The Road to Blood Bowl 2016!

[Mr Mystery]

Bloody hell. BoLS are my post.

In short?

1. Astrogranite option
2. Customisable end zones
3. Sculpted dug outs, turn trackers and score board.

That's what would get my money.

Edit - have just asked Jim and Bob if us oldies might be able to look forward to an alternative Astrogranite pitch

[grimmas]

I'm feeling the pitch will be heavy duty card but the print will be of an actual physical modelled pitch. I'd like to see an optional modelled pitch, I don't think it's going to be like the old Astroganite as that was expanded polystyrene and they do hard polystyrene (realm of battle boards)

I very much hope for the stuff Mystery suggests as that is stuff BB players having been putting togeather for years. I'd also reckon a limited ed stadium would go down well, they should consider non playing team members and crowd miniatures as well. I suspect they'd be a market for that.

Should also be relatively easy to produce - it's largely flat by necessity, and requires less faffing than a nicely sculpted team.

At least, I'd imagine so. I can't sculpt or create for love nor money, so I could be way off!

[Erik Setzer]

A nice stadium wouldn't be entirely flat. I guess they could do just a pitch with some scultped detail (but has to be not too much, or it'd be hard to place models), but I think the real draw would be something with 3D dugouts, sidelines, maybe stands, stuff like that.

Bonus if it had an area dedicated for rolling dice, but eh, that's what dice trays are for.

Bravo Warhammer World. Moar pls.

Fairly sure there's a decent slice of the already dedicated BB community who wouldn't mind shelling out for their own stadium.

FW's Realm of Battle sections give some idea of what the price might be. At 2'x2' each, they weigh in at £96 a pop for the most expensive, £80 for their cheapest ones.

They're what, twice the size of the current BB pitch (can't rule out making the board bigger, even if it's just to allow for larger squares). So unique BB pitches no more than the £96 might well find a market - particularly if they included sculpted dugouts etc, or even resin end zone inserts for the named teams?

I'm in. Always wanted custom stadiums for my teams.

Folks if you haven't already get yourself over to the GW Blood Bowl page. Jim and Bob are building the excitement in their own unique style and there's promises of more sneak peeks at the new minis if the likes get high enough.

Also when plugging AoS they have no idea the Mortal Realms are a thing so it looks like no setting change it'll still be set in the Blood Bowl alternate Old World.

[Mr Mystery]

Is that their FB group?

while it's not a game that appeals to me it's still really cool seeing stuff from it and what they are doing.

Yep I probably should've made that clear whoopsie. You're already there I think.

Yeah new stuff is always nice to see regardless. I always enjoyed the frontpage weekly round up post for the same reason (before all I got were adverts though). I hope you find the time to chuck it a like anyway, more like means more miniature previews 😊
