#10 GABRIEL ANGELOS, CHAPTER MASTER OF THE BLOOD RAVENS £45

GabrielAngelos01

Gabriel Angelos, Master of the Blood Ravens chapter of Space Marines, guides his brothers against the most dangerous enemies in the Galaxy. Uncompromising and honorable, Gabriel has little patience for those who would hesitate in battle.

Making a fantastic centrepiece for a Blood Ravens collection, this depiction of Gabriel Angelos, modelled after his appearance in the video game Warhammer 40,000: Dawn Of War III, is an HQ choice for Blood Ravens armies. His armour is resplendent with detail, with greaves covered in studs and skulls, a detailed cloak and plenty of chains, chapter markings and iconography to keep the painter busy; his scarred head glowers at the foe from underneath a spiked iron halo. He wields the intimidatingly-named God-Splitter Daemonhammer, and stands atop a rubble-strewn 60mm scenic base – this depicts a blasted rocky outcrop, and features a shattered piece of Ork armour, no doubt victim of the aforementioned Daemonhammer.

The kit comes as 7 components, and is presented in a Character Series box – there is also included a 40mm round gaming base, which can be removed from the scenic base for ease of use on the gaming table. Rules for Gabriel Angelos in games of Warhammer 40,000 are available as a PDF download.

#7 GOBLIN SECRET WEAPONS £20

BBGoblinSecretWeapons07

Description

There is a long, messy history of Blood Bowl teams sneaking weapons onto the pitch, but few do it with such regularity (not to mention unapologetic brazenness) as Goblins. With very few exceptions, Goblin teams tend to have ready access to a well-stocked arsenal of unusual equipment at their disposal, most of which is hilariously deadly. Some weapons (like the ball and chain) have their roots in wider Goblin culture, while others (such as the fan-favourite chainsaw) have long been a part of Blood Bowl tradition, no matter what the refs say. As for the bombs? Well, Goblins are nothing if not innovative, especially when it comes to thinking up outlandish ways to tip the odds in their favour…

Give yourself a sneaky fighting chance by adding these unsportsmanlike Secret Weapons to your Goblin team – 3 in total, 1 Bomma, 1 Looney and 1 Fanatic. Each wear quite a lot of armour, hoping to delay their inevitable smearing across the pitch. The Fanatic wields an evil-looking ball and chain, the Looney strides purposefully forward with a small yet perfectly formed chainsaw and the Bomma… well, he’s carrying a bomb larger than his head, emitting a plume of noxious smoke as the fuse edges dangerously close to something of a violent exothermic reaction. If you’re going to cheat, bombs are a pretty good way to do it!

These 3 resin miniatures come as 12 components, supplied with 3 32mm Blood Bowl bases. Their rules can be found in Death Zone Season 2.

#6 RAZORBACK ASSAULT CANNON TURRET £16

RazorbackAssaultCannonTurret

Description

The formiddable assault cannon allows the Razorback to lay down a withering hail of fire while deploying its cargo of Space Marines.

A multi part resin upgrade for the plastic Rhino. Rhino sold seperately.

#5 GLART SMASHRIP £18

GlartSmashrip

Description

An impressively obese Smashrip attends the tryouts for the Warpfire Wanderers, but is laughed out of the line-up. His chances aren’t improved when he eats the team’s assistant coach to prove a point, but news travels fast, and it isn’t long before the Skavenblight Scramblers scout him out and offer him a place on their roster. Eventually, after some unpleasantness including a lifetime ban for eating a referee (which was eventually overturned) he became a free agent, bombarded with offers…

Field the gloriously portly Glart Smashrip as a Star Player in your Skaven or Underworld Denizens Blood Bowl teams by picking up this resin kit. The first thing you’ll notice about Glart is his size – there’s no hiding that this is a Skaven of impressive girth, who barely fits into the ramshackle armour that has been attached to his bulk with creaking straps. He isn’t bothering with head protection as there aren’t any helmets that would fit and, honestly, they just get in the way of eating stuff. Luckily, someone has found a swathe of cloth large enough to hide most of his unmentionables, and he features the usual spiky bits on his shoulders and knee pads.

The resin kit comes as 8 components including a warp-stone ball, a 32mm round Blood Bowl base is also included. Glart’s rules can be found in Blood Bowl Death Zone Season Two!

Skaven player shown in some images is for scale purposes only.
