Two New Goblin Star Players Cause Chaos with Bombs and a Ball & Chain

Bob: I always feel like Goblin teams need a little help in games of Blood Bowl, Jim.

Jim: You’re right, Bob, but these two new Star Players should definitely help.

Bob: I just hope that the referees don’t see those secret weapons, Jim.

Jim: They should be fine, Bob, and you know what they say – all’s fair in love and Blood Bowl.

Two new Star Players are on their way to tear up the astrogranite with a set of unique skills and their own brand of, ahem, heavy weaponry – it’s Fungus the Loon and Bomber Dribblesnot.

Fungus the Loon

Fungus is the ultimate Goblin Fanatic, proudly displaying his love for mushrooms by carrying them out onto the pitch.* In-game, you can just wind him up, let him go, and even retain a little control over him thanks to his Whirling Dervish special rule.

His massive Ball & Chain gives Goblin teams some much-needed oomph on the line of scrimmage – who needs strength when you have special weapons?

Meanwhile Bomber Dribblesnot clearly has an appetite for destruction – just look at all of those extra explosives he’s got in his sack. Want to cause maximum carnage? Throw a bomb at your opponent’s best player and then have it explode as soon as they catch it!

Throwing bombs at enemy players means that you should be out of range for any retribution that may come back – the perfect place for a Goblin to be!

Both players can be signed by any Badlands Brawl or Underworlds Challenge team. So if your Black Orcs, Goblins, Ogres, Orcs, Skaven, or Snotlings need some help, Fungus and Bomber are great for adding a little thump, boom, and splat to your team.

Fungus the Loon and Bomber Dribblesnot will be available to pre-order from Forge World soon. In the meantime, grab yourself some Goblin Secret Weapons and Killer Kontraptions to give your team the edge on the astrogranite. Also, sign up for the Forge World newsletter so that you know exactly when these new signings become available.

* The morel of this story is that you should never be without a snack.
