I'm thinking of getting into this...

I want to do a Pirate themed army... But make it REAL dirty.. Not meant for scoring touchdowns... Just meant to kill / injure the other people's players.

I'm thinking of getting the OLD OLD OLD OOP Ork Freebooterz off of Ebay.. And converting them up so they'd work out... biggrin

Try using the Empire men at arms guys, just put em all on round bases, they are quite pirate esq and it would only take the odd ball to get em to be a blood bowl team

Has anyone considered running a league on Gaia?

http://www.blood-bowl.net/PBeMTool/

Is there enough interest to convince me to run it? Sure, the experience of working with minis is lost, but that doesn't make the game any less fun OR hilarious. And if you have painting minis, you can even add them to your roster!

I've run league with this tool before, and it's a beauty. Who is up for it?

EDIT: Alternatively, we could join a separate league, en masse:

On Tuesday our Interactive division released this press statement:

NOTTINGHAM, UK – JUNE 27, 2006 – Games Workshop (LSE: GAW), and Cyanide are excited to announce that Cyanide are now the official licensed developer for a series of triple A titles based upon Games Workshop’s popular Blood Bowl fantasy football property. More details of the first Blood Bowl title and publisher to follow shortly! Any differences between Games Workshop and Cyanide have been amicably settled for an undisclosed sum, and as part of the settlement the Chaos League title has been assigned to Games Workshop. There are no plans to develop or release any further Chaos League titles or supplements.

Dirty tricks, bribing the referee and even pitch invasions by fans are all part of this colourful, violent and often humorous fantasy sports game.

Did anyone ever play Chaos League?

I played the demo and as far as I could tell, it was Blood Bowl, so good call on GW's part! Don't CRUSH! ASSIMILATE!

Only problem I had with that game was it played like an RTS instead of a football game, so if you weren't telling each of your players to act, they were just standing there looking dumb. Meanwhile the AI team moves in perfect formation... Perhaps I was missing out on some vital setting...

Any vague interest in a PBeM Blood Bowl league?

I've run them before. Simple and fun! blaugh

EDIT: I've pretty much decided to run with it. The OWH40k/FGOGBB League. (That is the best acronym evar.) Here's what you need:

The Essentials:
Blood Bowl Living Rulebook 5.0 (Save as...)
Play-by-eMail Blood Bowl Tool v2.5b (Save as...)
Roster Builder (Save as...)

The links above are all available from:
Blood Bowl Rules site
PBeM Blood Bowl Tool

Wait... that's not also referred to as 'winning'?

To re-quote the relauch of Blood Bowl: "GET INTO 'EM, FORGET THE BALL! GET INTO 'EM, FORGET THE BALL!"
PostPosted: Mon Jan 08, 2007 6:53 am


Speaking of "FORGET THE BALL! GET INTO 'EM", I'm currently painting a converted Nurgle team for a new league that should start next month or so.
They dont score much but follow the above motto A LOT!
