GW revealed next week’s new releases and it’s the brand new Norsca Blood Bowl Team and characters hitting pre-orders.
Games Workshop just let us in on all the new releases that will be going up for pre-order this coming Saturday at 1 PM Eastern time here in the states.
Now let’s look at next week’s Pre-Order line-up from Warhammer Community.
Norsca Rampagers
Norse teams may have a reputation for preferring post-game celebrations to actually playing Blood Bowl, but they are incredibly potent on the astrogranite. Their tough Berserkers and frenzied Ulfwerners can punch holes in opposing lines, allowing the nimble Valkyries to score. The adorable Beer Boars are great at giving the team a mid-match pick-me-up, but be careful – even a Snotling will fancy their chances in a block against your porcine pal.
Nosrcans are brutal, so expect them to be able to hit pretty hard and take some punches on the field.
Spike! Magazine 14
All the rules you need to get your Norse team onto the tabletop can be found in the latest issue of Spike! Journal.* There are also hints and tips, background, and lore, and all your favourite in-world columns – plus new rules for using Norse players in Dungeon Bowl. It’s available in physical and digital formats.
For everything you need to know about the new faction, this new book is your answer!
Norsca Dice and Team Cards
There are plenty of accessories for your new team, too. The Norse Team Card Pack features handy reference cards for your players, as well as bespoke special play cards, such as Armoured Boar! Make sure to grab a set of Norse Team Dice, with a stylish dragon-ship design that’ll have Nuffle smiling on your rolls.
As with most major new releases, you can also pick up cards and dice to help with the learning curve and pronounce your loyalty to the newest faction.

Norsca Team Pitch
Meanwhile, the double-sided Norse Pitch and Dugouts are sure to give your team the home-field advantage – or in this case, home-frozen-lake advantage. There are special rules for playing on an icy surface – we hope your team can keep their footing, especially when you flip to the other side and the ice starts to crack…
Additionally, there’s a team pitch so the new team can have some immersion in their own field and change the scenery of your Blood Bowl games.
Yhetee
Forge World are also getting in on the Norse fun, with a range of new players. The Yhetee adds more punching power to your team – unleash them on opponents to clear a path to the endzone for the rest of your side.
This big guy will certainly do some damage, but will he be worth the trade-off?
Skrorg Snowpelt
If you prefer showmanship to savagery, there’s the most stylish Yhetee ever to grace a Blood Bowl pitch (and five-time beard of the year winner) Skrorg Snowpelt. Not only is he great at ripping the arms off opposing players, but he can also pump up the crowd when he does so, inspiring your entire team.
As the named Yhetee, this one is sure to pack a bigger punch and have a few more benefits.
Thorsson Stoutmead
Thorsson Stoutmead has earned a reputation on the Blood Bowl pitch for throwing his barrel of beer at opposing players. Thankfully, referees are happy to turn a blind eye to his antics, so you can knock down opponents from distance.
Thorsson’s ability to knockdown at range sounds pretty strong, so maybe this is an easy decision for players to make.
Ivar Eriksson
Finally, Ivar Eriksson is the complete package – a talented Star Player who starts with the Block, Guard, AND Tackle skills, which should help you turn the tide of any game. He’s also bringing back legwarmers, which is definitely a positive in our book.
Ivar seems to be the complete all-rounder, making for a great tool in any Norcan player’s team composition.
