GOUGED EYE DOOMBOWL STADIUM – NEOPRENE PITCH £40
Description
Covered in ruts, ditches, debris and, well, gouges, the Doom Bowl is notorious as the place where many a plucky Blood Bowl team’s dreams have been stomped flat by a roaring line of belligerent orcs. Those who have survived the baleful gaze of the eye placed in the centre are often permanently changed by the experience – it’s a brave player indeed who returns to this pitch.

REIKLAND REAVERS OLDBOWL STADIUM – NEOPRENE PITCH £40
Description
Not exactly forgiving when it comes to those Blood Bowl players smashed and ground against it, the astrogranite floor of the Reikland Reavers Oldbowl bears the scars – and bits of skin and teeth – you’d expect from a legendary stadium that has seen hundreds of matches played by thousands of bloodthirsty veterans. The ones who survived without being turned into indistinct red smears by their opponents dream of returning to play before the notably boisterous crowd once more.

BARD THE BOWMAN’S FAMILY: BAIN, SIGRID AND TILDA £15
Description
Like his father, Bain is a descendant of the noble lords of Dale. Brave and loyal, Bain will stop at nothing to protect his family, even going as far as to join his father in facing Smaug™ atop the burning roofs of Lake-town. Although young and inexperienced, Bain proves to be a capable fighter, taking up arms to protect his sisters from the battle raging through the streets of Dale.
Sigrid and Tilda are the daughters of Bard. Young and unaccustomed to matters of warfare, they have no place on a battlefield. As The Battle of the Five Armies rages on, both are placed in great peril. Their presence spurring on both Bard and Bain to acts of great heroism and courage in order to protect the two young girls from harm.
This multi-part resin kit contains the components necessary to build Bain, Sigrid and Tilda, three models who can be fielded alongside Bard the Bowman in order to add courage and motivate him to fight ever harder. Bain comes armed with a sword and armour, while Sigrid and Tilda are unarmed; the latter two models, if slain, cause Bard to automatically pass all Courage tests and do everything in his power to kill the model who slew them.
The three models come as 10 components, and are supplied with 3 25mm round bases. Rules can be found in The Hobbit: Motion Picture Trilogy™: There And Back Again.

It’s got 2 resin turn markers and 2 resin coins, depicting the warpstone infused goodness the Denizens are notorious for.
