Blood Bowl: Willow Rosebark $30
Nobody is quite certain why this especially mysterious and mercurial Dryad started playing Blood Bowl. She often appears unbidden before a match to lend her deadly talents and, well, she’s quite scary so it’s unwise to refuse. Willow has a penchant for spectacular displays of violence, which naturally makes her a firm favourite in the hearts of many Blood Bowl fans.
Willow Rosebark excels as a Blocker on Wood Elf teams, where her skills make her surprisingly resilient in a team that’s generally not famous for it. Faster than a treeman, she adds flexibility to a Wood Elf or Halfling line-up, bringing some much-needed strength that can be where it’s needed to turn the tide of a match.
If you need a star player in your life and want to add some speed to your team, Willow Rosebark will fit in perfectly with your Wood Elves and, especially Halflings.
LOTR: Scouring of the Shire $35
With this expansion for the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game, you can play through a narrative campaign to represent the battles fought during the Scouring of the Shire. You’ll learn about the rich history of the Hobbits, from the founding of the Shire to their deep links with Gandalf the Grey. The book also contains rules and background information to let you field full armies of Hobbits, including two Legendary Legions!
This book is coming with narrative missions, an inside look at Hobbit armies, a guide to making Hobbit Holes and more!
Hobbit Hole Upgrade Set $33
Build your very own Hobbit-hole with a unique terrain kit. Apply these finely detailed resin pieces to your own foam hill to create a lovely home to protect – or destroy. You’ll find a double-sided front piece, both sides featuring a round door and window, as well as 2 different chimney stacks and 2 windows to hint at the contents and size of the interior space.
Each kit is supplied in 5 pieces, along with a copy of the How to Build a Hobbit-hole article, reproduced from the Scouring of the Shire book.
You can use these kits to make your very own custom Hobbit Hole. Whether you’ve got plans to use this as a display board piece or as an actual model on your tabletop, they are some great hobby projects! The best part is that you get to put your own twist to your buildings.
With the latest pre-orders out, what will you be buying? Have you made a couple of Hobbit Holes already? What Blood Bowl team is your favorite? Let us know in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group, and sign up to get your free hobby updates newsletter each morning as well!
