Necromantic Horrors Spring Onto The Blood Bowl Pitch
August 10, 2020 by brennon
Games Workshop has previewed another new team for use in the new edition of Blood Bowl. Necromantic Horrors are a team I am very familiar with having faced them numerous times on the pitch! Their new team is looking very cool and certainly turns the quirky up to eleven.

This new team comes with a great gaggle of zombies who have been sculpted in some fun ways. I love that you've got a few of them really going with the Halloween vibes and donning pumpkins as helmets. Things then go up a level with the big Flesh Golems, Wights and Ghouls. They seem like they would be very fun to paint, playing around with either this very focused scheme or something a bit darker and bloodier.
You've also got the new Werewolves who are actually looking pretty ace. I've always found that Werewolves tend to be a bit hit and miss, regardless of the scale, but I think that the Games Workshop team have done a great job on these which are rushing forward to snag the ball.

This is going to be one of the new teams which is coming to Blood Bowl later on this year. I would assume that we're going to be seeing the Blood Bowl Core Box releasing around September followed by this Necromantic Horror team in October? It would make sense!
Are you going to be picking up these Necromantic Horrors for your Blood Bowl collection?

I think these look great. I love the Halloween vibe incorporated that brings that bit of fun to the blood bowl pitch and would like to see the addition of some zombie inside giant pumpkin mascot outfit on the sideline. I see these and the song Monster Mash comes to mind and it makes me smile. Will be picking these up for sure ?
They seem really fun for sure – I think it’s what makes Blood Bowl appealing. The zany side of things is refreshing!
Totally agree ?
After everyone was getting into the Indomitus hype I was hoping for this. Blood Bowl season 2 is shaping up to be awesome, great humour and sculpts.
A great looking set of figures.
They could be the OTT team for blood bowl?
Good to see BB surviving
Those not only look good but also have plenty of character. Also gotta love that werewolf.
Such great designs
A werewolf playing Blood Bowl!? Basketball I could believe…
Yishhh… Those are not for me… Only the Werewolf pleases me.
Oh well, i’ll stick with the orcs!
This isn’t the team for me either. Cashing in on a holiday is admirable but these lack the feel of being silly like Oldhammer sculpts had. The monopose golems are admirable for scale and come close to hitting the silliness mark. Technically the ghosts are pretty good using the advancements used in AoS for the undead and Deepkin for all the drapery but it doesn’t cut the mustard for a whole team buy.
Meh, greenskins it is for me as well or another company like Greebo if Necromantic was my forte.
I agree! I really do like the old undead scuplts even if they were quite static at the time…
Not a huge fan of the werewolves – but you could easily replace those with some other companies minis. I am on the fence about the Wights being replaced with Ghosts – it does make the necromantic team more individual I suppose instead of just being a Shambling Undead team with Frankenstein and the Wolfman tagged on. I am curious to see what / if they do with the Vampire teams now, as GW do seem to be mixing things up with this new Edition of BB. Like a lot of other posters, I do hope that one of the… Read more »
