So with the new release of BB imminent, we've just seen the first confirmed change in the rosters (as opposed to the optional extras in the rules that we've heard about already).

Human catchers will come with the same stats and skills, but will only cost 60k...

Oh I saw that they had the same stats, but missed the price. Good catch.

Hmmm. At 60k, I might take one as a DP caddy on all non-Amateurs Human teams. Normally I avoid them because they're expensive targets, but cheap MA8 is a nice thing to have.

Totally makes sense as a fouler with that stat lines and price.

There are some assumptions here. Linkage?

I have heard nothing of new rules. please a short recap. Or link.

This roster change was spotted where, and by whom?

google found me this: http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2016/10/breaking-blood-bowl-unboxed.html

interesting.

Check out bloodbowl.com , especially the getting started page with unboxing video. I didn't notice pricing or much stats, was that info from GW staff?
Catcher being a bit cheaper will definitely get them chosen more, if they really are cheaper.

This rumor has been floating around on Facebook. I believe what I heard was that they were trying to decide whether 60k or AV8 was the smaller buff and go with that. But nothing official.

Interesting, I was expecting we would be getting no changes at all.

It could of course, but the human catcher is a bit of a sore spot as is.
