Blood Bowl DE team

Wondering why they try to get rid of old collections of DE, Chaos Dwarfs and Chaos:
- to leave room for new ones?
- to drop these teams from the game?

Becoming a little nervous so see Chaos Dwarfs and DE having same treatment.

Maybe because it muddies the water with AoS? Or possibly because they've seen the sales for the add-ons for BB and are just playing it cautiously based on how well that extra stuff is selling.

Or maybe because their production methods have changed drastically over 20 years, they can only do it for a short period...and it isn't worth designing whole new teams.

(And nervous? You should have tried owning a Chaos Dwarf army !lol!)

The models are made to order. What I think happened is that they noticed the success of re-manufacturing some old models and kits for a one-off sale. As such...
Besides, it boosts the teams available for a game that's been growing very quickly in popularity.

If it is to mean anything about the future of the DarkElves, then I would deduce that Dark Elves won't get their own team the way Dwarfs did, or not anytime soon. I wouldn't be too worried about it though. If you want Dark Elves in BB, go get the team! Simple as that :)
It's now a supported team.

What Daeron said +1

I'd just add that there are magnificent third party dark elves teams to buy on the market.

Sukubus Studio, Gaspez, Black Scorpion, Greebo (WIP), and many more!
