So Friday was an awesome day, the much awaited pre-order arrived. I bought all the new releases back the book. Following up will be an unboxing of the main game.
So a great new box with great box art and an Official Merchandise sticker. Might there be some boot log Merch coming out in the future?
The Orcs are in a dark green plastic and you have your usual 2 sprues for the teams, 2 for the Troll and Varag Ghoul Chewer
The Barons are in red plastic and same again 2 team sprues, 1 for Griff and 1 for the Ogre. The biased referees are the blue sprue.
Alongside the hardback rulebook are 2 fold out Cheat sheets for you to reference during the game.
The Dugouts this year are reverseable and thinner card stock than the pitch
The pitch iteself is larger than the previous edition so that the big guys have more space on the pitch, also the trap doors featured on both sides have special rules for them. If you want to use them. The first side is a nice grass pitch showing the left overs of a match.
The reverse side is the tradtional Astro Granite pitch and looks great so giving the new player a choice of playing service match to match.
Over the course of the week I will go into more detail looking at the figures, rulebook and the other releases that come out that weekend. Now it is onto building the figures and trying not to get distracted to paint them before finishing my Halfings
