This stretches as far as the rosters and star players, each presented in the style of an in universe magazine rather than simply a suppliment! This is great fun and really captures the humour of the game – Blood Bowl never took itself too seriously and its hilarious to see these fictional histories, joke names and learn about the comedy antics that happen during major games!Įach of the Spike! magazines contained within here also get some additional game content tied to that specific team. If you have not read a Spike! magazine before then these all follow a similar format with an in-universe history of each of these teams and players along with interviews, match highlights and game histories much in the style of a real sports magazine. Well, as mentioned earlier the majority of the book is a reprint of the last 3 Spike! Magazines covering the Necromantic Horror, Imperial Nobility, Black Orcs and Khorne. I feel it’s worth pointing out here that if you already have those 3 Spike! Magazines then you already have the majority of the page count of this book, with the new things added to the back accounting for 40 pages of content out of the 160 page count – But for hardcore Blood Bowl fans this additional stuff combined with the nice hardback format can make this something they want to add to their collection. This is presented in an attractive hardback format rather than the paperback style of individual issues. Spike! Almanac 2021 gathers together the last 3 Spike! releases, the Necromantic Horror, Imperial Nobility & Black Orc, and the latest Khorne issue and combines it with some new content exclusive to the book.
So while we do get rules and tactics for the team in question, you also get fictional history, interviews, comic strips and general Blood Bowl wackiness! Spike! is how Games Workshop release a “Codex” for Blood Bowl, but rather than the format of books for other systems, Spike! is quite fun in it’s approach acting as sort of an in-universe fanzine for the team featured.
If you are new to Blood Bowl, then the Spike! Almanac is a (mostly) annual book from Games Workshop that gathers together that year’s Spike! Magazine releases.
