The rumors were true! GW just revealed their new Lizardman Blood Bowl team and it looks AMAZING! Don’t miss the latest on the Crater Gators!
Warhammer Community let the lizard out of the bag on the rumored new team today, with this stunning preview!
Gwaka’moli Crater Gators
The Lizardmen have returned to the gridiron – and in style! This is an auspicious spawning indeed, bringing this much-loved team to life in glorious plastic for the first time and combining the classic Lustrian aesthetics you know and love with Blood Bowl’s distinctive brand of sports-based violence.
Massive Saurus
Chameleon Skinks
teeny-tiny Slann statue
We don’t know what we love more – those massive Saurus, adorable Chameleon Skinks, or the teeny-tiny Slann statue that acts as a turn marker for the team.
In-game, Lizardmen Blood Bowl teams are highly specialised, with Skinks making for superfast ball runners and Saurus acting as a rock-hard wall of scales, muscles and fangs on the line of scrimmage.
Look for these guys to be hitting store shelves VERY soon, with a full release treatment of pitch, dice, and a feature in Spike! Magazine #7. From there the rumored Ogre team looks to be on deck for later on.
Don’t forget, there may or may not be a new edition of the Blood Bowl Tabletop game coming in 2020 as well.
Cyanide is also pleased to announce a new partnership has been signed for the third edition of Blood Bowl, the iconic game from Games Workshop. Blood Bowl 3will coincide with the release of the new paper edition in 2020, which is being revamped with all-new game rules. More information about Blood Bowl 3 will be shared in the coming months.
Looking at the factions in AoS, Ogors might be on the slower side but might be on the same level of tankiness as Nurgle. Maybe they’ll even come with a rule that lets them eat an enemy model! (That might be OP but definitely fluffy).
Can you think of some fluffy rules you’d like to see Lizardmen and Ogors get?
