So I was wandering around the BoLS site and I keep seeing that ad right up at the top for BFG. Well today I noticed for the first time that they have an online store that is offering 25% off GW prices. So I clicked on the link and wondered around a bit. One of the first things I noticed was a link that said "Darkwynn's Imperial Guard Leafblower" so I checked it out. If you don't know, Darkwynn won the 2009 'Ard Boys and the 2010 Adepticon Gladiator with this list. Its called a leafblower because it is designed to blow your opponent off the board first turn. You can find the actual list for 'Ard Boys here, not sure if it changed for Adepticon.

There is it. Yup.

Blood Bowl! Okay so I went ahead and purchased blood bowl. It's not terrible.. but it is frustrating..

I'm pretty sure each of us would play our respective races if we were all to play, as such I went ahead and picked Skaven.. (Yay rats!) And because I figured I'd enjoy it more, I decided to play the game in blitz turn based mode instead of in real time..

Holy crap its hard. I have played 6 turn based games at this point ( they are long ) and have tied 2 and lost the rest.. I thought I was going to get two other ties, but they ended up with the win after all.. I never ever came close to winning.. Not even remotely..

Each time I played it was either Humans or Dwarfs and let me tell ya.. they are harsh.. The Dwarfs were kicken my ass no matter what..

For grins, I played one final game vs Dwarfs in real time.. I murdered them.. I had 7 touch downs at the half. I'm not sure why the game plays so completely differently turn based vs real time.. It's pretty clear the AI wasn't written by the same guy or that something is wrong.. I don't know if "turn based easy" is broken or if "real time easy" is broken.. ones too hard, the others too easy..

Either way I'll probably keep playing turn based for a while until I'm just fed up with it.. If one of you guys wants to play we can probably start a league..

Ok this is totally not 40k related. But I've been a fan of this game series from way back. And this one looks freakin awesome. They appear to have really beefed up the tactical command interface for this incarnation, and the graphics look pretty spectacular. According to D2D it releases today.
