Forge World: Deepwood Strongbranch & Déorwine Minis Available
Come take a look at the latest from Forgeworld, to liven up your Blood Bowl and Middle Earth games.
Deepwood Strongbranch $62
A classic Star Player is reborn, or rather he’s so ancient he just grew a bit larger and more imposing. He’s one of the largest Big Guys available to any team, and the fact he stands with Halflings only makes him more impressive. Though his services don’t come cheap for an up-and-coming team, if you want to win with the Greenfield Grasshuggers you’ll find his strength and toughness too tempting to pass up.
This finely-detailed resin model is supplied in 25 components, including a 40mm round base. You’ll enjoy looking for tiny details tucked away in various nooks and crannies, hinting at both his venerable history, and the forests he calls home. Deeproot Strongbranch is only available to play for Halfling teams. You can find all the rules you need to use him in your games of Blood Bowl in the 5th issue of Spike! Journal.
Déorwine, Chief of the King’s Knights, Foot and Mounted $39
Unwaveringly loyal, Déorwine is the Chief of the King’s Knights – the royal bodyguards of Théoden. Déorwine accompanied his liege to the Battle of Pelennor Fields, and joined the glorious charge of the Rohirrim that smashed aside all who stood in their path.
As a Hero of Fortitude, Déorwine can command a warband of up to 12 followers (some Rohan Royal Guard would be perfect!). He is among the most capable fighters in the Rohan army, well armoured, and can be fielded on foot or on horseback. Déorwine works especially well alongside King Théoden, as he can call a Heroic Combat for free to protect his liege in battle.
These miniatures come as 15 components, and are supplied with a Citadel 25mm Round base and a Citadel 40mm Round base, which includes a textured base topper featuring a battlefield littered with discarded weapons. Rules for Déorwine can be found in the Gondor at War supplement.
~Blood Bowl is looking better and better these days.
