The vibe I got at WO was that most people felt like it was 32 out 7?

Unfortunatly for the reinforcement of recidivist dwarf users views; were the dwarfs not in the top 4 or 5 places for most of the tournament?

I'm driving three people tomorrow and one has Dwarf and another Chaos Dwarfs, should i try and leave them at a service station?

Leave them and clip them with the car on the way past in case they think about hitching to the tourney!

This is a symptom of not "capping" extra skill choices at 2 max of each.
( maybe 3 would work, 4 definitely not)

Dwarves and zones spam guard and ruin my day (life's hard when your a gobbo)

But, you pay you money, you take your chances, you too can play dwarves..... :puke:

And yet dwarfs have never won the ARBBL (that's not a challenge!).
CD's won the first one, but that was 14 coaches, and it was only 6 skills for all teams.

If they've paid, no worries. If they haven't, then I'm afraid I'll have to veto that idea. :wink:



On a completely unrelated note, bar flocking the bases, my team is done! I'll be generous and give it 6 out of 10 for the idea, 1 out of 10 for the execution (the painting really, really sucks :( ), but it will be finished.
Now watch me not have to play! :pissed: :lol:

My 'meta' goal for Blood Bowl is to 'Do the 24' so at some point I will have to play both Dwarfs and Chaos Dwarfs but to be honest I feel dirty just think about taking dwarfs to a tourny (I kind of like Chaos Dwarfs so am less alarmed by the prospects of them).

Joking aside, good luck to all those travelling tonight and tomorrow morning, see you all in about 18hrs :D

Definitely. I'm going to have to take dwarfs again at some point, as my rating is sub-150 them after my first ever tournament!

P.18, and it's now managed to lower itself to infantile, puerile smut.

I'm ashamed of you all. The Cakebowl thread managed it by p.3!

This is just the winners, not the racial breakdown. I have no problem with people using whatever they wish to play, I do. It's just that facing dwarves in every other match gets so frustrating.....
