Hi Folks,
the new team "Deamons of Khorne" was created for the latest edition of the BB pc game:
http://bloodbowl-game.com/index.php?rub=news-info&id=300
Are there rumours that this race may also be published or officially confirmed by the rulez comittee for tabletop BB?
Thx in advance
Machtin |

nope
got no idea who is designing the roster in the first place, let alone play testing it
they should have spent the time fixing and adding the missing stuff before making new things up imo |

That's not Cyanide's fold, its GW's IP that don't let them put Slann in. |

| Here's an idea: why don't they give Leap and very long legs to all of the khorne daemons, as well as diving catch, diving tackle, etc... |

That would be a way to deal with it (Horrors of Tzeentch minis have already been used to that purpose).
Still I suspect we'll be facing nothing of the sorts... |

"Today, they are known as the most violent, and the most feared, Blood Bowl players of all time" makes me laugh, as it's one of the most untruthful statements ever to come from Cyanide/Focus.  |

| To be fair, once it was decided that it would be Khorne then this was a no-win situation. Either you stay "true" to the fluff and build demons as per WFB, or you add a team which wouldn't be another total bash & cas machine (which I believe is one of the biggest complaints about the game). Go with the former and the team will not be good for the game as it will have to be very powerful; go for the latter and it's not "true" to the fluff (especially for purists). Given thatthe decision to go with Khorne was made first, I think the latter is the lesser evil. Fluff should, imo, always be secondary to gameplay, and it is almost always possible to explain away these matters in a suitable fluffy manner. |

Could not agree more or have said it better. |

I second that motion. 
If one disregards the "Khorne" part of the thing (fluff and player names) and looks only at stats, this seems like a team that can be a bit tricky to play with at first but with interesting potential.
To be honest, I am thinking of changing my Vampire team project (using Dark Eldar minis and Heresy ghouls for Thralls) into a Khorne team. Time will tell.  |

Couldn't agree less. If we're going to ignore fluff, then we might as well have MA8 AG4 Dwarfs and AV9/10 Elfs as standard.
Not saying fluff should be the be all and end all, but it needs to have some bearing. This isn't a Khorne team. It might be a balanced roster, it migh be fun to play, but it's not Khorne. |
