If you blinked you probably missed it! Blood Bowl is the focus once again for the latest Forge World pre-orders that were posted days ago.
Forge World revealed what players can pre-order next for their Blood Bowl collection. In the same vein as the big Halfling team release, there’s even more coming. These are available for pre-order now and will ship on June 1st, 2019.
Deeproot Strongbranch $62
Strongbranch is actually a reskinned model from back in the day that’s only playable for the Halfling faction. In a team that’s bursting at the seams with little men with beer guts, we have a feeling this guy will do most of the carrying for the team.
A classic Star Player is reborn, or rather he’s so ancient he just grew a bit larger and more imposing. He’s one of the largest Big Guys available to any team, and the fact he stands with Halflings only makes him more impressive. Though his services don’t come cheap for an up-and-coming team, if you want to win with the Greenfield Grasshuggers you’ll find his strength and toughness too tempting to pass up.
Blood Bowl Referees (re-release) $24
Lastly, we’ve got a pair of tiny referees available to us. If you’re playing Halflings and have decided to go all-in on the team, there’s no real reason to hold out on these guys.
We’re bringing this duo of hungry halfling and greedy goblin referees back for as long as supplies last. Though they don’t have official rules, they can be used to track your re-rolls, remind you of Inducements you’ve purchased, or just add to the atmosphere of the game.
These finely-detailed resin models are supplied with 32mm round bases. The Halfling is casually holding a delicious-looking sausage sandwich in one hand whilst bravely telling off a much taller and presumably tougher player. The Goblin ref is tossing a coin with one hand and trying in vain to hide an ill-gotten bag of gold with the other.
With another team added to the Blood Bowl selection, the game is becoming more and more diverse. What do you think about these releases? What team do you play? What are you going to be pre-ordering today? Let us know in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group.
