BloodBowl!!!!

[Commissar Grey]

Bring your Blood Bowl too!  I'll bring my FoW!

Found a ref in the GW 2009 Specialist Games Catalogue on the GW site.

We were doing the kick-off wrong according to the rules on the site.  Place the ball, roll a d8 for direction and a d6 for distance.  It will bounce once.

We need to paint our balls!!  I'm thinking brown with a couple of white stripes and gunbolt metal for the spikes!

Sure, painting the balls would be great!

The above link takes you to the Officially sponsered NAF site for Bloodbowl International.

I have the rules for the alternate balls including the rules for the spiked ball that comes in the box set.

Spiked BloodBowl Balls

Passing
Make a second agility roll with a +1 Modifier, If the test is failed the catcher takes a block with a strength equal to:
Quick Pass: 2
Short Pass:3
Long Pass: 4
Long Bomb: 5
If knocked down the ball scatters as normal and a turnover occurs, if not it is still caught and play continues.

As a Weapon

(1)Pass it to the enemy and it causes a block similiar to above with the following differences:
Quick Pass: 5
Short Pass: 4
If not knocked down the player can attempt to catch the ball at a -2 causing a turn over if caught.
(2) Use it as a hend held weapon giving the carrier a +1 to his strength score when throwing a block.

Always thought these where fun when used

So, your Humans, my Chaos, no spiked ball, Wednesday (29APR09)! You game?

Are the rules that you have the same as the ones on the GW site?

FoW after?

5.0 Living Rulebook

[Rob S]

Well, for me it came down to a decision between Goblins and Khemri.  After looking in the rulebook and seeing that Goblins were a team for a more "advanced player", I decided to go Khemri.  I'll be ordering it from BG today, so hopefully should have it by the end of next week.

[Commissar Grey]

So, is that a yes for a game or are your Humans cowering behind their Ogre?

Are the rules on the GW Specialist Games site the 5.0 Living Rulebook?

If not, where can I find them.

Thats a yes we feel like killing a chaos ogre or minotaur! You want to keep him on your roster keep him on the bench!

The living rule book is found on the resources site on the main GW site. Newest edition is still 5.0 and is the basis for the future video game as well.

I'd like to take a moment for our proud BloodBowl Sponsor: Orcacola.

Rember if you need something to quench your thirst after tearing off your opponent's head in Blood Bowl; reach for a Orcacola. Made from the last tournement's  last place losers. MMmmm  good!

I now return you to your regular Bloodbowl thread.

Have you ever found any others?

[Commissar Grey]

Is it possible for someone to print out a copy of the current rules?  Still don't have a printer.

[Thornosac]

I have a print out of LRB 5, and also the changes that are being tested for LRB6.
I should be down there on Wednesday.
