Do you idiots have any idea what your doing to the Games Workshop reputation. I have just found out you threatened legal action against talkbloodbowl.com which has been promoting Blood Bowl for more than 9 years. People within the Blood Bowl community are up in arms about this and its another body blow to GW. When someone is promoting your games for FREE and inspiring people to play your games it seems like the most STUPID thing in the world to stop them. This guy loved this game so much he'd ran a website of his own back and made it a focal point for blood bowl fans every where. Bet the prat who started this from your end doesnt even play GW games & doesn't understand the hobby. I understand that talkbloodbowl.com is now closing down and you idiots owe an apology to blood bowl fans everywhere. Yours faithfully Pissed off blood bowl fan We better change the name of our blood bowl league to Bristols ultimate american football/fantasy based table top game with monsters league (or for short - BUA/FBTTGWM). just incase GW legal comes after us.

As it is GW lost control of the blood bowl market a long time ago. More miniature are made by non-GW companies than not and spin off games are a dime a dozen (all of them are blood bowl, but just called something different). Silly silly GW

These C&D orders are all coming from GW legal which actually is a single lawyer and her assistent doing all this damage to ourgood game! There's a profile on her somewhere if you hunt for lawyer and games workshop on google! Right annoying how one kind womean is killing the fan sites! Once she has finished with blood bowl. What's to say 40k sites and WHFB are next?
