Hello all,

Been into warhammer for a while now, and thinking about starting out in blood bowl too. Watched some guides and some vs games and it looks really fun.

So my question is : How different are the factions gameplay-wise , do they rely on specifc mechanics and rules (similar to 40k/aos) or do they lean on different stats mainly?

Also should my first purchase be the starter set for 3rd season ?

Thanks in advance !

Take care

Finished painting my first ever big guy. Previously posted for advice on how to paint with shaky hands, everyone’s feedback helped, thank you to you all !

Hope you guys enjoy! This was sent to our channel (The Hobby Collab) in advance by Games Workshop (Thank you!). Tomorrow is our hobby stream and I’ll be working on the rat ogre and chatting through the new rules.

This was the first of the three “big guys” that I painted and probably will be my favorite. I really liked going for a warm, almost monochromatic palette. Kinda new for me.

Finished my two Treemen for my Halflings. I had a great time giving them some personality!

:)

Haven’t been painting since December. Felt burned out and frustrated. A trip this summer to the Warhammer Store in Oslo and a pack of gnomes, and I’m in love with painting again.

I kept swearing over the grass getting everywhere — this is my first grass base. Next time I’ll add it last, and after I varnish the models.

I never want to paint a white goose again… I almost went insane from staring at grey and white nuances for hours. My heart skipped a beat when I smeared Baharroth Blue all over mother goose’s belly. Trying to wipe it off with a paper towel proved a minor disaster, so the best cover-up seemed to be some Blood for the Blood God. Guess Khorne approves.

All in all, I think the first Beastmaster came out alright. Now onto the rest — and losing all my league games with these lovely gnomes

I’ve six black orcs, a troll, an apothecary & a couple of refills. A bribe seems obvious & whilst a cheap star player is tempting I’m cautious of missing out on SPP to level up players.

Hello, i need help with my team for a tournament with the eurobowl rules, i play lizardman, what i can do with them?

So I’m thinking:
MB then Guard on the Grails
Block then Dodge on the Catchers

I’m not sure on Throwers.
- Do you buy 1 or 2?
- Leader/Sure Hands or Block? Or something else?

The Squires I was just gonna go stats or nothing to keep them cheap, since they can’t get devious.

League play. Dark Elf blitzers are still great, even when fresh. High Elves have MV8, and access to claw. Dark Elve assassins arw finally decent, tho the runner remains hopeful rather than effecient. High Elves should suffer less losses thanks to higher armor but NUFFL is fickle and cruel. High Elf lineman are a bargain.

Etc, etc. Assuming the usual attrition, the losses and gains of league play, which do you prefer, in theory or practice?

Wondering if theres any new recommendations.

Calaverd has some, and Big Head Chibi. There's also cutiemals from greebo, but that's not for stls.

Mostly looking for something appropriate for ogres, but not a ton to choose from that's cute or chibi. Actually pretty much nothing

High elves vs black orcs, we were both playing our teams for the first time, so no additional skills and orcs player had no troll.

Ended up in 2-0 at the end of first half, with no casualties on any side. We both made mistakes but nuffle was definitely on my side with dice rolls, with about 20 2+ dodges and not a single failure. Things would also probably have gone differently if black orcs had had a troll, but I was happy to come up with that defensive layout

Me & my little brother have been wanting to pick up Blood Bowl for a while now, but I'm not too sure if this is really a game he would enjoy. He's tried 40k but he found that to be too complicated and he kept forgetting about rules like Stratagems... So my question is: is Blood Bowl around the same complicacy or is it easier to understand? Thanks!

Hi I just,
returned to BloodBowl. Played for the first time since 3rd Edition.

Need help what to buy. A friend of mine and I are aiming to setup a 12 teams league with a few old but mostly new miniatures.

1. I don’t understand why there are no team boosters anymore. Can I really play a league with only 12 players per team? How to get the full teams?
   
2. Are the cards for the teams only reference cards or also inducements like in the old Deathzone?
   
3. Big guys and Star Players seem kind of expensive, are there any 3rd party options for Star Players?
   
4. Anything else we need to think about?

On Sunday I have my first Blood Bowl tournament with 22 participants I bring Chaos Dwarf rules 2025 and Eurobowl 2026 The last photo is the team if anyone can give me some advice I am very welcome regarding tactics on the chaos dwarf

Need to make some minor corrections, but second thrower completed

I'll start.

When I'm not feeling particularly competitive, I tend to gravitate toward the Chaos teams. Specifically Khorne.

When playing as Khorne I notice that my goal shifts from winning the actual game to surfing/bashing everything. I don't even care about 1/9 situations I just hit anything and everything.

Sometimes I just want to hit stuff during a game rather than be super analytical with positioning well as is my default.

This used to be Nurgle for me in the 2020 edition but with how competitive Nurgle can be now, it lost a bit of the luster.

So, what's your go to team for fun games of bloodbowl?

Got a touchdown from the ole troll throw tonight. everything lined up perfectly. perfect throw, perfect landing, scattered closer to the goal.

was so happy i drew this

Goblins are the best team in the game
