Legend Bowl 2

[bensmall]

Myself, Liam, and Matthew are all looking forward to joining in next season. None of us currently own the game or miniatures, so if anyone has a team or 2 extra available to use that would be great. We have been playing a lot online.

They are both very new to the game so I have been recommending Orcs. Liam is quite a fan of Undead and is picking the game up fast, but will only be able to play if someone can provide him with a team to use. Matthew is looking at buying and painting his own team.

I would like to give Norse a go. I don't have a team either, but was thinking I could just use my painted Space Marines from my Space Crusade game.

Does the new season commence in January?

Glad to have you all aboard!

I'll put all the dates up for Legend Bowl 2008 in a separate thread, but yes, start in January, and finish in october/november.

An orc team is available for use, as is an undead team.

The orc team has:
3 blitzers
4 black orcs
2 throwers
6 linemen

The undead team has:
2 mummies
2 wights
2 ghouls (probably 4 by January)
3 skeletons
5 zombies


As for the norse... any muscled human with a bare chest should do the trick. Sorry, but Space Marine figures are not allowable. The figures we all use need to be a strong representation of what they are meant to be. So no goblins pretending to be trolls or anything like that. Certainly no space marines, necrons or smurfs allowed on the pitch!

You can order the team from GW in the UK. I picked up a chaos dwarf team earlier this year, about $100 for 14 figures.

Alternatively you could grab a box of chaos marauders, $50 nets you 16 muscled humans with bare chests and shoulder pads. Though this doesn't help you with the Ulfwerener. You'll need some sort or 'wild wolf man' figure for that.

Otherwise, if I can tempt you with Chaos, Humans, or Wood Elves, as alternative teams those figures are available for use.

Ulfwerener = Maurader + greenstuff

[bensmall]

hehe fair enough. hmmm is a treeman available with those woodelves? Can those wood elves be used to play normal elves, or dark elves, or high elves instead?

I find Orcs really want 4 blitzers, so Liam will probably be keen to use your undead team. Thanks for your reply.

Hi, I'm Liam
No offense to all those enthusiasts, but i don't have $100 to spend as recently gave up my paper run and blew all my saved money on a trip to Japan and Computer Games.
If anyone could lend me figures i would love them (not love love as in...... you know) until I'm able to build up the money to buy my own. I won't be coming on the 15th because of the trip but will be coming on the next one.
Thank-you Ben for notifying everyone about my want of Undead, but I'm playing in FUMBBL and finding that i love Neromantic, Undead, and any other pain team.
P.S. see you in January

Hi Liam,

consider my undead team reserved for your use in 2008

Ben, if you're coming in december we can have a look in the library for elf figures. I think there are figures in the cabinet that can represent an elf team if you don't want wood elves.

[bensmall]

cool, I'll be there. I like all types of elves, but woodelf without a tree would be my least favourite. I don't quite get why it's not ok to use woodelves as other types of elves instead. Dont they all look basically the same?

[shags]

My Dark Elves may be available...

[bensmall]

Cool, do you have 4 dark elf blitzers and a witch elf? Cleverfellow, does your chaos include 4 warriors and a Minotaur? Sorry if I'm being a pain, i just want to start practising the team I'll be using on the internet.

[cleverfellow]

The chaos team does indeed have 4 warriors and a minotaur.

[bensmall]

Another question If handicaps mean I have enough to buy a star player, but I don't have the miniature, does that mean that option becomes unavailable?

[eagles]

Hi every one!
i'm mathew that ben mentioned, my question is probably a re-hash but can i use goblins, orcs and trolls from my warhammer fantasy army?

I don't think this is a problems - Eddie did and they look great

I'm going to use fantasy undead next year for my games

[shags]

You may want to convert though to look more blood bowlistic.

And my DE's do have 4 blitzers and a witch elf.

[eagles]

awsome, my goblins are from skull pass, i'll probably only suse the troll, my orcs are older miniatures with a vest and one shoulder pad, if i take a few of their swords of they will look very blood bowly
