Two new lines have landed at Battlegrounds: Palladium roleplaying games and World of Warcraft Miniatures Game! Palladium offers great titles like Rifts, Ninjas & Superspies, and the new Dead Reign zombie survival RPG. World of Warcraft Miniatures features characters from every class available in the World of WarCraft computer game, including signature heroes like Warchief Thrall, Leeroy Jenkins, High Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind, and Archmage Arugal. Times up, let’s do this!
In a move that has surprised coaches and players around the Battlegrounds Blood Bowl League, D.O.A. head coach Jordan Bassett has engaged his team in a cross-promotional effort where they are taking part as the chorus line in a cabaret show called “Zombie Jamboree” with Calypso legend Harry Belafonte in Branson, Missouri (see picture below from a recent rehearsal and be sure to click on the play button for the titular music). When asked about the move, coach Bassett (in a lavender unitard and drinking a Tab cola) appeared incredulous. “I don’t understand why people are surprised by this. Zombies and Calypso music are deeply rooted in Afro-Caribbean culture so having our team perform as dancers in a Calypso cabaret was inevitable. Besides, it’s a morale booster. Our whole roster is very dejected at the recent death of Michael Jackson. We needed this to lift spirits, no pun intended.”

From Games Workshop: Planetstrike is a game of glorious invasions and desperate last stands set in the battle-ravaged universe of the 41st Millennium. Will you take the role of the defender, repelling the enemy’s vanguard with heavy weaponry and heavier fortifications? Or will you play the attacker, raining hellfire and damnation upon the foe before sending an army of your best troops to claim the smoking remains of his strongholds? This is truly a war on all fronts in which the enemy can appear at any time, from anywhere – especially from above!
This 80-page expansion book contains all of the rules and information you need to play games of Planetstrike; including: full rules for configuring your forces for planetary invasion, a full-colour hobby section on preparing your defences, and a comprehensive background section detailing some of the most infamous planetary assaults.
