Forge World has been super-active with Necromunda releases, but not much from Blood Bowl for quite a while now - I was convinced that something would appear the weekend before or during Blitzmania II’s kickoff weekend, but nothing. There’re lots of special characters (star players) left to release; more now that Spike! Journal #1 is out. I chatted with a Forge World representative our at LVO this year, and asked about the future of B.B., and he said that he couldn’t give me any official details beyond saying that it’s far from being a top priority. I’ve also noticed that despite the models available from FW and GW, the tournaments I’ve been to in the USA have a vast majority of players who use either older, 3rd party, or proxy miniatures (the new, plastic teams, for example, are significantly in the minority) - maybe the newly released B.B. stuff isn’t selling as well as they hoped?

Anyway, I’m just wondering if anybody has any information regarding the future specifically of FW B.B. releases - since Chaos Chosen (pact) just came out from GW, and since Dark Elves are soon to be released, maybe we can hope for Chaos & Dark Elf Star players? Maybe, too, the star players from Death zone 2 and the almanac, the release of which is waaaay behind schedule? Maybe the rest of the goblin positional players (the other three)?

There are some photos of new releases for Blood Bowl, for example Dark Elves, Spike nr2, Dark Elf pitch and some FW star players.

As you have pointed out, it's much less frequent now and we're still in great need of booster packs for the first teams released in 2016!

I'm not that interested in star players to be honest, because there's around 60-70 of them now, and more to come as you say with Spike. They will never make them all and probably have no intention to do so. If there's specific star players you want to field, why not just convert some or use 3rd party?

My very limited experience with blood bowl tournaments also suggests what you have observed, the veterans who have played for all these years have abandoned GW and is not really coming back. I was unfortunate enough to join about the time when GW stopped selling Blood Bowl so never got my hands on the miniatures back then, so I'm very happy now and have been collecting all teams released so far. Same with Necromunda really.
