Cards with new box?

Post by bouncergriim »

I have tried to stay on top of this thread, but might have missed it. Are the random cards from the box listed anywhere, I saw one was badyear git, but aside from that I was curious what the other cards were.

Thanks.

They do have their rightful names. This is Blood Bowl, not WHFB...

If you meet one in a dark alleyway, I suggest calling him "Sir!"...

The name changes for all the races seem pointless and confusing. Don't chaos warriors exist anymore?

Oh for me that is easy...useless git.

I have played norse in 2 leagues...totally ROUGHLY 50+ games. Of those games I have had a big guy for lets say 30+ games (different teams so multiple big guys).

Not one level...not one. A TOTAL of 5 SPP...total. Spends 90% of the game on its ass or screaming into the abyss.

Hate them....HATE THEM.

Well, fortunately, now you can always choose them as one of your three MVP choices.

@rolo: Nice Pic!

Looks like the new Orcs are consistent in size and not too much bigger than the originals, just wider. I was hoping the BOBs would be taller than the humans, but judging from other picks they are not much taller. I'll probably file down some spikes as others have mentioned. I think my only other nitpick is the Catcher holding a ball. I preferred the old catcher with a big glove and having the Thrower be the only positional holding a ball. Made them more easy to identify on the field.

Definitely looking forward to that box showing up on our doorstep now.

Got that big box, which actually was smaller than I thought it would be (not a problem, I think the map is quad-fold). Haven't really had time to go through everything, but looks pretty good.

Also got the rats from an Ebay seller, who thankfully did not price-gouge me. Unfortunately, the blades on the tail of two of them broke off. Not the worst thing to happen, as I think the tail knives are a little over-kill already. I'll likely just leave them off and not try to glue them back on. I am a little worried about the other parts breaking off though. I know Skaven are a bit squishy in the game, but I was hoping that didn't translate to the minis as well!

Does anyone happen to know if the boiling water/reshaping trick works on this kind of plastic? If so, I might try to tuck the tails in closer to the figures.
