I think a lot of people will be happy about how easy Griff's eagle seems to not include. Seems a huge shame they haven't got positional names on the transfer sheet though. Especially given how the nobility team can be pretty confusing to work out who is who
Hey RandomSimpleMovies - you’re exactly right about the transfers! I’m hoping that the full team boxes will have the full sheet!? Because yeah 😂 Nobility needs it!!!
Hey Brad P! with the Goblins you get 2 heads for each of the three poses! Because of the way the minis are designed they'd take a bit of work to swapthem between poses though!
Quick question from a New player waiting for this set to release to be able to delve in .' why are thoses bases sloted if the players are to be glued on ?'
Argh, it’s because of the ball tokens - they have a little pole that goes into the small round hole at the front of the Blood Bowl bases. Most people cover this up when they paint etc, but I think for the “board game” effect GW went with these bases instead of the rounds!
Awesome review, very well detailed and displayed product overview, tx a bunch (you lucky git that got a copy early on) Quick question from a miniature newcomer though: what glue would u recommend to use to keep all the pieces of the models together when building them?
Hehe thanks DoubleM!! Ahhhh, ok, I use super glue - because I find it easier to break apart if I get stuff wrong, but for plastic miniature polystyrene cement (plastic glue) is really the right choice! It takes marginally longer to dry, but the plastic is welded together so it’s a much stronger bind!
Blergh, it’s because of the hole for the ball marker! Masking tape will cover the slot nicely, but I’m guessing they had a choice between rounds and slotted, and wanted the ball token to be able to a lot into the base (for the board game effect)!
Thank you Ben, nice video as usual ! Could you share a picture of the instructions for the Imperial Nobility ? I believe I haven't seen the instructions for the Noble Blitzers (thrower, bodyguard 1 & 2, and linemen 1-3 are visible in the video) I know that I could wait a few weeks to have mine, but no haha Thanks !
this helped me see what frame was for what because besides the colours showing different teams I had no idea what was what. I've made a few space marines and plague marines before so hopefully this isn't too, too tricky for me. Probably will have a lot of learning to do, will be fun
Hey Sami! Yes indeed, it’s got rules for 21 teams, and rules for 23 stars! Some of the old teams are missing, and a lot of the stars are... for now (here’s hoping 🤞)
@@BoneheadPodcast Okay thanks for checking. There will be so much more to come. I'm convinced High Elves, Chaos Dwarfs, Khemri, Norse and Vampires will make an appearance at some point. Not so sure about Amazons unfortunately but maybe in a new guise. Hoping for official Tzeentch, Slaanesh and Khorne eventually as well!
Yes DrunkenCameraBeard!! Orcs orcs orcs! To be fair both of these teams are kinda “a new way to play” adjusted versions of the last set!! They’ll both be great to learn!
Great vid. Disappointed about the height of the BOB's, but look beefier than 2016's BOB's so can't complain too much. Think i'll green stuff them a bit to make them taller.
I was just going to get the rule book before, but after seeing this I'm going to get the full box set. I just wish my old 2nd edition pitch was not destroyed years ago.
Love it, currently a question on Brawling. When a player performs a block action on it's own. (But not as part of the blitz action), this player may re-roll a single both down result. People are thinking this means you cannot use an assist while using this ability. Can you confirm?
“On its own” I read as throwaway text; it would say “unassisted” or “cannot use assists”! I’m sure it’ll get FAQd for clarity 🤞 but I definitely read that as the Block action is “on its own”, not the player!
@@BoneheadPodcast :D I got a pre order in this afternoon at my local shop. I was picking up some paints and I couldn't find anything blood bowl related at all. I just randomly asked why not and they lit up and told me they are about to get in everything GW will put out for blood bowl and they cant wait for it. looks like Ill be getting some league games in once things are allowed to re open 100% :D
Is the board the same sizes as the 2016 edition ones? I’m making a stadium I can put boards into but I want to double check it will work for season 2. Great unboxing. Thanks
@@BoneheadPodcast about that, are all the teams getting a revision or only the ones included in the starter set? Im leaning towards Skaven/Dwarves and I dont know if I should wait too
They’re all getting re-boxed (with a new box design and rules for the new edition), but I doubt we’ll see any resculpts of the teams already out for a long, long time! So you’re as safe as it gets with GW 😁👍 and because the rules for all the teams so far are in the rule book - you can get any team and it’ll be ready to go day 1!!
Just wondering if anyone else feels the same, but the quality of the board I don’t think it’s as good as the 2016 edition and also my book doesn’t seem as sturdy, maybe I’ve just got a doggy copy!
Hmmm, I didn't notice that actually James!! But to be entirely honest - I was so excited I'm not so sure I would've noticed if it has been on fire too!!
Hey Simon! Well, they’re not in the BB2020 rulebook, so we’re hoping that it means we’ll get a PDF like last time (teams of legend)! It’s still possible that they’ll release them with a Spike and new models 🤞 Chaos Dwarf, Amazon, Norse, Vampire, Khemri, and High Elf players are all hoping so anyway!!
@@BoneheadPodcast Chaos dwarfs are a shame too. Vampires I found were are hard team to play but I am sure that there were good ones out there. I think High Elves, Chaos Dwarfs will be gone for lore reasons to tie to AOS. Sad times for me I love my Amazon team
Yeah! All the teams add *something* to the game. If they don’t bring them back exactly - I think we’ll get spiritual successors like the Imperial Nobility (based on Bretonnians)!
I guess we shall see. I have seen at a few retailers that the logo for the box is white and not silver so that might be a special copy maybe. I have also heard of low stocks, my local gaming club/store has been allocated 1 box for example.
Hey Ben, your channel really inspires me and I've been wanting to start a TH-cam channel about Blood Bowl lore solely, and I want to start shooting as soon as I have the new book with the updated lore. I'm a little intimidated by it though, do you have any advises you could give me as an aspiring TH-camr content creator for this game? Thanks a lot for all you do, you guys rock it really hard 🙌🏼
This is making me want this even more!! I cant wait to get this box the black orks and even the Nobles are just beautiful pieces. I might just use the Nobles as humans since I dont have either team and call them the Pompous Pumpernickel's.
I'm disappointed that the most important 6 squares on the pitch are the hardest to see. I understand that it makes it looks cooler and may be easier to see but it's less playable.
@@BoneheadPodcast I guess it's just a pet peeve with the boards. I've got 3 or 4 different ones and they all have the same design issues. They are designed for style, not function.
I am super excited about this, thank you fot this sneak peak. Shame it didn't have that elusive PDF but if that is the only draw back I migh5 as shut up and carry on veing excited 😂😂😂
@@BoneheadPodcast it really looks fantastic and the wait is almost over, I am looking forward to getting to grips with the rule adjustments as well as, well just all of it; I feel worse than a child in my excitement for what is just a board game 🤷🏻♂️ my misses hopes it arrives quickly and it'll shut me up at last... That's love, that is! 😂

Step one, once I get my hands on this box, is yeeting the damn plumage on the nobility. The bodyguards can keep it or have a more subtle variant but, the linemen helm plumage has got to go!
For the love of Nuffle, on this his most holy day (11/11), please tell me there is an FAQ/CLARIFICATION sheet in there... hoping beyond hope for my TTM dreams to not be shattered.

Hahahahah thanks so much Skarfang!! We’re incredibly lucky that with the shop being closed due to the pandemic, Entoyment let us Demo their Demo copy!!

Hey RandomSimpleMovies - you’re exactly right about the transfers! I’m hoping that the full team boxes will have the full sheet!? Because yeah 😂 Nobility needs it!!!
That was also something that bothered me as soon as I saw the decalsheets
So if you get extra goblin heads can you kitbash them onto 2016 goblins or do you just get 6 heads but can be flexible on which model they go on.
Hey Brad P! with the Goblins you get 2 heads for each of the three poses! Because of the way the minis are designed they'd take a bit of work to swapthem between poses though!
Yep im definetly jealous with all the people who seem to have copies of this
20:30 i closed my eyes to emulate a cut :D
do the models feel fragile because they are hollow/have voids?
Thanks Ben. Keep up the fantastic work mate!
Always appreciate you PhotoReaction :D Thanks

@@BoneheadPodcast aight thanks, I'll make sure to order that together with the game tomorrow then
What's the deal with slotted bases, with the small hole in them as well? Is that a standard thing, or are they just temp. bases?
Blergh, it’s because of the hole for the ball marker! Masking tape will cover the slot nicely, but I’m guessing they had a choice between rounds and slotted, and wanted the ball token to be able to a lot into the base (for the board game effect)!
@@BoneheadPodcast The hole for the ball marker I get... but God forbid they make non-slotted bases with a hole. Or is that too much to hope for?
Hahaha, hey, it took them 78 years to release the Treeman... maybe the next generation of BB players will get appropriate bases 😂🤞
This is brilliant. So looking forward to the new box set
Thank you Ben, nice video as usual !

I believe the lineman 2 is the blitzer, according to the GW communication 🤔
Haha yeah! I forgot to mention that 😅 maybe we really *do* need that full set of base transfers haha!
I can’t wait to get ahold of this.

I can feel my wallet screaming in pain right now.
How much is the box?
I'm seeing it's 140 USD
Looking to be £85!!
So the box includes rules for most teams, what about star players and big guys?
Hey Sami! Yes indeed, it’s got rules for 21 teams, and rules for 23 stars!
Some of the old teams are missing, and a lot of the stars are... for now (here’s hoping 🤞)
@@BoneheadPodcast thanks for the quick reply, I'll have to get a box now :)
Fantastic! Thanks for the insights. Are there any rules for stadiums, sponsors and other bits that came with the second Death Zone book?
Not even rules for the astrogranite pitch!! (That I could see anyway)
So that means there’s plenty to home brew until we get some expansions!
@@BoneheadPodcast Okay thanks for checking. There will be so much more to come. I'm convinced High Elves, Chaos Dwarfs, Khemri, Norse and Vampires will make an appearance at some point.
