Grab your helmets, polish your boots, and bribe your referees — the Third Season of Blood Bowl has officially opened for pre-orders!
Games Workshop is bringing back the world’s most violent sport in its most polished, hilarious, and chaotic form yet, complete with new teams, slicker rules, and more accessories than a Goblin’s gear bag.
🏆 Blood Bowl – Third Season Edition Box Set
Blitz straight into the action with a brand-new core box bursting with everything you need for a full season of carnage.
Inside you’ll find:
- A 200-page hardcover rulebook, completely updated for the new season.
- Double-sided pitch and dugouts, one side for the knights of Bretonnia and the other for the undead sands of Nehekhara.
- 37 new metallic-finish game tokens to track injuries, stuns, and “creative interpretations” of the rules.
- Dice, range rulers, templates, and cheat sheets — everything a proper coach needs to pretend they’re not cheating.
- 2 complete teams, Brionne Barons (Bretonia) and Nehekhara Nightmares (Tomb Kings).
The new edition refines, not reboots, the game. Expect faster play, cleaner language, and better layouts. Less rule confusion, more touchdowns, and (of course) more blood.
⚜️ The Brionne Barons – Honour, Steel, and Questionable Sportsmanship
From the glittering courts of Bretonnia ride the Brionne Barons, a new team of gallant (and slightly pompous) knights ready to trade lances for blitzes.
Inside the team box:
- 12 multipart plastic players:
- 6 Squire Linemen
- 2 Knight Catchers
- 2 Knight Throwers
- 2 Grail Knight Blitzers
- 2 double-sided team coins
- 2 Turn & Re-roll markers
- 4 themed balls
- Bretonnian transfer sheet with 320 individual decals
Their playstyle: bold, risky, and theatrical — exactly how Bretonnians like their sports.
🏺 The Nehekhara Nightmares – The Undead Return to the Gridiron
Straight from the deserts of death, the Nehekhara Nightmares rise again to reclaim their ancient glory. They may be dusty, but they still hit like an avalanche of bone and bandages.
Inside the team box:
- 14 multipart plastic players:
- 2 Blitzers
- 2 Throwers
- 4 Tomb Guardians
- 6 Skeleton Linemen
- 2 double-sided team coins
- 2 Turn & Re-roll markers
- 4 themed balls
- Tomb Kings transfer sheet with 298 individual decals
Powerful, disciplined, and impossible to kill twice.

- 5 Eye Gouge tokens
- 4 Chomped tokens
- 2 Rooted tokens

🏟️ Double-Sided Pitch & Dugout Sets
Bring your team’s home turf to life with two new pitch sets:
- Bretonnian Field – A castle courtyard lined with fleur-de-lis and cracked flagstones.
- Tomb Kings Arena – An ancient tomb pitch with a haunted “Wailing Souls” variant on the reverse.
Each comes with matching dugouts to track reserves, re-rolls, knock-outs, and your moral decay.
📇 Team Reference Card Packs
Streamline your play and ditch the rulebook-flipping with these packs for Bretonnian and Tomb Kings teams.
Each pack includes:
- 4 Player Reference Cards
- 16 Blank Player Cards
- 4 Ball & Pitch Special Rule Cards
- 2 Skill Reference Cards
Because every second you save looking up a rule is another second to foul the opponent.
🎲 Team Dice Sets
No match is complete without your lucky dice!
Each 7-dice set includes:
- 3 Block dice
- 2 standard D6s
- 1 Scatter D8
- 1 D16
Bretonnian dice swirl in regal red and white, while the Tomb Kings bring gold and turquoise fit for the gods themselves.
📰 Spike! Journal Issues 19 & 20
The sport’s favourite magazine returns with two brand-new issues:
- Spike! #19 – Focused on the Brionne Barons and the Blood Bowl scene in Bretonnia.
- Spike! #20 – Spotlight on the Tomb Kings and their undead leagues.
Both issues include rules for their home stadiums, themed league cups, and the usual features: Mindy Piewhistle’s gossip column and the always-entertaining Chat with the Rat.
The Third Season is here to stay — refined, rebalanced, and ready to break bones in style.
Whether you fight for honour in Bretonnia or immortality in Nehekhara, it’s time to step back onto the pitch.
