Next team?

[DinoTitanedition]

I actually liked the Savage Orc Team from the app. Though, I would prefer to have a themed box for that, with savage style but recognisable "sports" equipment. That could pait up pretty well with a couple of other teams to release a campaign book.

Example: "Road to Lurstria Bowl"

A campaign book containing a couple of predefined rosters, like the legendary teams. Players can take upon the role of

Savage Orcs,
Lizardmen,
Amazons,
themed Skaven,
themed Undead,
themed Human

Teams and simply play a series of five games. Nothing fancy, but something to add flavour and fluff. Just saying, it's not all TV1000 leagues and tournaments.

There's also room for a couple of teams that can be released in the future, in particular from races that offe a lot of variation within themselves. We've mentioned Snotlings, which is kind of a greenskin team, or factions in Chaos. Tilean or Marienburg teams could be possible as well and offer a mix of races, kind of as an opposite to Chaos Renegades. On a stream JTY also mentioned that he'd like to do a Nightgoblin team.

I guess you get the idea, Warhammer races with sub factions offer this kind of possibility.

Savage Orcs are fun! Picked up a box from fantasy, worked great:

I too love the savage orcs! Fingers crossed!

[TopsyKretts]

You went the extra mile on that one! Very nice.

As for alternate models with experimental rules, I would love to see a dwarf tech team ala the old Dwarf Warhammers with more secret weapons. And maybe a rough inner-city human team - like the Middenheim Marrauders who used to have a minotaur in 2nd ed! Some sort of biker elves would be pretty cool too.
But I think the most likely would be separate chaos factions if they make new teams.

Good GOD NO! There are enough dwarf teams already!

What we need is a team that brings something completely new to the game. A sort of leaping team. I don't know but I can feel a froggy vibe with them.

Wonder what people would think about that?

Maybe an alternate Leaping Lizards team?!

I love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle skateboard in the background. Kudos.

Damn, and I painted my blitzers in turtle colours too!

Finally got my copy of Spike! 8. Great as always. Good job!

Couple of questions for J-TY if he reads it:

1) What is the official BB (in game) year?

2) Bob retires in 2471 (page 16) but the match-up vs Morg is in 2472 (page 12). Was that an oversight?

Frog blood bowl seems silly. The obvious route for a leapy team would be kangaroos. Is there an Australian equivalent in the old world?

Seriously though Savage Orcs are a decent build or close to it. Hopefully they can combine the fluff with bringing something new to the game.

Just to point out again, that Slann aren't actually frog men, despite appearances. They are space aliens, presumably from a high gravity world that allows them to leap well in the Blood Bowl world (much like astronauts on the moon...).
Is that less silly..?

[king_ghidra]

I think the lore would support the general idea that Slann are both frog-like amphibians and "space aliens".

Personally I'm not wedded to the "leapy team" being Slann but i hope it finds a way to become an official modern Blood Bowl roster, be it as Kislev or whatever, because it's one of the most mechanically interesting teams in the game.

It should be 2520, right?
