Forge World: Magistus Amon und Blood Bowl

Mit Magistus Amon kommt ein weiterer Thousand Son Held aus der Horus Heresy Charakter Series und für Blood Bowl kommt eine fette Skaven Starspieler.

Magistus Amon Of The Thousand Sons Legion – 45,00 GBP

A figure whose repute was known well beyond his Legion during the time of the Great Crusade, for he often served as his Primarch’s equerry. It was said of Amon that he had served as Magnus’ tutor once, before the coming of the Emperor to Prospero, though the student soon far outstripped the master.

If true then it is likely that he survived the conversion process to Legiones Astartes as an adult, perhaps aided by the Crimson King’s direct intervention, and emerged both as a potent warrior and powerful psyker. Most of his career beyond his public duties remained in shadow and it is believed that he was in fact master of his Legion’s intelligence gathering organisation. Amon’s fate was to see him survive the Battle of Prospero an embittered and wounded figure, who became increasingly isolated from his one-time peers and master.

Posed dynamically, leaping forward into combat with cloak billowing and furious expression, Magistus Amon of the Thousand Sons Legion wears powerful artificer armour with layer upon layer of psychically-charged glyphs and waveforms designed to augment his own abilities. He comes armed with a reliquary staff, which contains the dust-like remains of slain mind-parasites – their murderous psychic essence is his to leverage.

Magistus Amon comes with a 40mm round base, which on its own features plenty of detail – shattered rocks and the broken armour of a fellow warrior – but comes into its own when slotted into the included 50mm scenic display base; this model is sure to become the centrepiece of your Thousand Sons collection

The miniature comes as 9 resin components, and rules can be found in The Horus Heresy Book Seven – Inferno.

Glart Smashrip – 18,00 GBP

An impressively obese Smashrip attends the tryouts for the Warpfire Wanderers, but is laughed out of the line-up. His chances aren’t improved when he eats the team’s assistant coach to prove a point, but news travels fast, and it isn’t long before the Skavenblight Scramblers scout him out and offer him a place on their roster. Eventually, after some unpleasantness including a lifetime ban for eating a referee (which was eventually overturned) he became a free agent, bombarded with offers…

Field the gloriously portly Glart Smashrip as a Star Player in your Skaven or Underworld Denizens Blood Bowl teams by picking up this resin kit. The first thing you’ll notice about Glart is his size – there’s no hiding that this is a Skaven of impressive girth, who barely fits into the ramshackle armour that has been attached to his bulk with creaking straps. He isn’t bothering with head protection as there aren’t any helmets that would fit and, honestly, they just get in the way of eating stuff. Luckily, someone has found a swathe of cloth large enough to hide most of his unmentionables, and he features the usual spiky bits on his shoulders and knee pads.

The resin kit comes as 8 components with a 32mm round Blood Bowl base, and Glart’s rules can be found in Blood Bowl Death Zone Season Two!

Blood Bowl Star Player Collection – 148,00 GBP

Collecting together all the splendid Blood Bowl Star Player releases, this bundle is a quick and easy way to pick up these legends of the pitch.

Morg ‘N’ Thorg, the hulking Ogre Blocker who’s willing to play for any team (as long as they’re not Undead…), is a cheerfully brutish miniature covered in vicious spikes. He comes in 30 resin components.

Varag Ghoul-Chewer, the strangely thoughtful Blitzer who can be added to any Orc army, is an especially mean-looking chap clutching a Squig and covered in chunky armour. He comes in 10 resin components.

The Mighty Zug, legendary Human Star Player, is a hefty chunk of meaty strength, with his brutish demeanour and enormous arms. He comes in 7 resin components.

Griff Oberwald, ruggedly handsome and devastatingly quick Human Star Player, comes in 6 resin components.

Hakflem Skuttlespike, the muscular, multi-limbed Skaven nutter of a Star Player comes in 10 resin components.

Grombrindal and the Black Gobbo, 2 Star Players who can join a host of teams (Dwarf, Halfling, Human or Norse and Chaos Renegade, Goblin, Orc or Underworld Denizen) come as 8 resin components.

Grim Ironjaw, notorious Slayer and archetypically splendid of beard, is a Dwarf Star Player who comes as 5 resin components.

Glart Smashrip, impressive in both tooth and girth, is a Skaven and Underworld Denizens Star Player who comes as 8 resin components.

This bundle includes 9 32mm Blood Bowl bases, and rules for of these Star Players can be found variously as cards in the Blood Bowl boxed game, in Death Zone Season 1 and 2 and as a PDF download.

The All-Star Skavenblight Scramblers – 96,00 GBP

The only team to have ever won the Blood Bowl trophy two years on the run (Blood Bowl XVII and XVIII, fact fans,) the Skavenblight Scramblers are at least a bit legendary. They’ve had a run of bad luck since then, but since the recent appointment of their new head coach Sandch Blackpelt, they’ve seen a new lease of life…

Should you be looking to assemble the very finest Skaven team you can, you could do worse than this bundle. In it, you’ll receive:

– The Skavenblight Scramblers, a multi-part plastic kit containing 2 Blitzers, 2 Throwers, 2 Gutter Runners and 6 Linemen and a roster sheet, along with with a transfer sheet, turn markers, extra balls and 12 32mm Blood Bowl bases;

– A Rat Ogre, a resin miniature in 9 components who can be fielded as a Big Guy in Skaven teams;

– A Skaven Team Booster, 4 resin miniatures for team enhancement: 2 Gutter Runners, a Blitzer and a Thrower;

– Glart Smashrip, generously proportioned Skaven Star Player in 8 resin components;

– Hakflem Skuttlespike, a resin miniature in 10 components who can be fielded as a Skaven Star Player.

Rules for the Skaven team are available in the Blood Bowl boxed game, rules for the Rat Ogre are found in Death Zone Season One and Glart Smashrip’s rules can be found in Death Zone Season Two!
