As the first year of the Great Dwarven War draws to a close in the trenches of the Môn-Gerahnt Line, Orc and Dwarf soldiers settle down to celebrate Hognachtswatch. As both sides scoff their stollen or figgy pudding, some overly excited Orcs accidentally boot a futbowel across No Man's Land into the Dwarven trenches. Waiting for the expected response of machine-gun fire the Orcs are surprised when a voice calls out...

“Oi Orcy, doz youz fancy a game?”

Panzerfäuste Futbowel is a stand alone beer and pretzels game allowing you to replay the impromptu games of futbowel played in No Mans Land between the Orcs and Dwarves on Hognachtswatch. See how many goals you can score before High Command stops the fraternising by launching an artillery barrage and watch out for unexploded bombs when playing...

Panzerfäuste Futbowel will be released on 1st December 2016 containing a rulebook, 11 Orc futbowelers, 11 Dwarf futbowelers, a Gnome referee, 4 goal posts and a futbowel. The games normal RRP will be £50, but if you pre-order before 1st December you can grab a copy for £40.

As well as being used for playing games of Futbowel, the figures can be used as POW's or unarmed troops in Panzerfäuste games and the goal posts as graves or objective markers.

Additional teams can be purchased for £25, but if pre-ordered before 1st December will cost you just £20.

You can pre-order Panzerfäuste Futbowel right now here:

Well that's unfortunate timing!

I was trying to be polite, and had been biting my tongue trying not to say exactly that for the last day. :-p Possibly the worst timing I have ever seen for a product.

Preorder a year in advance or wrong date?

I hadn't spotted that, but it was indeed an error, they've corrected (as have I in the OP)

Good catch , I didn't even see the 2017

But I think they are referring to BloodBowl coming out the week before this.

Also are these blessed by being produced by Prodos Games?

No they've cast in house by Hysterical games themselves (who are now also offering resin and metal contact casting)

haha! Genuinely didn't even consider that BB is out soon.

We really are aiming for a different market, at best, you might be able to use some of these figures as Blood Bowl teams, which would be cool, but not the intention.

We wanted to release this in time for Christmas, as it is Christmas themed, that's all. We actually came up with the concept last Christmas and decided that we'd release it this year.

I can wholeheartedly state that none of our products are manufactured by Prodos Games, Archon or any of their weird conglomerate of companies.

Hysterical Games is it's own entity and does everything in house. I've worked hard to achieve that and we now offer a (reliable!) service to a bunch of other companies (some of which had poor experiences with the aforementioned Prodos Games).

I did learn a bunch of stuff at Prodos, but I've actually changed my entire Resin casting method, I have changed the type of resin so it's less bendy. So yeah, not Prodos!

Definitely not trying to steal Blood Bowl's thunder either. Those guys are making an AMAZING product which I will be buying.

Ta!

As a professional in the industry who should know what his competition is doing, especially one of his largest competitors, I find that hard to believe

I don't think there's any chance of anyone doing that


Edit: Re-reading my post it seems a bit snarky, that's not my intention. Good luck with the game, I think the idea of playing off the Christmas Truce is very novel, and I love your Orc soldiers

Fut... bowel. Bowel.

Really?

Unfortunately kick off has been delayed a few days for Futbowel for reasons beyond our control (resin supply issues). we anticipate the delay will be no more than a week, possibly ten days, but we will have the game to you well before Hognachtswatch.

The good news is that any one who has pre-ordered will now qualify for a Sergeant Klaws figure and if you haven't pre-ordered yet, you still have a few days to get in at the discounted pre-order price.

We wish you a Merry Hognachtswatch... with a free model!

As Mittevinter grips The Land and Hognachtswatch approaches, one Orc commando embarks on a mission to bring presents to Gnome younglings in the occupied territories of Dûn-Nomin. With a sack full of toy snails and smelly cheeses Sergeant Klaws brings joy to those suffering under the Dwarven jackboot...

And we will bring you joy as well as anyone placing an order of £25 or more between 1st December 2016 and 31st January 2017 will get their own Sergeant Klaws absolutely free!

So don't delay, get your Hognachtswatch order in today and make sure that Orc whelp in your life, or Dwarven young blood, has the toys they really want to play with once the Hogsvater has visited...
