Yes, exactly. Model aesthetics first and foremost for many people, I can imagine it being the case equally or even moreso for beginners.

Okay then, enlighten us; how do you know its a Forgeworld release? Have they already stated it in an article or are you just making an educated guess based on previous releases?

If its the later then do not assume everyone has the same knowledge of previous releases as yourself - they might just be getting into the game and simply not aware its a resin kit. They could be asking because they genuinely do not know.


This isn't a product new players should consider. If you are a new player, you got far more important questions to ask than what the latest shiny star player is made of.


I said "getting into the game" not "new to the hobby." The game in question, Blood Bowl.

Look, asking if something is going to be plastic or resin isn't hurting anyone. If they already knew the answer then they wouldn't ask. Lets face it, its not any effort for Warhammer Community to clarify if something will be a Forgeworld release or not, and thus there would be no need for such questions in the first place.

You'd hope they'd be able to tell us but depending on who is writing the article they may not know,

as even if they have access to the mini (as opposed to being sent a photo) it's likely to be a 3d print done prior to real production and painted up so they box art could be done

Hmmm...possibility I guess.

I just find it bizarre that a company doesn't put its name to it's products, especially when they have "nothing to do with GW and vice verca".

I think my biggest problem with new Blood Bowl is that there is no design consistency and a lot of star players look completely out of place in their team.

I imagine that might be because GW does the teams and FW does the star players, usually a few years after.

Or since they are star players and the teams are generic players, they just look out of place anyway. If there was a real ogre that joined a NFL team who carried dismembered corpses into the fray they would look out of place too.

While both points are true, it also means the releases look just as out of place as third party designs, and shown out of context, is what I would assume most of the Forge World releases are.

I hope it looks better from other angles. They do have a tendency to make such extreme dynamic poses for BB that they don't look good in static model form.

You're not as funny as you think you are.

It's a valid question that's been blown out of proportion as though it is not.

We've gotten Ogres, Treeman, and Trolls as plastic. This isn't a Star Player. It very well could be plastic.

All of the Lizardman players wear shorts, so it only makes sense that the Kroxigor does as well...

It also means its gonna cost more and not be available with the standard 20% discount.

Ogres, treemen, and trolls also all exist in multiple teams, increasing the potential sales and making the cost of tooling up a plastic mould easier to justify to the bean-counters. If any other Big Guy was going to get a plastic kit it’d be the Minotaur next, I think. Especially if the new khorne team roster includes one as an option.

So, anyway, Dungeon Bowl!
Announced on the Warhammer Day preview stream, with an article on Warhammer Community here.

Looks like Classic Dungeon Bowl but with a significant glow-up. New (sorta) College teams that appear to be thematically linked pairs of current team sprues are in, probably 1 for each college so sprues from 16 teams, potentially. Known are Dark Elves and Skaven for Ulgu and Ogres and Dwarves (and snotlings I guess) for Chamon.

The new boxes set will contain The Rules (standalone; no cross-referencing with the core book) two sets of dice (new colours!), the aforementioned fire and shadow teams, the standard templates sprue, a brand new set of teleportal and treasure chest models,, and a set of dungeon tiles that appear to be classic Warhammer Quest tiles re-scaled to new BB bases, plus two team dugouts.

The dugout tiles lack the turn and score tracks completely so it looks like it’s ye olde first-to-score wins, however long that takes format. Form this and the teleportal in the dugout wall it looks like the reinforcements will work the same way too. In fact, it’s probably a full reprint of the LRB5 rules but brought up-to-date with terminology changes like rushing, and the inclusion of the passing stat.

Sounds pretty good to me, how about you?

Looks great to me, hopefully same price as current blood bowl.

If we can buy half'n'half teams that will also make putting together teams of 16 for normal blood bowl easier too, as generally need 1.5 boxes for most.

Might also be a good source for Blitz Bowl teams. But this box will only give you two (the Blitz Bowl box already has a Dwarf team and there’s no Ogres in the game).

Also, with the Khorne release I like the fact that the FW booster at least allows you to fill up on all position players. It has not always been this way.

The key question is...

Is Dungeonbowl going to be PLASTIC OR RESIN?!

But seriously, I love it. I've always loved the old Dungeonbowl mixed race teams, and it looks like they're bringing that aspect back.

My fave was the Black Widows, made up of Skeletons, Mummies and Trolls. So I'll be interested to see how many of the old team rosters are brought back and/or modified.

Yeah, next weekend is gonna be expensive. The team, dice, cards, pitch, magazine, booster, big guy, and two star players… not even counting the irrelevant non Blood Bowl stuff…
