Blood Bowl (2016 Edition): Spike! Journal #8 (2019)

Giới thiệu

Join editor Christoph Pololio on a journey into the Ogre Kingdoms, as he explores the unique culture of the nomadic tribes – and just why they’re drawn so strongly to Blood Bowl. Whilst Ogres are happy to play with other teams for the pure love of lifestyle of violence, money, and free food that accompanies it, they occasionally form their very own teams to show everyone else how it’s done.

This issue of Spike! Journal is stuffed full of all the goodies you need to play these meaty beasts in your games of Blood Bowl. You’ll also find rules for hiring actual giants on any team!
