Sounds like more glass cannons like Norse, perhaps without the frenzy.

There was a post (with pictures) on the Cyanide forum from someone that had been to a games show that was less than complimentary about the new UI, but I can't find it now (was posted last night).

@mzuckerman - plasmoid's roster.

I've just trawled the cyanide forum and I cant find that post. I remember seeing it and the guy was not flattering towards the game at all. Now it is either gone, or buried....

TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.

Knights yeomen (squires) and cheap peasants???

:smoking:

I am happy about that.

Up till now the Cyanide player designs had been decent, some good and some poor. The sketches looked great and the BB2 designs a significant improvement.
But those players are just so bland, just medieval French soldiers without weapons, nothing about them suggests Bloodbowl.

I don't have high hopes for the roster either. The ironic thing is the GW look to be pretty much dropping Brettonians from warhammer.

I asked Dode (as I thought I was going mad(der) and he said the account deleted the post.

@Rolex - the new game (if that's what you mean).

I meant if they are using the original roster, or the latest one.
There is quite a difference. (at least to my vanity... :lol: )

No idea - as there isn't a real Brett BB roster I've not bothered to follow any of the fan-made stuff.

Look at the human player in that pic, he has a medieval version of American football armour with extra spikes. Most of their other players do too and are distinctly different from their fantasy equivalents. The Brettonians are either dressed as peasants or knights, equipment not really practical for bloodbath.

They'd look fine on the battlefield just not on the pitch.

That's why I've always had an issue with Brettonians, every team list has been bland and added nothing to the game. Whilst I've yet to see an interesting conversion or image of them either.
