The Island of Blood “Read this first” booklet differs quite substantially from the one included with the old Battle for Skull pass, rather than a series of introductory scenarios it includes a broader introduction to the Warhammer hobby.

So the miniatures are brilliant, what about the other contents of the boxed set? Well, for a start we get the 184 page pocket-sized Warhammer rulebook I’ve been looking forward to, I’ve been having to visit my chiropractor on a weekly basis while carrying the huge 528 page hardback rulebook from game to game. To put it another way the miniatures in the Island of Blood are easily worth the asking price on their own. Games Workshop have produced some high quality models here that are easily of equal quality to their regular plastics, not something that could have been said about the Battle for Skull Pass. I was also very impressed with the imaginative ways that the more complicated models fitted together, particularly the the High Elf Prince on Griffon, the High Elf Mage & the Ellyrian Reavers.

Oddly enough it was some of the simpler models that needed a touch of glue to stay together, the arms some times falling off the Skaven Clanrats. While cutting the miniatures from the sprues I was genuinely impressed with the quality of the sculpts, these models are far superior to those included in the old Battle for Skull Pass boxed set, the Warhammer 7th Ed starter set.īuilding the models was simplicity itself, as it should be in a starter set, the push fit working very well on most models.

Read on to find out… Casting my eyes over the sprues it is also immediately apparent that you are getting quality in the Island of Blood as well as quantity.
