Start the game with WINEDEBUG=+loaddll (redirect the output to a file)
I've just attached output made adding this parameter. Indeed, I do use also native DLL. They are bundled with the game (including d3dx9_28.dll).

What command line do you use to launch game ?
I started the game from Steam, no specific command line was added. I also tried starting the game directly with 'wine Steam.exe -applaunch 58520' with the same result.
Sorry to insist, but isn't Blood Bowl *not* tagged as linux game in steam ? I tried to add my own game to my (Linux) Steam account, but steam didn't allowed me so (steam seems to need a .desktop file).
Now that I have BB EL patches installed, behavior somehow changed: I do splash screen for about 7 seconds, then I do not see anything for a minute or so (but I do here music and crowd sound from intro video) and then black screen until I left clic on mouse (I waited no more than 10s with black screen), at last game menu appears.
Have you tried waiting past first minutes after having launched game ?
I waited for about 5 minutes but the game just doesn't show up, only the main menu music is playing. The game has no visible window.
Another difference I see between our installation is that I use an AMD video card (not a NVidia one).
Well, I believe I am reaching my limits here… :-/ I installed game from scratch, but if I understand well this is not an option on your side (steam does not gives installation files).
As game runs on my computer feel free to ask for any further test I may do.
