So funny story, I only ever got to play one match of Cyanide Blood Bowl against goons, specifically against GNU Order (I think? It was in early 2013). It was my Lizards against his Humans, and I lost so bad my PC died loading the after-match screen, and I never managed to fix it. That's Blood Bowl~~

On the one hand beating somebody so badly it causes their computer to explode sounds like something I'd do, but on the other hand playing Humans doesn't. So, the jury's still out on this one

Yeah, they mention that the best thing for Khemri do to is cage, when I find that screening works way better. Leads to some hilarious situations where the only option for people defending is to -2db blitz a Tomb Guardian to prevent me from running down the field.

Agent355
Jul 26, 2011


My khemri strat is more in line with commatoes, I want my tombguardians relatively free to keep screening and annoying key players while I cage with weaker players. Sure a 4 TG cage may be nigh impenetrable, but you have a real hard time moving anywhere and it's easy to go all 8 turns without scoring.

I stole something that would make me fabulously wealthy...

But I eated it.
To be fair, I do kinda harp on the fact that super-slow caging is really bad when you only have 5 turns to score and your ball carrier is AG1 MA4.

Khemri are a team that cannot afford to be stuck in the mud, and this first half was a perfect example of how *not* to Khemri. As Agent355 said, the Tomb Guardian cage is a immobile as it is impenetrable- a cage that moves 5 spaces in 5 turns doesn't get the job done.

That said, Khemri are kinda like Tic-tac-toe. The only winning strategy is not to play them.

Tomb Guardians are the best at dodging. Also at picking up the ball.

Also at intercepting passes.

I feel I might have a fun one. My two brothers were playing a game, Orcs versus Humans, it was the last few turns of the last half, One all, and my second brother had his Orcs sitting pretty much in close proximity to my First Brother's touchdown zone with the ball and only a single Human Thrower nearby to contest it. So to get some extra SP for his players, he decides to make an easy hand off, to his Thrower. Completely flubbs it, drops the ball.

The Human Thrower runs up, picks up the ball, and at the time, there was a catcher down the other end of the field, the Thrower straight up Hail Marys that poo poo down the entire length of the pitch, on a 6, and then the ball somehow bounced to the Catcher. He catches it, and touched it down for a 2-1 win.

Sometimes, Bloodbowl refuses to let you roll better than a 1.

Sometimes, it gives you all the 6s you could use and then some.

I didn't realize so many people were so opinionated about Khemri. Well here's the second half! I'm putting it up a bit early just so we have some more content and we can keep the ball rolling here.




Final Score - Me 1-1 Flare

My Thoughts - Sometimes it only takes one turn to lose total control over a match. Sure I made an ill-advised move or two, but in my defense punching people is more fun than not punching people.

Voting - After every match you get a bit of cash for playing. It's a d6 roll where higher = more money. The winner of the match (in this case there wasn't one) gets to reroll the winnings roll and take the second result if they're not happy with the first one. In this case we hit the jackpot and rolled a 6, netting us 70k in earnings. After every match there's always going to be the opportunity to buy something. In this case, our possible options are

1. Buy a 2nd Ghoul (ill advised because one of the options is way better)
2. Buy a 6th Zombie (even worse than buying a 2nd Ghoul, still ill advised)
3. Save up our money for either the 2nd Werewolf (THIS IS THE OPTION THAT LITERALLY EVERYBODY SHOULD BE IN FAVOR FOR) or a 4th reroll (which we will probably never need or go for)

I already know that the final vote is going to be for #3 - Save Up Our Earnings but since this isn't my team to run, I have to put it up to vote.

What do we do with our money?
