Pick Up Classic Blood Bowl Teams From Games Workshop

Games Workshop is still riding high on the pre-orders for Warhammer Age Of Sigmar and Dominion but they have also announced some Made To Order items. You are going to be able to pick up two classic Blood Bowl teams this weekend.

The first of the teams is the classic High Elf Team that you see here. I know that we talk about classic miniatures being way better but I am liking the additional dynamism that we get in the new plastics. More armoured than their Wood Elf kin, these Elves can take a few more hits and bring a pretty damn good passing game to the tabletop.
If you're looking to explore a graveyard or two then you can also call on this classic Vampire Counts Team too.

The Vampires do a lot of the up-close and personal work, occasionally dominating their opponents. The Thralls then make sure that no one gets past them and anywhere near the end zone! They are pretty expendable so make sure you toss them under the boots of a troll or two.
Both of these teams will be available in metal as part of their Made To Order scheme. So, if you're hankering for some classic miniatures then this might be a good weekend for you. These certainly show their age but they are from a golden era of Blood Bowl goodness.
Are you going to be snapping these up?

It didn’t work in my opinion, it took away the fun appeal of it, and it lost a lot of the sports vibe they were going for back in the day. I think even Jervis Johnson later commented saying it was a huge misstep. Its nice to see how GW has course corrected with their new range, and I won’t be looking to get these. Plus from a size… Read more »
It’s nice to see those back at least for while.
I’m loving the classic elf helmets.
the ‘Morley’ vibe was never brilliant in the golden seasons of 94 onwards BUT.. those classic High Elf looks are great. The idea that BB teams wandered around the Old World like troupes of travelling actors (with more spikes) was always a fun one . . ‘stop the war, theres a GAME to play!!’
