Saturday Pre-orders – Play ball in a new Season of Blood Bowl

The grass has been trimmed, teams are filtering into their dugouts, Jim and Bob are doing their vocal exercises, and coaches are drafting last minute strategies. That’s right, the latest season of Blood Bowl is here, and kick-off begins with a brand new box, and two new teams. Everything you need is available within, and there are two new Black Library books to enjoy too.

Blood Bowl – Third Season Edition!

Get ready for the brutal crunch of tackles, the euphoric feeling of nailing a touchdown, and the experience of failing a string of Rush rolls on the last dice with Blood Bowl – Third Season Edition! The beautiful, bloody, and often barmy Warhammer sports game is back with newly revised rules, and a bumper boxed set containing two brand new teams – the Brionne Barons and the Nehekhara Nightmares. You’ll also find the new 200-page official rules, a double-sided cardboard pitch, dugouts, 37 new game tokens to track injuries and status, plus templates and a set of dice. Also included are a set of handy cheat sheets and a transfer sheet each for both teams in the box.

Blood Bowl: The Official Rulebook – Third Season Edition!

If your collection is overflowing with teams and you just want to get straight to business with the rules, then a copy of Blood Bowl: The Official Rulebook – Third Season Edition! will let you get straight to rolling dice. It contains an in-universe history of the game, all the rules you need to play, plus instructions for League and Matched Play games, all the new rosters for the currently available teams, sixteen star players, and inducements. 

The Brionne Barons

With silly affairs like war long since abandoned, the knights of Bretonnia now prove their worth on the gridiron. After all, how different is cracking a defensive line to score a touchdown from mounting a rousing cavalry charge? The Brionne Barons bring to bear two Grail Knight Blitzers, two Knight Throwers, two Knight Catchers, and six Bretonnian Squire Linemen who are invaluable for buffing grass stains out of armour, and fetching drinks and orange slices at half-time. Handy on the pitch too, we hear. Also included are two double-sided Blood Bowl coins, two Turn and Re-roll Markers, four balls, and a transfer sheet containing 320 transfers. 

The Nehekhara Nightmares

As the alleged apex of civilization, Nehekhara obviously played Blood Bowl, and interred its greatest players within pyramids and tombs. Necromantic rites have meant that teams like The Nehekhara Nightmares can rise to play ball again, even if they’re a little rusty on the new rules – that’s their excuse for all the fouls, at least. This team builds four brutal Tomb Guardians, two Tomb Kings Blitzers, two Tomb Kings Throwers, and six Skeleton Linemen. You also get two double-sided Blood Bowl coins, two Turn and Re-roll Markers, four balls, and a transfer sheet containing 298 transfers.

Official Game Tokens

A lot can happen in a game of Blood Bowl, from your players getting knocked prone to them ingesting a dodgy snack and feeling the consequences. You can see what’s going on at a glance with these Official Game Tokens. Each set contains 37 tokens in total, as follows: 14 reversible Stunned or Prone tokens, one Blitz token, six Distracted tokens, five Eye Gouge tokens, four Chomped tokens, two Rooted tokens, two Dodgy Snack tokens, one Thrown Player or Bomb token, one ball token with possession and loose ball sides, and one Blood Bowl ball.

Blood Bowl Team Double-sided Pitch and Dugouts Sets

New teams means new pitches and accompanying dugouts. A castle courtyard acts as the Bretonnian Pitch – tough on the old bones when taking a tackle, but in the second half rioting peasants do a bit of impromptu redecorating. The Tomb Kings Pitch is situated inside a royal tomb full of traps… as well as restless spirits who can wake up in the second half. Each pitch also comes with matching double-sided dugouts, and rules on the box. These products are available while stocks last.

Blood Bowl Team Reference Card Packs

Up your game with a pack of reference cards that help you keep your team rules close to hand. There’s one each for Bretonnian and Tomb King teams, each containing four Player Reference Cards, 16 blank Player Cards, four Ball and Pitch Special Rule Cards, and two Skill Reference Cards. These products are available while stocks last.

Blood Bowl Team Dice Sets

Complete your collection with a set of themed dice for your chosen team. Each pack contains seven dice: three 6-sided Block dice, two regular 6-sided dice, one 8-sided Scatter dice, and one 16-sided dice. The Bretonnian dice are cast in a red and black swirl-effect with white pips and team logo on the six face, and the Tomb Kings dice are cast in a brown and gold swirl effect with turquoise pips and the team logo on the six face. These products are available while stocks last.

Warhammer 40,000 Collector’s Gift Set

Vagabond Squadron

The Valkyrie pilots of the 901st Tactical Wing are veteran flyers used to fighting against the odds – but their deployment to Kanai Tertius, where they must face the overwhelming might of an ork invasion, may test them to the limit. Vagabond Squadron by Robbie MacNiven charts how this infamous wing fares against the odds as Cassandra Elza plans to lead them on their most important mission ever.

You can pre-order a special edition of Vagabond Squadron that includes the extra short story ‘For Luck’, as well as a foreword, and is bound in an alternate cover with blue details and a light blue ribbon page marker. It will be available strictly while stocks last.

Starseer’s Ruin

The wreck of the Seraphon temple-ship Wings of Serendipitous Fire lies in Shyish, knocked out of the sky not by Chaos but by the actions of some of Sigmar’s misplaced followers. Irixi Starseer, servant of mage-priest Sek’atta, has been sent to the ruin to recover a prophecy inscribed on its walls, but he is not the only person drawn to the wreck. Stormcast Vael Scar-Helm ventures there to chase a memory that has haunted him through many Reforgings, and the mage Perlo leads a party of Steelhelms in search of great treasure, while a more insidious threat encircles them all, jeopardizing the fabric of the Great Plan. Starseer’s Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky is available to pre-order in hardback, eBook, and MP3 audiobook formats. 

Shadowsword

Assigned as close support to a company of Shadowsword Titan hunters, Lieutenant Bannick and the crew of the Baneblade Cortein’s Honour find themselves in the midst of a raging battle that is poised to determine the fate of three star systems. Such is the ferocity of the fighting, and the deadliness of his allies, that Bannick begins to question everything he thought he knew about the Imperium. Guy Haley’s classic novel Shadowsword is now available to pre-order in MP3 audiobook format.
