As I listened to each show, my appreciation for the Blood Bowl miniature’s game began to grow. Over the past few months, I have gorged over more Blood Bowl content then an Ogre Tyrant at a Skaven Buffet! I even started listening to several Blood Bowl podcasts like: 3 Die Block and Both Down, which both have their own unique levels of witty banter and sportscaster quality entertainment. With the exception of the Slaan (no longer in the Video game), an all-new Khorne daemon team was recently added and was actually made playable in the normal miniature Blood Bowl as well. Regardless, I became obsessed with Blood Bowl to the point where I began to look up list combinations and also started to play the amazing 23 team selection that was provided within the game. Needless to say, the video game is far from perfect and is still pretty difficult to control. I fed my Blood Bowl addiction with the easy to access nature of the video game. So as you could probably imagine…I have the Blood Bowl itch so to speak. My personal favourite was the All Star Player: Little Skittles (Skink) “Making it Rainbow”. The beauty of this league was that each YouTube celebrity made their own teams, and added a degree of personality and flare to them. Wood Elf teams getting crippled to one a man. Amazons getting smashed by Chaos Dwarves. Dark Elves running for it, but falling on their faces. This series was absolutely amazing! With most of the hosts having no clue how to play the game (excluding TB and Angry Joe) it turned out exactly how you would expect. Back in February, TGS began a tournament league, which included a variety of their network personalities like Total Biscuit, Jesscox, Dodger and Wowcrendor to name a few. One of my regular haunting grounds is the old Game Station Network (currently called Polaris). If you’re a regular listener of my podcast (The Warmonger) you will know that I love…okay, maybe that’s too strong…I mildly, to an exceptional degree, enjoy user-generated YouTube content based on video games/miniatures etc. ![]() Honestly I did not really think about it a whole bunch, until that one fateful day. I had always been aware of the Blood Bowl computer game, but heard mixed reviews on the title. Last, we have the game of the hour, Blood Bowl! Although it seemed interesting in concept, I just couldn’t get past the silly nature of the miniature aesthetics and decided to avoid it.įast forward to this year. I looked hard at Mordheim, which is basically the dirty dozen style game of Warhammer Fantasy and while it seemed like an easy transition for my gaming group (the transfer from Warhammer 40K to Fantasy was happening at our store) but for no particular reason the game just did not catch on locally. ![]() Battlefleet seemed interesting at the time, but I had no desire to collect floating pieces of metal that break under a steady breeze. I was causally strolling through an issue of the White Dwarf and I happened to notice a small section of the issue containing a segment on games like Mordheim, Battlefleet Gothic and Blood Bowl. Roughly ten years ago I started my journey into wargaming with Warhammer 40,000. I will be the first to admit that I have not always been a fan of this game. ![]() With the era of Games Workshop’s Specialist Games coming to a close I would like to take a moment to reminisce about the coveted game of the mighty lord Nuffle: Blood Bowl! My experiences with Blood Bowl are relatively fresh.
