One question you might be asking yourself is if you really NEED to buy any other these pitches. In short, exactly what you might picture from Orcs. The snowman on the Human side is your stand fare, while its twin on the Orc side might be more what you would call an “evil twin.” The Christmas tree is also nothing more than dead branches. The Orc side of the pitch is similar to the Human side, but a little darker in tone. Having read through the pitch flipping rules several more times, I feel like they could have been worded much better. *It was pointed out that I originally misread the pitch rules. You randomly pick which side of the board you start with and at the end of each drive, you simply roll a D6 and on a 4, 5, or 6 the pitch is flipped over.* Luckily, the Weather Table isn’t usually rolled that often once you have started the game. An interesting idea, but that MIGHT be irritating if you JUST set up both sides for a kick-off. Basically, you randomly pick which side of the board you start with, and then each time you would normally roll on the Weather Table, you roll a D6 and on a 4, 5, or 6, you flip the pitch over to the other side. The premise is that the Elven Union pitch is located in an area with so much magic flying around that it causes sudden and random weather changes. The two sides of the pitch are worked into the special rules in an interesting way. As previously mentioned, the Elven Union pitch has a “normal” side as well as a frozen side. It seems they have learned from their mistakes because as of this writing, all three pitches are still in stock on the Games Workshop website.įirst up is the Elven Union pitch. By all reports, Games Workshop was completely unprepared for the popularity of the Blood Bowl relaunch last year. The third pitch is a re-release of the Blood on the Snow Human/Orc Christmas themed pitch that sold out in about two seconds last Holiday Season. The Elven Union pitch has a standard side, and a frozen side while the Goblin pitch’s second side is flooded Like all previous pitches in the current edition, both of the new pitches are double-sided, but unlike their predecessors each pitch is themed to only a single team. So, this past Saturday Games Workshop gave us two brand new pitches, and one re-issue of a pitch that was only briefly available last Holiday Season. Did I really NEED three more pitches for Blood Bowl? Of course not, but it’s not like I WASN’T going to buy pretty much anything that Games Workshop released for Blood Bowl. ![]() Today, we break open all three new pitches (OK, so one of them isn’t EXACTLY new) that hit stores shelves in the last few days. ![]() In yesterday’s post, we took a look at the new Elven Union team and the accompanying Elven Union dice set.
