We're Futbowel Crazy, We're Futbowel Mad!

As the first year of the Great Dwarven War draws to a close in the trenches of the Môn-Gerahnt Line, Orc and Dwarf soldiers settle down to celebrate Hognachtswatch. As both sides scoff their stollen or figgy pudding, some overly excited Orcs accidentally boot a futbowel across No Man's Land into the Dwarven trenches. Waiting for the expected response of machine-gun fire the Orcs are surprised when a voice calls out...

“Oi Orcy, doz youz fancy a game?”


Panzerfäuste Futbowel is a stand alone beer and pretzels game allowing you to replay the impromptu games of futbowel played in No Mans Land between the Orcs and Dwarves on Hognachtswatch. See how many goals you can score before High Command stops the fraternising by launching an artillery barrage and watch out for unexploded bombs when playing...

Panzerfäuste Futbowel will be released on 1st December 2016 containing a rulebook, 11 Orc futbowelers, 11 Dwarf futbowelers, a Gnome referee, 4 goal posts and a futbowel. The games normal RRP will be £50, but if you pre-order before 1st December you can grab a copy for £40.


As well as being used for playing games of futbowel, the figures can be used as POW's or unarmed troops in Panzerfäuste games and the goal posts as graves or objective markers. Additional teams can be purchased for £25, but if pre-ordered before 1st December will cost you just £20. 


You can pre-order Panzerfäuste Futbowel right now here.

Post-Kickstarter Update XXIV: Deathless Zombi, Command and Support

From the frozen north come the Deathless marching onto your tabletops...

Well Panzerfäusters we have some good news and some not so good news and some teasing news...
The Good News:
We have shipped out LOTS of wave two pledges, with a pile more to go early next week once Rob and Vince return from the show in Derby this weekend. The Deathless Zombi, Command, Support and Brute are now all moulded and being cast up at a rate of knots. If you have opted for Wave Two and picked Deathless, here are some pics Vince took yesterday in the workshop of what you're going to be getting...

 The Not So Good News:
The Troglodytes need some more work on them to allow us to mould them. Rob will be working on fixing the 3D prints next week then getting them moulded and cast asap. This isn't a complicated job, just one that eats time.
We have been having some issues with the Gnomes, especially the separate arms, and have decided that they would work better with the arms cast in white metal. This is going to delay the Gnome Command and Support packs a little whilst we get the bits moulded, but we think it is the right decision to make. The Voltigeurs will also see their arms replaced with metal ones.
The Teasing News:
Well no one worked out the forthcoming product tease in the last update, so here is another...


We are hoping to release this product in November to enable Ol'Piggy to bring you one for Hognachtswatch! :-)
In Other News:
It is great to see what gamers around the world are doing with their Panzerfäuste miniatures and we hope you have all joined the Panzerfäuste Facebook Group where you will have seen photos of Robyn's latest models posted from Australia. Her Zinn Mann here has a magnet in its neck to allow the optional head to be swapped with the regular one, and another in his arm that allows Hansi the cat to sit on it without falling off...


More news soon Panzerfäuste fans...
