That is a superb blunderbuss!

The painting on the explosion is just outstanding. It looks like VFX. Incredible.

My thoughts exactly. Absolutely superb.


And a nice mini too - a Chaos Dwarf with a blunderbuss; a match made in heaven.

It’s the OSL on the bolts and nuts that really sells it I think.

Don’t miss the eyes! They’re superb. Proper manic, and subtly bloodshot.

How is it going to look with normal person painting though? I think that if I got one (I probably won't), I would clip off those nuts & bolts.

You can tell I’m a simpleton, because GW’s awful pun names continue to make me grin.

On that note?

Anqi Panqi, Temple Guard Blocker.

Did he have a profile before, but no model?

Awesome model.

Say he first appeared in Spike! Journal #7, 2019

Yeah, I'd seen a reference to the Spike! issue, but couldn't remember if there was a sculpt at that point as well - GIS didn't find one, though.

New article about Chaos Dwarfs on WarComm

H'thark has Str 6! That's a lot of punching.

Apparently chorfs are live this coming Saturday and we should be able to collect our preorders from in-store. Spike 18 has already sold out online on the Australian store.

I always get the ebook version of Spike! anyway, so I'm good.

Guffle Pussmaw



You can recruit Guffle Pussmaw for any Favoured of Nurgle team, for the disgustingly low price of 180,000 GP. He’ll be available in Forge World resin, and comes with rules in the box.

My God he's disgusting alright. Looks like the thing that served me fish and chips the other night! I called him Mr Creosote.

That said this is a good sign for the game I think, releasing more stars. Bet this guy's stats are pretty hard to take him down. Imagine marking him in game (or real life). Mutation Big Mouth? Anyway he's certainly beefy and that's pretty cool. Also one leg has a normalish foot the other 3 toed elephant leg lol I like the painting too

I like his special ability. More star players with actually-unique abilities please, not “once per game you have a standard skill for thirty seconds” types.

Now I've read the article yeah I agree, it's a good concept

It does seem pretty useful. Essentially a free slap against an opponent, and you might just end up with the ball.

Quick Bite
Once per game, if Guffle is marking an opposing player who catches the ball, he may immediately make an unmodified Armour roll, and subsequent Injury roll if necessary, against that player.
If the target’s Armour is broken, Guffle immediately gains possession of the ball. No Turnover is caused as a result of using this special rule.

However, it is very situational, as needs to be marking the opponent when they catch the ball, not simply carrying it.

Not terribly good at Blood Bowl myself, but I suspect the threat of that ability, rather than use of the ability is the main attraction there, as I’d only be throwing to someone who might be affected if I felt I had no other options.

Chaos Dwarfs?!?

Dammit - I'm in!

Is there a good place to start with Bllood Bowl - is just getting the core rule book enough?

You'll need a pitch, dice and templates along with the book. So a 2020 Blood Bowl main set is better. If you have those, or play someone who has them, then the rulebook is fine.

You'll probably also want their Spike! Magazine.

Since the team rules come in each box now, the Spike! Is very much optional.

Hunh! That's me genuinely surprised - I was absolutely expecting the core chaos dwarves to be College of Metal for Dungeon Bowl - which is one of a couple that needs some significant boosting...

Nice model

Love the one all fluffed up, wearing a Football helmet.

How do they shake out on that front? In Fire with the regular Dwarfs?

Fabulous model!

Aye - the CD linemen and new fire breathers are both Fire, both type of Hob are Shadow, and Bull Centaurs are Beasts. The other two groupings I get, but just like with Gnomes being in Shadaow those two colleges seem to be getting the most attention by far. Perhaps borne from them being in the core box - I get that - but still, not how I would have grouped them.

Chaos Dwarfs are Fire, Bull Centaurs are Beasts, and Hobgoblins are Shadow.

In case anyone was interested in the Chaos Dwarves sprue pic. Not sure why the Warhammer store doesn't seem to show new or many sprue pics anymore.



Also every figure gets an optional head. Interesting that the hobgoblins have slotta bases and the chaos dwarves have flat bases.
