BB Mag 4

Well i've ordered and paid for mine today via GW Mail order.

Hopefully when it gets here tomorrow, it'll have another Lizardman Cheerleader with it.

Over here the stock is -9 for BB3, so practically no order possible.

I wondered what -9 means in more concrete terms...

kind of antimatter in the shelf absorbing the first 9 mags once put in there??

Any chance of posting page 3 here so we can see all the info?

Surely it can't fall foul of GW's copyright if they didn't print it?

Technically the whole article is Fanatic's property now and I'm pretty careful with GW rights as a rule of thumb since I like being in there good graces. TH looked at page 3 and he pointed out to me that I have references to 7 different web sites ... several of which have content that could appear to be GW relaxing their IP defense. The other point is that Andy asked me ONLY for an article on my collection, I added the 3rd page since I felt that a whole article just talking about my collection didn't have enough of something, so I thought the collector's mini guide would make a nice add. So combine: A) its not what Andy wanted with B) GW legal not liking the web links and you get C) my first article in BB Mag which Andy, Jervis, TH Lapin, Anthony TBBF, and my wife have all emailed me was a good 2 pager and I'm very very happy with the article and I'm real happy Andy gave me the chance to add something to BB Mag after 2 years of trying to write something worthwhile ...

The page was better served on my web site anyway with a picture guide next to each miniature. Any real collector needs pictures to guide the path ... so this is one of my new priorities for my site is to get this picture guide up on the web.

Do you know what the best thing about BB MAG4 is? It's say's "Next issue: Nurgle's Rotters"

Personally I can't wait!

Well i looked on the bloodbowl site and saw that bb mag was ready to be released and at the end it said "Next issue promises some more great stuff such as Khazalid Leagues and, of course, the Nurgle's Rotters. See you in Issue 5.", so i guess its more waiting time, not that gw aren't good at this ;]

Hum... End of the month...

BB Mag 3 > august (well, no offence meant, I talk about theory)
BB Mag 4 > october

So it's seems to be a "per 2 months" magazine (don't know the term for "bimestriel" , not bimonthly)

So I guess that BB Mag will be released on décember (end of the month).

BTW, maybe it's a silly question, but why Fanatic doesn't make something like an annual subscription for this mag, like it already exists for Citadel Magazine, for example ? It would avoid to fans to miss one !

You can get an annual subscription to the mag, well at least that's the theory anyway. It seems that the the Mail order guy's don't know anything about it so they can't take subscriptions. So basically there is an annual subscription you just can't get it.

I queried getting a subscription with the trolls today - and he was aware of it £20 for 12 issues. So less than the cover price and no postage.

However, I didn't go for it... I think ordering BB Mag 4 and a subscription would be too difficult! When I receive Mag 4 I'll ring up for a sub.

Well, could some kind soul tell us poor sods, that still haven't the slightest chance to get even BBM3, what's inside nr. 4? Something like a not-so-sneak preview? Thanx.

Got two copies delivered this morning, anyone at spiky tomorrow want to give me £2.50 for the mag + £1.70 postage ( Thats half what i paid )

£4.20 in total and its your. I'm not making any money on it, just recouping my expenses.

PS The Vampire rules include off for a bite. Some things never change

I'm still looking for a release date of the game again -- I've got the only copy of I know around here, which is kinda problematic unless everyone just wants to play me all the time (hard to try and start a league that way.)

Oh, and other than the ogres, any new minis for the rerelease of the game that we know of? And when?

You got any spare ltd ed Lizardmen Cheerleader figs too? I'll happily pay for them if you don't want them...
