McMurty's Burger Emporium

## History

In 2396, Rungo McMurty, a Halfling chef who owned a fine dining establishment, created the Big Moot Sandwich when Count Otto von Carroburg demanded a beef sandwich with all of the trimmings. Having run out of loaves of bread, McMurty sliced a roll in half and used that instead.

McMurty sold his business in 2452, and McMurty's Burger Emporium has become an enormous company, boasting of a sandwich stand on at every Blood Bowl stadium on the major circuits.

One of the most popular foods to be bought is still The Big Moot Sandwich. The aroma of those three all-meat patties, Hot Pot sauce, lettuce, cheese, onions, and pickles on a caraway seed bun, has mured many fans and players to satisfy a "Big Moot Attack."

### **Slogan**

"If you gotta eat- it's Gotta Be McMurty's!"

Frank N. Stein

## History

The Bruendar Grimjacks were the very first team to experiment with using Flesh Golems instead of Mummies. A long time fan of the team, the Dark Elf Sorcerer, Marishel, created the golem known as Frank N. Stein and presented him to the Grimjacks and while Frank has seen better days (we've lost count of the replacement limbs) everyone recognises the most famous Golem of them all when he lurches into the stadium. Twice winners of the Dungeonbowl in 2481 and 2483, Frank has led the team to some stunning victories over some of the biggest names.

Khorne (Team)

## General

The Daemons of Khorne (or just, y'know... Khorne) have infinite bloodlust and rage that makes them feared throughout the Blood Bowl leagues. Some of them, not satisfied with merely destroying all of civilization, started to get interested in violent games. When Bloodseekers, Bloodborns, Bloodspawns and Khorngors discovered Blood Bowl, the Daemons of Khorne made their entrance in the stadiums for the first time! Today, they are known as the most violent, and the most feared, Blood Bowl players of all time.

Uzziah Veale

Uzziah Veale is a member of the Cult of Surano. He's an Israeli citizen who was treated unfairly because of his abilities.

## Appearance

Uzziah is a dark red-brown figure with big yellow eyes. He has visible wrinkles under his eyes.

In the AmberVerse, he mostly has a timid face expression and has a light grey hand band.

## Personality

Uzziah has a timid personality, stemming from the harsh treatment he gets from his family. He has major trust issues for that reason. He is easily forgiving, but if people abuse that, he'll grow a fear of them.

Uzziah is shy in social situations and usually doesn't talk unless the other person starts. Uzziah has a low self-esteem, and hates his own ability because it was the reason he was distanced from his family.

## Background

Uzziah Veale was born in November 29. He was born in Israel and he lived a normal life until he hit the age of 9. At age 9, he discovered that he was one of the few people in the world to have a special ability, but his family would treat him unfairly because of this. Uzziah wanted to fit right in, so he'd refrain from using his power. 5 Years after discovering his power, his father went to Egypt because of work. After that, Uzziah saw a side his younger sister Ayala that he's never seen. Months after their father traveled, Ayala killed their mother, reason unknown. Uzziah and his younger brother Nazareth ran in fear of their sister killing them. Uzziah was timid, even if he did have powers. They went to Egypt to warn their father, but since they didn't know exactly where was or what he worked, Uzziah decided to work there and stay in a cheap inn with his brother.

## Abilities

**Body Ricochet:** This power was the reason his family treated him unfairly, so he loathes it. He discovered this power at the age of 9 but wasn't honing it because of his family.

* Activating this power reveals a visible white outline around Uzziah, giving enemies the indication that he's using it.
* He is able to deflect anything thrown at him like punches or objects. He can't hit himself to ricochet.
* He is able to make an object go through him, sort of like a booster.

**Moist Eye:** Uzziah doesn’t blink or flinch, but he does close eyes if there’s any irritant like dust.
Josef Bugman

## **History**

The name Josef Bugman is as synonymous with Blood Bowl as Goblins are with being cheating gits. Pitches bear the Bugman’s B, while the bearded face of the master brewer grins down on players from massive billboards. When Bugman turns up at a match in person it is a spectacle to behold.

Bugman is no mere spectator, however, as the stout brewer owns numerous teams, and coaches them from his private dugout as he knocks back beer after beer. For all his bluster, and the vast quantities of XXXXXX he consumes, Bugman is actually a fair coach, having a good eye for the ebb and flow of the game – the problem arises when things don’t go his team’s way, or he gets excessively drunk, or some combination of the two, and he staggers out onto the field to take matters into his own hands…

Laurelorn Paladins

## Franchise History

### **The Laurelorn Paladins**

The Laurelorn Paladins are a relatively new Wood Elf team that has caused something of a storm by including two Treemen in its line-up! The Longbark Brothers are cuttings from one of the most famous Treeman players ever, Longbark Earthroot of the Galadrieth Gladiators, and have proven to be two chips of the old block. The Longbark brothers have given the Paladins a hard hitting edge that many Wood Elf teams often lack, and numerous commentators and pundits are tipping them as the Wood Elf team to watch! Sadly, and in soite of such pundits, the Paladins have yet to achieve any real success, and often find themselves on the wrong end of inquiries thanks to their unusual formation.

All Teams

## **Legendary and maybe not so Legendary**

No matter what sport is being played, there are teams which become legendary- either due to their win percentage, their creation of casualties, or because they helped to evolve the game. Those teams are very few in number. For the most part- teams come and go and only become a footnote in history, if they are lucky! Below are the teams for each race that are mentioned throughout the known canon but whether or not they are well-known throughout the world is anyone's guess. \*Please note that the collection of team names is only given if the race has been verified. Many team names are given but they are not attached to any race. Sometimes, assumptions can be made, close to 100% certainty.\*

###

## **Teams of Various and Sundry Races and Mixes**

Of the many species of the Old and New World, there have been many races that have tried their hand at Blood Bowl and had either failed or were banned. Conversely, there was a time when races could freely mix with each other and it wasn't rare to see Dwarves and Humans together facing off against Orcs and Dark Elves. Below are the teams that have been mentioned in various canon.
Khemri Tomb Kings

## General

Once upon a time, Undead teams were few and far between, but that's not the case these days! Relative newcomers to the sport, Tomb Kings teams hail from the scorching deserts far to the south, and travel from game to game on great barges that are bedecked with all the finery of their ancient kingdoms. Each team is led by a liche priest, an ancient wizard who holds the team together, quite literally, as well as fulfilling all the normal roles you'd expect from a head coach. The team itself is mostly made up of Skeletons of long-dead players who were sealed into the tombs alongside their deceased sponsors in millennia past, fulfilling the terms of their eternal contracts. Tomb Kings players wear ornate, and some say magical helmets carved in the likeness of their gods and anointed with sacred oils, which grant them some prowess on the field and make up for their lack of body mass. The team is rounded out with mighty Tomb Guardians, dauntless revenants who are an utter terror in the midfield .

Artists

## General

Artists are essential to the continuing world of Blood Bowl. Whether it is interior art of rulebooks or graphic novels, the illustrator is key in setting a visual interaction between players of the sport. Artists, in this sense, will be considered as illustrators and this list is not necessarily comprehensive. Sculptors will be in their own category and won't be represented here unless they have contributed art towards the sport of Blood Bowl.

## Aly Morrison

Aly Morrison is an artist and game designer who co-founded Marauder Miniatures in 1988 with Trish Morrison. Marauder's figures were cast and distributed by Citadel Miniatures who absorbed the company in 1993. He has also sculpted for Games Workshop. Aly's contribution to Blood Bowl is the First Edition's Rulebook interior art.

## Pete Knifton

Pete Knifton is a British artist who has worked on various projects including Games Workshop projects such as Dark Future, Warhammer 40K, and Blood Bowl, as well as licenses such as Thundercats, Transformers, and Omni Books. A lot of Pete's Blood bowl art has not only appeared in various rulebooks, but White Dwarf Magazine as well. As of 2018, Pete Knifton has illustrated the comic within Spike! Journal, Mighty Blow, following the exploits of a young Bob Bifford.

Snotlings (Characters)

## General

Snotlings are tiny, humanoid creatures as well as the smallest and arguably the most dull-witted of the Greenskin races. Snotlings have been equated to immature and mean five-year old hooligans who love Blood Bowl so much, they are willing to die for their team- whether as a player or fan. Snotlings are notorious for being the worst Blood Bowl players that Nuffle could have envisioned, and after decades of letting down other races from other teams, only the Ogres do not mind fielding them and continue to do so, since they can throw Snotlings farther than Goblins.

A Snotling's size is what keeps them from being viable players. For a regular sized Human, Snotlings range from the bottom of the shin to the top of the shin. The only real position a Snotling can play (besides martyr or sacrificial lamb) is as the ball. More specifically, as a player holding the ball.

## Players and Non-Players

The following Snotlings have had their names recorded for various deeds- noble or ignoble!

## Bulla Shardhorn

 History

Bulla Shardhorn is a free agent Pestigor. His primary position is a runner and loans his talents out to Nurgle teams.

### Professional Career

Bulla Shardhorn started his professional career with the Diseased Destroyers in 2474, after approaching the team while they camped for the Basdahl Bash. Shardhorn climbed the ranks of the team as a runner, but by 2493, following the collapse of the NAF, Shardhorn became a free agent.

### Personal Career

Originally from the great Drakwald Forest, Shardhorn was already riddled with pox and contagion when he started Blood Bowl. Over the years, his various mutations have included extra arms, a second head, and noxious smells that have made the bravest men feint. His aroma was so virulent, that in 2487, his odor tarnished the Blood Bowl trophy in the Reikland Reavers' trophy room, causing the NAF to sanction him and set off a feud with the Altdorf Master Jewellers' guild.

Dungeonbowl

## History

Dungeonbowl was first started by the Colleges of Magic who couldn't decide on which of the ten colleges was the most powerful. With the popularity of Blood Bowl, the Colleges of Magic had each individual College field their own team, represented by the colors specific to the College. They attempted to start their own league but the NAF would not recognize them in their own right. After many arguments, fights, death, and whining, the Colleges of Magic created Dungeonbowl in 2473, to be ruled over by the Magicians Armorial Dungeonbowl Federation (MAD).

### Style of Play

Dungeonbowl is a variant of Blood Bowl and should not be seen as just another tournament. Two teams start at opposite end of a small underground complex. Instead of a kick-off, the wizards running the game hide a ball in a chest placed in an unknown location in the dungeon. There are five other chests also placed throughout the "pitch" which are decoys and rigged to explode if tampered with.

Although players still run, tackle, blitz, et cetera, they can take transportation portals which sends them in other locations of the myriad of hallways or rooms that comprise the underground dungeon. This is extremely dangerous, as teleportation has never been an exact science, and so there have been players who have disappeared without the benefit of reappearing.

### The Colleges and their Teams

Each of the ten Colleges play each other twice throughout the season and the top two teams compete in the final for Dungeonbowl.

### Prizes and money

The prize and money offered to the winners of the Dungeonbowl are the Dungeonbowl Trophy and 150,000 gold pieces. The losers receive 100,000 gold pieces. In addition, the winners receive a master wizard for the coming season, allowing them to have two wizards on their roster, the only time this is allowed in all of Blood Bowl.

The Beginning

> *"This book appears to be the religious text of a group of warriors who came from a land called 'Amorica'."*
>
>

> -A Half-Blind Dwarf who was an expert in all languages, both current and arcane
>
>

   Before the beautiful, bashy game of Blood Bowl, all of the uncivilized races settled their differences on battlefields like childish, ignoramuses. During a parley, after a particularly brutal battle between Dwarfs and Orcs, a bored and hungry Orc chieftain by the name of Mungk, accidentally opened a doorway to an ancient domed building while digging for earthworms. Inside the building were rooms with various and sundry armor, as well as strange symbols and mosaics. Inside was also an enormous book.
Because the races of old preferred to batter each other with their fists and swords, few took time out of their busy day of killing to learn to read, therefore, the book was a mystery. Thankfully, curiosity overtook the generals of both sides and they found an ancient seer who could translate the tome.

Taken as a religious text, as it was dedicated to the god, Nuffle, the tome contained the basic rules of what would become Blood Bowl: the number of warriors, or "players", the object of the battle, or "game", and the size of the battelfield, or "pitch".

Agreeing to use the newly discovered game to resolve their differences, both sides introduced a team to compete and so the first game of "Nuffle Amorical Football" began . Although no winner was ever recorded, the excitement of this new game dissolved the desire to continue the battle, and both sides left to spread their enthusiasm over the new sport, Blood Bowl. Once stragglers cleaned the field after the first game, the sacred and green pitch of the gridiron became apparent that this was an official pitch of Nuffle as mentioned form the sacred book.

   The ancient seer who translated the book, dedicated his life to Nuffle and adopted the title and name, Sacred Commissioner Roze-El, a high priest previously mentioned in the book. He set up a sect that would dedicate itslef to Nuffle and the sacred game of Blood Bowl.

Slaanesh

Slaanesh, known as the Prince of Excess, is the Chaos God of lust, pleasure, desire, and excess. He is typically considered androgynous, and while he is usually referred to as being male, the Elven races consider him to be female. His followers seek only to indulge in whatever fleeting whims and desires they feel, and they tend to become graceful, beautiful warriors who harbor selfish, cruel souls. His holy number is 6. Those who worship Slaanesh are those who either wish to achieve the most popularity amongst their fellow men or the most ecstatic pleasure, pleasure beyond imaginable.

Currently, there are no Blood Bowl teams who have fully worshipped or embraced Slaanesh, such as other teams who have for Khorne and Nurgle. This may be due in part to the excesses of Slaanesh followers unable to get their acts together to actually form a team, or because Khorne and Nurgle hate Slaanesh with a fiery passion and have created machinations for no team to be created in Slaanesh's name. Only time will tell.
Early Years

By the time of his death, Roze-El and his acolytes were able to piece enough rules and clarifications for a proper game of Blood Bowl, with at least 16 teams competing in the first season. Most people who became players simply did so by trying to walk on to a team. However, the need for skilled players rose, and so The Crush was created so that teams had a steady pool of qualified athletes to choose from. Soon, problems arose when various teams from the Auld World and New World began to create variations of the rules. Unable to reach an agreement on the rules when a match between the Reikland Reavers and Dwarf Giants met, a regression to full scale war was narrowly avoided.

Soon, an organization called the Nuffle Amorical Football, also known as The NAF, was formed just in time to lay down a universal set of rules that needed to be followed by all teams starting in the year, 2409. Twin conferences were ratified in 2431, the New World Football Conference, or NFC, and the Auld World Football Conference, or AFC, would send the winners of their respective conferences for a final match to win the coveted Blood Bowl trophy.

Naturally, with any sort of organization or team that needs money, company sponsors came to partake in the money that was coming in from ticket sales. The first sponsor of the Blood Bowl Trophy in 2461 was Bloodweiser Beer, and with the influx of money and advertising, Blood Bowl grew larger and appealed to more prospective fans.

Jorge Hellhound, the third Scared Commissioner, preceded by Djimm Thorp, created an innovation that forever changed how people watched Blood Bowl. Before, if a fan wanted to watch their favorite team, they had to either hope the team was in town, or pray to Nuffle of good tidings from the Blood Bowl pages of scrolls or newspapers. Hellhound wanted a broader audience and purchased the services of the Colleges of Magic to create a way for people to watch a Blood Bowl game from the comfort of their own home or pub.

The result of Hellhound's efforts culminated in the creation of a device known as the Camra, which derives its name from the Campaign for Real Arcanery. With this innovation, Hellhound sold the franchise to Channel 7 for a then lucrative offer of 714 gold crowns. This caused various media outlets to vie for the bidding rights on various games and competitions. Due to these counter-bids, the Blood Bowl Championship has been shown on the Necromancer's Broadcasting Circle (NBC), the Crystal Ball service (CBS), and the Association of Broadcasting Conjurers (ABC). ABC's coverage of of the Blood Bowl Championship in 2486 was purchased at $12 million gold crowns.

### Professional Career

In 2485, Eldril Sidewinder helped to lead the Galadrieth Gladiators to victory in the Chaos Cup Championship. After his run-in with Tzeentch, the Chaos God of Change, Eldril went freelance lending out his talents to all Elven teams. He has played for numerous Elven teams, most notably for the Caledor Dragons, and was offered captaincy of a Se Elf team- the Unsettled Sea, but has not accepted as of yet.

### Personal Life

When Tzeentch "gifted" Eldril with his chaotic touch in 2485, Eldril's mind was wiped and he has no knowledge of his history before that fateful Chaos Cup. Eldril is cursed so that every morning when he awakes, Eldril believes he is a member of the race of Elves playing closest to him, whether it's High Elves, Dark Elves, Wood Elves, or a member of the Elven Union. Another "gift" given by the Chaos God of Change, Eldril has a mesmerizing stare, or hypnotic gaze, that is capable of giving an opponent temporary amnesia so they forget temporarily what they are doing.

 Franchise History

### **Chaos All-Stars (2402 - present)**

#### **2402 - 2420: Time is On Their Side**

The Chaos All-Stars are formed through demon pacts made by owner, Prince Dorian, which cause time continuum issues allowing the team to win the Chaos Cup two years in a row before they were even created.

By 2420, messing with the constructs of time, the team is transported to ten minutes after their fifth Chaos Cup win. Although only minutes had passed in the real world, nine years had passed for the team while traveling through the folds of space and Chaos. This event was covered by sports writer, Royston Vermouth, who traveled with the team at the time in his book, "Nine Years Knee-Deep in Chaos."

#### **2467 - Present: Chaos and Order**

Captain V'hnn "Snakey" Qllss Zzchhtrr led the All-Stars to their first and only Blood Bowl Championship in 2467, during Blood Bowl VII. Not only did they defeat the Shiretown Stuffers, but ate them as well. This travesty felt through the Halfling community forced a boycott from Halfling teams to Halfling chefs refusing to participate or affiliate themselves with the All-Stars. The fans, however, were quite amused.

After their win, however, popularity has shifted back and forth for the team, thanks in part, to the NAF who had to impose a greater level of order of the game because of the All-Stars. For example, the Palace of Suffering must appear in time and place reachable by normal physical travelling methods a week before the game, and that its playing surface must be similar to that of at least one of the other Blood Bowl teams. Because of the All-Stars and their loose interpretation of magic, the NAF ruled that the "rules of physics, mathematics, and historicity must not be tampered with during a game, nor is magic to be used outside of the official NAF spell repertoire."

In 2487, Morg 'N Thorg, the All-Stars star Ogre, persuaded the NAF Commissioner, Nikk Three-Horn, to admit him to the Blood bowl Hall of Fame. Rumors abounded about exactly how this action transpired from bribery to blackmail, but legend has it that Morg 'N Thorg simply had a pencil sharpener, three carrots, and a desk lamp to help with the negotiation.

### Career Totals

Eviscerations: 36, Decapitations: 12, Fatalities: 38, Serious Injuries: 126, Lifetime Bans: 22

## Kreek Rustgouger

 History

Kreek Rustgouger, also known as "The Verminator", is a fanatic who plays for the Warpfire Wanderers, even through a record 22 lifetime bans, thanks to constant upgrades and personality resetting by Clan Rigens, allowing him to be a "new" player after reconfiguration. Currently, Kreek is a free agent who lends his services to Skaven and Underworld Denizens teams.

### Professional Career

Kreek "The Verminator" Rustgouger began with the Warpfire Wanderers in 2489. Rustgouger is known for playing with a different weapon in every game, mostly just variations on the ball and chain, and receives multiple lifetime bans for the blatant disregard of the rules and the NAF's initial ruling of disallowing secret weapons.

Every time he is banned, Rustgouger gets retooled by his handlers, and in their view, creates a different player entirely. Thanks to his fanbase and the ratings perceived by network executives, Rustgouger remains to play after every ban.

### Personal Life

Clan Rigens is responsible for the experimentation that has led to Kreek Rustgouger and his use of violence and secret weapons. No one knows exactly how many experimentations have been done on Rustgouger, nor what kind of rat he originally was, although many believe him to be a Rat Ogre.

High Elves

## General

When Blood Bowl was first played, High Elves disdained the game. They believed there was no more to Blood Bowl than two teams of uncivilized yobs pummeling each other senseless in a display of mindless violence. It didn't take them long, however, to realize that there is nothing to beat seeing your team wipe out the opposition and win a hard-fought Blood Bowl game !

High Elf teams, of which there are now quite a few, even after the collapse of the NAF, are renowned for their passing game. Elf teams have many advantages when it comes to winning, and their fine players are the epitome of the more graceful side of the game .

The only real problem with High Elf teams is that they can be very picky about who, when, or where they play- who can forget the Galadrieth Gladiators refusing to play the Bright Crusaders because a) it was raining, b)the pitch was muddy, and c) the Crusaders' costumes were designed in the worst possible taste! Still, it's a miracle the High Elves play the game at all, so we must be thankful- High Elves find close proximity to others so galling...

## History

**2469 ~** Minotaur legend, Massif "Hungry" Bovine achieves the record for heaviest player to take part in the Blood Bowl final, gaining fame and fortune. Deep in an underground brood-pit, a young Glart Smashrip sits in front of a Cabalvision broadcast and swears that he'll someday hold the record himself. Only a handful of his broodmates survive the subsequent feeding frenzy.

**2472 ~** A now impressively obese Smashrip attends the tryouts for the Warpfire Wanderers, but is laughed out of the line-up. His chances aren't improved when he eats the team's assistant coach to prove a point, but news travels fast, and it isn't long before the Skavenblight Scramblers scout him out and offer him a place on their roster.

**2475 ~** Although Glart moves too slowly for his rise to be called "meteoric", he begins to build a devoted fanbase. They refer to themselves as "Glart's Gluttons" and seek to emulate his lifestyle wherever possible. The Skavenblight Scramblers' match rider is amended to include a clause stating that the stands must be suitably reinforced in their half of the stadium.

**2485 ~** In a now famous match against the Darkside Cowboys, Glart is sent off for chewing on a fallen player, and responds by guzzling down the referee. Despite the howls of approval from the crowd, he is removed from play by force and issued a lifetime ban. He vanishes form the public eye.

**2486 ~** In Smashrip's absence, a number of imitators come forward to capitalize on his popularity, often claiming to be members of his brood. The Gluttons are divided between those who allow these replacements a place in their hearts, and those who stubbornly refuse to accept imitations and start a petition to get their hero reinstated.

**2488 ~** In an unprecedented u-turn, the NAF listens to the fans and annuls the lifetime ban. Smashrip comes out of his self-imposed exile and returns to the field; perhaps a little more grey around the whiskers than before, but somehow even more colossal in girth. Rather than rejoin his old team, he makes himself available as a free agent and is bombarded with offers.

### First Appearance

Spike! Journal #1, 2018

 History

Scyla Anfingrimm is a Chaos Spawn known to play for both Norse and Chaos teams. Thanks to his style of play, or because of it, Khorne has blessed Scyla with multiple mutations to continue Scyla's style of destruction and mayhem.

### Professional Career

There are several theories as to the origin of Scyla Anfingrimm, but many Blood Bowl historians place Scyla Anfingrimm as a Norscan Chieftan who debuted with the Norscan team as a blitzer, the Bluchen Berserkers. However, in his more recent mutative state, Scyla, the Chaos Spawn, debuted with Khorne's Killers.

### Personal Career

Because of the surrounding mystery of Scyla's origins, there are many issues in nailing down his personal life. What is known is during the 2492 Chaos Cup competition, the Norse Shield Maiden Hylda Anfingrimm claimed to have married him when he was a Norscan chieftan.

Scyla's style pf brutality on the pitch has endeared him to many fans. This popularity has led to multiple companies using his brand such as Slaughterade and Collars By Khorne.

Dwarf Warhammerers

## Team History

Dwarf Warhammerers (??? - present)

Evo "Bomber" Baradil, Yukk Ghulag

 Franchise History

#### ??? **- present: Danger Zone**

The Dwarf Warhammerers are known in the Blood Bowl world for two things: cheating with weapons and being as dangerous as they can be on the field. Fortunately for the former, they have helped to invent new ways to play, including their high-caliber-loading-breech cannon as part of their passing play. Unfortunately for their being dangerous on the field, this also applies to their own team.

In 2486, while playing the Champions of Death, the Warhammerers were winning 2-0 when the three Mjolnir Brothers tried to reinforce their flying-V tactic with explosives and coach-bolts. By the end of the game, they had wiped out their own bench and half of their own team.

In 2487, the Warhammerers were suspended for three games due to an illegal use of a bulldozer. By NAF ruling, on the bottom of match tickets, there must be a clear printing of this disclaimer: "Beware- these guys are kerr-ayzee!"

Another example of the Warhammerers' willingness to use cheap tricks includes the stunning 3-0 against the Darkside Cowboys in 2488. They stored so much magical energy in their Gator-Ade tub that it leaked out and lit the stadium like day. This allowed the Warhammerers to shut down Moravis Curfew's throwing game and get them to make 15 interceptions.

## Rosters

As of now, there are no rosters of the Dwarf Warhammerers.

Anqi Panqi's ability on the field helped bring the Stegadons much needed fame and revenue. In 2481, after Xlu'hotex became jealous of the Saurus' popularity and tried to squash it with disguised banishment, Anqi Panqi became a free agent.

Ogres (Characters)

## General

Ogres are large, humanoid creatures roughly ten feet tall and can be twice as large as a Human. They are naturally resilient, dim-witted, and prone to violence of all kind which makes them natural Blood Bowl players. It isn't far fetched to say the two things they value most is fighting and eating, and so they have played Blood Bowl since its inception. In the fledgling years of Blood Bowl, Ogres played on many teams, however, they currently are more regulated and so play on Human, Chaos Renegades, and their own Ogre teams.

## Map

Most Ogres have formed teams or have been recruited from various places around the Old World, although their highest concentration of habitation are the Mountains of Mourn. No one knows quite where Ogres originated and since it is rare an Ogre picks up a book without eating it, let alone writing one, it may never be known.

## Players and Non-Players

The following Ogres have had their names recorded for various deeds- noble or ignoble! Out of all players, regardless of race, Morg 'N Thorg is considered one of the greatest of all time and he hasn't even retired. Another Ogre anomaly in the sense that people can readily understand him, while enjoying his running commentary is Bob Bifford, one half of the most famous announcers of Blood Bowl, along with the Vampire, Jim Johnson. The "\*" denotes a current playable character as of 2018.

In 2484, the Creepers upset the Blood Bowl world by winning the Chaos Cup. After the win, they get their team lineups ratified by the NAF, which was finally found in an obscure passage of the Sacred Law of Nuffle. Along with new financial sponsorships thanks to their Chaos Cup title and official status, the Creepers sacrifice their head coach, Fleshbarb, in celebration.

Kislev Circus

## General

Unreceptive to Blood Bowl for many long years, the great Kislev empire has recently become very keen on this sport. The spark was lit by a rumor about the great Tsarina, who supposedly had an “adventure” with a young blitzer. The popularity of the "Ice Queen" is such that all young Kislevite males decided to take on the sport in order to seduce her.

## Famous Kislev Circus Teams

Currently, there are no famous Kislev Circus teams, possibly due to their recent inclusion in playing Blood Bowl on a professional level.

## Famous Kislev Circus Players

Currently, although there are Star Players who will play for Kislev Circus, there are no unique star players. See under "Famous Kislev Circus Teams" for a possible explanation.

Jorge Hellhound

For a man who had a part in inventing the Camra, you'd think there would be a picture of him.

## Jorge Hellhound

Jorge Hellhound was the third commissioner of Blood Bowl, preceded by Djimm Thorp. Hellhound is known for many things, but his most important innovation came when he realized that he could sell far more tickets for games than he could ever hope to pack spectators into any stadium in the New World. And so he contacted the various Guilds of Magick, asking them to find a way to transmit an image of the game all over the continent. This resulted in the creation of the Camra and Cabalvision.

Hellhound is also credited with organizing the teams into conferences and having names on the backs of jerseys for easier identification of the bodies at the end of the match.
