So what happens to my Unicorn??
Moderator: TFF Mods
Here's a quick query for folks, a while back JohnnyP asked me if I wanted to join his Bloodbowl league as they'd had a player drop out and that unbalanced the league system. I said 'why not' and joined up, after scanning through the team lists I thought I'd give the Amazons a whirl and bought the team from the GW Online shop. With the latest little 'rules bombshell' we've decided to quit our current league and start a new one from scratch (which I'm happy about as I was going to get whipped by all the TR 200+ teams that everyone else had! )
However now I note there are no rules for the Unicorn (I've got an Amazon team again) and in fact no mention of the Unicorn star player either. We elected to 'create' a Rookie Unicorn using rules fond on another website (I forget which) But on the basis that even the Star Player doesn't exist now JohnnyP has ruled that Unicorns cannot be used.
On to my query... (about time! now...
Apparently the general consensus from a Bloodbowl mailing list is that the Unicorn sucked anyway... well who cares... if you don't like the unicorn don't play with it, but if you do then the least that can be done is to supply rules for the damn thing.
I was wondering if anything had really changed at GW over the years... I guess not... they can still act like muppets.
Cheers. W.

What a bunch of wingeing bitches I've got in my league!!!
<p>
However, he is right about GW, or Fanatic, releasing the player, then the figure and a few months later revoking the player for whatever reason. This is not good marketing or salemanship from GW. They should not still be selling the Unicorn as part of the Amazon team bundle, but listing it with all the old Star Players such as Frank 'N' Stein and Geargrinder.
<p>
I was happy to let him have a Unicorn, and even made up some rookie stats since we don't allow Pre-built Star Players in our league. But, until the Unicorn is officially dropped, and he isn't really that good anyway, I'll have to keep him out.
<p>
I have randomly drawn an Amazon team as my 2nd team for the virgin season, and am not that fussed about the Unicorn......I'll use it to give my girls some pleasure during half-time

Heh, I hope that your not stero-typing us all as Surrey bods just because we're rich enough to live and work in Surrey
<p>
I lived in Hampshire for 18 years before moving to Surrey and originate from well past the M4 divide. What say you now oh southern nancy boys?

LOL @ JohnnyP!!
Don't I remember you owning up be being Welsh (or close to it) on another thread a while back?
The Hampshire/ Surrey border is close here, occasionally I'll leap the Blackwater stream that's about 30ft outside my front door for a walk on the posh side. Always a relief re-crossing and being allowed to swear again though!

Ah, but the incinerator has been ditched now......apparently being relocated across the border in Hampshire <br>
Our royal blood was enough to influence the destruction of such a ridiculous proposal.<br>
As if we have rubbish to burn in the first place......It all gets given to our neighbouring counties.<br>
As they say, 'why throw your rubbish in Surrey, when you can throw it in Hampshire or Sussex!!!!!<br>

Longshot, A deathroller can't handle the ball either. I know it's not really the same thing , but maybe they could revamp the unicorn rules and allow them to kick the ball- never carry the ball, but boot it down field or to a teammate.
Sort of like Gus the Field Goal Kicking Mule (Old Disney movie)
