What I really want is a block die with no skull on it.

Hahaha. I want Block Dice without skulls, too, but my opponents Block Dice have to have at least 2 skulls per die.

I'm surprised by all the blades on even the human linos. They look beefed up but it is like every player has illegal weapons. But I suppose it goes with the art style used with the Cyanide game?
Bear in mind there is a special play card for knucledusters tha gives Mighty Blow for a player. Just knuckledusters!
Not crucially important but doesn't seem quite right.

Fortunately I can still hook you up with both of those. :wink:

I do like the look of the Skaven dice set.

You already did! Indirectly!

There was a vendor at Eurobowl selling a bunch of impact stuff. (And Greebo, Black Scorpion, and many other third party vendors).

I bought a d11 and the Ogres. Hoping to get them done before I buy the BB box ;)

They didn't say anything about it, but I'm guessing not.
They didin't say anything about the cost either

Not impressed with this at all. A MV9 stunty killer.
Also re rolling BH. Really...and because the figure has a tail knife.

If you cannot stall out for an 8 turn drive to score with dwarves then you need to go and play canasta with your dad..if you can find him.

I don't see how the gutter is more of a stunty killer for being able to reroll badly hurts?
If you've inflicted a badly hurt on a stunty, that's usually enough. You usually don't use your apo (assuming that you have one) on a goblin/snoting/halfing anyways. It's also not a given, that the reroll won't be another badly hurt.

To be honest, I'd rather see a gutter with horns than two heads. The horns making it the stunty killer, due to getting st3 on the blitz.
But what happens next? You'll block the gutter down (hopefully) and foul it. If you're opponent has invested his TV in such a manner, that's fine by me

I guess Heff is thinking of stunties getting BH on a 9.
However, Weeping Blades appears to be a reroll of the cas roll, it will not work on a Stunty injury of 9.
Phew.

So I just visited my local GW to pre-order.

Had no problem with the boxed game and deathzone but the dice and skaven team have already sold out in the UK online store. Each store has been allocated a certain amount of models and dice that will be available on the day, but I think those are first come first served.

I'm sure the dice were bought up by scalpers to go on e-bay at massively inflated prices and more skaven will be available. But this is a good sign that the game is proving to be so popular. £20 for 12 plastic models is pretty good deal for GW too.
