Play As The Orcland Raiders With New Blood Bowl Alternate Kit
June 17, 2017 by brennon
If you want to add some superstar quality to your Orc team in Blood Bowl then you might want to check out the Orcland Raiders kit from Forge World.
Here's some fluff on this brightly coloured team...
"The Raiders started out as the Severed Heads, but changed their name following a relocation to Orcland after financial trouble. Under the fierce coaching of Ogre ex-torturer Cruel-Eye, the Orcland Raiders won the first Blood Bowl Open Championship, and they are now looking for their second open title."
The kit that you get from Forge World mixes the plastic set that you can buy with some of their resin components.
As you can see it adds in some new resin heads, bodies, arms, shoulder pads and more to customise the team to make them the highlight of the season. I particularly like the customised tokens and markers that you get with these sets.
Will you become the coach of the Orcland Raiders?

This is neat. The Raiders were always my favourite BB Ork team, it must be time to throw Varag a bribe or two to get him away from the Gouged Eye 😀 .
I am not really up on american football but shouldn’t the orkland raiders be painted in black and white?? Love the kit though and I’ll probably add it to my large crowd of Bloodbowl minis (all sadly monochrome …… sigh)
Black and White is definitely the scheme I would use, none of this girly yellow for the Boyz 😀 .
And some silver in there as well.
The normal kit is fine as it is but I guess this can help mix it up a bit for the models that would end up having duplicates.
It’s good to see that Raiders are back.
Great to see some of the original teams get included the new version! I’ve been waiting for these since they popped up so already preordered and can’t wait!
they look good.
Why can’t they just sell the kit separately from the figures..
I don’t need another team. Also, it should really cover 16 players, including 4 black orcs and blitzers.. not many players play with just two of each.
I think I will just paint my basic orcs yellow and black instead..
The new blood bowl “doom bowl” pitch looks great.
I like these a lot more than the standard orks, facial detail seems more characterful. Not enough to replace my metals buts good sculpts.
There used to be a time when the Forgeworld stuff really stood out from the GW vanilla. Put these against the vanilla team painted in the same way and I bet most people would not be able to guess which is which without prior knowledge.
Is that a comment noting that the quality of Forgeworld is slipping or that the quality of regular GW has raised? 🙂
A bit of both.
When it comes the new blood bowl miniatures it is really hard to tell them apart and on balance I prefer the GW ones e.g. the new ogre.
I can’t say I am familiar enough with the kit to tell the differences but it looks neat.
