The rules for using Norse teams in your games of Blood Bowl can be found in Spike! Journal 14. In addition, there are 2 double-sided Blood Bowl coins, 2 turn and re-roll markers, 4 balls, and a transfer sheet with 292 decals. The team is made up of 6 Norse Raider Linemen, 2 Beer Boar, 2 Norse Berserkers, 2 Ulfwereners and 2 Valkyries. The multi-part kit is comprised of 120 plastic components with which you can assemble the Norsca Rampagers, a Norse team for use in games of Blood Bowl. Norse teams work best when they can use their abundance of hitting power to punch a hole in the opposition’s defence, allowing their Valkyries to use their impressive speed to run through and claim victory. Of course, it’s not only about causing a punch-up in the middle of the gridiron there is also the small matter of scoring those all-important touchdowns. These hardened players excel in getting up close and personal with the opposition, throwing blocks left and right as they mercilessly hammer their way to the end zone – and no doubt the tavern that lies beyond! Lastly, it's generally accepted that two St 4 Ulfwereners are critical to any starting roster - deviate from this "common wisdom" at your own risk.Norse teams enjoy nothing more than a good scrap – and that’s certainly how they perform best on the pitch! Norscans have spent their entire lives in the harsh, freezing north, making them quite a tough bunch. Otoh, a MA 7 Runner can often score twice in the first match to get Blodge before the second game, and so help you win while being a target that can survive Berserkers - dealer's choice on that. Getting them skilled up early is important, and Runners skill up fast enough later. It's strongly recommended that you do not take a Thrower with a starting roster, as in early games they are unreliable on offense and a +20k liability on defense.īerserker(s) or Runner(s)? Second to the Ulf's, your Berserkers may be your most important positionals. Throwers are debated - with only Ag 3, no true "Catchers" on the team, and only 2 players with normal A access, some coaches see them as nothing more than an expensive lineman. 4 RR's may(?) be one too many for a fully developed team, but may not be for a starting team or new coach. Proceed with caution.Īs for RR's, although the majority of your team will start with Block, the two Ulf's (and the Snow Troll if you take one) will not - those unskilled Frenzy-ers, plus Ag 3 ball handling, can drain RR's very quickly. Linemen cost no more than an Apo, but losing some of the more expensive positionals can leave you with a team that must be retired early. The Asgard Ravens are noted as a team combining Norse players with Giant. Your only options to address this areĤ) live dangerously early, invest in positionals and hope for the best.Īll these options are valid, but the last is best if you are in a predictably "safe" environment, like a "soft" league.
