Another Bordeleaux, Nathaniel, and make it snappy. Three bodyguards will deduct 270,000 gold pieces from your budget. After that time, because I cannot fathom an Imperial Nobility losing to any other race, you should have enough gold pieces to purchase your fourth Bodyguard. Three Bodyguards will be fine for the first few games. To address the Squig in the room- the critical reason why we cannot afford four Bodyguards will become apparent when we talk about Team Training. However, on a shoestring budget of 1,000,000 gold pieces, we may not be able to buy all four positions. Although they are not nobles, our Bodyguards are extremely important in protecting our investments! Bodyguards will be key in turning a draw into a win or a loss into a draw, thanks to their tremendous devotion to duty by protecting the stars of the game – the Throwers and Blitzers. ![]() We have now purchased all of our nobility (unless someone’s father wants him to climb the ranks as a retainer first). One Thrower and two Blitzers should set you back 285,000 gold pieces. Quickly, Nathaniel, I haven’t got all day to dictate and drink! Nathaniel, fill my glass please, and hand me a new tunic. Oh, great, I spilled a little on my ruffles. In fact, you should allow one Thrower to develop until his leadership is beyond reproach, and then, should your tactics demand, purchase another Thrower at a later date. The Thrower is in a unique position of confidence and ego and having two Throwers on a starting team may not be required. While it will always be the case to purchase two Blitzers, two Throwers may not be needed. This means it is important to field the right men in the right number of positions. Because noblemen have been brought up better than everyone else, they may have quirks that do not mesh well with others in their station. Now – most teams will employ as many nobles on their team as they can. What’s that? Ah, I call you “Nathaniel” because “Nate” sounds too, I don’t know- barbaric? Speaking of which- Nathaniel, pour me another glass of Bordeleaux would you? How about the Bordeleaux 2356 this time? The last two glasses of 2402 went down too smoothly. Imperial Nobility teams are more like a fine Bordeleaux, like this 2402- thoughtful, intricate, and cocky. Those teams will also drink any swill, Bloodweiser for example, until they have most thoroughly poisoned their wits. Other teams in Blood Bowl have no care in the world for team dynamics. Mmmm, 2402 was a good year for Bordeleaux. However, we can’t just throw our money away without thought first – we aren’t Black Orc simpletons! Before we make the actual purchases, we need to think about team dynamics and cohesion. If you haven’t heard, in order to win, you have to score more than the other team. These positions are most integral to success because they will yield the most touchdowns. ![]() When given a budget of a measly 1,000,000 gold pieces, we must first look into purchasing our more noble positions – Throwers and Blitzers. This holds true for the Imperial Nobility. That makes perfect sense as those of nobility are better accustomed to glory and accolades. In my travels and associations with the Bretonnian Blood Bowl Leagues, the most successful teams utilized their nobles early and often. And what other way to discuss these matters than with a nice Bordeleaux 2402? It is indeed the brilliance of my wine that pairs wonderfully with the brilliance of my mind. I will try to keep it simple for those who may not have the intelligence or business acumen that is most needed for this process. Having been presented with the title of Head Coach for the River City Gunners, it has been requested of me to record the insights into my purchasing decisions.
