Talk Fantasy Football

Right, little later than planned, but an attempt to get 2021 going properly. I think I've got the options up for what we've not selected and included the new teams. I've excluded the nobility as we've pretty much just done them in 2020. If enough people choose them via "other", then I'll change my tune rather quickly

Hopefully we can drum up the support for another annual cycle, as I think the last time around went pretty well (what with Covid and a complete lack of seeing anyone since sometime deep in the distant past - can anyone remember those times? -ed)

I've very clearly started strong with "snotling" as I've not got the team and they'd be rather exciting

Opening few votes in and we've early pushes for the old and the relatively new (or also old, depending on your viewpoint, I think...), with Undead and Snotlings making the early running. Black Orcs get their first vote too, as a nod to the very new

Come vote folks!

The more I think about this, the more I wish I'd allowed the option to change your mind, as I'm leaning towards Black Orcs now Good opening votes though. Do keep them coming!

I didn't even need to mention you by name this time around have you voted yet?

Maybe ...

just over half way in and 12 votes to date. Black Orcs leading the way so far. Lets see if that holds to the end.

Voted for Black Orcs!

Happy to contribute a model for any of the teams though.....hopefully a little quicker this time

I tend to find that whatever the intentions, last minute is always the end product, so it was good to have a handful of the models nice and early last time around

I'll be taking part, but as I'm still feeling a bit sheepish about being a late entrant to the last team, swiping the goodies and then realising mine was the weakest paint job I'll contribute but not put my name forward for the draw I think!

Have pasted a link in reddit in the hope it may get a bit of interest from there: https://www.reddit.com/r/bloodbowl/comm ... nt/gmzmakb

I hope to take some photos of the Little Bretons over the weekend which I will post on imgur. I can then add a link in the Facebook Bloodbowl community and back on a new reddit thread which may help drum up interest.

one thought though - once a team, colours and basing have been decided, could I also suggest that a particular base size and shape is used (with exception Big Guy could be 40mm)?

At the risk of sounding churlish my one OCD thing with the little bretons is that there is a mix of round and square 25mm and 32mm bases. I can't rebase them because they are part of the story (especially with the contributor names) and whilst I look forward to it being a conversation point it kind of draws the eye away from the paint jobs.

I think a standard base size would be a good idea too.

The masses have spoken and I'll have to curb my square base usage (my chap was unfortunately already on a square base and I'm a firm believer in the round base for BB )

We're coming to the end of the choice period and it's still looking like Black Orcs. Once that's in, I'll set up a series of other polls for uniforms and bases and a taking part thread too

Any suggestions, shout now and I'll add them in once we're up and running
