It's interesting for sure and something I'll keep an eye on. I won't worry about it for now and will be making a call once there's some substantial information.

I'll certainly end up buying a box for myself though.. Given GW pricing, I might need to start saving now ! Wink


Selling a few potions should cover that. Call it R & D. Twisted Evil

I'm happy to see a somewhat 'official' tournament/league thing happening on GW's side of things, but $79 US dollars for a ticket price, which does include lunch and one pint of beer or one soda, prizes include painted miniature or a whole team painted, but does that mean you provide the mini/team to be painted or you get the models from them?

Oh well, could nitpick every detail, its not perfect, but its something.

Why does Fumbbl care what WW is doing? Fumbbl can use any rules it wants I would assume so what WW means nothing. And if TT players don't like the rules then they should just not use them and stick with what they like. Seems fairly straight forward.

1300 TV is interesting. Woodies with eldritch sounds like a good power gaming strategy.

Anyone think of a better one?

I wanna win this!

It's exciting to see it coming back regardless. Hard to form much of an opinion past that at this point. All I know is I just bought the tabletop version and it's time to practice up before 2017 Very Happy

Jordell and 2 other wardancers does not sound bad to me.

Woodies with Jordell was mentioned on the first page I guess. Or in the blog comments.

3 wardancers and one of them is AG5...

Did you read the part about how you win? It doesn't seem actually winning games is how to do it...

League Points earned for Completions, Touchdowns, Casualties, Interceptions and Players Sent Off for Fouling. Whether you win the games doesn’t actually matter…


We'll see what the actual rulespack says I guess.

There really is not many differences between LRB 5.0 and CRP, nothing that will drastically effect the game anyway. I am guessing it is the same as others have mentioned with this rulepack laying around. CRP was hardly around long enough for them to have printed copies I would guess. Hell, once CRP came around, specialist games pretty much died off.

ANy buzz about BB is good but anyone that has been gaming long enough with GW products is bound to have skepticism because they are known for botching things and ignoring the community.

I fully support their rule requiring only GW minis at these events. It is their place, their game, their intellectual property and they have started it years ago. It would be like going to Disney World and expecting to see Harry Potter.

I'd rather keep CPOMB than go back to LRB4. I'm not at all bothered about sticking to 'official' rules though. Wink


I'm not so sure. Personally, if there was an LRB4 division on FUMBBL with a sizeable player base and official tourneys, I'd be very tempted ..

Obviously, this is all very speculative right now. My best guess is that they will stick with LRB6, for consistency with Cyanide (especially seeing as their flyer includes Cyanide artwork), but possibly include Khorne and Brettonians. Technically, that would require LRB7, although that could just be LRB6 with the extra teams tacked on. The LRB5 for the tourney is probably just 'cause they haven't got the minis yet for the CRP races (as someone mentioned earlier).

BUT!

The real question is: what teams are they going to include in the box?

I predict Brettonians and Gobbos ;-D

LOL. So Sann went down there and slapped them about a bit? Mr. Green

Then he invites them to the NAF so that they can see why their tournament will be poor in comparison.

I believe they're working on Human and Orcs (for an alleged boxset). Then artwork for Nurgle and........Dwarfs was it?

There are no extra races in CRP. The extra races that were put in LRB5+ and Icepelt are not official in GWs eyes. I think they'd be fine with Underworld and Pact, but Slann is a definite no no.
