Considering the stuff I sold I think I may even be in active this year... just too little for me and I’m talking from a 9 armies standpoint (only 3 fully painted, 3 half-baked but almost all entirely assembled). I just hope they release at least some books soon, cause to buy a unit box I’ll probably have to wait the Christmas battle boxes if they continue this trend... My wallet needs the break, I built and painted 3 armies over lockdown lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandlemad Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Sooo... new edition of Blood Bowl is forthcoming, looks like: https://war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/4729 New rulebook, new starter kit, new human (imperial) and orc teams. Folks had already been anticipating where the release of the snotling team would come in the schedule but seems like it'll be more than that and may indeed be more than a week if they're launching a new edition. SG stuff does often tend to be released on the same weak as 40k/AoS stuff though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it speaks a lot to the spirit of Blood Bowl that not only do they have official art of a gor cheerleader (who appeared previously in one of the BB magazines) but the artist also traced the expression from the high goat out of that one meme. We are all of us richer for Blood Bowl existing. 5 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireAbend Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Would love Freeguild bb Team as new conversion material. 🤗 Got myself a Freeguild army in lockdown. Also hoping for new Underworlds /Warcry Warbands for non chaos in winter and 2021. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPjr Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) Just noticed something (really very very, mildly, if not at all) interesting with the 40k starter sets. i wouldn’t bring it up it’s so dull but I guess it could have some bearing on future AoS editions and it’s not like we have anything else to talk about. Anyway the biggest set, the “command edition“, so the equivalent of the Dark Imperium box in 8th and our Soul Wars box gets you the hardback “rules” book but it’s not the same as the “Core” book that came with the Indomitus box and that is on sale now. It’s half the page count so I guess basically everything but the rules stripped out, still comes in just shy of 200 pages though. Maybe me but feels like a slightly odd choice for a starter set. you’d think they’d want to really lock newcomers in with all the juicy lore and whilst i’m sure there’s plenty of people that would like a lighter, more condensed book like that to take places with them I’d thought those people would be less likely to buy a starter set and prefer something even more slimline, condensed and lighter like the AoS Gaming Book. Fascinating, eh?! Edited August 3, 2020 by JPjr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonnenspeer Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 "any units that are added to your army during a battle do not gain the battlefield roles listed on their Pitched Battle profile." This is a gamechanger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a gamechanger! Agreed. It seems, at first blush, like a really clean way to fix a big problem without gutting summoning entirely.

This is a gamechanger! So basically you need the three battlelines on the field at the start of the match? That basically makes useless few abilities for certain units... Edited: right reading better it’s basically only for summoning but not for reserves, so it’s not that game changer...

Its not huge in the old battleplans. But now tzeentch for example summoning battleline units and getting bonus points for them being battleline would make summoning more powerful. luckily this faq prevents that.

Now Tzeentch does not do that anymore. Well everyone needs a minimum of roles to start with and to remove the extra advantage provided by summoning extra stuff seems fair. Death is not impacted as they usually re-setup the same unit destroyed. Also we are talking about extra points, summoning a unit on an abandoned objective already gives you the objective.

But dont some new plans say objectives are held by battleline or leader? So a summoned unit cant score the objective as it loses the battleline/leader designation.

So a summoned unit cant score the objective as it loses the battleline/leader designation. Only The better part of valour and Places of arcane power. The others give only extra points. In both cases is the first one to arrive that counts so you physically need to be in range and destroy the first unit to change ownership. In that case summoned units would take two turns to overtake those objectives (unless they can charge 9+ and destroy on the turn they are summoned).
