Episode 17 got a 'fast track' release.

In this episode we compare what we know from the Warhammer Community article on the new edition with the rumours from Episode 14.

We break down what we actually know, what we don't know yet, and what this will mean for the game (where that is clear at this stage).

Step by step, we go through specifics. From the miniatures and poses, through other things in the box, to the new and revised skills and traits, we stick to the facts (this time!).

We also interview James Luft - Tournament Organiser extraordinaire - with over 100 tournaments under his belt and the official organiser of GW US Blood Bowl events - and also the main organiser of Chaos Cup!

We also discuss tournaments on the calendar in Queensland (and elsewhere), hear about the roadtrip Wiltz and Babs went on while on it, and finish off hearing about Deathroll the Croc and how he will be used and how the Flagstaff Jailbird raffle is progressing.

In this episode, our guest commentator is none other than Matthew from Players to Nuffle.

We discuss the way to travel to Blood Bowl tournaments and why a road trip has a special place in both his and our hearts.

We also look at one of our own road trips - the Sunny Coast Slam - with three special snippets from that road trip.

We discuss the state of competitive Blood Bowl - is the 2-1 grind out win the best way to win in Blood Bowl?

We also have a quiz - "It's a Numbers Game" - especially prepared by Millsy.

This episode is a reciprocal episode with Players to Nuffle - the counterpart of which is found here:
