Let’s check out the models in more detail: I used pretty much the same paint recipe for their armour, though, to make sure they fit the overall look of the team. So here are my first two completed Black Orc Blockers:Īs you can see, the heavy armour instantly differentiates them from both the Linemen and the Blitzers. Apart from that, it was all smooth sailing. Not only will the contents of that box come in handy for my Orcish warband for Mordheim as well, but I also wanted my Black Orcs to look suitably impressive and heavily armoured.įortunately enough, the plastic Black Orcs are perfect recreations of those cool late 90s metal models I loved so much when I was still playing WFB, and they also work really well as Blood Bowl models with only some minor adjustments: When building them, I cut off their weapons to just leave the armoured gauntlets. While most of my Blood Bowl players are indeed “refurbished” 40k and WFB Orcs, I actually went and picked up a new box of Black Orcs in order to build some Blockers for the Orkheim Ultraz. However, my colleague has a beautifully painted Lustria team, so you might get some glimpses of it, once the report from my first Blood Bowl game comes rolling around – 2 double-sided card dugouts, matching the theme of the pitch on each side.Thanks, Nashbashem! To tell you the truth, I have very little inclination of building and painting Lizardmen myself. One side is themed as an Imperial Nobility stadium, and the other for Black Orcs. – 1 double-sided fold-out Official Pitch, divided into squares and marked with zones. – A beautiful 136-page hardback Blood Bowl rulebook explaining the rules of the game, how to run a league and develop your team, plus updated team, player, and Star Player profiles for every team released so far.

– 2 Blood Bowl Biased Referees: 1 Dwarf and 1 Elf – 1 green plastic Blood Bowl Trained Troll – 1 green plastic Star Player, Varag Ghoul-Chewer – 12 green plastic Black Orc team players: 6 Goblin Bruiser Linemen, and 6 Black Orcs

– 1 red plastic Star Player, Griff Oberwald – 12 red plastic Imperial Nobility team players: 4 Imperial Retainer Linemen, 4 Bodyguards, 2 Noble Blitzers, and 2 Imperial Throwers This box is stuffed with absolutely everything you need to play smashing games, with two generously-appointed teams and all the extra gubbins. Fame, wealth, and glory await if you win… The action’s fast and furious, but if you keep your head in the game you just might best your opponent and score the most points – or make sure they can’t get back up to stop you. From the moment your team stomps out on the gridiron, your grit, wits, and capacity for grievous violence is put to the test.
