Veterans
The Veteran coach usually makes the right decisions. He grasped a strong positioning’s importance and his pitch control is harder to contest. His improved synchronism allows him to better optimize his remaining game time. His offensives alternate between cages and runs – often in a single game, and even during a single drive. His eyes are constantly on the watch for chain pushes opportunities without mastering complex sequences. He optimizes his team but still tries bizarre skills combos. The Veteran coaching level is a cool phase of tests and discoveries.
Attacking a Veteran’s defense is an adventure. Defending against his offensives is never already won. The Veteran coach has understood that what wins a blood bowl game is the cumulation of small advantages and that it is often enough to tip the balance in his favor even with some ordinary luck.

All About Blocks
There is something reassuring about rolling block dice to knock players down, break their armors and knock them off the pitch! However, this guilty pleasure can be elusive as sending many players into contact with the aim of rolling countless block dice usually has the opposite effect, i.e., the more blocks you want, the fewer
Getting Mauled: Black Orcs in BB2020
Hello. I’m the coach behind the infamous, thick-headed Gorn N’hleg. When I offered up to Taureau Amiral the idea of a chronicle written by the head coach of my new Black Orc team, my intention was to run the Bytown Maulers for a year and document what happened. Yes, there would be advice and tactics for fellow Blood Bowl enthusiasts, but it was as much (or more) a story about the most obtuse head coach imaginable and his gang of misfits. You might recognize my name as the author of the Up and Under web series that appears in this website. If you’ve come to love the story of the Mytilan Militantes, then you’ll know I’m a story-teller as much as a Blood Bowl coach.
New Tactical Considerations in Blood Bowl Second Season
It’s been a few months since Blood Bowl Second Season Edition was released, and yet as a result of the pandemic, many people are still only taking their first tentative steps into exploring the new rules and possibilities of the new edition. I think it’s fair to say we still don’t really know what the BB2020 tactical meta will look like. In this article, I’m going to take a look at three areas of the game that have received significant changes in the new edition, and give my thoughts on their tactical impact on the game.

Moving to Blood Bowl Second Season
This guide is for coaches moving from the Blood Bowl 2016 rules to the Blood Bowl Second Season rules. These will be referenced as BB2016 and BB2020 respectively. If you’ve just picked up Blood Bowl for the first time, this article may be interesting as a historical document. If you’re moving from BB2016, then it should allow you to adapt to the ruleset more smoothly. I’ll try and draw attention to the significant changes, but will often say “Check the rules” if the change is huge.
Letting go of “Your” luck
Is there a deeper question than: “What do you really want?” When it is their turn to play, I often hear coaches say they do not have the faintest idea what to do. So, I ask them: “What would you enjoy?” Well, interestingly enough, the answer that comes up most often is: “I’d like to
Black Orcs – The Pedda Theory
I’d like to caveat this article with this being my initial thoughts on black orcs from a tournament perspective without really having played them. Don’t take this as gospel, but rather a point of view, which may or may not prove to be true once we’re able to play tabletop games again. Why did I write this article? Well, I’m interested in hearing the thoughts on this new team from others and to start the discussion, I’ll share mine first.
Year of the ‘Fling
On September 11th 2019, with more than a little bit of goading from the Two Drunk Flings and Friends crew, I set out on a Blood Bowl challenge; One Year, Only Halflings in all variants of the game. The challenge is set by the Fling Nation group of coaches. Often found bouncing around the lower to mid tables at virtually any tournament setting, the Fling Nation is dedicated to playing Halflings and encouraging others to do the same. Completing a full year of playing only Haflings gains the coach the “Chef’s Hat of Devotion”.
Pulling Off a Long Feint
SNEAKY TACTICS – PART 2 A long feint aims to goad your opponent’s screening players and mobile resources into contesting or stopping (dead) your ball carrier on a flank. As soon as your opponent compromises enough players and player skills on your feint, you then swiftly change the ball of flank. Contrary to a small
