So let me get it right (Ive only used the new WA rules once due to the league i was part of fell apart before the new rules came out).
The official rules are - If i want to move, pass, pick up, catch, foul, blitz, turn from face down to face up or stand up then i must roll a 4+.
Possible soon to be rules are - You must roll a 4+ to do any of the above (inc, block) but add +2 to the roll if blocking or blitzing. Also, Minotaurs can only be used on teams that have them in their roster selection. eg, My Norse will not be able to buy a minotaur as part of their team, only an Ogre. |

Not quite. First, the possible soon to be rules now are (have been for about a week). Second, in those rules, you don't have to roll at all to unstun. Otherwise you're correct.
As for minotaurs, i don't understand your question. You already could only have them if they were available to your team. Nothing changed there. The only thing that changed regarding big guys is that ogres are now available to fewer races. |

So the rules on the gamesworkshop bloodbowl site in the playtesters vault (V1.2) are now official!?!
Boy am i behind the times 
What i ment by the minotaur stuff was that in the old rules (when WA had to move 1st) Minotaurs were available to Chaos, Chaos Dwarf and Norse.
In the print out i got from GW site (playtesters vault V1.2) the team lists have Big Guy's already on the lists-
Norse; Linemen, Thrower, Catcher, Blitzer and Ogre.
Does this mean that Norse are no longer aloud to use Minotaurs? |

| No, but LRB 3.0 is. Ignore playtesters' vault except for house rules. |

The vault is for testing new house rules that might become official in a couple years, though will be changed a lot in the meantime. Like i said, don't pay any attention to it unless you're looking for new house rules to try out.
The only sources of official rules are the LRB and the Annual. Either one is fine but the LRB is often more up to date. |

JJ promised and he's a man of his word from my understanding. So I think you can bank on that date.

Okay, here's my "solution" to keeping WA "wild" and "unpredictable" while preventing them from being simply "Really, Really Stupid" (ie, 4+ on any action w/o help from friends, etc.)...
On "Blitz" or "Block", roll d6. On 2+ execute actions as normal (ie, as desired by the owning player). On "1" execute action ... in a RANDOM direction! If "Block" to empty square, WA moves 1 square that direction (no dodging required as opponents won't attempt to tackle the "raging bull") and their turn ends. If "Blitz" was declared, WA moves (again w/o dodging) in random direction to the full extent of their movement ... or until they hit something with their "Blitz!" (For the truly insane, allow this to even take them into the crowd. Who knows, maybe the WA saw someone in the crowd sneering at them? The crowd, of course, would take them down as usual when a player leaves the pitch!) 
[Note: In either case, the "Wild" Block or Blitz should never get assists and can even be against members of their OWN TEAM!] 
On any other action, roll a d6. 4+ to execute normal. 1-3 to bellow loudly without acting.
I think this would put a sense of randomness, "wildness" and excitement back into the WA rule and still make it "different" than the BH or RS rule. What to you all think? |
