Forge World Unleash The White Dwarf On The Blood Bowl Pitch
June 10, 2017 by brennon
Forge World are bringing some more characters to the tabletop for you to play when you get stuck into Blood Bowl. Leading the way we have two of my favourite characters they've done for this range so far, Grombrindal & The Black Gobbo.
This pair are now taking their battle to the Blood Bowl pitch with a new Star Player to include with Goblin and Dwarf teams. Humans, Halflings and Norse can also call on the power of Grombrindal while Chaos Renegade, Goblin, Orc or Underworld Denizen can be added into the mix for the Black Gobbo.
You actually don't hire them in the same way as regular Star Players so if you want to pick up these models they should fit in no problem.
Player Slayer
The Dwarfs aren't just getting Grombrindal however as Grim Ironjaw is also joining in the fun with a new model.
As a Slayer turned player this chap is out for a good old scrap, a perfect excuse to include him in a Blood Bowl team.
"Following a successful first season, Ironjaw spent several years moving from team to team, always striving to move up in the league rankings. After all, as he saw it, the most glorious death to be found on the pitch must surely be at the Blood Bowl itself, facing off against one of the NAF’s most accomplished teams.
In the years since he has yet to compete in the fabled tournament, but with each passing season, his chances are greater and his legend grows ever more impressive. Who knows – maybe this is his year!"
Trollslayers might not be the best tactical choice on the tabletop but when they've lived as long as a Star Player like Ironjaw here, it's worth including him in your roster.
Scampering Seconds
The Skaven are now to be outdone either as Forge World has designed some new players in this Booster Pack which allow you to add some variety to your team.
Inside this set you will get yourself a pair of resin Gutter Runners, a Thrower, and a Blitzer. Each of them has been posed dynamically to allow you to pick them out on the tabletop easily. Each of these deserves to be getting those Star Player Points!
What do you think of their Blood Bowl offerings?

Being a fantasy football tart…. and loving blood bowl because it is just so random, I am going to get most if not all of these minis . The White Dwarf is always a favourite however….. because if you are sick of dwarfs you are sick of life.
(Sidenote:1 .. Who ever dies owning the most dwarfs wins life)
(Sidenote 2. When calculating the final score please subtract the number of Elves/Aelves/Eldar/pointy eared freaks you own from your Dwarf total)
Oh my, Grombrindal AND the Black Gobbo….Why wouldn’t you want to own them and get them on the pitch ?
The Skaven booster is lovely as well, very dynamic sculpts for the sneaky, skittery little b*******.
Wow.. so the booster pack is the same price as the skaven team box?
Will be picking up Black Gobbo, and the dwarves actually appeal, may get them once I have current teams painted. Waiting on the human booster pack, or may actually just buy new box and sell the orcs (Sticking with old metals, as I feel new ones lack character – orcs being the best fantasy race)
…..after dwarfs
Orcs are indeed frequently after dwarfs to quote Morglum Necksnapper ‘Only thing better then a dead stunty is a dying stunty who tells ya where to find his mates’
..Yeah those self destructive urges which orcs have are really strange … 😛
Those are really good.
Love the minis but the paint job on the Black Gobbo is dire. Well below the Forgeworld standard. The shape of the model is completely lost.
So the White Dwarf and Black Gobbo are available via their web shop, that’s great I thought they would be only available at special events.
So I will of course get them and probably also Grim.
The Skaven are also nice but quite expensive.
I love the slayer.
Super Saiyan Grombridal is funny, but the Black Gobbo is great!
