Blood Bowl: Dark Elves for Free

Post by Shir'le E. Illios »

Alright, so it's not a roleplaying game and it's not the good-hearted* drow of Dungeons & Dragons. But Warhammer's Druchii also hold a warm (or rather 'cold') place in my heart.

And now it seems that they'll be added to the [url=http://www.bloodbowl-game.com/:1aj7r6yf]Blood Bowl[/url:1aj7r6yf] strategy football game as free downloadable content.

I love it how [url=http://kotaku.com/5388616/free-dark-elv ... l:1aj7r6yf]Kotaku[/url:1aj7r6yf] puts it: "I don't know how the game survived without the Dark Elves in the first place. Not sure how the other teams will survive once they're included." :devil:

On the other hand; when I played the board game version I recall my dark elf team getting seriously wiped by my friend's dwarf team. I think half my team actually died (which generally isn't supposed to be [i:1aj7r6yf]that[/i:1aj7r6yf] common). :oops:

Wow, how it all evolved. I recall playing sometime when I was very young a board game called Troll Football. It was excellent fun. But I have to agree, the Warhammer Dark Elves were there for me before I heard about the drow, and they have continued to be an inspiration. I even have somewhere my old miniatures, but though I never did play Dark Elves I have some of them and wanted to raise a Druchi army. They had the coolest design in the new edition, based upon which the whole design of Heroes V was. Oh, the beauty of the sorceresses and witches...

From what I've had chance to observe, playing a Dark Elf host is very difficult and requires lots of skill.
