GW: Killteam, Warcry und Gnome für Blood Bowl

Kommenden Samstag geht es mit Kill Team: Nightmare in die ferne Zukunft von Warhammer 40.000, in Warcry: Pyre and Flood werden die Reiche der Sterblichen von Warhammer Age of Sigmar besucht, während die Blood Bowl Stadien die Glimdwarrow Groundhogs auf dem Spielfeld begrüßen.

Sunday Preview – Nightmares, Pyres, and… Gnomes

Another Sunday, another preview. This week we’ve got several long-awaited additions to several Warhammer games. Kill Team: Nightmare drops, alongside Warcry: Pyre and Flood, as well as the Blood Bowl Gnome team. Everything you see here today will go up for pre-order next Saturday.

Warhamer 40.000: Killteam

Kill Team: Nightmare

Nobody in the 41st Millennium is a good guy, but few are this wicked. The latest boxed supplement for Kill Team sizes up two of the meanest groups of guys in the entire galaxy – the Night Lords vs the Mandrakes.

In the blue corner are the Nemesis Claws of the Night Lords Legion – an infinitely sadistic bunch of raiders, corsairs, and murderers who love nothing more than draping themselves in the flayed skin of anyone who gets in their way. In the glowing green corner are the Drukhari Mandrakes – an infinitely sadistic bunch of dimension-hopping shadow beings who love nothing more than draping themselves in the flayed skin of anyone who gets in their way.

So as you can imagine, their first meeting in a killzone is going to be bloody.

Kill Team: Nightmare contains 20 new plastic miniatures in the form of two complete kill teams, an new plastic Generatorum Hub terrain piece, a 96-page book containing full rules, background, and new scenarios, two decks of unit Datacards, two decks of other user cards, and two token sheets – one of each for both teams.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Warcry

Warcry: Pyre and Flood

The battle for the Gnarlwood is no less nasty than the struggles occurring across Bheta-Decima, as we can see in the latest expansion box for Warcry.

The Nighthaunt are determined to set the Gnarlwood aflame as the Pyregheists are unleashed. These malevolent spirits haunt dark places, bringing Nagash’s enlightenment in the form of, er, burning death. Fortunately, the Lumineth fire brigade is on the case, in the form of the Ydrilan Riverblades, sacred aelementors who defend blessed waterways across the realms.

Will the Riverblades quench the Pyregheists’ thirst for vengeance, or will they go down in flames?

Warcry: Pyre and Flood contains two complete warbands, comprising 18 plastic miniatures, alongside an Idol of the Old Ones to add to your battlefields, a 64-page Warband Tome packed full of background and rules, and 62 cards, split across Fighter cards, Ability cards, and a full deck of Battleplan cards.

Wildercorps Hunters and Gorger Mawpack

Two more warbands are venturing back into the Gnarlwood as the Wildercorps Hunters and Gorger Mawpack, previously available in the Hunter and Hunted box, get solo releases. Each of these sets includes a complete warband – 11 miniatures for the Wildercorps Hunters and five for the Gorger Mawpack – and all the Fighter cards and Ability cards you need to use them in your games of Warcry. You may also deploy both units in larger games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar via their free downloadable Warscrolls.

Ravaged Lands

Give your warbands some new scenery to battle over with a pair of Ravaged Lands sets, each themed around the Gnarlwood and the long-lost Seraphon artefacts that lie within that blighted region. The Ruined Realmshaper set includes ten pieces of scenery, including gnarloaks, rope bridges, obstacles and the eponymous ruined Realmshaper Engine itself. The Ruined Spawning Pool comprises a Starfire Pylon and an Idol of Motzlpota, both with platforms built over them to take your games into the third dimension.

Blood Bowl

Glimdwarrow Groundhogs

And now is the moment you’ve been waiting for, as the game of fantasy football sees the fittest, most athletic, most professional team ever to play in the big leagues take to the field. That’s right, the Gnomes are here.

The Glimdwarrow Groundhogs are a collection of mischievous Gnomes, ready to bring their trickery, guile, and numerous woodland pals to the Blood Bowl pitch. The team includes 14 plastic miniatures – eight Linemen, two Illusionists, two Beastmasters with a choice of badger or goose companions, and two ball-thieving Woodland Foxes. You’ll also get balls and various tokens themed around the Gnomes.

Spike! Journal Issue 17

The rules for using your new Gnome team to dominate the leagues are in issue 17 of Spike! Journal. As well as a team list, this volume includes a spotlight on the Glimdwarrow Groundhogs, advice for coaching this… unusual team, new Star Players, Gnome Garden Leagues and a Dungeonbowl update. All the usual features round out the issue, which you’ll be able to get in paperback and eBook formats.

Gnome Team Dice, Cards, and Pitch Set

Coach your Gnomes in style with a range of themed accessories. The Gnome Team Dice Set features seven blue and red pearlised Blood Bowl dice, and the Gnome Team Card Pack features 44 cards covering your players, Star Players, new Special Play cards and blank cards for keeping track of your players in leagues. The Gnome Team Pitch and Dugouts set includes a double-sided pitch depicting a magical forest in the day and at night, complete with rules for playing on it, and a pair of dugouts.

It’s, uh, possible that your Gnomes might need some help on the pitch if they’re to overcome some of the tougher teams out there, and that’s where the Gnome Treeman and Rodney Roachbait come in. The Treeman will add some punch to your scrimmage line, while Star Player Rodney Roachbait uses his trusty fishing rod to hook the ball right out from under the noses of opponents.
