Mixed teams are found throughout the Blood Bowl leagues, uniting players from a variety of races and cultures on the pitch. Old World Alliance teams like the Middenheim Maulers are drawn from great cities across the Empire, Estalia, Kislev, and beyond. These bustling streets are packed with cosmopolitan Humans, Dwarfs, and Halflings, ready to be forged into winning teams that are greater than the sum of their parts.

Old World Alliance teams boast a flexible roster of Humans, Dwarfs, and Halflings. Each of these groups brings their own innate talents to the pitch – Human flexibility, Dwarfen toughness, and Halfling, er… greasy slipperiness? Cooking skills? If you're looking to cover classic weaknesses, discover new tactical opportunities, and face fresh challenges of co-operation, look no further than the Old World Alliance.

This multipart plastic kit builds an Old World Alliance team of 15 players for games of Blood Bowl. Using components from the existing Human, Dwarf, and Halfling team sets, you'll be able to build 3 Halfling Hopefuls, 3 Human Linemen, 1 Human Blitzer, 1 Human Thrower, 1 Human Catcher, 3 Dwarf Blockers, 1 Dwarf Runner, 1 Dwarf Blitzer, and 1 Dwarf Troll Slayer. Some of these players include cosmetic options such as different heads to help you customise your own team. The box also includes six balls, two double-sided Blood Bowl coins, and two turn markers – split evenly between Dwarf and Human designs – and a sheet of Old World Alliance transfers with team logos, numbers, and positionals.

This kit comprises 73 plastic components, and comes with 15x Citadel 32mm Round Bases as well as an Old World Alliance Transfer Sheet. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

The rules to use Old World Alliance teams in your games of Blood Bowl can be found in Blood Bowl – The Official Rules.

Games Workshop have two broad methods for painting their models. Both are entirely viable options, though have significant differences in the paints required (detailed below). You can find all of the required paints in the 'recommended paint' section below, whether you simply want to get it out onto the tabletop ASAP (i.e. 'Battle Ready'), or want to take your time and make it a masterpiece (i.e. 'Parade Ready'):

1. Classic Method - uses acrylic paints to build layers of colour and depth. Usually topped off with a shade paint to really make the shadows pop. Probably the most beginner friendly method as mistakes are often easy to fix.

2. Contast Method - uses ink-like contrast painsts which sink into recesses, providing depth in highlights and shadows with a single layer of paint. It can take some practise to get this method to look great, but it's highly satisfying when it does work. Less forgiving when mistakes happen, though arguably the quicker method of the two options.
