Back to the #bloodbowl grindstone. Some league action tonight with the Zmiiniy Bearbaiters.
A fairly routine 2-0 win vs some vanilla Vampires.

I've seen a bunch of the #bloodbowl leaks, but I think I'm going to reserve full judgement until I can pore over the book in its entirety.
Our league will finish up using 2020 and probably start next season on 2025.

New recruits for my 2nd edition Human (soon to be OWA) #bloodbowl team: if you can't beat 'em, join em...
L-R:
Blocker, Blitzer, Thrower, Troll Slayer*, Blocker.
*There wasn't a 2nd edition Trollslayer, so this is the bare-headed Blitzer 2 who'll get a slightly different paint job.

Dear GW
This is #bloodbowl murder. Went from a genuinely interesting toolkit player to a waste of space.
Either reinstate the once per turn - or once per half and they get ALL the listed skills - (with a suitable points readjustment) or he'll likely never get any play.

Initial #bloodbowl new edition thoughts:
Several teams have been trashed - my beloved Humans among them. They'll need hefty rulepack support to be competitive.
Some skills may need tweaks. Seem to be some OP combos.
Star cost adjustment mostly welcome. Grom is now bad, but Skrorg? 👌

#bloodbowl 3rd season box ordered despite misgivings around some of the changes. From the leaks it feels like some teams, skills and rules will need to be dialled back, but I'll give it a go for sure.

In response to the new #bloodbowl edition the only natural reaction to owning a Human team is to buy some Dwarfs.
There isn't a 2nd edition Trollslayer, so I got two Blitzers - one of whom will get an orange beard.

From what I've seen of #bloodbowl season 3 there's good and bad.
Good:
They seem to have tidied up some rules interactions, simplified some mechanics and put in some fun new tidbits.
Bad:
Some of the new rosters look bad & only changed because that's what they put in a box.
Time for LRB7?

#bloodbowl league night tonight. Can the Zmiinyi Bearbaiters get their season going after a disappointing opening day defeat?

New #bloodbowl season box or not?
Quite like the look of the board and the teams are nice, but all I really need is the rulebook.
Brets could be represented by standard Humans (2/2/2+linos) and I have TK already.
I guess we'll see how much everything costs.

Aberdeen - and Granite Bowl is going well enough. Exceeded my target of 50%with a game to go and played a couple of fantastic opponents.
Round 3 to come and a shot at #bloodbowl glory...

My last in-person blood bowl tournament for the foreseeable future. So I plan to enjoy it.

So nothing today on warcom, so I'm thinking we won't get #bloodbowl pre-orders this week. Might do, but I'd guess not.
Anyway. Plenty to muse on in the meantime.

Wonder what #bloodbowl delights we'll get today. Hopefully, some more mechanics chat. Or maybe more info on team building. 🤔
Have to say that the reaction I've seen for the new edition has been... mixed at best.
Hoping to get some clarity soon - including what happens to my poor Humans. 😕

OK, so it's now at the "good enough" stage. That's traditionally where most of my painting effort ends.

Been meaning to get some paint on my #bloodbowl scatter template.
Went with a rainbow to honour the original 8-colour pride flag.

So: "one box teams" for #bloodbowl.
The argument is that new players would want all the team's toys in one box - so they've tweaked the roster rather than produce a better box.
But most teams need and extra lineman or two anyway, so... 🤔

"All Vanilla No Painkilla" in varying degrees of completedness - but all "good enough" - for this weekend's trip to Aberdeen hosted by @philpaintsstuff.bsky.social
This'll be my last in-person tournament for the foreseeable future, but I'm sure it'll be a good time.
