Or for the lazy... *copy/paste job*

This issue we have a very important announcement to make.

We hinted that something big was coming on the back cover of issue 4 and now I can fully reveal that the biggest ever Blood Bowl Tournament will be held here at Warhammer World in Nottingham on the 1st and 2nd of March 2003! Coaches will be playing for the Blood Bowl – we are having a full-scale Blood Bowl trophy made, and the winner’s team will go down in the game’s history of winning it for that year.

We expect this to be very popular event and not just with coaches in the UK! At last year’s Resurrection event, we had coaches fly over from as far away as Australia and Canada, and I fully expect this Tournament to be no different. The event will also be NAF sanctioned with special privelages for NAF members at the event so if you’re not a member yet go and join at www.BloodBowl.net.

With only 150 places, tickets places will be hotly contested. They can only be purchased from UK Mail Order via the phone (0115 91 40000) on a first come first served basis. They go on sale at 8am GMT on Saturday 30th November; my advice, if you want one is to get up early that day!

In other news, the BBRC is currently in the middle of the 2002 rules review. This year the changes to the games system will be minimal compared to last year’s overhaul. The experimental rules published in the Blood Bowl Annual will be up for review, we’ll be deciding their status to whether they will become official or house.
With all this exciting stuff going on I must have neglected Blood Bowl magazine. Of course not! In fact I think this issue is the best so far, with the first in our series of famous teams – the Nurgle’s Rotters detailed and Blood Bowl takes to the high seas in what must be the craziest set of house rules to date. See you next issue.

I love this...

Blood Bowl Mag 5 is coming out.

The only way I can currently get BB#3 is to TRY and order it through the online store. And BB#4 isn't even on there!

Sheesh!

Pretty soon, I will be 3 Mag's behind!!

That's the reason I got a subscription through UK MO, cost a little more but I will get the mags in a reasonable time.

I just happened to place a mail order with GW UK a couple of days ago to get issue 4 and various bitz and was told that Mags 1-3 are no longer available...otherwise I would have bought them.

Got excited there for a minute.

Anthony, wake me when it's up.

*sigh*

Well just went to the GW Online Store figuring, that I will just order BB Mag #3, after all its only $3.95. And since my local Hobby shop didn't have a copy in the place I figured that I would order online. So I go through the hoops, then I get to the shipping page.

$6.50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To send me a magazine??!!!!

Sorry... I think thats just a wee bit unreasonable.

Now if I was ordering 3,4, and 5 then maybe I would pay the 6.50 BUT since the ONLY mag on the site is 3!? Then so much for that idea.

I want that magazine cover in an A2 poster size......

Grumbledook · Post by **Grumbledook** » Fri Dec 06, 2002 12:55 pm

there are places that print posters from pictures, though that might be a bit low res :/

Well my local hobby store FINALLY got BB Mag #3. Picking it up in 30 minutes!!

And it was $3.95. Woo Hoo....

I need to start a Games Workshop store in Rochester... wonder how much it costs and if they are a "franchise"
