Blood Bowl (Second Season Edition): Spike! Journal #12

The exalted (and fabulously wealthy) Lord Baltazär Krüssenfalt Schweiger III guest edits this doubly exciting issue of Spike! Journal. It covers both Imperial Nobility and Black Orc teams to celebrate their stunning showing in the XL Blood Bowl final.

This 36-page magazine pulls double duty, covering the history, rules, and rosters of both the Imperial Nobility and Black Orc teams. Packed with all the fantastic fun and essential commentary you've come to expect from Spike! Journal, this magazine is the perfect companion for the savvy coach.
