Being the main inspiration for putting together a BB team, it would be the band that would also drive the team fluff. The BB universe has a few anachronisms within, so figured those rowdies would work as BB sideline figures. Historically, I haven’t been a big fan of the orc team, but I have always been a fan of the 40K Goff Rocker models and desired to paint them. Playing Blood Bowl off and on for nearly 30 years, owning multiple starter sets, one would think I’d have fielded an Orc team before. Catchers are opened faced, as is the Thrower with his bowl cut. Blitzers have the full fancy Knight of the Realm helmets. I think I’m going to let this squad rest for a bit and focus more on another team for the near future.Įnjoy a few glamour shots. Underworld…I’ve _never_ beaten an Underworld team in tourney play…perhaps a post for another time.Īnyway, a few tourneys in with this team and I feel I’ve got a better grasp on their abilities. And if it weren’t for an Underworld team, we would have played at one of the top tables. We ended up recieivng an award for most TDs scored at the tournament. In an attempt to redeem that performance, I took the team again this year where the boys, and girl, performed much better. I rolled this team out at a tournament last spring ( ROT Cup) where I didn’t win a single match and ended up at the bottom of the list. Playing humans has always been a struggle for me as I find myself pulled in too many directions in regards to their generalized strategy. So, the Green Knight and Repanse de Lyonnes (WFB’s “not-Joan of Arc” character) at the moment. For fan appeal, we have players dressed up as historically significant or legendary Bretonnian heroes. The team plays out of Brionne and their name, The Falcons, is in honor of the birds that Lord Fredemond summoned to assist in a aerial battle with greenskins in a battle at Brionne during the early years of the unification of Bretonnia. The team isn’t really made up of knights, they have more honorable things to do, but athletic citizens of Bretonnia dressed up in pageantry for the crowds. However, with four different elf teams and undead teams, I can definitely see the argument for more human teams.Īnyway, I’ve sort of framed this team as a pro-wrestling/renaissance fair style theme. I do use them with the human roster, and don’t necessarily have any strong feelings toward whether there should be a Bretonnia specific roster or not. I have always been a fan of the Bretonnian fluff in Warhammer Fantasy Battles, so converting the team using Bret knight heads was a simple conversion to put a squad of knights on the pitch. I still get my ass kicked in CCL, though.A companion piece to the last post, this is my take on the other half of the 3rd edition box set. The blitzers and blockers are pretty cool players to have and when you manage your TV you can get some good matchups sometimes. You just have to live with the fact that your cheap players will break a lot, but you can make them work. They are a bit weird and can be helpless sometimes against elv teams, but you can make them work and they are annoying to play against. What I was tryind to say was: They are not bad by desing. You don't have to pray to nuffle for pows then. Wrestle them down and then give them the boot with a cheap player. I usually have 8 to 10 cheap linemen around and fouling is a big part of my gameplan with brets. If you played an elve team you will probably be on a 32 win steak lol.

No offence mate but it sounds like your a good player and has completely nothing to with your crazy foul strat.
