Blood Bowl III is still very much rolling, and the just-arrived season 6 is loaded up with two new teams, the Goblins and the Halflings.

Two big little teams have just arrived for Cyanide Studio and NACON’s latest adaptation of Warhammer’s fantasy football, Blood Bowl III. As you can see from the headline, those would be the Goblin and Halfling squads, which both bring teams that are short on overall height, but sport some dangerous members with Treemen and Trolls.

• Halflings, a big team in a small package!
  The modest size of the Halflings presents a number of disadvantages during Blood Bowl matches, including added difficulty in receiving or throwing the ball, their slower speed and relative weakness when it comes to blocking their opponents. However, they can count on a formidable asset: their robust Treemen teammates. Although they are not one of the most competitive teams in the game, the Halflings faction is without any doubt one of the most fun to play, and is sure to delight any coach desperately seeking a challenge, to show off the extent of their tactical skills!
• Play the originality card by picking the Goblins!
  The Goblins faction is renowned for its juvenile sense of humour and exuberant creativity when it comes to finding innovative ways of harming the opposition, by fair means or foul, without suffering any retaliation. Goblins can also call on an inexhaustible supply of “secret” weapons, as well as on the assistance of brutish Trolls, who can throw their smaller teammates up the field. All of which might not make them one of the best-performing teams, but definitely one of the most entertaining!

NACON press release

Season 6 is out right now for Blood Bowl III, and so is a special event. Players who grab the DLC can dig into a ‘Goblins vs. Halflings’ event, showcasing predetermined teams tussling a a part of the Olde World’s legendary rivalry.

To mark the arrival of these two new factions, Season 6 is offering a special event enabling players to experience the Goblins-Halflings rivalry for themselves, by coaching one of the two factions and facing off against the other, with predefined teams! Meanwhile, this season features new Star Players. A whole set of adjustments aimed at improving the gameplay is also being rolled out, such as changes to the Official Ladder rules, enhanced matchmaking or the option to transfer cosmetic items from one unit in a faction to the same unit in another faction. For example, a helmet worn by a Goblin in the Goblin team can also be used by a Goblin in the Orcs team. Furthermore, new player profile customisation options will be added as the season progresses.
