Thunderbowl Home of the 40mm board

It was oh so close all the way through, back and forth...

I was ahead up until rnd 5 of the second half, but I just couldn't hold back the tide of foxes....  By the end of the game it was 0 casualties for my side.... and 2 dead, 3 badly hurt, 2 MNG and 2 SI.... 

Then they tied it up on turn 7, with 2 go for its after I screwed up placement trying to crack a nine man cage....

to add insult to injury blitz on my team 8 allowed him to score a TD on his last turn pulling ahead....

Well after many table top seasons, I have decided to finally bring in an Elf team. "The Elfpire Blocks back". I have played many Elf games online and a bunch on table but never in season play before.

I am actually really good with them (ask Tony what happened to his Minotaur in Thunderbrew) and plan on making it to the Final next season. So suck on that biatches!!!!!

So I'm seriously considering starting my first team in the next upcoming season in August.  I've maybe played 5-6 games of bloodbowl period over the last 5-6 years so I'm woefully out of practice.  I'll be playing Skaven, which probably isn't the ideal learning team due to their low AV.  But hey, I'm a sucker for punishment and Skaven were my first Fantasy army that I started with about 14 years ago.

I decided I'll probably start with an apothecary to try to minimize some of my better players (stormvermin and gutter runners) from leaving the game early.  I won't bother wasting it on linerats as they're a dime a dozen.  My largest concern is the lack of players as I'm at 11 exactly so every casualty will hurt, but I'm of the understanding that most teams have this issue when they first start out.  I'll likely buy a few more linesmen before investing in 2 more gutter runners.

So with that here's my starting team:

6 Linerats

1 Thrower

2 Gutter Runners

2 Stormvermin

3 Rerolls

6 Fan Factor

1 Apothecary

Looking forward to coming out this weekend and playing some bloodbowl.  I'm going to read the guide to blocking to get some insight on some of the tactics of this game as I understand the mechanics.

See you on the field!

I've already got another Blog going for my miniature painting and other stuff. I just started it a few weeks ago and there is not much to speak of. I do have 3 entries with what I'm working on for a friend and for myself. I'll be updating it as I lay paint on them or add green stuff. I'm not sure how people feel about post pics here so I'll just leave it for the other blog and post the link here. Feel free to take a look and to comment.
