The Norse Team was announced at AdeptiCon last week, and it brings with it one of the greatest players Blood Bowl fans have ever seen – the almighty Beer Boar. But sometimes you need more booze than one small pig can carry, which is where Thorsson Stoutmead shines.
As his name implies, this Norse star player is both powerfully stout and filled to the brim with mead. He’s so enthusiastic for a mid-match pick-me-up that he carries an entire barrel around with him for on-the-go refuelling purposes, which handily doubles up as a blunt force trauma weapon.
His signature move, Beer Barrel Bash, lets him toss his keg to knock down rival players. However, the ever-enthusiastic Stoutmead may have had a bit too much to drink – if you flub the roll, he’ll drop it on himself instead.
This muscular mead-fuelled macho man can lend a bit of extra power to any Old World Classic team. So if your Norse, Dwarves, Halflings, Humans, Imperial Nobility, or Ogres need a helping hand, they may just want to recruit this barrel-bowling, player-tipping, drinking horn-appreciating legend.
Thorsson Stoutmead will be available to pre-order from Forge World soon. In the meantime, sign up for the Forge World newsletter to get the announcement of his arrival (and plenty more) delivered right to your inbox.
