Hmm.
Just before I stopped at CACK & moved into my building site/house I was given a hard copy of The Living Rule Book V6.0 - shown here with the new models. I have literally played 2 tasters. It can take me a while to get going with a new game.
I opened up the re-released box i got before Xmas last night.
It also looks like there's a significant base size increase, and the gaming board is thus significantly bigger.
Unless I'm imagining things my LR 6.0 has a subtle difference from the Tournament pack listed here:
Under Tournaments you only have 2 sections -
I also have The Spike/Magazine Trophy/The Dungeon Bowl/The Chaos Cup/The Blood Bowl/Other Tournaments
1) Other than page numbering at a quick scan it otherwise reads the same. Would someone kindly confirm for me when I'm down in a few weeks?
2) What base size should I use?
3) What pitch size are you using? Bit frustrated tbh that the pitch looks so much bigger than I remember.
4) FInally one - is it worth me reading the new rule packs - have they really changed anything from LR 6.0?
I have some Kromlech Orc Football Helments somewhere - and I was looking to make my own custom Ork Models - anything that would be preferred to make it clear which is which position - other than labelling it on the base?
And no I wasn't supposed to be building Blood Bowl just yet - but see Bonus Round II for why...
{BONUS ROUND I - GW Rant!}
They packed the wrong water transfers - I got an Elven Union Transfer Sheet!?! Not the Game Box transfers (pictured from my mates box) - angry email sent. Ming is not amused.
{BONUS ROUND II - Getting People Gaming}
I new I had one friend who had the 2016 boxed set in a cupboard as I helped him clear his house a little after his mum died last year. He came round last night and for the first time in over 20 years - made some models!? He's just sent me a tank you text this morning for the inspiration to 'just do it!'.
So I should thank you guys too for letting me scratch my orky itch.
But prior to that in the afternoon I visited an old beer bud - and he got Mk.I (Cardboard edition!?!?!) & Mk.II Blood Bowl (Wobbly Foam Board Edition) boxes in MINT condition from his attic... plus a MINT Dungeon Bowl Box (!!!!!) - which I've never even seen in the flesh.
Ming is VERY pleased with his Karma yesterday!
So I might practise with my two mates if all goes well - before I take on you pros..
