March 2017·p. 17

THE SHORT VERSION

Teams may sneak an unusual ball into one drive per match, risking the referee sending off the kicker. Rules distinguish a dangerous extra-spiky ball, an escaping Orc squig, a mutating Skaven warpstone brazier and a heavy Dwarf ball that changes passing, scattering and impact injuries.

Spike! Magazine: Stadia of the Old World

An in-world stadium tour explains why so few teams still own their grounds after the NAF’s collapse. The Old Bowl, Doom Dome and undersized Halfling Green Acres illustrate contrasting venues, while a play diagram celebrates a Gutter Runner’s series of dodges that turns a Human fumble into a Skaven touchdown.
