A good show. I am glad to here the pc game is coming to the 360 since my pc is almost always in use when I have free time by my wife and her multiple blogs.
I liked the play style description. I think I have essential always been running the short game whether I am playing undead, lizardman, or skaven recently. Definately need to be thinking more ahead during games.

Great show again !
With lizardmen, i like to use the caging strategy by going on the sides : as you said it’s easier to defend (and Saurii are perfect for the job). My ball-holding skink just need to run through the corridor up to the end zone …
I would to get some advice about kick off formations but i think it wouldn’t be easy on Podcast though … Or about some good skills combo : i heard that block/dodge (or “blodge”) and claw/mighty blow are good …

If you want to know why Cyanide got to make blood bowl google Chaos League! Basically they made a real time blood bowl game without having a license to the IP, and somehow they came to an agreement with GW to actually make a blood bowl game. You know, instead of getting sueued into dust. Also, have you seen http://www.bloodbowldigital.com/? Basically a lot of interesting work taking apart the game and trying to make it better, new models and skins for teams, they also found that Dark Elves are in the game’s database, there just aren’t the models for them, but with a bit of hacking around you can use another team’s models and play a Dark Elf team. Someone’s also put out a script that can put a Norse team into the game (once again, without models) so in theory people could put all the other teams in.. I don’t know if they’re usable in multiplayer though!
