35 just for a set of cards for AI

DLC Inc posted:Been reading up on the new Kill Team stuff, do people here generally like the new rules and set? I was a bit confused though that the Death Korps / Ork Kommandos seem to be the only teams in the compendium with very unique units, as opposed to teams like Necrons and poo poo who just have "it's just 5 Warriors and a leader and that's it." I'm assuming with new starter sets, other factions will get more unique teams like the first box? Every faction is (slowly) getting more specialist teams via White Dwarf and the expansion sets. So far it’s been Clave, Tau, Sisters, Thousand Sons, and maybe one or two more. The “basic” compendium teams can still be both fun to play though, with engaging mechanics and high power level in the meta so far. The Kommandos vs regular Orks, for instance, get a good bit of variety in exchange for an insane amount of wounds to chew through with 10 boys and 1 Nob (plus 3 rockets).

Yeah it's funny that the Space Marines have the most fire teams by far in the book but they're all pretty boring and weak. Death Watch being the only real exception but they're still only like mid-tier (but a lot of fun thanks to all the load out options).

Kommandos are the broken faction now, taking 4/5 top spots in the recent big tournament lol. The grot enables so super cheese that's hard to stop.

Electric Hobo posted:I just had a great conversation with a guy who claimed that Custodes still have 4 actions in Kill Team, because they have an ability that makes them ignore changes to how many actions they have. The errata changed it, but they ignore all changes, so gently caress you I guess. Lmao what a champ. That rules. GW made a burrito so hot they can’t eat it.

Start with Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion. It's a refinement on the system, can be had for $20, and is way less of a headache to setup, pack, and store. If you play through that and like it, then the big box is a great next step. I also think the overall class design is better with those 4 than the 10+ in the original.

Kill Team is going to feel more like small scale 40k. Necromunda is much more campaign and narrative oriented (but KT can still do that as well). KT is also going to have 1:1 WH40K army translations whereas Necromunda is all their own factions that don't really have a parallel. Necro is also a lot more about tight close quarters terrain. I think they both have their place and are plenty different design-wise.

Yeah your first game will take a few hours. Subsequent games will go quicker, averaging around 45 mins or so if both players know the game.
