SAVE 25% ON DREADBALL TEAMS* UNTIL MONDAY

Although there's only one sporting event to care about this Saturday - the DreadBall UK Championships - we must admit we're getting a little carried away with England's progress in the World Cup.

So to celebrate England's Quarter Final match on Saturday, you can SAVE 25% ON DREADBALL TEAMS* AND THE COLLECTOR'S RULEBOOK until Monday. Just use the code ENGLANDQUARTER on the Mantic website at checkout.

THE GALAXY'S GREATEST SPORTS GAME

This month, four DreadBall Team return to the circuit to score some points and crack some heads. The newly repackaged Bremlin Nebulas (Kalyshi), Glambek Ghosts(Ada-Lorana), Sulentic Shards (Crystallans), and Fran-Taar Philosphers (Tsudochan) are now available to pre-order from the Mantic Website.

Each of these team boxes now includes a reference sheet, with your team's stats and rules clearly laid out for use in your games. There's also a Team Captain, with their own stat card and a deck of captain cards - a new feature of second edition that gives your captain new abilities on the pitch.

You can check out all of the teams below, or follow the link to pre-order yours!

BREMLIN NEBULAS

The Kalyshi choose to play DreadBall in especially light armour, which enhances their preternatural agility. They run rings round their opponent on the pitch, before striking like an arrow to the heart.

The Kalyshi's agility makes up for their slight frames and low armour. They are vicious fighters, able to run around or jump over opposing players, before striking them like a sharpened blade. Find out more about the Kalyshi in this blog, or pre-order your team here!

GLAMBEK GHOSTS

The Ada-Lorana will not break the rules of DreadBall, but the rules of physics are another matter entirely. They have the ability to phase through solid objects, which takes some pretty serious getting-used-to for their opponents.

The Ada-Lorana's phasing ability is a powerful tool on the pitch. It allows them to move around unhindered and although they cannot carry the ball while they do this, it does mean they can put themselves in the right place at the right time. Find out more about the Ada-Lorana in this blog, or pre-order your team here!

SULENTIC SHARDS

The Crystallans’ unique physical characteristics mean that when all of their energies are aligned few teams can match them. When they are not, there is always the option of just slamming down anyone who gets in their way.

Crystallans work best as a team, rather than individual players. Taking proper advantage of the Harmonics ability turns your average Crystallan into a super player. Find out more about the Crystallans in this blog, or pre-order your team here!

FRAN-TAAR PHILOSOPHERS

The Tsudochan appear relatively unremarkable, until you watch what they can do with their ’powers’. These can move other players from either side out of the way, or into a blocking position that can halt their opponents, as the Tsudochan decide.

Although they aren't physically powerful, the Tsudochan's psychic abilities can be difficult for any opponent to deal with. At will, they can push other players or the ball around the pitch, disrupting any carefully laid plans while putting their own schemes into action. Find out more about the Tsudochan in this blog, or pre-order your team here!
