Forge World just released some new Blood Bowl Miniatures and team combos. Come take a look at the latest pre-order items!
GRIFF OBERWALD £18
Description
Oberwald’s qualities are those of the classic Blood Bowl hero. He’s tall, superfit and strong, with a grace and co-ordination that can leave most other players standing. Instantly recognisable across a murky Blood Bowl field by the splattering of gore across his kit, Oberwald cuts a very dashing figure and it’s no surprise the girls go wild when he has the ball in his capable hands.
The very peak of square-jawed, sculpted manliness, the world-famous Griff Oberwald and his excellent quiff can be added to any Human Blood Bowl team. He’s clad in just enough armour to protect his vitals, while leaving him free to run as quickly as possible, and his sneering face (covered with a helmet or not; your choice) and knuckledusters show he definitely means business on the pitch. Rules for fielding Griff Oberwald are found as a Star Player card in the Blood Bowl boxed games, as well as in Blood Bowl Death Zone Season One.
This resin kit comprises 6 components, and includes 2 32mm round bases, one featuring a hole to slot a ball into, indicating possession of the ball in your games of Blood Bowl.
RAT OGRE £20
Description
When Skaven teams want to add a bit of punch to their line-up, the most popular option is to recruit a Rat Ogre. Created through an unholy combination of selective breeding, dark sorcery and warpstone-enhanced surgery, these monstrous brutes stand twice the height of their team-mates. Their crushing fists, razor-sharp fangs and single-minded devotion to slaughtering anything that isn’t wearing their team’s colours make them a real asset on the pitch.
Coaches should be warned that training a rat ogre to pick up a ball is unlikely to go well, and indeed, getting one to do anything other than rip opposing players to shreds is always going to be a challenge. But then, that’s what the rest of the team’s for, right?
Field the Rat Ogre as a Big Guy for any Skaven team with this resin kit. Bursting out of his armour, muscular frame covered in raised welts and gashes, this is a miniature that truly means business; from his eager claws to the sharp blades tied haphazardly to his tail. His rules are available in Blood Bowl Death Zone Season One.
The 9-component resin kit includes 2 32mm round bases, one featuring a hole to slot a ball into, indicating possession of the ball in your games of Blood Bowl.
THE ALL STAR REIKLAND REAVERS £56
Description
Some judicious transfer decisions, helped by the impressively deep pockets of original owner DD Griswell Snr., have seen the Reikland Reavers rise to the top during their long life.
A particularly great example of that transfer genius has seen two splendid Star Players, Griff Oberwald and The Mighty Zug, retained by the team and fielded whenever possible.
In this bundle, you’ll receive the plastic Reikland Reavers Blood Bowl team – made up of 2 Blitzers, 2 Throwers, 2 Catchers and 6 Linemen, and a roster sheet – and 2 resin Star Players: Griff Oberwald and The Mighty Zug. Rules for the Star Players are found in the Blood Bowl boxed game and Death Zone Season One, and this bundle includes the 32mm round bases necessary for all models.
BLOOD BOWL STAR PLAYER COLLECTION £74
Description
Collecting together four splendid Blood Bowl Star Player releases, this bundle is a quick and easy way to pick up these legends of the pitch.
Morg ‘N’ Thorg, the hulking Ogre Blocker who’s willing to play for any team (as long as they’re not Undead…), is a cheerfully brutish miniature covered in vicious spikes. He comes in 7 resin components.
Varag Ghoul-Chewer, the strangely thoughtful Blitzer who can be added to any Orc army, is an especially mean-looking chap clutching a Squig and covered in chunky armour. He comes in 10 resin components.
The Mighty Zug, legendary Human Star Player, is a hefty chunk of meaty strength, with his brutish demeanour and enormous arms. He comes in 7 resin components.
Griff Oberwald, ruggedly handsome and devastatingly quick Human Star Player, comes in 6 resin components
