Of all the myriad selection of Elves in Blood Bowl, Dark Elves are most certainly the Darkest. And the spikiest. And the nakedest!

This week we’re diving into everything emo as we take a look at the Dark Elf roster. We’ll pull apart their positionals one by one for your aural pleasure. Or something.

We’ll also examine the star players Horkon Heartripper,  Ithaca Benoin, and Hubris Rakarth. (I know we say we’re not going to look at Ithaca, but we do really)

The skills we’re ogling at this week are Jump Up, Dump-Off, Shadowing (yesss!), and Stab.

And, you lucky lucky people, there’s another episode of BloodBlusters played live at the end, this time pitting Trumpkin versus Hung in a battle of enormous intellect! Well, enormous something anyway. Probably stupidity. Yeah, most definitely stupidity.

Ogres! What’s not to love! Up to six Strength 5 Mighty Blow players! Players that dodge everywhere on a 2+ with a reroll!

…there’s just the small matter of everyone either being Strength 1 or having Bonehead. And no one having access to General skills. And the list goes on and on… Join us as we get stuck into the Ogre team this week!

We also talk about Stand Firm and Side Step, and we’ll be comparing the various Negatraits that Big Guys tend to have. We also chat about Big Bertha, Brick’Farth and Grotty, and the man himself: Morg’n’Thorg!

Apart from that, we’ll be discussing the hot-of-the-press news about the new Blood Bowl stuff spotted at the Open Day at Warhammer World. There may even be a little mention of the NAF presidency election too.

To end it all, to celebrate our 10th episode, we have a brand-new game of our own that we’ll be playing live on air: BloodBlusters!

It was bound to come up sooner or later. Dwarfs (sigh) are the topic of discussion this week. (Don’t worry, we’ve all had our jabs) Not sure whether you should take Guard? Listen in! Unconvinced that Mighty Blow should be your next skill? Listen in!

We’re also talking about Tackle, Frenzy and Thick Skull, as well as star players Barik Farblast and Grim Ironjaw. There’s a little preamble about the local league we’re running as well as some more High Elf talk (again).

Can the team battle a storm of technical difficulties in order to provide the usual Top Quality* entertainment? Find out this week!

Hold on to your pants guys, because today we’re finally finally talking about High Elves, and why they’re not the worst elves. Also, why they are the worst elves. Watch how a simple, calm, rational discussion of these teams quickly degenerates into name calling and dares…

Not only that, we’ll take a brief look at the skills Accurate, Safe Throw, Diving Catch and Kick-off Return. Also, Prince Moranian, Dolfar Longstride and Soaren Hightower.

And that’s not all, we have an extra special guest! Mike Davies from the NAF is going to be joining us and having natter about the upcoming NAF presidential elections.

Due to yet more illness, we are Mattless today, and the schedule has been shunted back another week. But don’t fret! Instead of tackling one roster, we’re dissecting four this week to make up for it. The catch? Well, they ain’t exactly what you’d call official…

So, let us regale you with our unquestionable wisdom on the big three unofficial rosters, plus another one for funsies. We’ll look first at the foppish nobles of the Bretonnian team, followed by the monkey business that are the Simyan team. Thirdly we take an angry examination of the Khorne roster, before finishing with a little nosey at the double-unofficial Squig team.

Get ready for some weirdness, because these are some particularly peculiar rosters…

That’s right! It’s an out-of-schedule special! Merrick and I nipped down to Southampton last Sunday to compete in the Albion Coast Trophy, a one-dayer run by the brilliant Blocknroll. We both took stunties in an attempt to… well… we’re not sure. But we did it anyway!

This is the first episode in the Chronicle of The South-West Tournament Championship, in which we will record before, during and after the events themselves.

Heavy traffic and old cars means that the sound isn’t as clean and crisp as normal, but we guarantee* the content is as incredible*, informative* and pleasant* as normal.

Can Merrick maintain his grip on the coveted Stunty Cup? Or can stunty newcomer Trumpkin pip him at the post? Will Merrick fall asleep on the way back? Found out in this week’s Anything But A One!

Episode five looks at the NAF World Cup wot just happened in Italy. Specifically Dave’s experience, as Merrick is sadly too poorly to join in! Don’t worry, he’ll be back, that is once the poison he received in the daily barrel of hate mail wears off.

We also take a butcher’s hook at the news about the Specialist Games section of GW getting a reboot. After that about Online Blood Bowl League Manager (OBBLM), then finally about the Albion Coast Trophy (ACT), the upcoming one dayer that a couple of us are off to, so it’s the episode of the acronyms!

Episode four takes an in depth look at the powerful Undead team, from their cheap-yet-effective zombies and skeletons to their exemplary positionals. We also have a nosey at the skills Regeneration and Strip Ball (not Kick-Off Return that’s next week), and the Star Players Sinnedbad and Setekh.

This is also out pre-World Cup show, where we talk about what we expect and the rosters we’re podcast is taking. Unfortunately, I can’t promise there aren’t at least two more puns in the show itself. Also, don’t forget to give everyone Shadowing.

Episode three is our Exebowl Special. Three of the four of us went to Exebowl last Saturday, and in this episode we talk about the highs, the lows, the dirty rotten cheats, the glorious moments and the inglorious failures of the day. Spliced with recording made on the actual day and occasionally guest starring Glowworm, Buggrit and (very briefly) HairyPete himself. Oh, and a wasp.

Week Two brings us dangerously close to the little people of the Blood Bowl world. This week we’re examining the Halfling team: their strengths, weaknesses, how hard they are to play, more about their weaknesses…

We’ll also have a gander at Stunty, Titchy, Throw Team Mate and Strong Arm, plus we’ll natter about Puggy Baconbreath and Deeproot Strongbranch.

Plus we chat again about Exebowl, what we’re expecting and what we’re taking.
