SPECIAL RULES:
Weather Table
2 Putrid Secretions – Secretions of some sort cover the field and make it a slippery mass of slime and pus. The ball is harder to pick up off the ground (-1 to dice roll to pickup) any movement beyond 6, roll a D6, on a 2+ you are stopped dead in your tracks due to the sticky nature of stepped on maggots.
3 Spore Season – Spores from all the decaying plant life are being kicked around the pitch. All PASS and CATCH attempts are harder to accomplish (-1 to dice roll), as well as only QUICK or SHORT passes are able to be thrown.
4 – 10 THE BIGGEST CAVORTING NURGLING – Melvin manifest his gyrating and dance moms best self on the field (rules provided) the weather however is great for a normal? Game of Blood Bowl.
11 Noxious Gas – Due to the noxious gases on the field anyone at the end of a drive must roll a 2+ to setup for the next drive. KO’d players will move to RESERVES but not be allowed to set up for this drive.
12 Rain of Maggots – There is something not quite right about this , maggots are falling like rain! They are oily and sticky feeling as they land all over the field and the players. All players must move to prevent themselves from being stuck in the downpour. Those who have do not or have not moved (due to a turnover) must roll a D6. On a 2+ you manage to shimmy and shake your way to not being overwhelmed by the rot. On a 1 you are placed prone, no armour roll is made.
Melvin: Nurgling Gone Wild!
MA4/ST2/AG3/AV6 No Hands, Side Step, Stand Firm, Shadowing, Disturbing Presence, Foul Appearance, Tentacles
Anyone within Melvin’ tackle zone must roll a tentacles check to move out or through of any squares due to the slimy nature and spraying of slop Melvin spreads around as he gyrates and dances.
On the result of NICE WEATHER on the weather table kick off Melvin will manifest himself on the field dancing and cavorting to bring as much nurgle joy to the game as he is able.
Place Melvin on the TRAP DOOR of the receiving teams end of the field. If - at the beginning of your turn but before any player takes an action - your opponent is in possession of the ball, Melvin starts his gyrating dance of sublime nurgle-ness towards the ball carrier. Using the ball and chain rules for movement he swings and sways his entire MA allowance with no “go for it” rolls allowed. If neither team is in possession of the ball when a turn marker gets moved, Melvin just dances with himself where he is, doing what nurglings do (twerking is so wrong but he likes it) and not moving.
Melvin does not count as an assist for blocking, or fouling, he does count as an opponent in all cases where an a tackle zone impedes a player (agility roll needs to be made, dodging etc).
If/When Melvin enters a square in which another player is occupied, he will roll the equivalent of PUSH results for the purposes of a BLOCK action (stand firm, side step etc work as per the standard rules). The ‘pushed’ player must roll a D6, on a 2+ nothing happens, on a 1 that players falls prone due to the slippery nature and nurgle-butt gyrating making it impossible to stay standing (no armour roll is made, player is just placed prone)
Due to his undulations, shimmies and shakes, he does not need to roll any dodge rolls while moving through tackle zones.
Any player ‘pushed’ by Melvin in his throes of wild dancing will be pushed to an open square or chain pushed (as per chain pushing rules) while each ‘pushed’ player must make their tentacles roll to slip on the slimy ground (no armour roll is made, player is just placed prone)
On a result that the roll for WEATHER is a double, a manifestation of Melvin apears on EACH trap door, players control the nurgling on their opponents trap door.
If anyone blocks Melvin and casualties him, they receive 5 bonus points.
Any rolls of Armour or Injury against Melvin cannot be modified by any means, no assists for fouling, no mighty blow, etc. |
