up-to-date Rules/Rosters for...

Toby · Post by **Toby** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 12:15 pm

Khemri, Nurgle' Rotters, Ogres.

Can someone post those for me please? I'm interested in 99% official ones. Also what Big Guy's / Starplayers / Wizards those expansion Teams will have.

(well they are for sale on GW's Online Store so I guess those teams are somewhat official by now...)

So will this October see a Rules Review or be more like the Release of an Expansion Set?

Toby, the easiest thing to do is check out Galak's site. He keeps it very up to date, and has all of the alternate rosters that are being tested to become official.

Well, thanks, but did anyone else notice that this does'nt fit with the Minis they are selling in the online shop?

I've noticed that GW is in many ways like a Brontosaurus;

It is the largest company around feeding in this niche.

GW has a tremendous appetite for green stuff.

It takes awhile for the pea sized brain at the top to realize what's going on.

The rosters on Galak's site don't match up with the online store because the store is selling the rosters from the BB mags. I guess it's not too strange that they're selling what's in the magazine, since there aren't currently any official rosters to go on.

Whats up with the Khemri Tomb Guardian? Is that supposed to be a mummy?

I don't think I understand this comment.

All the teams at this site:
http://www.midgardbb.com/GWTeams/GWRosters.html
(other than the Necromantic and Vampire) have figs in production for them ... and the Necromantic and Vampire figs are currently in production.

What did I miss?

Tomb Guardian? I don't see that anywhere on the US GW site. The Khemri have 4 mummies, a the blitzer (blitz-ra), the thrower (throw-ra) and some skeletons. The team itself is called the Tomb Kings in some places...

Toby: You're right - that seems to be mislabeled. "Tomb Kings" is the name of the team, and for some reason they seem to want to put it on the Mummy figure. I can tell you from experience that the figure itself is very nice, though.

Here's the Java Blood Bowl Positions.INI ...

[OGRE]
OGRE=O
GOBLIN=G

[NURGLE'S ROTTERS]
BEAST=BN
ROTTER=R
BEASTMAN=Bm

[KHEMRI]
TOMB GUARDIAN=G
BLITZ-RA=B
THRO-RA=T
MUMMY=M
SKELETON=S

Is the Tomb Guardian some kind of Khemri Big Guy?

Nice metaphor. But IIRC the Brontosaurus is thought to have TWO brains. One in the head and one more at the end of his spine (vulgo: ass).

But, WAIT: this metaphor isn't correct, you can't compare GW to a Brontosaurus.

The Dinosaur with a brain in his ass was the Stegosaurus !

Toby, I'm not sure I see the issue.

Tomb Kings = Mummies in Warhammer terms so that team does match the roster ... okay so they didn't call them Mummies but that is semantics.

The Rotters roster matches up just fine with the figs. The Nurgle Beast is available from the site under the WFB area.

The Ogres ... okay yes there is an Ogre Thrower fig. ... that is to help you represent your Ogre that most teams will specialize in throwing Gobbos. However Jervis's new Ogre teams that he officially requested be tested .. Ogre #2 has a Blocker and Thrower position:
http://www.midgardbb.com/GWTeams/GWRosters.html

So I think the teams for sale and the rules match up okay.
