Forge World has new releases on their site which is the first we’ve seen since the “regional currency” increase. Let’s take a look at what’s available.
Fresh off the production line from Forge World, we’ve got some new 30k and Blood Bowl units up for grabs. Jenetia Krole is going to be bolstering the Imperial lines while Dark Elves will be storming the Blood Bowl field. Let’s look at what they’re bringing into the game.
Jenetia Krole $56
ssassin, general, avenger and soul-chilling terror, Jenetia Krole was a creature of dark legend long before she was committed as part of the honour guard tasked with the retrieval of the Primarch Magnus.
Upon the battlefield of Tizca, Krole was personally responsible for the division of her ranks into protectorate detachments for the remainder of the Censure Host, a matter which allowed them to ensure the near-destruction of the Thousand Sons Legion at the sacrifice of thousands of her troops, while she herself sought out and slew many of the Thousand Sons’ most vaunted sorcerers in hand-to-hand combat.
By the time of the battle’s ending, she appeared a spectral figure of some ancient myth, bedecked in the white dust of shattered marble and the spilled blood of multitudes.
Jenetia’s rules can be found in book 7: Inferno.
Roxanna Darknail $28
As one of the Darkside Cowboys’ most successful players, Roxanna makes such a show of spilling the blood of her foes that it is rare indeed when she does not end a match with her skin slick with the blood of fallen opponents. And the fans love it, especially the cruel-hearted Dark Elves and other, equally mean-spirited types.
Some however claim that Roxanna uses her status and role as a means of retaining her youthful features and soft, pale skin, and indeed several cosmetics brands have sought to sponsor her in order to be associated with such a starkly beautiful player. Others whisper that as a Witch Elf, Roxanna is compelled to bathe in the blood of her enemies lest she age and wither into a stooped crone – none to have voiced such a suspicion, however, have lived to repeat it.
Dark Elf Assassins $31
Trained in the arts of silent murder their whole lives, assassins are the means by which Druchii society turns and maintains its vitality. Many vacancies in various political or financial institutions have popped open to the benefit of a young aspirant at the point of an assassin’s blade.
One important side note is that these assassins, as well as Roxanna, are Resin. The Naggaroth Nightmares team os plastic, however.
Naggaroth Nightmares $122
This multipart plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble the Naggaroth Nightmares, a Dark Elf Blood Bowl team. The team consists of 6 Linemen, 2 Blitzers, 2 Runners and 2 Witch Elves – each is clad in some pretty spikesome armour, with the hides of Cold Ones draped over their shoulders.
The Witch Elves are… slightly less armoured, and can be modelled either with hands pointing imperiously toward their opponents or clutching a still-beating heart, while the Linemen have 3 different designs of head.
This is the one-stop shop option for the entire Blood Bowl faction. You get an entire Naggaroth team as well as Dark Elf Assassins, and two characters.
Eldril Sidewinder
Bemohawked and lightly armoured – clad in a leather harness and shoulder protector, gauntlets, pants and running shoes (with some pretty hefty studs in the soles, no doubt ready to splinter the shins of all who stand before him), Eldril is a prime example of the sort of cheekbones and jawline you only get from Elves.
We’ve actually been able to grab Eldril for a while now. He’s not new, but the Naggaroth Nightmare team that comes with him certainly is. It looks like they threw him in the bundle to give you more options if you’d like.
Blood Bowl is also getting Nurgle’s Rotters very shortly too. Will you be picking this team up or wait for the Daemons to take the field? What do you think about the latest releases from the Forge World team? Let us know in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group.
