Fortunately, now you have more money to spend on players and dice rolls. There is a roster option where you used to spend a big chunk of your money on the fanatic factor, so all dark elf teams used to go with 11 Linemen and 3 rerolls. I think that money is best saved, or get some more buffs. On the other hand, you have 10k in the bank and can turn a Linemen into a second Runner. The runner is perhaps a little less desirable, as you have the third dice roll, so you can save another 10,000 MO by switching to another lineman. This halves the number of players you have with the Block, so it needs careful consideration. If you want to have three dice rolls from the start, the change is quite pronounced, forcing you to drop from four to just two Blitzers. Giving up the runner means it’s harder or will take longer to get reroll and it will hurt more if the witch elf dies before you can get the apothecary. The Witch Elf, having dodge, also gives you slightly more reliable manoeuvrability when you only have a couple of dice rolls. The apothecary is the first purchase, as Witch Elves, like Runners, have fairly low armour.Īn alternative option is to swap the Runner and one of your Blitzers for another Lineman and a Witch Elf if you want the added threat that the Frenzy can bring to the team. Trying to save up for a new roll while also wanting to get an apothecary and your expensive Witch Elves means that any shortcut will help. They have the best armour available to Dark Elf teams, along with the Blitzer, both for protection and for hitting all those non-Blitzer starting players on other teams.Īlthough runners have little armour, they are the easiest way to get another dice roll in the form of a leader skill. Their players are all expensive, so teams like to start with all their Blitzers. This is probably the most common way to start with Dark Elves.

With a little luck I will be able to finish them by the time the new version of the game is released! This will also give me the opportunity to consider a paint scheme and team name. There are still a lot of team members to assemble and convert, but I am excited to continue to work on them. Two Dark Elf players facing off against each other! The Dark Elf models are surprisingly large, rivaling Primaris Space Marines. As I assemble more of the team members, I think I will make other subtle modifications to their dragonscale cloaks or gauntlets to further differentiate the duplicated sculpts in the team. I sculpted chin straps on the helmets to help keep them in place. The official helmets leave the lower half of the faces heavily exposed. Currently I have modified the helmets by adding additional plating around the jaw-line. I am planning to make each of the helmets unique, to help differentiate between team members. Thus far I have assembled two, and have only modified their helmets. Since the basic models are so strong, I decided I did not need to do much in the line of conversion work on them. Milliput works really well for sculpting smooth plates of armor, like the crescent plates I added to the sides of the blitzer’s helmet. The Blitzer model is probably my favorite of the set, the pose perfectly captures the brutality of Blood Bowl! Unlike a lot of the models Games Workshop releases, these do not have massively oversized feet! The team members are also adopting believable poses and none of them come off as awkward. All of the models in the team are very well proportioned and wearing sensible equipment (except for the witch elves) for the sport. The Dark Elf Blood Bowl team is one of my favorites teams Games Workshop has released. The main section of the helmet visor was sculpted using milliput, with finer details being done using a mixture of green stuff and Apoxie Sculpt. The only modifications I made to the model were adding some additional armor plating to her helmet. With that in mind, I decided to start assembling a Dark Elf team that had been sitting unused in my collection! Now that a second season was announced, we are preparing to get back into the game. In 2016, when Blood Bowl was released after many years being out of print, we got back into it again, and even started a small league which we never finished. Back in 2006, I got Bronze in the Open category in Golden Daemon Baltimore for a Norse blitzer. Of all the sports-themed games we have played, we always come back to Blood Bowl. Interestingly, our very first blog post was for Mantic Games’ Dreadball. We have never been large sports fans, but that has not stopped us from playing some miniature-based sports games.
