Fire Up The Chainsaw For Blood Bowl’s Spleenripper Soon
June 23, 2021 by brennon
The folks at Forge World and Games Workshop have been talking about more Blood Bowl Star Players recently. The latest preview introduced us to Max Spleenripper who is ready to use his chainsaw to cause chaos.

Spleenripper can be used by Chaos Chosen and Nurgle teams as a Star Player and is very good at cutting apart heavily armoured opponents. Which referee is going to argue with the wild-looking fellow with the chainsaw, even if it is an illegal weapon?
The miniature looks great for Spleenripper and reminds me a lot of the classic sculpts that we've seen in the past for Blood Bowl. A great new option that might be a useful aid when taking down those heavily armoured Black Orcs.
Don't forget that if you're in the market for big Star Players then you'll also be able to pick up Frank 'n' Stein as well soon.
Frank 'n' Stein // Blood Bowl
A great mash-up of different players that has been reanimated to play games of Blood Bowl once more. Whilst Spleenripper is a rather typical player that should be easy enough to paint, Frank here looks like he would be a real challenge. I love the idea of trying to blend the two skin tones together and perhaps add a little more decay.
Are you liking these new miniatures for Blood Bowl?

Both are good looking miniatures. I do love that Max Spleenripper is doing “too sweet” hand sign. It’s nice touch.
Max looks like a lot of fun. I love the pose ?
Got to say I am delighted by this. Was concerned with Season 2 that there weren’t a lot of Star Players available – we knew Frank was coming as he was in the Spike Supplement for Necro teams. But Max didn’t even get a miniature during the last editions run – this can only bode well for the other Star Players who have been kicking around since 2016. Personally I want to see a call back to 2nd edition and a star player supplement getting released featuring the Star Players who didn’t get released during the last run and aren’t… Read more »
oh and I love the Frank N Stein Mini – he looks superb.
My Top 5 Players I would like to see get a mini and rules:
1. Hubris Rakarth
2. Duke Luthor Von Hawkfire
3. Dorjak Sureclaw
4. Borg’N’Thorg – Morg’s younger brother
5. Jordell Freshbreeze
Great to see Frank n Stein making a comeback!
I loved the original mini – although I am sure if Universal pictures ever saw it they would have sued!
A flimsy IP claim to rival gw suing that author over “Space Marines”. Love it!
ha ha classic!
Great looking figures I think the first one’s looking for his stolen bike?
I don’t even play Blood Bowl, and I want Max for how over the top and eighties he is, bringing back that classic GW metal madness!
