Each day until December 27th, we'll be revealing or teasing you about an exclusive or First Access item which will be available for the first time at the New Year's Open Day!

Grak and Crumbleberry are a box set of miniatures for Blood Bowl, coming to Warhammer World and selected events, but you can get them first on January 2nd!

Looks good, though I'm a little confused if it's exclusive or simply first access.

Looks like they're keeping a consistent base size for the big guys.

It'll be Exclusive to Warhammer world.

Wonder if it means Ogres are on Halfling teams in future

I certainly hope that this is not an exclusive item but a First Access item...

Says there are a boxed set available at Warhammer world and selected events

Bastards, that's disappointing

Hopefully they don't pull that with the rest of the BB releases.

They won't, it's just the same as the 40k, AoS, LotR exclusives they have.

I'm excited for the Halfling team now though, the referee wasn't my cup of tea but that little guy is great.

Yup, that Halfling looks good. Will be interesting to see how large the actual model is; seems like it's half as tall as the Ogre (unless maybe the Ogre is just shorter than I would expect). I surely hope any new Halflings won't be as large as the earlier edition humans, lol.

Man, that Ogre sure looks gak.

Decent Halfling though.

"Grak and Crumbleberry" sounds like a Star Player team.

The ogre's head is too small, looks more like someone gave a halfling some mega-roids. With a bigger head, I think he'd look quite good.

Replacement for Brick Farth' and Grotty probably.

Looks good to me, but being WH world exclusive won't do me any good over here in los angeles. I hope they had a plastic regular ogre planned anyways.

I'd say probably no to plastic, but yes to a resin one.

They've talked about a plastic one in all their twitch stuff.

Cool my mistake then (I don't listen to their twitch material). good to know!

That's a very small ogre, given the scale of the new blood bowl miniatures. Does this mean scale won't be consistent?

Consistent with what? Blood Bowl is set in its own universe so consistency with the AoS range is not required and, so far, he's the only "new" Blood Bowl ogre.
Or maybe he's just a short Ogre who all the other Ogres won't let play with them because he's such a titch.

Looks pretty much the same size as the artwork to me

Consistent with the other blood bowl miniatures.

I quite like it.

Says the guy with about 50 BB/FF ogre figures...

They might be showing some size restraint with the new big guys. Because they want to fit them on 32mm bases and not have them clash with other models on the board. The older BB models didn't have particularly huge big guys either. Hopefully someone brings a good camera to the open day. I'm sure they will have upcoming stuff on display in some glass cases. I'd expect to see the dwarf team there again, maybe the deathroller and who knows what else.

Here's a size comparison (scaled assuming the same base diameter).

So it's a bit bigger than a Black Orc still.

Fairly certain that's Morg n Thorg. Certainly resembles him.

Old mini:

I was taking him as Morg along with Puggy Bacon-Breath (Halfling Star Player) but they have given them specifically different names.

"Grak and Crumbleberry are a box set of miniatures for Blood Bowl, coming to Warhammer World and selected events, but you can get them first on January 2nd! "

Oh, God...THEY'RE ADVANCING THE TIMELINE!!!!

(Cue hysterics and sky falling predictions)

I can't decide if the ogre is farting or about trip over.
Wait, that's a star player ogre kicker? Are they bringing back kickers in Blood Bowl?
*blows dust off old Skaven kicker* oh wait, that's just more dust.
*goes off to find old Skaven kicker miniature*

I'm more than a little unimpressed with that ogre. A guy on one of my Facebook channels is converting an Ogryn and even though it's pretty raw, it already looks ten times better.

Edit: Okay, it looks better than the original but it still doesn't look as cool as the plastics.

The ogre is... poetry in motion.

Guess I'm one of the few who doesn't actually mind the Ogre

Nah I like it too.

Needs to be on general release though.
