Alright,
In the previous thread about this subject, we've been speculating about the what and how of this upcoming novel. It now seems to be a series about a character in the bloodbowl world itself (something like the current Necromunda series).

Bloodbowl
Dunk Hoffnung’s life is going nowhere fast and being an adventurer is definitely not all it’s cracked up to be. The pay is terrible, the conditions harsh and the only people you meet are generally monsters and they’re more nterested in eating your flesh than sitting down and sharing their feelings…

When sports agent Slick Fullbelly spots Dunk bringing down a Chimera with a spear from a hundred paces, he’s sure that his search is over. Slick works for the Bad Bay Hackers, and they need a new thrower. Dunk is about to be plunged headfirst into the insane world of Blood Bowl, the fastest, meanest sport in this dark and brutal fantasy world. Dunk puts down his sword and steps off the battlefield...

...onto the football field.

Blood Bowl: Dead Ball
Dunk Hoffnung and the Bad Bay hackers are back, but now they'll have to survive the goblin leagues!

Although I expected some kind of background back into the world of Bloodbowl, like for example the old bloodbowl rulebooks or the Skaven and their Vile Kin book, it has turned out to become a fluff novel. Not a bad thing in the end, although I have to say that it did dissapoint me a little... I hope to see a background into the world of bloodbowl, revised from the fluff out of the 2nd and 3rd ed. bloodbowl (which is already a year or six old). Though I'm intend on buying the book since the author is said to be a talent and any promotion for bloodbowl fluff is great!

For those who are going to buy the book as well, or those whom have already read it: opinions and/ or comments are highly appreciated.

I thought Blood Bowl was excellent. Unfortunatly there were quite a few typos, and it seemed very slightly novicely written.

But a great book nonetheless, and has sparked me to dig out my blood bowl boxed set and play again!!

Anybody got any suggestions as to how i could model Blaque and Whyte?

Thoroughly recommended, expecially if you like the game blood bowl.
