Yeah, that’s Norse yhetee, if that’s already in production a team must be too; it’s not very likely that they would make a model for a unique Big Guy without one. Either way, some Norse love might actually shut up some of the “waah, ToL are abandoned” types I’ve seen about the place.

Makes me wonder why they didn't show off the team a few days back at that livestream. Would've saved the whole thing from being a disappointment if you ask me. Maybe now that this has leaked though we will get an article this coming week....if GW is feeling generous.

Probably thought they had enough to discuss for Las Vegas and were holding onto Norse for the next big event. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if they have Norse teams sat in the warehouse now or arriving in the next few weeks. Will be interesting to see if they drop the news sooner given that it's leaked or whether they hold off for their original date. I suspect the latter - you don't want a marketing period that's so long that the hype dies down months before the products release, I doubt they could stretch Norse news to last more than 3/4 articles.

Yahtee star player?

Or just a generic yhetee.

Pretty cool either way. Keep an eye on Warhammer Community this week then; there will likely be an “emergency preview” article like they did for the Praetor.

Fo sho

That Yhetee looks very Privateer Pressque.

Still, plastic Norsemen done to the standard of the other Chaos teams can only be a good thing. There's never enough generic Marauders to go around, especially if they can fit a Norsewoman in there too.

Of course it would be the one ToL I have zero interest in (and is most similar to the recent Khorne release). Ah well, here;s hoping the next next release will offer something a little different.

Did Forge World hire an Ex-Mantic sculptor?

Why would it be for Norse and not ogres? I can’t speak for blood bowl, but yhetees are an ogre unit

Not in Blood Bowl.

I'm hopeful it is the norse coming, and that thier design will work well for marauders. *fingers crossed*

Yhetee Sighting Confirmed! But What’s He Doing at a Stadium? - WarCom

Well, that’s the first Yhetee model which hasn’t sucked.

It's been a while, but I thought the Norse team had "Snow Trolls".

That Yhetee is so much better than the old Ogres ones.

Cool model

I am so excited about Norse leaving Teams of Legend and getting proper minis and rules. Been sitting on a box of Greebo Norse for a while now, and if they don't mess with the team positionals too much I am ready to build them and get playing.

On a side note this may bode well for new Yhetees when the Ogre dex comes out

If anyone was on the fence about Dungeon Bowl due to cost, Element Games currently has it in the clearance section for £61.75, so a decent chunk off the RRP of £95.

Thanks, it's very tempting.

Not sure if any Aussies noticed yet but this weekends Blood Bowl releases in Australia have gone up slightly from previous prices.

The Wood Elves pitch is now $84 (other pitches are $78), Wood Elves card pack is now $49 (other card packs are $43), the dice though are the same as existing dice at $34.

Only mentioned this as it's now March and the new price structure comes into effect. Although GW said Aus, NZ, Japan and China would not get a price hike on existing kits etc, there were a few customers who could foresee any 'new' releases probably would go up. Even if they were re-releases or repackaged etc.

Anyway it's not a huge amount to go up but I think pretty much confirms any new Blood Bowl 'teams' will go up for sure. Like the Norse coming this year. Interesting. I wonder how much they'll go up, 20-25% like other countries or just a few dollars like the pitches and cards.

It happened last week with the Eldar release. They were all suddenly higher than previous equivalents (Maugan Ra being $77 rather than $70 like previous special characters).

So what GW said about our prices not going up was technically true - anything that was out is staying the same - but all future releases are getting the same 5%-25% bump that the rest of the world are getting.

But GW have a Facebook page now, so it's ok!

Thorsson Stoutmead - new Norse star player, via Forge World

I wonder what poor sod did they get to paint his pubes poking out of his pants.

Mate. It’s belly hair. Linked to pubes sure, but no more pubes than other non-groinal body hair.

Interesting Star Player. It's a nice figure for sure. Definitely matches the rest of the teams vibe.

Just can't help thinking the Norse team have become beer swilling idiots lol. All the kegs, tankards, random or possible random rules. Really curious now how the team positionals shape up rules wise.

Remember when the Khorne team was released there were FW star players, pitches, dice everything really all at the same time? So when this Norse preview says 'Thorsson Stoutmead will be available to pre-order from Forge World soon' would it be right thinking everything gets released the same time too?
Maybe the team will be out sooner rather than later.

If this team sells as popularly as expected I wonder if in 6mths time or so there's a change in its tier level. That is if it's still going to be tier 1 on release.

Btw for AUS I heard the Norse team might be priced around $84 - $87au. Bit of a jump from the existing kits at $63 but then it does have 14 players and those beer pigs are really cute.

All BB teams got the sharp end of the recent price increases. I would expect the base plastic kit to be the same price as everyone else’s but the FW extras are anyone’s guess at this point.

As for the release all being on one day like the Khorne team? I hope so. Remember that the Yhetee is also out there and looks fantastic.
