Legend Bowl 2008

[cat65177]

A quick Question Clever, How many Fan Factor can i get?

[shags]

you get 5 free. You cannot purchase more

[cat65177]

Do i need to get a board or not?

[cleverfellow]

It's not compulsory, but frankly the more, the merrier.

I have 2 more friends joining LXG and the bloodbowl league. Vanessa with her Ogres, Wulf was planning on Orcs until I told him no more Orcs allowed. I think he is leaning towards Necromantic now.

[cleverfellow]

That's great news Ben. Please pass on to them the legend bowl email and I can get them a team sheet to fill out before Jan 20.

Let Wulf know that I have Chaos, Wood Elf (sans Treemen) and Humans available if he would like to borrow a team.

[bensmall]

They have heaps of teams. I think he has decided on Dwarves. I've given them the forum link, I'll pass on your email too.

[cleverfellow]

The little orcs, eh?

thanks for passing the email along, Ben.

[bensmall]

Looks like we won't have Wulf and Vanessa afterall sorry.

'We talked about it, and decided that it was not worth the cost for the 4 or maybe 5 meetings that we could make through the year'.

I'll do a general post to see if some casual membership might be feasible.

[shags]

seems a shame. Even if they only visit 5 times a year that's only $10 a visit. I pay 3 times that per visit to the rc flying club as well as a $180 membership fee.

Hopefully something can be worked out.

Edit - have cancelled chaos team.

Mutations have been nerfed that badly its insane and not worth playing them imo. Will look through other available rosters not including orcs.

Cheers,

Chaos Dwarves are looking enticing. I see that this legend bowl is rather bashing and having something like elves would just be suicidal. Will play around with some rosters and have something in shortly. Again though - should i try to find players earlier to try and catch up game wise with the rest of you?

Also - the minis are a problem. As im not sure if the BB league is something I want to continue with I feel purchasing a whole team would be a waste of dollars at this stage.

[cleverfellow]

I appreciate the feeling on miniatures, since a full team (15-16 figs) will run to a good $100. If I were more of a GW shill I might say think of it like a computer game you will play for a few months. But no.

Borrowing miniatures is fine, but it will restrict your team choice to what is available. Right now I can offer Humans, Wood Elves, and Chaos, and that's all I have. Dwarfs are a possibility, though.

Yeah - beggars can't be choosers I hear I'm happy to play anything really just trying to find something that wont leave me with an 8man starting roster game after game I think ill make wood elves and hopefully some nice dice rolls will save them a little bit.

[cleverfellow]

I think Wood Elves are a good choice. Should run rings around the other teams in the league.

Don't worry too much about casualties. If you have less than 11 fit players for a match, you get Journeymen for free (they still thingy towards team rating) to take you up to 11. In the case of Wood Elves, you'll be getting a 70,000gp player, as opposed to the 50,000 linemen or lineorc, and 40,000 zombies, hoblgoblins and rotters other teams get.

edit- I'll get you a list of available minatures later today
