Without delay, let’s check out what’s ahead.

Treemen Come to Blood Bowl

blood bowl tree man 3Treemen in Blood Bowl aren’t so much players as defensive emplacements. In a Wood Elf team, they’re a vital strongpoint, helping to shore up your team’s shortcomings by punching them incredibly hard. For Halflings – whose shortcomings are perhaps too substantial for a whole team of Treemen to overcome – you can throw any underperforming players directly into the End Zone, should the occasion call for it. A multitude of build options for this plastic kit allow you to customise your Treeman (or Treemen!), and it even includes the Blood Bowl debut of a fan-favourite character – Akhorne the Squirrel!

New LOTR Characters Anborn, Mablung & More

lotr quest of the ringbearer bookLOTR is getting a new book called Quest for the Ringbearer. You’ll be able to play through a bunch of narrative missions along with some new characters on the way.

Quest of the Ringbearer allows you to retell the epic story of The Lord of the Rings™ through loads of interlinked narrative missions, as you follow the Fellowship through their greatest battles. This is a great way to rediscover the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game of your youth or, if you’re a new player, experience the joys of guiding the Fellowship through epic moments you remember from the motion pictures.

These two Rangers are also on the way to make your fellowship that much stronger. They actually did a pretty good job on their faces this time too!

 In-game, both are Minor Heroes with a lot to offer a Ranger-heavy force, particularly if you throw in Faramir, Madril & Damrod.
