That may do.

From the MBBL2 for the Amazon team:

0-1 Unicorn
130,000
8 4 4 8
BIG GUY, Sure Feet, Horn, Razor Sharp Claws, Really Stupid, Nonball Handler
General, Strength, Agility

New skills:
Nonball Handler: The player may not pick up or catch the ball.

Skitterish (Really Stupid): Unicorns are normally peaceful, quiet creatures of the forest. Roll a D6 before taking an action for a player with this skill. On a 1-3, they become skitterish from the aggression and violence all around them. This means they can't do anything for the turn and they lose their tackle zone until they manage to not roll a 1-3. If a player from this player's team is standing adjacent to them when the Skitterish roll is made, they can help calm the Unicorn down so you may add +2 to the Skitterish dice roll.

What about Wild Animal ?

This RC pretty much renders everything useless ^^

Wow Galak, if Torg thought mine was underpriced yours must be a bargain with AG4 and Horns. Sure, it looses Sprint and it's got Really Stupid (a good addition I think) but I don't think that's enough to offset the MV10 ST5 AG4 Blitzing this guy is going to be doing.

Once again, I don't even think a higher price is a deterrent on the Amazon team. They're one of the cheapest to buy into with a veritable ton of skills.

The only solution I can see is to weaken the guy to a level where it's almost silly to have him. Torg's last attempt is much better. This team doesn't really need anything else but GW sold the minis with the set and the Unicorn he proposed would be a useful addition without being a one beast killing machine. On second thought, I'd still get rid of Razor Sharp on his proposal but go ahead and keep Horn.

Please do not take any offense Torg (because it is not meant this way), but personally I think that Fantasy creatures like unicorns who couldn't handle a ball fit not very well into Bloodbowl.

Of course you are right, that there was already an unicorn starplayer, but as far as I measure the situation this starplayer got removed from the amazon team because of the above mentioned reason.

And just for the sake someone else would come up with other creatures, I would be against dragon bloodbowl players as well

(beside the occasional dragon in dungeonbowl)

So basically, you want your money you spent to be used !

I'd say give it a decent paint job, post it on ebay and watch the price skyrockets...

No harsh feelings !

Great idea SBG! I can see it now.

Hi guys. I'm new to this board but I just bought this great mini from someone here and I realized there aren't rules for it anywhere. I was thinking 10 5 4 9 Sprint, Sure Feet, Block, Tackle, Mighty Blow, Horn, Razor Sharp Horn, Hypnotic Gaze, Fireball and Zap (same a Wizard's spells) all for 100K.

How's that sound? Am I a genius or what?

No, keep it on a shelf or destroy it. Don't let it fall into the hands of someone who has no knowledge of it's power. As it is, Torg, you've almost given in to it's evil.

That's odd... the mini shouldn't have that effect anymore. We sent a couple of halflings on their way to some mountain to toss the molds into a lavapit. After the destruction of the molds, all negative magical effects of the unicorn mini should cease.

But... now that you mention it, we haven't heard from the halfers in quite a while...

Unicorns?

Throw another nag on the barbie and use the horn as a toothpick.

Kinda figured this would be the type of replies I would be getting. BTW, just posted it to see what would come of it, if any decent idea on the unicorn would come up. Don't get the mistaken idea that I was looking for stats to playtest for a unicorn (played him with the 4ed rules), I'll just wait for the Vamp Slayer mini to come out if I want a SP for my 'zpns.

OK, you may now return to your Toby bashing again (does this guy ever NOT have a new idea to post??)

Torg: I'll just wait for the Vamp Slayer mini to come out if I want a SP for my 'zpns.

Oh, come now Torg - you don't have to wait that long.

There's always Thrud!

Colin · Post by **Colin** » Wed May 07, 2003 4:14 am

Already have a Thrudd, but he's mainly for fun.

Skummy · Post by **Skummy** » Wed May 07, 2003 3:57 pm

Really? Both Amazon teams in our league have found him invaluable, as they placed 1 and 2 in the standings mostly by freebooting Thrud 5 times combined in the regular season. They're undefeated with him, mostly because he doesn't have tackle, and isn't as good for the opposition as he is for the 'Zons.
