Question about 3rd Vs 4th editions

Hi Guys !!!

I'm new here !!!
First, excuse me for my bad english, because i'm French

I have a couple of questions :

1) First, I play with the 3rd editions of blood bowl. I see that a lot of people play with the 4th edition. But i find a lot of 4th edition:
- one in blood bowl mag N°1
- one on bloodbowl.com
- one with some kind of crazy teams like Nippons or Chaos Bastard
- One like the bloodbowl. com but with 4 Wights in Undead team and 4 Blitzers in Dark elf teams

So I want to know wich is the OFFICIAL 4th rules

2) Someone say me that now Undead regenerate on a 4+. Is it true ???

3) Is someone could give me some tactics (offence and defence) for my Undeaed teams (1 vamp, 2 wights, 2 ghouls, 3 zomb, 2 skel)

In advance thanks you

Welcome to TBB Fenryll!

You really don't want to play 4th edition. What you want is the Living Rule Book(Commonly referred to as LRB) rules as can be found on www.bloodbowl.com. That pdf is all you need!

As for regenerate: Yes, it's 4+ now.

And your team... Well.. The latest rules doesn't allow you to have vampires anymore. But on the other hand, you are allowed 4 wights instead.

Tactics: See the tactics forum. It has lots of tips for most teams.

Actually the 4th edition official rules are scrapped!

There is another post on it in the other forum viewtopic.php?t=1547

If you wan't to play the 4th edition, its in-official now. You have to get the rules by finding the 1st Blood Bowl Magazine.

The official version is called Rules Review 2001, and these rules are available in PDF format at GW's site. http://www.bloodbowl.com

Ok, thank for your response !!!

So the 4th edition that i just buy with crazy rules like apparence fees are not the official ones.

So Ok I try to download BB2k1.

But on BB2k1, you have not the cards like Events, magical objects , etc ...
There is just a board with a handicap for weaker teams !!!

It's not funny

Do you think that Game's Workshop will in few months sell a New Blood Bowl with new Official rules ???

The Rules Review apparently fought to keep the cards in, but it was scrapped due to different reasons.

Big one is that the cards isn't produced anymore, and is a big cost to do.

Anyway, If you have the cards, use them as house rules added to the Rules Review 2001 (Living Rules 1.x). Just go through them and remove the most unbalanced ones and come up with a rule for cards. An easy way to add them is just to say that both teams get 1 card each. Then the team with a handicap gets rolls on the handicap table.
