This issue’s Guest Editor Harold Haroldson descends from the frigid north to bring a Spike! Journal filled with boozy boars and some icy slip-’n’-slide gameplay. That’s right, this issue brings the Norse Team to your games of Blood Bowl!
This journal covers the history, rules, and rosters of the Norse team. Alongside tales of booze, bone-breaking tackles, and a few incidents of accidentally freezing to death, you’ll find the fantastic fun and essential commentary you’ve come to expect from Spike! Journal. As such, this magazine is the perfect companion for any cold-loving coach.
