GW just announced AoS General’s Handbook 2020 is going up for pre-order, plus new Bloodbowl teams, rules, and accessories for each!
Warhammer Community just let us in on what’s going up on pre-order for AoS and Bloodbowl. We knew it was about time for the AoS update, now its time for it to hit shelves! Let’s check out what all is on the way to pre-order on July 4th.
General’s Handbook 2020
The Warhammer Age of Sigmar Studio has once again analysed feedback and tournament results, and made some points adjustments to help balance the armies. But balance adjustments aren’t all you can expect from this book – you’ll get a new way to play battles in the skies, rules to create your own bespoke heroes, and complete rulesets for multiplayer gaming.
Spike Issue 09
Grab this issue to learn about three different categories of mixed teams – Chaos Renegades, Underworld Denizens and Old World Alliance Teams. You’ll discover why they formed – including some hilarious dugout mishaps and violent misunderstandings – the best ways to coach them to victory, and how their rosters and Star Players work in your games. There will also be puns. Lots of puns.
Underworld Creepers
This box mixes and matches the contents of both the Goblin and Skaven teams in one kit. You’ll also get extra balls, team tokens, and trackers since both teams’ accessories are included on their respective frames. It’s a really cool way to enjoy more of the incredible Blood Bowl model range while coaching just one team! Plus, each team member has a unique pose since no sprues are repeated!
Skaven and Gobos is a unique combo but might be the one for you. There’s definitely an interesting thematic fusion going on here.
Middenheim Maulers
While we’ve seen Chaos Renegades and Underworld Denizens in previous editions of Blood Bowl, this cracking new team of the ‘good guys’ comprises Human, Dwarf, and Halfling players. This mix makes for a very well-rounded team (and we’re not just talking about the little fellers’ ample bellies) that hits hard and can handle just about anything.
This is a unique team as it actually includes three races! If you enjoy painting lots of different models this might be it for you, only a few models are even similar at all.
Old World Alliance Team Card Pack
Make sure you order the Old World Alliance Team Card Pack to keep track of the many positions, stats, and special rules during your games.
Maulers and Creepers Pitch
Of course, these teams need somewhere to play their games, and this double-sided pitch will cover both Old World Alliance and Underworld Denizens arenas. These themed pitches really evoke the exciting mashup of cultures represented in each team, and include matching dugouts for each.
What do you think about these new General’s Handbook coming to pre-order? Are you excited about any of these Bloodbowl teams? Or do you just want to know the new rules coming?
