Talk Fantasy Football

Ah. Right you are
Then again - neither of those actually have long legs - so renaming the skill just makes more sense!

I'm not going to argue with you about the Kislev for Slann fit, but given that there are manufacturers who already make circus-themed miniatures for blood bowl, I'm going to suggest you need to get out and meet more people. I'm genuinely amazed you could be unaware of them.

I'm discerning here between a team roster/archetype and a fun twist on something serious.
Just like there are nun-miniatures out there, but I don't think a Monestary team archetype makes sense.
But admittedly, the BB World and fanbase is full if silly stuff

Are most of us really unable to accept AG4 humans?

We have humans whose movement vary from 6 to 8, Dwarves with AG2 and AG3. Any player can gain increased AG by scoring 2 touchdowns in a game of Blood Bowl; clearly being a member of a particular race doesn't permanently homogenize an person. I don't understand why a Kislev catcher having AG4 is such an insurmountable barrier.

I'm delighted that an effort is being made to include a popular roster that many people play on the tabletop. As with all of BB2016, keeping the rosters as they are benefits the continuity of the game (and keeps old players with all of the old teams from going insane). While real Slann fans won't be likely to enjoy the changes, at least there's a translation point, which is much easier to explain than it is to explain why your Savage Orcs aren't a real team.

That said... Slann Forever, Baby!

AG4 catchers across the board maybe? I can't see any case where that would be a negative.

As interesting as the Slann chat is (and for the record, I think a re-skinned slann is better than none at all) when is the vote for Khorne and Bretts being allowed into the NAF?

If there is going to be a vote, surely the debate has gone on long enough, let's just vote and then move on with or without them.

Heck even the debate has moved on as this thread is now purely about Slann / Kislev!

According tomthe latest minutes at thenaf.net there will be a vote late September.

The voting for Khorne and Brettonians is now open until September 30, 20:00 CET.

The more people vote, the easier it is for the NAF committee to follow the direction of the majority.

Voting Link, to make it easier. Also, discussion thread on the NAF forum.

Thanks mr V.

Have the membership been alerted by a newsletter email? Or something? I ask 'cos none of my league know anything about this when I talk about it.

Got to admit the only thing I have seen announcing the commencement of the vote is this thread!

I've seen it mentioned on Twitter, and I've seen a few groups post it on FB - I've not seen a post from the "Official NAF" FB page, but that could be because FB decides what I am and aren't interested in (as opposed to what I tell it I'm interested in).

Yes, it was in the newsletter. It's on here, on the naf, on Facebook, on reddit, and on fumbbl. And Twitter. But spread the word more!
