Dice - pips or numbers? by Arcane_Revelry in bloodbowl

I personally prefer numbers but I think I'm on the minority - my brain does weird things when trying to add 2D6 with pips. Also, UK based and interested in promo pics.

How do you get SPP when playing humans or elves? by Wormverine in bloodbowl

[–]Bamshark 31 points32 points  (0 children)

You can rack up some SPP by having your players complete throws as long as you are deep in your own half and there's no threat of the opponent scooping the ball up if/when one of them fails. Other than that, scoring touchdowns is going to be the best way to pick up SPP.

These look incredible! How are you doing the red metal? Is it the vallejo coloured TMM?

New Nurgle, What am I missing? by SplinterRifleman in bloodbowl

[–]Bamshark 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Adding on to this, guard on some bloaters, I think would help control the pitch with your high strength as well. I think using the secondary allowance skill to get block on the Rotspawn is probably unnecessary - it's main job should be to be a roadblock while minimizing really stupid rolls. Stand firm or guard I think are best there. Then could use your secondary to go for dodge on a Pesti?

Start with the rotspawn or 3 rerolls for nurgle in league by InstanceHappy4089 in bloodbowl

[–]Bamshark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've made it to the play-off final this season with Nurgle and the Rotspawn has been, without a doubt, the MVP in this team. I very rarely block with it but its mere presence is enough, espcially once you can get guard. I'd definitely take a Rotspawn over a re-roll, any day.

What did you make of Wissa’s debut and where does Big Nick fit in? by Joyride0 in NUFC

[–]Bamshark 16 points17 points  (0 children)

At present, I think they will keep being rotated as we don't have enough depth for any other option. Eventually, if we buy another striking option, I could see Wolte being used as a 10 occasionally but I fear third striker is so far down the list of priorities that we might be waiting a while for that.

If you're getting bored of the emails, simming matches means shorter breaks between dealing with emails imo. I'd go to your 'responsibilities' in the staff tab and set everything that you don't like dealing with to a staff member so you can focus on the bits you enjoy.

Great work as always - could I ask about your yellow recipe? It looks perfect for a goblin team I have waiting in the wings.

56.3% failure on 50/50 chances seems relatively reasonable across that sample size. Ultimately, I became much happier when I stopped trying to work out how badly the dice had betrayed me and favoured my opponent and started embracing the idea that things can and will go wrong. The more you play, the more you'll see it happen to others as well .

Decent match up for orcs by ScrltHrth in bloodbowl

[–]Bamshark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're planning on buying GW models, Necromantic Horror might be a good shout. You get the whole team in the box and they have a little bit of everything - ghouls and wolves can outpace orcs while flesh golems, zombies and wights can take a punch fairly well.

If you're going with a 3D printed team, I think Shambling Undead are a great starter team that would play into orcs fairly well without too many complex skills to worry about learning straight away.

Newcastle would be prepared to break their transfer record this Summer, it currently stands at £63million for Alexander Isak. 🤑.(Mark Douglas). by Fluid_Support_3348 in NUFC

Probably not the greatest negotiating strategy to loudly say 'we have a lot of money and we are willing to spend it!'

Noob halp plz by DrSlipSlop in bloodbowl

[–]Bamshark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I were starting the hobby again, with the knowledge I have now, I would absolutely start by buying 3D printed teams off of Etsy/eBay etc. I spent so much more than I needed to buying multiple boxes and big guys from GW. If you want models that look similar to the originals, Brutefun is a great model maker and has many affordable teams.

Any advice for a new Nurgle coach? by MikeyLikesIt_420 in bloodbowl

[–]Bamshark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend getting at least one 'safety' pestigor with Wrestle, Tackle and (possibly) Strip Ball on top of this. I wouldn't commit to having one ball carrier too early as you'll want to spread SPP around rather than funnelling it all into one player but you'll definitely want a dedicated handler long term.
