TOUCHDOWN THURSDAYS: Frank ‘n’ Stein

 

The Warhammer Community posted up today the latest Star Play to run ok well stomp onto the pitch. It is an age old fan favorite 

Frank ‘n’ Stein

Frank appeared in the very first Star Player expansion book for BloodBowl back in the 80s check him out below


I had always loved this figure and really wish was still part of my collection. Might have to go trawling through Ebay.

This is the latest incarnation from GW (Forge World)


A much larger player to befit the growth in the figures in the game. The figure fits in very well with the new Wolfenburg Cryptstealers. He looks like he packs a mean punch with that oversized left hand.

With Brutal Block once a game Frank is sure to be putting more bodies for the Cryptstealers to put back in their team.

Cannot wait for this to be up for pre-order.

Sisters Saturdays: The Warhammer Fest Reveal


Tuesday Warhammer Fest revel saw the full release for the Adepta Sororitas that will be released soon so soon I hope.

Now most of these models we have seen before in previous reveals but there are 3 new models yet to have been seen and the first is a stunner



Morvenn Vahl is the now new supreme commander for the SoB and revered by the Custodes given a wicked looking blade. This model is stunning some great pose with the new armour. I still do have the question where are her feet?


Next up is


Dogmata she is your judge jury and executioner and she clearly has feet to do her stomping.

Can I get a hell yeah for the banner its big and imposing and the Sister with a book. Gonna be a nice center piece for an army. 

We only got organs and heavy flamers in the SoB we need a tank, well GW heard and have brought you the Castigator. GRRRRR the Castigator so good had to say it twice.


Based on the ol faithfull Rhino Chassis it is blinged up with religous icons and choice of Battle Cannon or Auto-Cannons. Plenty of firepower to lay down on the heretics.





The last 3 reveals is the Palatine for those of us that missed buying it the army box, the no knees no feet Paragon warsuits and the Celestian Sacresants

So a pretty big release for us SoB fans.

Looks like another guilt release to get my current SoB painted. More to follow next Saturday on my SoB army.

Touchdown Thursdays: Building a Black Orc Team

 

With the recent release of the Black Orc team box from Games Workshop, I have guilted myself into completing my first team for season 2.

With only 3 choices open to coaches you may be forgiven to think that selecting your team is easy. However there is one questions that has been making me deliberate my team selection.

TO TROLL OR NOT TO TROLL?

With 1,000,000 gold coins to spend on your team 115,000 of it is a lot to burn in 1 player. 

My list with a Troll is as follows:

5 Black Orcs
1 Trained Troll
5 Goblin Bruiser Linemen
2 Re-Rolls

Coming in 1,000,000 Gold Coins

With a Troll in the centre of the pitch wether you are on offensive or the defensive certainly adds an intimidation factor of 10 and he is going to put out his fair share of tackles. However it is the lack of a reserve and the chance that the Troll might just stand there has made me go with the following options.

 6 Black Orcs
6 Goblin Bruiser Linemen
3 Re-Rolls
1 Additional Dedicated Fan.

Total of 1,000,000 Gold Coins

Now this team is all about the Black Orcs hitting and punching holes in the oppostions line allowing space for the nippy Goblins to try and grab the glory of a Touchdown!

In terms of development of the team I generally really do not plan to far in the future due to my appalling dice rolls and loss of  players.

For colour scheme  I have tagged the original GW colour scheme, I always wondered why GW went with Black and Yellow rather than the Black and Silver of the Oakland Raiders where the team was obviously taken from.

I am going to some hints from the original team colour but head more to the Black and Silver of the team that I have followed for many a year. However this might make them look similar to the Thunder Valley Greenskins so gonna have to work hard on making my team look unique.

Tune in upcoming weeks on the progress of the team.

Also hoping in this weeks Warhammer Fest we get some cool BloodBowl News
