Rookie Big Guys Rules

All Big guys are allowed strength skills only, with the exception of the Minotaur and the Rat Ogre who can have physical skills as well.

The rolling of doubles applies as normal.

NOTE 1

There is no special rule concerning the maximum number of Rookie Big Guys per team on the flyer. Our opinion would be that the limit of no more than 4 READY MADE STAR PLAYERS (Death Zone, page 6) should be applied to them, too. So, now it would be: "No more than 4 READY MADE STAR PLAYERS or ROOKIE BIG GUYS can be in one team at any given time."

NOTE 2

The Star Player Update II has pictures of Cheerleaders and Referees for the game. These are the same as in the GWUK RED Catalogue.

NOTE 3

There used to be a special Blood Bowl Treeman which was also cheaper than the Marauder Treemen. He is pictured in the GWUK RED Catalogue. Don't know if he's still available, though.


Prices

All the Star Players featured are available from Games Workshop (UK) Mail Order (only!) for £1.15 each. All stock subject to availability, we're told. Costs for the Rookie Big Guys range from:

£2.99Ogres 1-3
