    Would you ever keep an armour 7+ player?

    So after a terrible start to the season, the fortunes of my elven union team started to improve and I was able to improve my catchers, even getting one MV 9, after what felt like forever.

    Inevitably, in the first game he played he got a head injury and his AV got knocked down to 7+, as did that of one of his catcher buddies, who has blodge.

    I think I probably need to fire them both, but thought the community might help me get over the hump about what has to be done.

    1. Is there any case for keeping these guys?
    2. Which order would you ditch them in? I only have enough gold for 1 new catcher to begin with.

    The other two catchers are one guy with blodge, and one guy with dodge and frenzy.

    Blood Bowl 7s Necro Team

    Just looking for some pointers on building my team. It’s the standard budget of 600k.

    I’m going with 3 zombie linesmen

    I feel like I wanna take two werewolves to get some frenzy pushes off the board, claws breaking through armour and for their speed they’d be my primary ball carriers, may buy a ghoul after game one, but I don’t think dodge is enough for me to take one.

    And now I can’t decide on flesh golem and wraiths. Golem I want for the strength punching factor, but I feel like despite not being able to handle the ball, the foul appearance and block would be a great choice, especially seeing I probably won’t have any rerolls.

    Different pitch sizes?

    Stupid question for a person getting back to Bloodbowl. Baron of Dice has mats with pitches on them, but there are options for "BB 11S(Core Rules)" "Dual Pitch(BB 11S and 7S)" and "BB 7S". What's the difference? Is BB 7S season seven on an outdated pitch?

    How do star players and teams work?

As confusing as the rule book can be I’ve managed except when it comes to a few things, how do the teams and races work are the imperial nobles classed as humans and there for can take any players and star players that a human team can take same with orcs or does it not work like that?

    BB2 isnt creating replays

    As stated in the title, whenever i play a match be that against AI or in a real league, no replays are saved in the Documents>Bloodbowl2>Profiles>[...]>replays. The only ones in there are dated back to 2020 when i played a few matches and left the game to rot.

    It's not a big deal but after 2 of my pre-season matches didnt register we had to do some workarounds with admins. Replays also help if you want a review or use a site to check dice luck so yeah, they are quite useful. Any help would be appreaciated.

    rules question - treeman dies in league play, can he be replaced?

    playing halflings with 2 treemen. 1 died last game. reading over the rules, it appears i can only hire journeyman for the lineman position. aka, no positionals can be rehired during league play because they aren't journeyman. so...am i just down a treeman for the rest of the season?

    Inducement help - first time vs Woodelves

    I’ve got my first game against wood elves coming up in my local league. I play Lizards.

    I currently have a Saurus MNG so I only have 11 players currently.

    2x chameleon 3x skink 5x Saurus (6 normally) 1x krox

    I have 110k in petty cash. I’m thinking of getting a mercenary Saurus. Just got the extra body and the S4. I feel that would add more value than say Akkhorne

    Any other better suggestions?

    TIA

    Lizard vs Rat

    I'm a new player in a league going up against a redrafted skaven team with 3 skilled up gutter runners(no rear ogre) with a fresh lizardmen team with 6 saurus(1 block) and skinks.

    1. I have played a couple practice games on bb3, marking dodgy teams feels not great but it is still the right play? Force them to roll dice.

    2. It looks like I'm going to have 150k inducements, I was thinking a keg and a bribe. Hoping to use my 1 journeyman skink to foul and attrition their linemen. Are there other recommendations for inducements?

    3. I am expecting a loss here, as this is my 3rd IRL game but any other pointers would be greatly appreciated.

    Hypnotic Gaze and regeneration

    Hey guys, quick question I can’t figure out. The Hypnotic Gaze trait cancels skills like Block and Dodge, but what about Regeneration? Does it cancel that too, or can you still use it while under the effects of Hypnotic Gaze? Thanks for the help!

    Bag for larger minis?

    Hey folks, just finished assembling a Deeproot and have realized how huge this things is. I have a giant coming too and thought— my god, these won’t even remotely fit in my normal bag. Anyone have a recommendation for how you transport larger miniatures?
