The High Elves are known for their love of expensive things. Their Blood Bowl stadia are no different, with nobles eagerly erecting marble edifices in an attempt to outdo their neighbours. No expense is spared – concession stands stock the finest fast foods, tuxedo-sporting familiars deliver drink orders directly to the stands, and Cabalvision screens showcase action replays of the best passes. This set contains a double-sided, fold-out card Blood Bowl pitch, depicting the home stadium of a High Elf team. One side features beautiful marble flooring, polished to perfection, while the other shows perfectly manicured grass. You'll also find a pair of matching double-sided Dugouts to complete the theme. Each Dugout features score, turn, and Re-roll trackers, plus Reserves, Knocked-out, and Casualty boxes. This pitch and Dugouts set is only available while stocks last. The pitch measures 906mm by 538mm when fully opened, with reinforced folds, while the two Dugouts each measure 302mm by 135mm. Rules for using each side of the pitch in your games of Blood Bowl are included – you can also find these rules in Spike! Journal: Issue 21 or in the High Elf Team Reference Card Pack, both of which are available separately.

Whilst the propaganda headlines may well have gone to the big cats such as the Panther and the Tiger, the Panzer IV was the backbone of German armoured capability throughout the war. You can choose to build your Panzer IV as one of three different variants: The short-barrelled Ausf. F1.The long-barrelled Ausf. G with its distinctive ball muzzle brake. Respectfully known by British forces in the desert campaign as the 'Mark 4 Special' it saw action in the Western Desert and the Russian Front primarily.The Ausf H with its new muzzle brake and protective schürzen side skirts. A regular sight on late war battlefields, the Ausf H is one of the iconic Panzers of the war.The iconic German tank of the Second World War, the Panzer IV fought from the invasion of Poland to the fall of Berlin. The Panzer IV was constantly updated, with its sound design giving it a longevity well beyond that of its contemporaries. By mid-war it was packing a deadly long-barrelled 75mm gun, giving it great hitting power and better mobility and its armour had been doubled in places greatly increasing its survivability. By the time of massive battles in Russia in middle of the war the Pz IV was also carrying the detachable screen side armour known as schürzen. This was in response to the threat posed by Russian anti-tank rifles and, latterly, by Allied hollow charge bazooka style weapons. This is the backbone of the Panzer regiments! As with the other Bolt Action plastic vehicles, this kit is highly detailed yet easy to build. It provides a rugged gaming piece and will also appeal to painters and modellers. The Panzer IV comes with a comprehensive waterslide decal sheet, allowing you to finish your new tank off perfectly!

The T-34 tank design is arguably the most important tank of all time with over 84,000 made and innovative design features. The T-34/76 first saw action in late 1941, and was a significant leap forward in tank design – a rugged, no-nonsense anatomy and wide tracks enabled it to cope with the mud and snow of the Eastern Front. It married the perfect combination of thick, sloped armour and an efficient gun, along with extreme sturdiness, reliability, ease of manufacturing and maintenance. German tanks struggled in the cold conditions of the Eastern Front – the rubber peeling away from the road wheels, engines being slow to start and needing to be slowly warmed-up, machine guns jamming constantly, and the narrow tracks of the Panzer III and IV causing them to sink into the snow and mud. The T-34s ran circles around the struggling German hardware – especially as the Luftwaffe was more often than not grounded due to the bad weather, so couldn't harry the Soviets. This kit allows you the option of assembling the tank as either the 1941, 1942, or 1943 pattern T-34/76 – each with their distinctive turrets. Box contains: 1 plastic tankConstruction leafletDecal sheetBolt Action stat cardVehicle damage markers

The most produced Cruiser tank of the European theatre! Armed with a potent 75mm gun and with good cross country performance this vehicle was more than a match for the venerable Panzer IV! Though sadly it was still outclassed by the German "Big Cats" Cromwells were used in the 7th armoured division and in the armoured recce regts of the Guards and 11th Armoured Divisions. Even the 6th Airborne armoured recce regt acquired about 8 Cromwells in Normandy and kept hold of them during the Winter fighting in "The Bulge". Normally a troop would comprise 3 Cromwells and a Firefly. The new kit includes an optional Culin Prong hedgerow cutter for those of you wanting to burst through the Normandy bocage! It also comes with a full-colour waterslide decal sheet with many options in terms of the formation you can build - British, Canadian and Polish units are included.
