A capering Goblin with perhaps the least subtle secret weapon in the entire history of Blood Bowl, Nobbla Blackwart has been on the scene for nearly three decades.*
Nobbla’s been strangely absent from the astrogranite for the last few years, leaving the chainsawing to the lesser likes of Helmut Wolf and Max Spleenripper. But you can’t keep a good gobbo down – and the OG on-field looney is back with a fabulous new resin model from Forge World and a little extra foul play.
He’s pretty tasty for a Goblin too – Block and Dodge make him that much harder to put down, while his unique Star Player rule is called Kick ‘em while they’re down! Once per game, he can chainsaw a prone opponent without it counting as a foul – a useful way of making sure that Big Guy stays down.
Nobbla can play for Badlands Brawl and Underworld Challenge teams. He’s not the only legend of the Goblin game returning either – keep an eye out for Scrappa Sorehead, another classic grot who’ll be bounding back onto the pitch before too long.
* After all, his last model was released in 1994.
