First Blood Bowl game

A few days ago a couple of my friends came over to play our first Blood Bowl game, but more importantly work out the Blood Bowl 2 rules. We are starting a league in a few weeks and would be just silly for everyone to come over and not have a clue with at least the basics gotten down.

It's crazy how simple the rules are yet it took us just a little over two hours to play just the first half. That said there was a lot of stuff we thought we knew but stuff kept coming up causing us to dive back into the rule book to figure it out.

In the end it was a very productive get together, we learned quite a bit, my painted figures finally got to hit the table, and it was great to see the progress Rob has made on his human team. They really look great up close and personal. I only took a few photos as I was pretty busy trying to push in the only score made in the game (hand over mouth, did I just say that? I mean the Orcs up 1 to nothing against those puny humans team? A practice learning game to boot!!!). Oh hell yeah I did;)

Here are a few photos of the game being played on my cool but overpriced (had to buy it anyway) mouse pad pitch for the Gouged Eyed Orcs. 


 
As always thanks for stopping by and having a look.

Cheers
Kevin

    1. Yes indeed, I like it, but Forge World prices are crazy. Yet I must be a crazy cause I bought it anyway. If you like football you should try it out. It’s a tongue in cheek parody of NFL football with rugby and soccer feel thrown in. Sometimes its more fun bashing than it is scoring.
