Dark or the light? High elves and Dark Elves in Blood bowl


So after a week off in Tenerife time to get back to blood bowl.

Focus on this week Is two very similar teams and two Warhammer fantasy adversaries. No idea if these guys exist anymore! But in fantasy they were the bitterest of enemies.

Of course, in the Blood bowl universe this matchup is simply the blood bowl version of Arsenal vs Tottenham…. I wonder if Malekith watches from the stands with Tyrion and Teclis? Now wandering what all the thousands of years of bother was about? Perhaps a wager or something?

So which are you light or dark? Well that’s see…

Skaven and Goblins: A story of teeth and secret weapons

In Warhammer fantasy the bane of Dwarves was the hordes of Skaven and Goblins who took over their holds. (I dunno what’s happening in age of sigmar so don’t quiz me on that!). In Bloodbowl, Skaven and Goblins have united to form possibly the weirdest team and individually they have been fan favourites since the game began.

These teams all are a massive departure on the chaos team I reviewed last week which is certainly suited to violence. These teams are tricksy requires a bit of guile and a bit of cheating to be able to claim victory. (When I say cheating I mean secret weapons!)

They are very fragile (As Alex Randell should know!) but are very fun to use.

Chaos! A team of Claws and tentacles!


In the fantasy of Blood bowl, every faction of the old and new worlds gave up war. Orcs and dwarves fought on the blood bowl pitch rather than on battlefields. What’s more Nuffle became the greatest religion.

The chaos armies and the chaos gods also became obsessed with blood bowl. That is essentially why the reality wasn’t destroyed by chaos. As ridiculous as this alternate Warhammer reality is Chaos are a great team and has 3 variants and as time goes on id imagine Games workshop will add more.

However, all these teams are difficult to use and are low tiered teams well why is this?
