Played a Blood Bowl game against a friend a few days ago, edited the pictures and wrote a summary of the game which can be read on my blog (along with 21 pictures from the game)
He had included a 2nd Bull Centaur since last time which really made his team better and more flexible in playstyle.

Lovely! Blood bowl - my first love, the one I keep going back to.
-
There are no words to describe how much I utterly love this game. Fantastic! I'm working on a Norse team at the minute.

Two thumbs way up for this thread. I'm just organising my wargaming club's Blood Bowl tournament for this year :)
Bull Centaurs are the best blitzers in the game - after they get Block as a 1st skill, they're a ST4 blitzers capable of MV9. Good job they can't pick up the ball lol
-
Nice looking teams!
I ran a chaos dwarf team in our last league and had nearly no luck with the centaurs or minotaur.
Blood Bowl teams are probably my favorite thing to create, the perfect size force for a creative project and there's probably nothing more fun than a Blood Bowl League!
-
Have to agree Blood bowl is easily the best game GW have ever produced. Comic, fun, quick, tactical and campaign play all in one.

Thanks guys, I'm having a small pile of Orcs that will be painted in the near future. Still haven't decided what colors to use for their uniforms, thinking black/white combo or something with yellow :)
-
Can't wait to see those orcs, paint scheme sounds cool.

Ah, BloodBowl - the gateway drug that got me back on the painting/gaming trail after nearly ten years of being 'normal' :-* :-*

Yeah, BB is funny like that. I started playing in '91-'92 and for many years it was the one and only game I'd play. It's basically what kept me in the hobby when "growing out of" role playing games, Hero Quest and Siege of the Citadel. Funnily, I sold off my quite massive 2nd edition BB collection a few years ago as I had finally "grown out" of miniature painting. Me and my game playing friends were mostly playing board games and I could get my painting fix from painting the pawns in Robo Rally, Runebound and so forth. Didn't nead heaps of lead I never used anyways. ::)
Shortly thereafter I discovered a DIY dungeon crawl game which I just "had" to get some miniatures for. Settled for pre painted WOTC plastics, as they were so cheap. Well, the common ones. OK, the crap common ones. And the nice ones were expensive, and still had crappy paintjobs. I started re-painting some of them and went "hey, wait a second...". We abandoned the plastics a year ago and I got into lead collection once more. Much to my wife's dismay... :D
Haven't played Blood Bowl for a couple of years... now, I just happen to live in the same town as Anatoli and I'm thinking of painting up my "counts as human" Chaos All Stars team to take for a spin again.
The words "circle" and "complete" comes to mind. :)
