The new human team is on its way...

I suspect it'll be mark bedford - he's been appointed as the new full time Fanatic sculptor. From what I've seen his stuff is generally good, especially some of the forgeworld stuff.

yup waay better than the highly overrated (in general and IMHO) Gary M ..

I sure hope they're something decent. I'd hate for this great of an idea to die because the sculpts on the first few teams are bad. The truth is that if they look like the pro Elves or the new secret weapons, or Star Players, my money will stay in my pocket. There have been a few good minis, Zara and Ramtut (plain but decent) stick out but 90% of what I've seen coming out is just no good.

Here's me kissing Phil's butt a bit, but I LOVE the Ramtut figure.

I love Ramtut too, I like the new secret weapons and a few of the stars as well so gues i'm the minority there. As long as they don't look anything like the pro elves we should be on the right track. Hopefully they'll get the scale under control.

At first it sounds like a good idea, but then I think about how much I use non-GW figures whenever I want to get a new team. I really don't like any of the Blood Bowl figures.

What BloodBowl stuff has he done other then the Treeman? Just trying to get a feel for his stuff.

I also wouldn't mind seeing samples first, not to mention the PRICE!!!

Didn't he do Thrudd too? And possibly the lizardmen (not sure, especially about those lizards)

I think it was in BBMag 1 or 2 on the last pages; they had some of his sketches...

I'm due to put in an enormous order for models soon, should I take the GW website as being a full list of their available BBowlers? For instance, if I wanted a Minotaur would I have to get Grashnak?

yes until the new one is officially released

or you want to get a warhammer one to convert

nope, the new minotaur for bloodbowl is out (as featured in white dwarf) just ask for it on the phone.

I just hope that they do not cranck out some poor & unbalanced new rosters to go along with the new teams as "sales accelarator" because I have the feeling that GW thinks that every new mini release has to be accompanied by some sort of new rule or update to the existing rules.
