⚔️💀 TIER LIST REVEAL! 💀⚔️

ROMBBL’s gone early with our Third Season tournament tiers! 👀

Here’s how we’re balancing the new edition for our celebration event on Sat 22 Nov @ Dicing With Life, Romford.

What do YOU think — fair balance or Nuffle nonsense? 🤔
🔥 Who’s too high?
💩 Who got robbed?

The bottom of the image shows the Warhammer Blood Bowl logo with the tagline “The Game of Fantasy Football.

#BloodBowl
A promotional banner for "Let’s Get Ready to ROMBBL – League Meet," an event for the Romford Blood Bowl League (ROMBBL). The Blood Bowl logo is displayed at the top with the tagline "The Game of Fantasy Football." The artwork features a vampire sinking their fangs into a terrified dwarf clutching a golden trophy, capturing the brutal and comedic chaos of Blood Bowl. ROMBBL is a growing Blood Bowl league based in Romford, welcoming experienced coaches and returning players looking for regular tabletop play. The league is hosted by Dicing with Life, a local gaming club. The event is an opportunity to play league games, meet fellow coaches, and get involved in the Romford Blood Bowl scene. At the bottom of the banner, logos for Blood Bowl, Dicing with Life, and ROMBBL highlight the event’s organizers and partners. The color scheme of dark red, gold, and navy evokes the classic Blood Bowl aesthetic, reinforcing the theme of fantasy football mayhem. Two enthusiastic Blood Bowl coaches react dramatically during a game at ROMBBL (Romford Blood Bowl League). One player in a blue plaid shirt throws his head back in agony, fists clenched, while his opponent in a red and blue plaid shirt raises his arms in triumphant celebration. The game is set on a Blood Bowl pitch, with detailed miniatures locked in a brutal match. The foreground prominently features a Blood Bowl game box, with the tagline "The Game of Fantasy Football" visible. The setting is a gaming space with colorful stained-glass-style windows and an open, well-lit venue, located in the Mercury Shopping Centre, Romford—home of Dicing with Life gaming club and the ROMBBL league. In the background, another player is focused on a different tabletop game, showing the lively and engaging community atmosphere. This image captures the intensity, excitement, and heartbreak that Blood Bowl is famous for, as players embrace the highs and lows dictated by Nuffle’s fickle favor!
