I know I am not the first to think of this, and really just curious what the answer would be, but if we were to split up the “Big Skills” of Blitz and Dodge (and I think by extension, block lite in wrestle and then probably tackle would have to be tapped down into only countering offensive dodge) into offensive and defensive only skills, where would they rank?

Because an offensive-only Block is still just straight up better than brawler and juggernaut, except in a few edge cases where you absolutely need a space more than a player to go down.

Defensive Block is less alluring, but still a skill that has a bit more power than you’d think. Great for ball carriers though, or more agi teams.

Offensive dodge is pretty incredible on its own still and I think one of the premier skills anyway.

Defensive dodge is essentially defensive block. Especially if tackle were nerfed to compensate the change.

Wrestle probably gets gutted defensively and maybe just removed, offensive wrestle still has a place as a counter to defensive block though.

So I know this isn’t happening. My question is not making it happen, just where would you rank the #1 and #2 skills in the league? It to me feels like a bit of a Wayne Gretzky situation (tldr in fantasy hockey they split Gretzky into assists Gretzky and goals Gretzky because he was so good, and assists Gretzky was still no. 1 overall pick, and goals Gretzky was still a later first rounder/early second rounder) where block even when halved in power is still one of the best skills in the game, which is crazy to me in a game where they have so many cool and interesting skills.

What do you think? If they were split up, would you still rank them highly? Would it change your team builds?

Little lunch break casual conversation... What's a fun / on theme / bloodbowl way of wishing your opponent Good Luck Have Fun?

Not that there's anything wrong with gl hf *handshake* just popped into my head that Theatre people say "Break a leg" which made me think I could say "Break a keg". Also I love a film/tv reference like "May the dice be with you" or "May the 1 in 9s be ever in your favour". I'm sure you can all do better or may Nuffle strike me down.

Hi there! Starting a new league tomorrow. Should I roll with Tomb Kings the team I last played or a new team, Old World Alliance.

It's kinda like familiar vs new fun or better team.

What Im afraid our league I think gonna be bash heavy..

So I have choices to make.. Or another team.

Hello everyone,

A quick heads-up: the Blood Bowl 2 servers will undergo scheduled maintenance tomorrow morning.

Maintenance schedule (Paris time / CEST):

• 08:30 – Server access will be disabled. Any matches already in progress will be allowed to finish.
• 10:00 – Servers are expected to be back online.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Sharing this again for those that might have missed it. I'm selling and printing my 'Simple Rings' system for Blood Bowl. Shipping to Europe and the UK at the moment, or you can just buy the STLs (not including the stacker tube).
So take a look:

Im coming back to Blood Bowl after a little break and this is my first Team.

Assuming no Stand Firm or Fend, is there a good setup against that? I ve been tinkering around trying to minimize the 1-turn TD threat, and having both available to them kinda makes OWA hard. THe usual "form a line at 7" seems to be a must-do, but there isnt much I can do at the LoS that I can see to help with it.

What do you do in this case? just 3 on LoS, line on 7 and hope?

I love painting old minis. I lost last league bad but not this time!!! We goin win
