Necromunda would make an awesome setting for an MMO.

I dislike the way that the posters are just the bloodbowl box.

Hopefully dwarf tossing will form an integral part of my sporting life once more.

Point of pedantry – you couldn’t toss dwarves in Blood Bowl. Halfling-tossing, sure. And you could toss as many goblins as you liked. Dwarves? Never.

Looks nice, although the stands and sidelines seem a bit empty. I presume these are massively work-in-progress pics, though.

I still want a computer recreation of Necromunda, if only because I have no one to play with and haven’t for about 10 years.

Oh god, yes. That’s looking pretty okay. Really, any sort of decent digital rendition of Blood Bowl is welcome to me. I played quite a bit of that Java-based thing in addition to the tabletop game (despite losing all the time with my Lizardmen team).

Garth, I stand to correct you. M.U.D.S. for the Amiga is the greatest sports game ever made and every right thinking person in the universe knows that.

one of the mods on their forum “we’re trying to have the same guy do the English texts than for Chaos League.”

does this refer to Kieron?

I really, really wish they would do exactly this, only for another sport. As good as Mutant League Football was, I will always remember the greatest sports game, ever.

I’m such a geek…

Blood Bowl was the first GW game I played (together with Space Marine, later known as Epic Space Marine, later known as Epic 40.000).. I was 13…

I guess I could write a whole book about the Blood Bowl league in our class.. How we made our own playing fields out of cloth, so we could play blood bowl wherever we went.. How we would brag around about our painting skills and whatnot…

It was the beginning of a very long and very unhealthy addiction… on the other hand all the money I spent on metal miniatures, rule books and whatnot during my teeange years was money I couldn’t spend on drugs and booze, so GW is probably the only reason I survived this part of my life…

Grand Monster Slam was pretty awesome at the time !
I might enjoy this one, as i’ve always been fond of Blood Bowl’s tabletop version. Sounds exciting !

Are you translating this one Kieron? If so slip an obscure RPS reference in there… ¬_¬
