Welcome to the October issue of This Month In Blood Bowl blog. The main big news is that the Blood Bowl Second Season Edition release from Games Workshop has been confirmed for November, so not too long to wait. The World continues to struggle with the current pandemic but his has not stopped Blood Bowlers from enjoying the game however they can.
Lots going on this month so lets get going…
Enjoy!
Games Workshop Preview – Gridiron and Glory
Games Workshop held another live preview via Twitch on 17th October. Normally these are full of space giants and god like creatures. But this one was dedicated to some of the other boxed games including Blood Bowl. The upcoming Blood Bowl Second Season Edition was again shown, with the presenters both having a copy (lucky them).
But we did get our first look at the two referee models which will be included in box set but far more importantly the we now know it is coming in November!!!
