There's no shortage of Blood Bowl in my neck of the woods, my only lament is that my gaming palette is so full and diverse that there is little time devoted to it unfortunately. I'm still always looking out to add to the collection though and this recent trade was better than I could've hoped for. Right out of the box, err, because of the box, I got...the box. Not that I'm a collector of original packaging or anything, but it was a nice bonus.
Next was the biggest delight and that figs are painted very well. I had even checked my levels of Simple Green before receiving the package just to make sure I had enough to strip the team. One look at these figs and no, I will not be stripping them, they'll play as is! Sure, there might be a few tweaks here and there, but they are good to go. We've been talking about creating an Elf-only division in our Blood Bowl league, the Painsphere. Though I already have painted Wood and High Elf teams, I didn't have a Dark Elf team, and you can never have enough Blood Bowl teams! So look for these sinister players hitting the pitch soon!
Nice find Mik.
ReplyDeleteThanks, hopefully I can get them on the pitch sooner than later!
DeleteGlad you like them. I think they're magnetized on the bottom too.
ReplyDeleteYup, I didn't realize that at first...magnetized bases!
DeleteDark Elves have some interesting choices with both witch elves and assassins adding interesting tactics to go with the triple option ball carriers.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea they did away with throwers and added runners instead. My first roster is a little ugly, but hopefully it will work.
DeleteThat's weird. So there's no Dark Elf thrower now?
DeleteThey replaced them with runners who have passing skill access but start with dump off. You can develop them into normal throwers or you can add nerves of steel and have an option rushing team.
DeleteMy starting roster is 11 players, 2 runners, 2 blitzers, rest lineman with every remaining gold into rerolls since you start with no ball handling skills.
It's a good thing Brad beat me to the punch here, as he's probably more qualified than I am to comment on the subject!
DeleteHad a chance to get them on the pitch yet Mik?
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact I've got a match scheduled for tomorrow at lunch, It'll be the first with this team but better late than never!
