Blood Bowl - Legendary Edition 12 new playable races

[Cirrus the Blue]

The strangest thing to me is that they included the REST of the teams! Why not just 1 more, huh? Still, I'm just relieved that they didn't sack Necromantic as I was afraid they'd go and claim "One Undead team is enough!" or something stpid like that.. Although, I would've even taken out Pro Elves if it came down to it instead of the Chaos Dwarfs. It would've been great to see the CDs digitized like the rest.

Seeing Count Luthor in sunglasses nearly makes up for the fact.

So ... I'm really confused why GW would tell Cyanide to not create the Chaos Dwarf team. The only thing I can think of is that they could not handle the graphics for a 4 foot player with their grid system.

Surely dwarves are the same size are they not? and goblins are smaller so CD's should be fine to do

[GuppyShark]

He means four-legged.

[Darkson]

how do people know chaos dwarfs are the ones not in? doesn't say that on the news item on their site, just says undead amazons ogres and 9 other races

Hello everybody,

About the number of races, there will be 20 races in Blood Bowl: Legendary Edition. The chaos dwarves will not be included.

Despite that I hope the 12 new races will fit some of your expectations.

Confirmed as CRaP/LRB6:

I'm guessing from wording they are headed for LRB 6 or Championship compliance.

K

LRB 6 and the Blood Bowl Competition Rules, are basically the same. Although the Competition Rules are a bit stripped concerning the fluff stuff.

So yes, to clarify, Legendary will be moving to LRB 6.0. That means, chainsaw without the "no hands", Yippy! And Woodie Catchers with ma8. Darn it! + the various other changes done in LRB 6.0.

Possible hope for CDs?
[quote="netronelson ("Nelson from GW)"]Just for the record.

Chaos Dwarfs are elligible in Blood Bowl, GW is not preventing them from being in the game. A decision was made early on regarding asset sharing, nothing sinister or personal to these guys. Maybe we'll see them down the road (maybe even brand new teams?) who knows...

As some avid GW table top gamer would know, Games Workshop is turning their back on the Chaos Dwarves in the Warhammer World. So it went back and forth, whether or not they should be in Blood Bowl. But since Blood Bowl is also moving away from the Warhammer World, there is still hope for these pesky lil buggers to make an appearance on da blood-stained pitch, but nothing is planned yet.

So do as I do, keep your fingers crossed.

P.S Side-note, I really hate playing against those darn Chaos Dwarves.

it is slightly depressing though as I want to play it now....

[Darkson]

And before anyone mentions that we've 9 races now, plus 12 = 21, the original post said 8 original races +12 - they're not counting the DEs.

[Heff]

But will thy correct the lazy ass port andlet me actually play online? Sadly I suspect not. and yes I have tried Simpleportforwarding, and no it did not work.

[GalakStarscraper]

But as Nelson pointed out and me earlier, Chaos Dwarves + the additional races, i.e. Chaos Pact, Underworld and Slann... who knows, they might end up as DLC or an expansion in the future, however, nothing is planned as of yet.

Enarion works for Cyanide ... so just knowing that they are considering an expansion in 2011 for the last 4 teams is good news.

I hope when they do this they get someone to consult them on how Animosity works ... I can so easily see that getting programmed wrong. But just knowing its on the table is good news.

No kidding, they hopefully work once every 3'rd fortnight if the moon is in the correct phase And if you are wearing sheep skin boots. And then only for a few posts before they become unreachable once again.

That is if you can get an account to post at all, seeing as their captcha system seems to be designed not only to keet bots but humans out aswell. (Took me 4 days of trying to finally get in).

Maybe one of the other races is Ultramarines?

I believe there was a fan-made mode for a BC on the BBDigital website. It was only basic, but iirc it worked.

Does anyone else hope for a CRP box set release to tie in?

... or am I being too optomistic?
