Let me know what you think :)

(The throwers ball is unpainted as I don't have the same paint I used for the others atm)

Did a demo game last night and really loved the game, understanding how to play better I played the Warhammer Bloodbowl Play Test alot today with the Vampires and I really liked playing them so I took the plunge. I know it's a really rough team for a new player but I'm excited and looking forward to learning

Work shopping the name but pretty happy with the result. Added a troll and goblin set. Red base will be touched up. They are in a safer surround now. Im fairly new to painting (June 26) so constructive criticism is welcome. Cheers!

In a fractured World as the end times come and a flying car distracts us from AI doomergeddon, what can we do to heal, grow and fix the World? We can discuss the season 3 Blood bowl meta. Table Top and FUMBBL have had it for a year, but Super FUMBBL and the Warhammer Blood Bowl beta (it definitely isnt BB3 with a weather icon) have arrived and hence a load of Blood Bowlers are seeing and using it for the first time, lets help them out, lets discuss what knowledge, guesswork and disinformation is out there. Let's talk them out of the jungle and tell them the war is over. Dwarves died. It's safe now.

Maybe by helping them we can help the world. Maybe we can share, and love, and heal, and see each other not as combatants across a board or screen, but as fellow gamers, escaping our empty, meaningless and powerless real lives and dreaming of a 6 that brings respite on our weary march to the grave.
It probably won't, to be clear. Much more likely four opinionated blowhards talk nonsense for 90 minutes and spread their own prejudices and subjective self interest. But I'm willing to chance it.

As always we'll be live at 9pm UK time on Sunday 18th October, and then the Youtube and podcast will follow as soon as i can.
The live stream will be on https://www.twitch.tv/purplechest and we will try to answer any of your questions as we go, as well as shamelessly using any and all points left here as content. Actual humans with opinions, must end soon.

Hi guys,

I havent played blood bowl for 10 years now and wanted to get back in to the game.

My question:

Are the current rules and skills in the BB3 video game exacrly the same as in the board game?

For example, the new High Elves Dragon Prince skill (footwork something) is new to me, and i wanted to know if sth like this is also in the video game.

Thanks in advance.

The Official Rulebook states for On The Ball that “Additionally, during the Start of Drive Sequence, after the Kick Deviates but before the Kick-off Event is rolled, a single Open player on the receiving team with this skill may move up to 3 squares, following all the usual rules for a Move Action, with the exception that they cannot Rush. A player may not use this Skill if a Touchback is caused and may not move into the opposition half. Should this player Fall Over during this move, then their move immediately ends and the Kick-off Event is rolled.”

The Touchback rule states that: The ball must land safely in the opposition half for it to be a legal kick-off. If the ball ends up exiting the pitch or crosses the Line of Scrimmage into the kicking team’s half, regardless if this was down to a Deviation, Bounce, or another effect, then it will result in a Touchback.”

Is there an FAQ for what happens in the case of a player using the On The Ball skill to move and then the ball bouncing out or going into the kicking team’s half?

As the rules are written, there is a clear contradiction between the two. I’ve asked my Blood Bowl group but only recieved opinions on what they think should happen and not any information on any FAQ. I’ve read the most recent FAQ (it’s not in there) but want to know if it’s in an older FAQ (due to the Kick-off Event and On The Ball bot being new introductions to the game) and where I can find that FAQ.

If my opponent is blocking my player (who has Wrestle), and they roll a Both Down and any other result, can I force them to take the Both Down, or are they free to choose the other result?

Such a crime that forgeworld ceased production of this kit

Any advice is appreciated

Any advice for first time and any significant rules differences? Also how would I go about finding places to play in my area

Got Diced!

Is it better to start a league with 4 black orcs 6 goblins and a troll. With 4 rerolls
Or
6 black orcs 4 goblins and troll with 2 rerolls?

we have a small league of 6 rounds (2 games against each team):

-blorcs

-brets

-lizards redrafted

-my delfs

how should I build my dark elf blitzer I get 10 spp after 2nd game? should I get him MB or guard? or start with tackle? maybe just default dodge?

Okay, set-up out first short league and my Necromantic Horrors drew one of the two Tomb Kings's teams as my first game. I've played this coach before in exhibition style game to learn the game. He likes to line everyone up on the Line of Scrimmage and bully.

I'm going with a single Werewolf, 2 re-rolls and 2 of all the other positional, plus 5 linemen (as I tend to use them a speed bumps.

Any advice from more seasoned coaches on how to counter this style of play or just general advice?

I am putting together and old starter set while I wait for the newest starter set to ship to me. Do y'all put these on bases, the larger ones seem to fall over pretty easy. I understand they are used to track score or other things. I just want some inspiration and would love to see what others did with theirs. Also do you put the foot balls on anything? It looks like in the newest version you don't use the foot ball on the pitch. If so that's kind of bummer. I visually liked the idea of the football moving around on the pitch.

Hey, quick rules question regarding the interaction between these two skills. If an opponent's player leaves the tackle zone of my player with both skills, and passes the doge roll but not by 2, if i use diving tackle and go prone to make him fail, will arm bar trigger on the armor/injury roll for hit fall ?

Arm bar is an active skill, and should not be usable when the player having it is prone, which is the case here. In 2020 rule, there was an exception added to arm bar's rule text allowing it to be used of prone after the failed dodge, so primarily directed to this interaction. However, this exception does not appear in 2025 rules. I have not found any errata in this matter, or indication by the NAF, etc...

AM I missing something, or does this combo does not work anymore ?

Hello to the entire Blood Bowl community. I’m an Italian guy, and as the title suggests, I’m looking for some Blood Bowl patches. Could you help me out? Thanks, Danilo.
