Today we'll be looking at the Crud-Creek Nosepickers Snotling team which was released along side Spike! Journal issue 10 at the end of August 2020. You can see the team assembled and painted here.   I have been listing positionals in the boxes up until recently. However, the roster changes that came with the Blood Bowl Third Season Edition mean that you can only have as many positionals as come in the box. So, it feels a bit superfluous to list them, but for continuity and ease of access to the information I'll keep it going. I'll go back and update the info on the old posts with the new limits once I have completed all the teams.  You get 20 miniatures in this box which is great. 12 Linemen 2 Fungus Flingas 2 Fun-hoppas 2 Stilty Runnas 2 Pump Wagons Front of the box. I actually bought the team back in 2020 when it still came in the black edged box, i might have been a bit too excited to dig in and get my mitts on some greebly snotlings that I forgot to take pictures of ...

This month we've finally seen the release of the long awaited High Elf team. They were the last of the teams on the 'teams of legends' list. As they remained ignored for two full editions, I thought their return deserved a bit of a celebration. I decided it would be fitting to revamp the Elf name generator. I’ve scoured plenty of official material including the new High Elf 'Spike! Journal 21' and believe I have a satisfactory amount of official elf names. With over 750 I think I can make a fair name generator that covers the different factions. The generator allows you to choose which gender and between the categories of; Generic, High Elves, Dark Elves, Wood Elves and Sea Elves. I also did research on the Sea Elves as I see a lot of misconceptions on what a Sea Elf actually is in the Blood Bowl community. I might take this opportunity to quote the Warhammer fantasy role play 4th edition High Elf’s players guide: ‘Sea Elf ’ is a Human term for the Asur livi...

I'll keep working through the team boxes. After this post I only have 5 left to catch up with Games Workshop's release schedule. Today we'll be looking at the Nurgle's Rotters team which was released along side Spike! Journal issue 03 in September 2018. It isn't my favourite team as the whole concept and aesthetic of Nurgle has never appealed to me. Back of the Box. I must say I do like the playfulness of Nurgle though, The Beasts of Nurgle for example, being portrayed like large puppies that just want to play with everyone and not understanding why their playmates fall to pieces. The Nurglings are fun and mischievous and somehow the idea of spreading rot is even conveyed in a wholesome and caring way, seeing the myriad of life and growth that comes with decay. Compared to some other teams, the Rotters are obviously playing sport, their uniforms clearly and easily recognisable. I have seen some great colour schemes used in the community and this that since th...
