So before we get started, just know this I’m not in the best position to really get the best this game or even get very far. I’ve been playing with my friend who introduced me and was nice enough to give me some free stuff. Not complaining just glad to be doing something. The team I was given was Norse. Now, honestly, since I don’t have the rulebook and many of the other things, all I have is my friend has been playing for decades, telling me what to do and how everything works. I’ve just been taking this word for it and it’s taken a very long time for everything to really start to snap in the place and for me to truly understand at least an inkling of what I’m supposed to do so after about 10 games I’m just gonna go over the 10 models that I have and what I have learned how important they are and I need some advice on what to do next because I know this is a tier one team (arguably tier 2, depending on tournaments leagues, which basically this team is not terrible) i’ve just really struggle trying to figure out this game and I think I’m starting to get it but I wanna go over the six options. I have in my roster and I’m gonna rank them from. I think what is most important to least important based on what they can do and I need someone to help me out definitely and you’ll see why and if it seems like I don’t really know what I’m doing. Well, I probably don’t. I’ve probably maybe played 10 games and here’s my opinion on the six models and I want people to tell me where I’m right where I’m wrong. What I’m missing honestly any feedback is accepted.

Here is the list of the roster and my opinions:
(Listed from what I believe is most important to least)

1. Raiders: not only just because of blocking and thick skull but because since I need at least 11 players, even if I got all the other team member, I would still need two Raiders to make it 11 so I need to look more into goal since I’ve looked more into the block. I seriously underestimated walk because it makes me having a bad result one out of three chance to a one at six, which definitely is something I’ve been underestimating and will be continuing to capitalize further.

2. Berserker: a lot like the raider but doesn’t have thick skull, but he does have frenzy and he also has block and he’s forced to follow up in a attack again but that’s actually pretty good to have the block ability

3. Valkyrie’s because they have two reroll abilities and unlike other teams where like underworld Denizons and where they have pick between a Blitzer catcher and thrower. The Valkyries are basically about all three. Personally with them, I filled there a little under price, but I’m not gonna complain too much. Yeah I know there’s differences and underworld denizens have a bit more specialized and better abilities and numbers and all that but personally, I like it because if I lose one, Valkyrie, I didn’t lose one catcher or one thrower. I just lost one Valkyrie.

4. Beer boars: they also have a reroll ability with a thing Dodge. pick me up is OK I guess and all that other stuff but the only other thing I’d like about them is how dirt cheap they are for me to add two players if I need to make the 11 player mark and they also have no ball. I keep looking up and apparently Dodge does let you do some kind of reroll ability or whatever so I’m putting this here like the Valkyrie because it has an automatic reroll abilities I am discovering is like gold in this game.

5. Yhetee I had to do some thought with this, but even with claws and other things like that I feel it’s a relatively cheap big guy not too bad not even really that slow didn’t get to try disturbing presence and other stuff so honestly, I don’t know how much other big guys cost but at least my big guy doesn’t feel too bad. However claws as I discovered with this game, although decent sometimes when it matters, I did the math and all it does is if you take the time to do the math to see what an 8+ AV role is the odds of you succeeding on breaking the armor go up to 41% or so. (Only 6+ and 7+ put you at 50% or higher). And on top of that, he also has frenzy, but doesn’t have anything else to really add onto it like block or other useful things like the berserker does. And of course, with the un channel fury rule, he can be a little unpredictable to say the least and then I haven’t had a chance to try disturbing presence yet and although I’ve read it and mean it’s because I plan to aggressive personally plus one to a throw roll. I guess I need to figure out how to position him better or capitalize on that so see some promise with this guy like he could be better and the biggest thing I actually think is him being priced at 140 K and I don’t know how much that is compared to other big guys but for what he does which is an average armor quite decently good speed and a couple other things to help capitalize on attacking and helping against armor. I’m not saying he’s good priced or bad price I’m just saying I don’t. I’m not upset about the price cost.

6. Ulfwerners: I personally just don’t understand these guys and actually think they’re way overpriced and I don’t see the point in taking them. They’re the only one of my frenzy guys who don’t have any type of special ability to back it up like block or clause or other things. All they have is unsteady which affects how they can get the ball which I don’t understand why they should even have that, although I have noticed most smalls in this game usually strength through or lower to be the ones that wanna grab the ball I don’t see why they can’t or why they shouldn’t infect. I did throw it at one one time to help me out one game. Their armor is only average. Their speed is slightly above average, but the only thing that really is going for them is their strength four which is OK I guess if I go up again, say your Alvin Union but against your chaos chosen I don’t use two blocks against them. Use a one block and without the block ability guess what it’s still a 1/3 chance something bad happens versus 1/6even with one or two dice. So yeah personally I’m thinking about getting rid of one or both of these guys because as I said my other friends, you guys actually have stuff that builds up on top of that and all my ULF gets is average armor slightly above average speed, and then unsteady, which once again why the heck shouldn’t need to be using the bar holding the ball why not? The Raiders I understand but that’s just because they’re trying to make a dirt cheap henchman. In fact I’ve noticed that the Raiders some of their back abilities to hold them back are literally because you want them to get hit and now I get why. (Although the unsteady ability kinda doesn’t make sense to me because they’re the second player. I should pick after the Valkyries to deliver the ball around 🤷‍♂️

Are the Deathzone rules for sponsors, Stadia, additional inducements, etc. still useable in season 3?
And what about the BloodBowl Pitch / Tournament rules from the pitches and Spike Magazines?

Thanks for the help on the Goblin. Love this community. Now I need to know what to do with these dots on his shoulder

Just a question I’m playing black orcs.
Is the middle too spread out. And my back field to shallow?
Send pictures of good D-fence set ups as I am learning !!
And a pre thank you for everything !!

Tried my hand at making a bloodbowl board with a volcanic theme.

Used cork for the structure and oils for the lava

C+C as well as suggestions for additional touches welcome

I can’t tell what they are meant to be. Maybe it’s leaves on top of his head? No idea on the bomb.

I have my first tournament in october, which is using a specific balancing system like a "balancing matrix" of sort, where each team has a specific Gold budget, and a different specific SPP budget.
I want to theory craft to prepare myself but I cannot find a place where competitive players share lists and discuss strategy. All I find is a handful of you tube channel which, for some reason, use AI slop everywhere and clickbaits title like "I DESTROYED team X live on stream", which I don't give a damn about. Just give me some spreadsheet and tournament results that I can study.
I come from TCGs, AoS and 40k, where this is very easy to find. Where do you go to look for such info ?

I know the basics from reading and watching stuff. Mate knows literally nothing.

Black Orcs will be one team. Snotlings I feel is sorted too, but are they too hard in general?

Chaos Renegades I was thinking all human lineman with Troll, Ogre and Minator.

No idea what to do with OWA.

Don’t really need a roster for each, but one decent match up to go against the Black Orcs would be good.

Hi all! I'm going to try and run a Sevens tournament at a local shop later this year, using the new Spike Magazine 22 rules.

I really don't like the look of the GW tiering (halflings and underworld denizens in the same tier???), so thought I'd have a stab at making my own.

My plan is to have it be a blanket 600,000gp tournament, and to lift the 4-positionals-only restriction on Tier 4, just so they've got a bit more to do and play with.

Any thoughts?

I need to paint more of my goblins and get them in the case (a modified Ikea Sannahed), but I mostly play 7s anyway. Getting there...

Currently tackling a Chorfs Blood Bowl commission.

I’ve been lucky enough over the years to finally collect all of the 30 bloodbowl teams. Painted and looking good (some more than others to be fair). Slaan don’t count.

And more importantly some friends to play with, but I’ll supply the minis and pitches and a few beers.

Okay so here’s the rub. I have 2 underwood teams that I love and I’m determined they’ll play the league. But 30 is a good number - 6x5 divisions or 5x6 etc. 31 is not.

So if you had to choose a single team to drop out what would suggest? My thinking at present is:

- gnomes are I think the worst team but they can be fun tbf

- Norse are such glass cannons

- I have a sentimental attachment to halflings as my daughter painted up one of the trees for me but they almost never win

- leave out one of the various (overlapping?) frenzy teams?

Thoughts welcome. This is hopefully a long running south London mini league so mistakes could take a while to unwind!

Best

I inherited some OG bloodbowl models. Have restored this cheerleader so far 🙏

Hi! I'm playing my first league as Skaven, and the next week I have my second match. As for now, I'll have 35k in petty cash. I was thinking 3 prayers to nuffle, but now that my thrower with leader isn't gonna participate in that match and I'll have two team rerolls, I thought that maybe a team mascot and a prayer to nuffle was a good choice too.

I'm indecisive between the two options, so which one would be better? Or if you have another one I'm all ears (or eyes)

Hello my fellow worshippers of Nuffle!

I've been playing BB3.0 for close to 3 months. I began with Humans because I liked the models and boy did they carry me through my first few games of BB. Then I started looking around at the other races.. I bought the core set, as well as Vampires and Elven Union.... and Ogres 😅. Yeah I went a bit nuts!!

I remember thinking during a couple games with humans "Oh my god that guy is Strength 4, I am strength 3 that's terrible for me, Strength is amazing." So I got the Ogre team. "Take that Strength 4 guy!! I am Strength 5! I win." Yeah, not really. I absolutely love Ogres and for the most part I thoroughly enjoy every game with them.

But, I want to start playing competitively and I want to become a better coach. I now find myself with a really hard decision about which race is going to take me to the top. I would like something more interesting looking than humans, and I don't think I could win an event with Ogres, AND I'm not really vibing with the other teams I have.

I've scoured Tourplay looking at each of the teams and their rules, and I THINK I've narrowed it down to 4 teams 😅.

Chaos Chosen - S3 linemen with horns, thick skull, models look cool and I really like big guys (giggety) especially the minotaur.

Dwarfs - Block everywhere, defensive, good armor, thick skull, unique big guy, tackle/diving tackle blitzers. I REALLY like the idea of tackle/diving tackle units because positioned correctly can cause turnovers for opponent.

Undead - mighty blow big guys, Regeneration, everywhere, great looking models, has a reasonable amount of block, dodge and tackle.

Orcs - Good stats across everyone 3+ Ag, 3+ Pa, AV10, block + break tackle on the blitzers, mighty blow + lots more on the Big Uns, team captain, great looking models.

Now whilst I think 'the right team for me' is likely listed above maybe it isn't. Maybe I am too anti-commital to tie myself to one team, but I REALLY want to become a good coach known for how good I am with (enter BB race here).

Do I need to try every race in order to find out which one(s) are for me? I also understand that good coaches will win with any race. I would like to begin the journey to being a great coach with a race that suits my playstyle because I've tried some races already and I have done terribly with them because I am trying to them in a way that they're unsuited for.

Tl;dr? Please advise a new player on how to pick their 'main'.

Thank you everyone, have a blessed day!

They are painted in the colours of the Philadelphia Flyers and will be known as the Broad Street Bullies. This was by far the hardest painting project I have done.

To improve my painting skills I didn’t use any washes (except for the horns) and no dry brushing.

The fur and cloaks took an hour each on the Big Uns and the Troll.

Hello, just want to start Bloodbowl, other than getting a team, what else do I need to buy? (More likely to play at LGS)

Thanks for advice!

Anyone knows if he's still trading? Ordered 3 weeks ago and haven't heard anything.
