Not surprised. Leaves them to do other teams for another round of M2O.

Though personally, I dont mind. Might actually get that trophy pack... <.<

The text says "several" teams, so there is a chance there will be more than shown in the pics, I guess.

I'll definitely get the trophies, typical that the Elves they pick are the only old bloodbowl team I ever picked up as a boy!

I wonder if I can resist getting the Chaos to go with my Lord Borak...

Teams? Isn't it enough that you can get metal trophies?

Games Workshop: On the Precipice of Greatness, walking backwards.

Three teams? Incredible...

Is that how they are going to package them, as one big team? I wont be able to get bull centaurs or chorfs seperately? Annoying

EDIT especially since there are only 4 chorfs and you need 6, everyone will need to buy two sets.

I'm not sure there are BB teams I'd get in metal outside CD, most aged less than good or were bad to begin with. Maybe Vamps?

Reckon I'll get the Trophies and Cups.

Not sure I want any of the others.

Up on the NZ site. It's kinda as we feared, just teams with only two standalone minis.

Chaos:


Dark Elves:


Dark Elf Assassin:


Chaos Dwarfs:


Chaos Dwarf Bull Centaur:


Chaos Dwarf Team 'Bundle' (literally the team + 2 Bull Centaurs the same price as buying them separately):


Trophies:

And the chaos dwarf "team" is still two blockers short.....er, I mean they are all short, just missing two blockers for a full "team"

If the New Zealand prices are an indication of how everything will be priced in other countries, that's pretty disgusting even by GW standards. $200 NZD for a Chaos Dwarf team with 4 blockers.

that should be about $5 here in the USA by GW standards then.

Wow, I was expecting $80-$100 per team, no thanks GW.

It is $102 per team, The $200 version has the additional bulls.

Is that something like £30 a team then?

It's $50 for the new troll on their site so I'm guess just over £30 for the ream £32 to 35 in the uk. Good deal I feel. Gets a bit pricey with the two big guys at 60 though.

Close: £32 (or 42€).

How many pieces are the bull centaurs and how tall are they? I never got to see them in the flesh.

These are identical to how the teams were sold back in third edition. You would need to buy additional figures to round out the positionals. I imagine that the problems with this release are that the teams you see here are all one big mold. Bringing that mold out of retirement is a fair bit of work, hence why there are only three teams and a few extra miniatures and the additional positionals are nowhere to be seen (as they'd have been on other molds that are still retired).

Regardless, I hated these figures. Far too close to Warhammer figures with their weapons snipped for me, chunky in odd places and also with terrible 90s GW paintjobs.

The sooner these figures get modern, updated releases, the better.

I have to say those are some ugly old models.

Time has not been kind to them.

They've dropped in one of the chaos mutants, presumably to bump up the numbers to the same as the other teams. Shame the other two are MIA, especially as you'd figure they'd be on the same mold as claw guy.

Would have to agree they were never great models. I don't mind the 4th ed. aesthetic but their poses look weird and unnatural. I guess it was an attempt to make them appear more dynamic.

That's all I'd pay for them. Ghastly models.

What time will these hit the US site? I haven't seen them yet to check our pricing.

My friend's getting the trophys. We just got Blood Bowl.

His dad might play too.

Ordered the trophies. They've actually aged quite well, particularly the Spike! League one. And they'll be a pig to find again once they've gone.

$29.75 for the trophys, I might've grab them, $54 for the teams and $25 for each bull centaur.....I might just pass on all of it as the local shop doesn't care where the teams come from and there are so many better models out there.

Possibly, but often with metal spin casting it makes more sense to have duplicates on a single mould rather than a whole team of unique models. Metal spin casting has a relatively high failure rate, you normally just break off the failures throw them back in to the molten pool of metal and cast them again. So if you put a whole team on a single mould you can end up creating a lot more work for yourself, especially if one model fails more than the others you just end up wasting time as you throw well casted models back in to the molten metal just because 1 model keeps failing.

Just a heads up, I just got an e-mail stating that my chaos dwarf bloodbowl team is underway. Its a lot sooner then I expected

My teams and trophies arrived this morning !

I wonder what's next. Necromunda redux, perhaps?

Any hype for this round?
