One skill new players may want to look at picking is guard. It may be a bit complicated to explain, but it makes it easier for players to assist other players when they're blocking. For most players it requires a double on level up, so it can be tricky to get and you may not want to prioritise it for all players as there are a lot of other skills, each with their use.
I'd suggest Guard only for heavy bashy teams and then only on their frontliners (Black Orcs, Chaos Warriors, any big beef mother truckers who are going to get hit).
In case you're doing another one of these (which you alluded to in another video): it could use some structure, like: 1. Stats 2. Player roles 3. Team compositions 4. Overall strategies (playing for time, maximizing point gains, reroll usage 5. Skills 6. Gameplay examples
Myurridthaekish Nah, it doesn't feel like blood bowl unless you roll double attacker down and your Ork Blitzer is killed by a line rat. RIP Spinach th Ork
I never looked at builds. I just fiddled with the game until I found what I liked. Skaven probably my fave followed closely by wood elves since they can make a lot of fast plays and dodge a lot of tackle zones.
I know this is stupid to say after all this time, but... legendary edition? Makes this game even sweeter. All those extra races make this game that much more fun to master. I picked this up after playing Chaos Edition on and off for like 6 years and I'm looking forward to playing it.
TFAegislash 57 depends if you want the passing game or the bashing game. Skaven can handle the ball, so run like hell when you get it. Orcs have better armor than Skaven, if it's your first time it's the safe bet. Started with Skaven for blitzmania so had two died during the season.
Even though it's rare as hell, I feel like I see a death in a game about once every 3-4 games and every time I have or used my apothecary early a death happens every match.
I've learned so many bad habits from the campaign lol. I'm still afraid to play against humans because I've learned such shitty tips that I only have a 70% win rate against CPU
They should have given situational advice on the basics then had you play against a team that had a shit ton of upgrades. If you win learn as you play, if not give you a retardedly long wiki of how the game plays
YAY! BLOOD BOWL!!! Love this game. :) Anybody else think this game needs a "Timer Off" mode for private matches? I mean, I get for competitive and online play it is needed, but I have one helluva time teaching new players without using campaign mode, and sometimes me and my buddies like to chill between turns, maybe smoke one... The timer kills conversations, and makes this game REALLY antisocial... Can't talk while you are playing YOUR turn, and talking during your buddy's turn is practically cheating if you distract them for like more than 20 seconds....
Thanks for the guide man, I recently got back to the game (mainly because I've heard how shitty and greedy BB3 is). So I'm glad I've stumbled upon your content.
This is content. It's nearly as high quality as the non-content, but still no match! Nonetheless great guide! I don't own this game and I never saw any of this but I understood most of it in this video. Good Guide!
Ever roll straight 1's for an entire half trying to pick up the ball? That was my experience in the second game of the campaign. Really left a bad taste in my mouth
Please upload Blood Bowl again. Create a league or just upload random games, something. Watching you play it on stream is so much fun, bringing it back to your channel would be amazing
Muy buen video, como puedo subir de nivel spp a los jugadores de los equipos ya creados por la maquina ejm: Albion wonderers, cada vez que juego un partido de exhibicion no gangan spp, o coomo puedo jugar contra otros jugadores, NO con un equipo creado, sino con uno predeterminado asi como los orcos green gutskinners, SE PUEDE SUBIR EL NIVEL DE LOS JUGADORES Y EQUIPOS QUE VIENEN CON EL JUEGO? COMO LO HAGO?
Hello ! Do u know if it posible to see the classic dice?? Like the block ones? Thanks the game it's same like the table game , i just miss to see the clasic dice
I doubt anyone will respond since this is an old video. But in the off chance someone does. Can you tell me what the difference is in the Settings under General for the Log option. You can choose between Simple and Detailed, but I can't seem to spot the difference.
If I'd have to guess it'd be that if you have detailed you can see the exact dice rolls and their results. But I may just check. It's been a while since I played Blood Bowl.
Hey crendor I just bought bloodbowl 2 last week and I'm still new to it, maybe could you make a video about tactics to help me and other new players out?
Yannay Levi look up a UA-camr named cknoor, blood bowl is their primary game and they have a beginner's guide series. Most of the series is from blood bowl 1,but the rules are the same .
I really expected this to be a "Okay, first you do this and wait for the dice roll.. FUCK!... okay, then as an alternative, you try to do this and .... DAMNIT! Well, I guess you can try to... OH COME ON!" And then you go back to Legion
I've been playing the new season of the tabletop version in my local Games Workshop, using my Slaaneshi daemonettes models. Easier to change since they don't hold weapons like Nurgle Plaguebearers do
and after the experiences with the last youtuber league, I doubt he's going to be doing one like that again, it was hard to organise AND a lot of them flaked out part way through anyway (Dodger was infamous for being both shit at blood bowl AND had no interest in it so her matches were just awful to watch and not because she barely knew what she was doing, the commentary was awful too because she clearly wasn't having fun).
Their playstyles differ a bit. If you take a look at their roster they have access to different kinds of players. Just take a look yourself, but to summarise quickly: Undead are generally more sturdy thanks to their good Mummies (essentially Big Guys without Negative Traits), Necromantics are faster thanks to Werewolves, which are also very dangerous when developed.
Thanks Crendor, I have bought the game and I am really enjoying it! But I have to get used to the way american footbal is played since I am European and don't know anything about american football :D
crendor and strippin have a league going atm. lots of players. I bought bb2 with humble bundle.. just waiting on a key :/ then i'll jump right in and get slaughtered.
I would advice to get in a league, not a ladder. There you meet people and play for rank in a limited number of matches, like sports. Open ladders are a grind...
+Winters the main official blood bowl league is just fine if you don't mind ageing. Else I would go for the crendorian league which have ageing off...largest non ageing league out there. If you want to face off against crendor and strippin though you need to go to their league that they remake every 2-3 weeks. Cknoor used to have an invititional one with no ageing with some minor custom rules. All players needed to be non default named and if you suxed REALLY horrible your team could get kicked. Not sure if that is still active though.
He's already responded to that some time ago saying he won't be doing a youtuber Blood Bowl league (because several people were playing it as a 'favor for a friend' kind of deal and got bored about half way through, thus making for terrible games and watching) but he does stream blood bowl on twitch, so I'd recommend catching up on that.
always take apothecary in the beginning. Played lizardmen and in the first game 2 of my saurus warriors died on my first match. With armor 9 I thought I would be safe but no ... you never will be.
The campaign covers aot of the basics across find e or six games so it's not too much. Also the official guide is pretty handy at doing it little by little
Bloodbowl is the REAL FANTASY FOOTBALL
Re-rolls are half-price before you play a game, that's why its good to stock up on them when building your team.
R.I.P Morgdar. May we never forget what a good orc he was.
Quick note: The reason you get an apothecary after a game or two is if the team gets too injured you can just remake them
From someone that never played Blood Bowl 2 but wants to, this actually helped a lot understanding the game. Thanks Crendor.

I was so happy when you said "you're never gonna keep him down" lmao thank you
I like that you post content like this. It keeps your channel fresh. Keep up the good work :)
#freshlikemygroceries
No, we must keep the non-content flowing.
Well it can't ALL be throw away content :P
Why am I watching this video, I've played over 300 hours of Bloodbowl, I guess Crendor just does that.
QuatroXEspada is there a campaign
Those star ratings for team difficulty are sweet sweet lies.
I'm a new player, please tell me the easiest teams to play >,
Halfling
Ok real talk in my opinion it's the orcs since you have dedicated units for blocking and tackling and dedicated units for running the ball
@@TheRABIDdude Orcs
In case you're doing another one of these (which you alluded to in another video): it could use some structure, like:
1. Stats
2. Player roles
3. Team compositions
4. Overall strategies (playing for time, maximizing point gains, reroll usage
5. Skills
6. Gameplay examples
Up load your Blood Bowl games to youtube
I'm ready for UA-camr league season 3.
It never feels like blood bowl until half your skaven team is injured or koed by half time.
Myurridthaekish Nah, it doesn't feel like blood bowl unless you roll double attacker down and your Ork Blitzer is killed by a line rat. RIP Spinach th Ork
big guy tripple skull into a failed loner roll here and had his armour break and lose strength.
Never forget Morgdar
It was great seeing you at The NLSS last week, real fun to watch, keep up the funny commentary, it's a joy to watch :)
Need more bloodbowl videos like highlights from last stream or just tournaments
thanks for this video, picked the game up again the other day and am basically going in blind. this will really help!
Just purchased and wanted to play this since the board game came out when I was a kid. Thank you for this vid!

I was gonna but the regular edition until I saw this comment! Lizard men TIEM
"yay learnding" - Ralph Wiggum"
andddddd subbed.
When are we getting Glass Bones Greg IV?
tomorrow actally

Crendor is the best! Love the content and funnies man, see ya some time soon.
Awesome video Crendor, thanks for the tips
Just learning, thanks for the help bro 🙏🏻
Love said game
Even though it's rare as hell, I feel like I see a death in a game about once every 3-4 games and every time I have or used my apothecary early a death happens every match.
When do we get the Morgdar memorial cup?
13:21 cheeky reference here
A noob's guide to BB2: play the campaign
Seriously, that's pretty much it.
nope

The Adventures of Baron Von Hardcharger not until they give us back our team based cheerleaders!
What i really want is the special tactics cards. Dirty tricks etc. Makes inducements much more interesting.
Thanks for the Video, good the see after so many years out of the game
I just picked the
game up last week. This is exactly what I was hoping to get.
I really want to get into this game.
I just got this game and crendor is the only person I trust to teach me
I wouldn't mind seeing more blood bowl videos this was really cool
This is extremely helpful! Great stuff. Thank you!
Thanks for the guide man, I recently got back to the game (mainly because I've heard how shitty and greedy BB3 is). So I'm glad I've stumbled upon your content.
casualty dice work on a d68, as in a d6 for the tens and a d8 for the digits, 61-68 is death
This is content. It's nearly as high quality as the non-content, but still no match! Nonetheless great guide! I don't own this game and I never saw any of this but I understood most of it in this video. Good Guide!
thanks man. this is EXREAMLY helpfull.
FINALLY I'll be able to watch this video. Took me a few days.
I love bloodbowl 2. No, wait. I want to love bloodbowl 2. But the RNG hates me so hard.
Ever roll straight 1's for an entire half trying to pick up the ball? That was my experience in the second game of the campaign. Really left a bad taste in my mouth
I love Bretonnians. The ability Fend is underrated in my opinion.
Will buy this during the next steam sale
bout to fire it up for the first time , very keen

Really informative, thanks!
just bought the legendary edition for 5€...this is very helpful
Probably should've put the turn timer on 4 minutes instead of 2 :P
Hey Man, great video very helpful. The campaign doesn't really go into the levelling or the stat meanings
Hello ! Do u know if it posible to see the classic dice?? Like the block ones? Thanks the game it's same like the table game , i just miss to see the clasic dice
blood bowl is back baby!
yooo a FUMBBL callout, thought id never see the day
Thanks so much for this, it's super helpful!
Why do you keep calling attacks blocks? ex. 12:30
Because it’s still football so it’s considered a “block”. Even if the intention is to maim/kill the other player
#Neverforgetwhatshisname
Very well explained, much obliged!
Well this was educational.
You lost me at the point where I didn't need orc cheerleaders..
I'm coming here from Mordheim, and by god I'm still a lil overwhelmed.
I doubt anyone will respond since this is an old video. But in the off chance someone does. Can you tell me what the difference is in the Settings under General for the Log option. You can choose between Simple and Detailed, but I can't seem to spot the difference.

RIP Morgdar never forget
i really wanna play this, but any time is ee anything warhammer i have to play mordheim

Dope guide to Dope Bowl 2
Good video Crendor, 5/7 would praise Nurgle again
At of course derp. In my defence i had fallen to chaos at the time of writing feeling much better now, no heresy at all, all is fine here
Captain Cokecan ign hahah
anyone know what that 2 week league him and stripping are doing called?
This is like some weird combination of rugby and chess
you may wanna link ur 3 min vid if you gonna advertise it cause i cant find it
i clicked on this and wonderd why i was hearing crendor
Guys i wanna get into this game, but how? should I buy the legendary edition straight away? Or just the basic game?
MrDiamondism depends what teams look coolest to you and you want to play.
do you recommend us jumping into multiplayer or is playing vs ai a good way to start out
turtelking726 I know I'm late but the campaign is honestly the best place to start. :)
Crendawg, Packers/Falcons today, you gonna be on twitter to smack talk during the game
what league are you playin on now the old one has dissapeared :(
Crendor and Strippin start a new league every 2 weeks atm its called second time lucky
How good is the AI in this game? Is it possible to join leagues with others?
Are star players only for the campaign?
Holy shit. Someone made football for nerds. This is incredible.
I've been playing the new season of the tabletop version in my local Games Workshop, using my Slaaneshi daemonettes models. Easier to change since they don't hold weapons like Nurgle Plaguebearers do
You're my all time favorite youtuber! Keep up the good and funny work! :3
i demand a new league with crendor as commissioner
pumaxfusion crendor and strip already run a biweekly league
and after the experiences with the last youtuber league, I doubt he's going to be doing one like that again, it was hard to organise AND a lot of them flaked out part way through anyway (Dodger was infamous for being both shit at blood bowl AND had no interest in it so her matches were just awful to watch and not because she barely knew what she was doing, the commentary was awful too because she clearly wasn't having fun).
Warhammer fantasy needs Basketball, BloodDunk sounds great
I like how this tutorial had nothing to do with the football aspect of the game
I have a question (am new player don't judge me)
What are the differences between undead and necromantic?
Their playstyles differ a bit. If you take a look at their roster they have access to different kinds of players. Just take a look yourself, but to summarise quickly: Undead are generally more sturdy thanks to their good Mummies (essentially Big Guys without Negative Traits), Necromantics are faster thanks to Werewolves, which are also very dangerous when developed.
Still miss the crendorian invitational 😔
What happened to the Crendorian League?
Sai if you're talking about the UA-camr league, half the people didn't want to play anymore or they were too busy with other content.
Sai if you're talking about the UA-camr league, half the people didn't want to play anymore or they were too busy with other content.
Humans is my favorite fantasy race, imagine if they were real.
Thanks Crendor, I have bought the game and I am really enjoying it! But I have to get used to the way american footbal is played since I am European and don't know anything about american football :D
You don't need to know the rules of American footy for BB. I'm Australian and have no idea of the rules of Gridiron and find it totally boring.
How Do a player get New skills? Not like points but thing like blocking and stuff like that??
When they do certain stuff such as murder or touchdowns, they get some ssp points. Get enough, you level up and pick a skill
now i really want to play BB, shame i don't have anyone to play with.
If its the computergame you want to play and not tabletop, you should go join Strippin and Crendors BB2 league.
crendor and strippin have a league going atm. lots of players. I bought bb2 with humble bundle.. just waiting on a key :/ then i'll jump right in and get slaughtered.
I would advice to get in a league, not a ladder. There you meet people and play for rank in a limited number of matches, like sports. Open ladders are a grind...
I can recommend some leagues depending on your time zone and preferred language that are good.
+Winters the main official blood bowl league is just fine if you don't mind ageing. Else I would go for the crendorian league which have ageing off...largest non ageing league out there. If you want to face off against crendor and strippin though you need to go to their league that they remake every 2-3 weeks.
Cknoor used to have an invititional one with no ageing with some minor custom rules. All players needed to be non default named and if you suxed REALLY horrible your team could get kicked. Not sure if that is still active though.
The first team I ever scored with was the normal elves in blood bowl one and britonian in b2 I don’t know how I did this because I suck lol
Hi Guys, is the game at the current state fun/good for the single play?
I'm having fun single player. The AI can do some stupid moves, but it's okay for someone like me who's never played Blood Bowl before.
@@NecromanciPottamus Thanks, Man. Guess it'll suit me too.
Baught it to me and my brother cause of your BB videos :)
Part 2 please
The thing i dont know how to do is how to make gold ? It dosent cumulate so i can never higher as champion..
Can we get another blood bowl league plz?
He's already responded to that some time ago saying he won't be doing a youtuber Blood Bowl league (because several people were playing it as a 'favor for a friend' kind of deal and got bored about half way through, thus making for terrible games and watching) but he does stream blood bowl on twitch, so I'd recommend catching up on that.
is it possible to beat the AI on easy?
always take apothecary in the beginning. Played lizardmen and in the first game 2 of my saurus warriors died on my first match. With armor 9 I thought I would be safe but no ... you never will be.
