Blood Bowl 2020 Rulebook Leak

[Gallows Bait]

Also the dream combo exists. Stunty thick skull. Or Stull as this overpowered combo will surely become known.

Not Thunty or Skunty then?

 

[cjblackburn]

Imperials look like Brets with Ogre, 2 Blitzers and 2 throwers. Plus normal humans get 0-3 Halflings

Human catchers back to AV7 boo

Humans having halflings yay

 

[Coach]

Looks like the Imperial Bodyguard have Stand Firm and Wrestle, which would mean Brawler is a new skill.

Catchers down to 65k I think but can't get a decent image uploaded to show it and not found a good link yet.

I'm wondering if it's multiple block renamed.

that would make the team totally pointless since they would just be extra crappy lizard.

Really hoping it’s something decent since the team seems pretty cool

turns out it lets them rr a single both down dice but doesn’t say if it’s 1 or turn or 1 pr block

but that is great!!

 

[patbou73]

Halflings in Human teams will enable Throw Team Mate on the Ogre, which is great!

But this is a very sad day if they’ve left out the Amazons out of the new set. Or maybe they got a new name? Like Bretonians renamed Imperial Nobility...

Yeah catchers AV7 and 65K, pass on a 5 plus though. Blitzers 85K.

That one a lot easier to read.

 

[Ravers]

I also look forward to fouling the crap out of people with Halflings .

 

[FemurMuertez]

I bet brawler is a str or extraordinary skill that either prevents wrestle from being used against him or forces the player pushing him back to follow him.

EDIT: No, this just in. He may reroll a single both down result when taking a block. But not as a part of a blitz.

It lets you rr both down

 

[FemurMuertez]

Damned, you beat me to it.

 

[Coach]

Interesting skill, wonder what affect that will have on the amount of Block that gets taken.

Incoming Wrestle meta perhaps?

Weren't human catchers always AV7 in TT? I think they're only AV8 in Blood Bowl 2.

I imagine people will still take block, but means if it is a block vs block player and you get bothdown/bothdown or bothdown/push, you can reroll the bothdown to fish for a pow.

if black orc teams get 50k bribes and PO is not changed/removed from 16 to 20 Ed + less random mvp it will be a pretty good team I think

Yes. They previously weren't very good value. In BB2 they were increased to AV8, while in BB2016 the cost was reduced instead.

I was thinking that perhaps it may mean Guard and Mighty Blow take a priority, giving a slightly different approach to the bash game.

Guard will help maintain a strength advantage and help negate the low strength of the Goblins. Mighty Blow, cheap expendable Goblins with potentially cheap bribes means getting a numbers advantage as well.
