Blood Bowl Norse & Spooky Undead For Warhammer Underworlds!
March 24, 2022 by brennon
Phew, the news doesn't stop this morning, does it? Games Workshop also released a brand new Blood Bowl team. As a Norse fan myself, it was great to see my favourite team from back in the day making it to the pitch once more.

The new Norse Team takes the original premise and team set-up and runs with it pretty faithfully. You still have horned helmeted berserker and the mighty Ulfwerner for you to use as the core of your team.
Norse Team // Blood Bowl
Those are some ale-filled individuals making a statement on the pitch. They look like they are drinking more than the Dwarfs which is saying something! The team features the Ulfwerner as mentioned above, a wild and feral player who is no doubt going to be used in Space Wolf armies too.

You can also call on the Valkyrie to add some agility and speed to proceedings.

The more skilful Valkyries work nicely alongside the brutality of the Berserkers. The savagery of the Ulfwerner then finishes proceedings and provides you with one tough and nasty team. But, there is another player we haven't mentioned!
Beer Boars // Blood Bowl
The Beer Boars aren't just decoration or an accessory. These are real players. What do they do? Well, we don't know that yet. BUT, I think they look fantastic and might have just stolen the crown of "cutest Warhammer animal" from that Warhammer Underworlds crab.
It's nice to see Blood Bowl still getting updates and some of the classic teams receiving the new and upgraded plastic kits that they deserve. A fun set for Fantasy Football players.

We also got a look at a brand new warband for another of the more specialised games by Games Workshop.
The Exiled Dead // Warhammer Underworlds

The Exiled Dead are led by the strange Vampire Necromancer known as Deintalos The Exiled. He has worked his way down into Harrowdeep and is now performing all manner of experiments on the denizens that dwell there.
The Exiled Dead // Warhammer Underworlds
Assisted in Hammer Horror fashion by his underling, Marcov, this fellow has designed a cadre of undead that are more than mere shambling husks. He can use his power to push them beyond their limits and, in game terms, attack all at once in an avalanche of undead flesh.
I'm not entirely sure that I am sold on this particular warband but I think it will be fun for those who want to dip their toe into the Undead in Warhammer Age Of Sigmar. This is one of the strong points of Warhammer Underworlds that's for sure.
Are you going to be snapping up the Norse or perhaps The Exiled Dead?

We knew Norse were coming after that “accidental” Yeti leak a few months back, but its great to see them!
Gives hope that the Teams of Legend for Blood Bowl haven’t been forgotten, and we might one day see new Vampires and Chaos Dwarves!
I really wonder what they would change to make new Vamps and Chaos Dwarves
well, I would imagine Vampires and their Thralls would be fairly standard, but I am sure they could throw a big guy in there similar to the creature they produced for Cursed City.
CD’s I cannot see how to mix that up and some of the 3rd party miniatures (GREEBO) are brilliant.
The vampire team has gone through a lot of iterations already (back when GW first made rules for them, you could have 12 vampires and a Vampire Lord that was basically Luthor Von Drakenborg but he could acquire star player points). Then they switched up their nega-trait several times (with Off for a Bite, Blood Lust and now Animal Savagery). And there is a LOT of room to switch up vampires more. They could have vampire positionals pretty easily without losing the core theme. Chaos Dwarves are an odd one. If they reintroduce Chaos Dwarves into Age of Sigmar, that… Read more »
Norse blood bowl teamzzzz yeah ok BEER PIGS! THERE ARE BEER PIGS!
Beer pigs are the best minis of all of Blood Bowl 😉
Norse Team? nice. Now if only GW gave us Amazon Team.
I wonder what GW would do to change up the Amazon team.
Like the Norse team. They could be Blood Bowl players or just drunken patrons in a fantasy RPG bar.
And Beer Pigs… that’s better than a St Bernard… They bring the beer and provide the bacon… (I’d feel bad eating a St Bernard, but bacon is too tasty!)
The Norse figures look fabulous an more skellybobs is always a good thing.
Think I found my new blood bowl team – and quite possibly spirit animal!! Beer boars, beer and bacon combined!
Good looking minis.
Norse team looks fantastic. I imagine that the linemen, ‘zerkers and Ulfwereners are staying the same.
I’m curious about how the Valkyries will pan out, since they are combining the thrower and catcher roles.
Hoping the beer pigs end up being titchy, no hands, guard players. That could be excellent.
