What a load of balls...
I've been using the same plastic Blood Bowl balls for a few years now and one thing that used to annoy me was that they were too dark to see sometimes. Just when I'm ready for my players to kick off, the brown ball is nearly invisible on the game board, especially if it's gotten hidden behind some dice. I had a stack of Shadowforge and Heresy footballs that I'd never painted as well as a couple of spare GW plastic balls - so I painted all of them this morning to ensure I had enough for tomorrow's Bunker Bowl tournament. These are all a nice bright orange colour so they look similar to basketballs.
