Norse Blood Bowl Team: Norsca Rampagers $50
Norse teams enjoy nothing more than a good scrap – and that’s certainly how they perform best on the pitch! Norscans have spent their entire lives in the harsh, freezing north, making them quite a tough bunch. These hardened players excel in getting up close and personal with the opposition, throwing blocks left and right as they mercilessly hammer their way to the end zone – and no doubt the tavern that lies beyond!
Of course, it’s not only about causing a punch-up in the middle of the gridiron; there is also the small matter of scoring those all-important touchdowns. Norse teams work best when they can use their abundance of hitting power to punch a hole in the opposition’s defence, allowing their Valkyries to use their impressive speed to run through and claim victory.
The multi-part kit is comprised of 120 plastic components with which you can assemble the Norsca Rampagers, a Norse team for use in games of Blood Bowl. The team is made up of 6 Norse Raider Linemen, 2 Beer Boar, 2 Norse Berserkers, 2 Ulfwereners and 2 Valkyries. In addition, there are 2 double-sided Blood Bowl coins, 2 turn and re-roll markers, 4 balls, and a transfer sheet with 292 decals.
The rules for using Norse teams in your games of Blood Bowl can be found in Spike! Journal 14. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.

Norse Pitch – Double-sided Pitch and Dugouts Set $50
There are few grand stadia in Norsca, for most of the Blood Bowl pitches in that icy land are loosely constructed on fjords, frozen lakes, or wind-battered tundra. Playing in such hostile conditions presents many unique dangers to Blood Bowl players – from spectacularly skidding and face-planting on the frigid pitch, to falling through the ice itself! Players will need to tread carefully on this dangerous skating rink, or risk the chilling waters below.
The Frozen Lake pitch has two sides – one depicting the pitch in fair weather, with the lake covered in a thick sheet of ice. The other side depicts the pitch after some disaster or another has caused the ice to break apart, exposing the freezing waters below.
You’ll also find a pair of matching double-sided dugouts to complete the theme. Each dugout features score, turn, and re-roll trackers, plus Reserves, Knocked-out, and Casualty boxes.
Rules for using each side of the pitch in your games of Blood Bowl are included.

Thorsson Stoutmead $33
Also known as the Beer-Barrel-Bowling Bombardier, Thorsson Stoutmead’s ability to drink is matched only by his ability to knock his opponents over. He has truly mastered the art of emptying barrels of ale and hurling them at the opposition. Thorsson’s drinking habits are starting to get the better of him, however, as the beer belly stretching his tight uniform can attest.
Thorsson Stoutmead’s unique once-per-drive special rule, Beer Barrel Bash, allows him to perform a Throw Keg Special action, tossing his emptied barrel at an opponent to leave them Knocked Down (and stinking of booze). Beware, though – a roll of 1 causes Thorsson himself to be Knocked Down, as he fails his throw in a drunken stupor.
This finely-detailed resin miniature is supplied as nine components and comes with a 32mm Blood Bowl Round Base. All the rules you need to use Thorsson Stoutmead are included in the pack, and can also be found in Blood Bowl Spike! Journal Issue 14.
This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel paints.
Ivar Eriksson $33
Ivar always seemed destined for life on the gridiron. Even as a youngster he could be found practicing with a ball or tackling his friends – whether they wanted it or not! This ultimately led to Ivar being signed by his boyhood favourite team, the Norsca Rampagers, at the tender age of 16.
Though he may be a calm and collected individual on the pitch, that doesn’t make Ivar any less of a threat. Now in his prime, Ivar has become an imposing physical specimen, able to punch, scrap, and brawl with the very best the game has to offer. His once-per-drive signature ability, Raiding Party, allows a nearby Open player on his team to make a hasty move – meaning the ‘War Raider’ can quickly seize control of the pitch.
This finely-detailed resin miniature is supplied as seven components and comes with a 32mm Blood Bowl Round Base. All the rules you need to use Ivar Eriksson are included in the pack, and can also be found in Blood Bowl Spike! Journal Issue 14.
This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel paints.
Skrorg Snowpelt $40
Skrorg was once so wild and bloodthirsty that he needed to be sent to Rockbeard’s Rage Rehab to turn his life around. After his rehabilitation, Skrorg emerged back onto the pitch as a changed Yhetee – instead of butchering teammates, Skrorg now opts to follow tactics, a team player through and through.
This level-headed, well-groomed creature loves nothing more than playing to the adoration of the crowds. Unlike other Yhetees, Skrorg opts to take good care of his luxurious coat, ensuring it is carefully treated and combed to perfection. His special rule, Pump Up the Crowd, allows Skrorg to bask in the bloodthirsty cheers when he removes an enemy as a Casualty with a Block action – and gain a team re-roll into the bargain!
This finely-detailed resin miniature is supplied as 10 components and comes with a 40mm Blood Bowl Round Base. All the rules you need to use Skrorg Snowpelt are included in the pack, and can also be found in Blood Bowl Spike! Journal Issue 14.
This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel paints.
Blood Bowl Yhetee $40
One of the great mysteries of Norse teams is how they ever managed to convince the blood-crazed and savage Yhetees to play Blood Bowl. That said, fans of Norse teams are too enthralled by the displays of Yhetee brutality to ask many questions! These hulking, muscular beasts are equipped with dagger-like teeth and rending claws and, of course, an unkempt mane of white fur – perfect for blending into a mid-game snowstorm and catching an unsuspecting ball carrier off-guard.
This finely-detailed resin miniature is supplied in seven components, and comes with a 40mm Blood Bowl Round Base.
Rules for the Yhetee can be found in the Norse Blood Bowl Team: The Norsca Rampagers construction guide and in Blood Bowl Spike! Journal Issue 14. Rules for using the Yhetee in Dungeon Bowl can only be found in Blood Bowl Spike! Journal Issue 14.
This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel paints.
