The LAF Games Workshop Discussion Thread

[Citizen Sade]

There was a very similar article in The Sunday Times on July 5th when the shares were worth a mere £83.35. Crazy, isn’t it? Makes me wish I’d kept hold of the shares that I sold after the release of The Return of the King film.

Please stop reminding me of how stupid I was not to buy shares when i had the chance...

The new bloodbowl team look like they'll be great parts for =][= figures...

Seems like a lost opportunity to not have new teams in the set.

Pretty sure they are new teams. Another set of humans and orcs though.

New Black Orcs look pretty fun too, and the revised Varag Ghoul-Chewer certainly looks proppa mean:

Thats what I mean. Variant Humans and Orcs instead of Chaos Dwarves or Necro for example.

I didn't buy the initial box set because I don't care about those teams so I've got no interest in this new one.

I get why they did Humans and Orcs for the first set. They are decent intro teams but surely this isn't an intro box anymore

[mcfonz]

Starter boxes are always intro boxes.

They may not be for the experienced players but they are for anyone else that picks it up for the first time. I've played bloodbowl all of twice in my life. If I was to get into it properly, I would need to get the starter set.

I hope that it is easy to remove that corpse from his shoulder. Looks pretty sweet aside from that.

Certainly looks like it would be a largely separate piece, and the model would indeed look better without. It's plastic anyway, so fairly straightforward to carve bits off here and there, and the good thing with Orcy things is that you don't even have to tidy it up too much afterwards!

[beefcake]

Always found it a little funny that Bloodbowl has Varag Ghoul Chewer and the old WFB had fluff about Vorag the Ghoul King (I was so keen to make a ghoul army back then)

Some new Necromunda terrain incoming, looks useful for post apocalypse type games, certainly a shortage of skulls.

[majorsmith]

I like some of the terrain gw do but these kinda remind me of kiddies playsets

[Grumpy Gnome]

Something without skulls? Something that could be more general purpose, multigame terrain? Nice!

Yeah building out of the box following the instructions you kind of get unwieldy play set vibe, but Im sure many of the skilled modellers here can do well with them.


In unrelated news, GW is releasing another wave of micro board games to select retailers (and from the sounds of it select countries).
