Prepare yourselves, Blood Bowl fans, as the astrogranite is about to feel the bone-crushing presence of the Drakfang Thirsters, a team of formidable Vampires ready to bring their insatiable thirst for blood to the pitch. In this thrilling expansion, we’ll explore the expanded roster of the Vampire team, introducing new positionals, formidable Star Players, and a monstrous addition that will send shivers down your spine.
Evolution of the Vampire Team
While Thralls remain the lifeblood of the Vampire team, the roster has undergone a significant transformation. Now, alongside your trusty Thralls, you have access to positionals, including Runners, Throwers, and Blitzers. Each of these positionals embodies a perfect blend of skill, strength, and agility, promising a well-rounded and versatile team.
Enter the Vargheist
If you’re looking to add some serious bite to your Vampire team, look no further than the Vargheist. This menacing addition boasts high Strength and Frenzy, making it a relentless threat on the pitch. However, be cautious not to fall prey to its Bloodlust (3+), a challenge that will test the resilience of your Thralls like never before.
Introducing Star Players
The Vampires are also introducing two Star Players, available for any Sylvanian Spotlight teams. The first newcomer is ‘Captain’ Karina von Riesz. With impressive attributes like Dodge, agility, and Jump Up, she becomes a formidable scoring threat with a Movement Allowance (MA) of 7. Her unique ability allows her to treat an opponent as her own Thrall once per game, turning the Vampires’ notorious Bloodlust weakness into a game-changing advantage.
Count Luthor von Drakenborg Returns
Count Luthor von Drakenborg, a beloved Blood Bowl superstar, makes his triumphant return with his first new miniature in two decades. Count Luthor is a true powerhouse. Not only is he immune to Bloodlust, but he also possesses remarkable speed, strength, and agility. With skills like Block and Sidestep, he’s a relentless presence on the field. As a bonus, his special rule grants you an additional team re-roll, further enhancing your team’s tactical capabilities.
Availability and Excitement
These three incredible additions, made from high-quality resin, will soon be available from Forge World. Stay tuned for the release date announcement, and get ready to enhance your Vampire team’s prowess with these fearsome Star Players and the monstrous Vargheist.
The Drakfang Thirsters are set to redefine Vampire play in Blood Bowl, and you won’t want to miss out on their deadly charm. Prepare for a season of thrilling matches and unforgettable moments with these new additions to your roster.
