I don't know that you can blame Chapterhouse for that. GW had been like that for quite a while before Chapterhouse started making stuff.JT-Y wrote:GW does not print rules for stuff it doesn't have models for. Blame Chapterhouse.

It won't be £95.

Yet we will see how much all the decks sum up in the end, and compare to similar products (Dirty cards and extras totalling 156 IIRC go for 20USD, 57 SP for 14USD), or one of those "print your own deck, starting at single copy" sites.JT-Y wrote:Decks of cards aren't pots of paint.
So yeah, better not be pots of paint, because for those I already know how the prices go, for GW and all the competition.

The original death zone had all of the cards, league rules and roster pad, I think that was £20?

Re: Warhammerfest Roundup of the Bloodbowl release 2016 or 2
I'd say 5th, as 4th edition was official in the Journal.
Or 10th, if you want to consider all the different LRBs as separate editions.

5th edition for me.
1st - Cardboard Pitch and players
2nd - Astrogranite Baby!
3rd - Birth of the Block Dice
4th - All the versions that never made it into its own box (Journal 4th and all LRB's) which were basically just variations of each other but by the end was different enough from 3rd to be a new version
5th - The new one.

Re: Warhammerfest Roundup of the Bloodbowl release 2016 or 2
I agree with you but just for the record, there was a box with one of the first versions of LRB so 4Th edition will be that one.Ithilkir wrote:5th edition for me.

Some nice pics of the boxed set over on BoLs.
Not much we don't already know but gives a better look at the scale of the board and minis when used in play.

Re: Warhammerfest Roundup of the Bloodbowl release 2016 or 2
The board looks huge, possibly too big to field at certain events. Are we really going to see die hards adopt the FUMBBL approach to side on game play?

I'm a British Freebooter, will play for any team including Undead (I have my own Apothecary). Good rates.

ARBBL Open/Pick'n'Mix will ask coaches to bring 3rd ed (or 3rd party of the same size) pitches, as the new boards would mean I'd need to halve the maximum number of coaches.
