The Wood Elves Dance Back Onto The Blood Bowl Pitch
June 3, 2019 by dracs
Games Workshop announced the return of the Wood Elves to the pitches of Blood Bowl as the new miniatures for the Athelorn Avengers are revealed.
The Wood Elves are one of the most athletic teams in Blood Bowl, able to dance circles around the other teams with impunity. Their agility allows them to pull off some absolutely astounding plays and passes, but as their lack of armour (or clothes) suggests they're not always that good at taking a hit.
According to Warhammer Community, this set is one of the most customisable currently available in Blood Bowl, with plenty of options for head swaps and lots of fluid stances to choose from.
The Wood Elves were one of my favourite factions of The World That Was and this was carried over into their Blood Bowl team. This new set carries a lot of their original style, really leaning into the whole wardancer look.
Is this a team you plan to support?

Yellow…. why yellow? Why?! It just looks wrong somehow… more green and brown.
The skin tone is stunning on these, and the ‘Eavy Metal team have raised the bar with the paint job but… they have just released a green and yellow team in the Halflings and it doesn’t say Wood Elf to me. Personally I think swapping the green and yellow round would have looked much better with the same spot colours. Will buy at some stage.
Those look really good.
These were one of the teams I was looking forward to. They’ve missed the mark in a way I can’t quite put my finger on. It’s partly the paintscheme (beautifully executed but maybe not quite the right colours), it’s partly they just look a bit … odd. What are they, bodysuits?
I love these models. I always liked playing elves in Blood Bowl – run and pass and dodge and score; that’s how a tabletop sports game should be played out, to me (not cage, grind, run down the clock!). I don’t care what the rest of you say, I think these are amazing 😉
nice models.
Woodarlequins…?
These models look really good, some of the best BB models.
