Blood Bowl: Khorne Team Gets A New ‘Bloodspawn’ Model
Did we call this one? I think we called this one. Meet the intimidating new ‘Bloodspawn’ coming to Blood Bowl!
When the Khorne Team got previewed Games Workshop teased some art of their “Big Guy” the Bloodspawn. We had our suspicion that there was going to be more to it than just artwork. What we didn’t know is how quickly the Bloodspawn would be ready for recruitment to your Blood Bowl team with a new model. Well, now we know.
“The blessings of Khorne are evident all over, from the enormously oversized musculature, unnaturally swollen by the Blood God’s unholy power, to the vicious bone spurs protruding from its flesh. And just look at the size of that arm – not even a Treeman would fancy its chances at taking a hit from that thing!”
Yikes! That’s one massive fist of pain heading to the pitch. Overall, I think the model is pretty close to the artwork that was teased as well:
We also got a look at the stats of this beastly player and yes…the Bloodspawn is going to wreck whatever gets in front of it on the pitch.
Claws and Mighty Blow (+1) are a downright nasty combo. Stack that with Frenzy for some follow-up hits and the Bloodspawn is going to just keep going. Claws in particular are going to make him bad news for other “Big Guys” on the pitch as the Bloodspawn will be able to punch through opponent’s AVs with a roll of 8+.
The Bloodspawn will need some support to really do the damage – so be sure to pick-up the Khorne team when it comes out later this year. We don’t have a release date set as of yet but GW is saying both the team and the Bloodspawn will be available for Pre-order this year. If you’re looking for a team that’s looking to put the Blood back in Blood Bowl, this one’s for you!
Bloodspawn SMASH! Wait no …it’s Clobberin’ Time! That’s not right… Nobody makes me bleed my own blood!?
