Stout Ironfist

art by Wayne England

Stout Ironfist is best known as the first Troll Slayer to play Blood Bowl professionally for the Dwarf Giants from 2465 until his death in 2471.

### Professional Career

Previous to becoming a Troll Slayer, Stout Ironfist was a star blitzer for the Dwarf Giants. Given the charge of protecting the King's son during a match against the Lowdown Rats, the son was killed by the Lowdown Rats' Troll, after Ironfist had been distracted and blinded by a custard pie. With frenzy upon him, Ironfist grabbed the horned helmet of the slain son and decapitated the troll. Due to his failure and shame, Ironfist shaved his head into a mohawk as a sign of humility, and dyed his hair orange as a mark of respect to the famous red beard of the King's son.

For the rest of his career, Stout Ironfist challenged the largest and/or toughest opponents the Dwarf Giants faced so that death could release him from his shame. In 2471, in a game versus the Chaos All-Stars, Ironfist was triple-team blocked by the All-Stars' Ogre, Morg 'N Thorg, the Troll, Bork, and the Minotaur, Zy-Nox. This led to Ironfist's death and release from his humiliation.

Because of his legend, all Dwarfs who incur massive shame during Blood Bowl matches follow Stout Ironfist's path in their efforts toward redemption through on-pitch violence.

## Roze-El

Not Roze-El, but historians are pretty sure he looked like this guy

## Roze-El

Little is known of the dwarf seer who adopted the name, Roze-El. Sources claim he was recognized, and respected, as an educated seer who was an expert in "all languages, both current and arcane."

He was initially summoned upon the discovery of an ancient tome during a parley of a battle between Dwarves and Orcs, and was allowed to examine and translate the book while the armies waited. After three days, the seer declared the tome to be a religious text containing the teachings of the god, Nuffle. After adopting the name, Roze-El, and the title, Sacred Commissioner.

Roze-El soon formed a sect following Nuffle, whose adherents would scour the tome for revelations and laws concerning Blood Bowl. Their jobs were to not only translate the tome itself, but the pamphlets, papers, and scrolls left behind as well, which gave more insight and clarification to the rites and laws of Blood Bowl.

Dedicating his life to Nuffle, Roze-El made "many great strides in recreating Nuffle's original rites," before passing on to the Great Pitch Beyond at 196.

### Personal Life

In life, Gretchen Wächter was married for a long time to an obsessed Marauders Blood Bowl fan, Norbert Wächter, and became severely neglected almost immediately. She began to incubate an impressive hatred towards Blood Bowl and all those who enjoyed it. When she passed away in 2490, Wächter was buried in the Marauders home team kit, but her spirit aggressively manifested and chased her husband down the streets.

In 2492, Dirk the Abhorrent summoned her spirit to become a powerful player on his new team, the Forlorn Phantoms, as he figured she would make short work of opposing players, using her hatred as a weapon.

Guffle Pusmaw

History

Guffle Pusmaw was a catcher for Nurgle's Rotters and previously played as a catcher for the Rocktown Rumblers before his meeting with the Chaos god, Nurgle. He is now a free agent lending his talents to Chaos Chosen, Chaos Renegades, and Nurgle teams.

### Professional Career

Playing for the Rocktown Rumblers as a third reserve rookie catcher in 2489, Guffle Pusmaw swapped jerseys with a Nurgle's Rotters player and was soon blessed by Nurgle with mutations, and thanks to one specific mutation: a massive maw where his abdomen should be, became instantly recognizable.

In 2491, Pusmaw officially debuted for the Rotters and helped the team to the play-off stages of the 2491 Full Beard Cup. By 2495, after a successful run of seasons with the Rotters, Pusmaw left the team after a public falling out with fellow Rotters Rotspawn, Tiddles the Cat. Under the guidance of Lord Borak, Pusmaw decided to become a free agent.

### Personal Life

As an obscure player on an obscure team, Pusmaw traded a jersey with one of Nurgle's Rotters' players as a sign of respect. When he contracted an array of mutations and diseases, he found he had gained a maw that sported a massive tongue, and sharp teeth. His loyalty to Nurgle pushed him to train harder than ever to become adept at catching the ball with his new mouth, and found that an opposing player had a tough time stripping the ball from him once he had it between his blubbering lips.

Celestial Comets

## Team History

Celestial Comets (2472 - present)

 Franchise History

#### **2472 - 2488: Dungeons and Adaptions**

Founded in 2472 as an all-Elf team in Dungeonbowl, the Celestial Comets participated in the Colleges of Magic tournament for over a decade. However, soon after the Comets won Dungeonbowl in 2488, the NAF collapsed, leaving the future of Dungeonbowl in doubt. Although the tournament would survive, several teams transitioned to join Blood Bowl above ground, including the Comets.

#### **2488 - present: Some Changes Are Easy**

The Celestial Comets transitioned well from the style of Dungeonbowl play to Blood Bowl. Rumor has it they even used some of their old tricks, including using a pair of portal sconces and setting them up beneath the pitch's trapdoors so they could easily outmaneuver their opposition.

## Star Players

Currently, there are no star players from the Celestial Comets.

## Franchise History

### **Vynheim Valkyries (2442 - present)**

#### **2442 - 2443: Building and Organizing**

The Vynheim fishing industry, although lucrative in the spring and summer months, virtually shuts down during the long winters due to frozen conditions and dangerous ice floes. As such, boredom finds itself very quickly with the fishermen, and in order to combat that malaise, many form small, informal Blood Bowl clubs to pass the time. One such club, the Vynheim Valkyries, was formed in 2442, and it soon became apparent they were the toughest club in the region. By 2443, the Valkyries became a professional club when Skalagrimm & Holst Associates financially backed the team as owners.

#### **2463 - Present: Rising and Staying in the Ranks**

**2463 - 2474: Blood Bowl Championships**

The Valkyries saw a modicum of success but really entered as a force to be reckoned with in 2463, after they won the NFC Championship, and then went on to win Blood Bowl Cup (III). In the final against the Reikland Reavers, the underdog Valkyries shocked the Blood Bowl world with a fairly easy win in Longship Stadium in Vynheim. Although critics at the time leaned more on the Reavers' lack of preparation for the cold weather (wearing flat-soled shoes and short sleeves) as well as the icy conditions of the surface pack-ice of the pitch, fans have stated that the Valkyries would have dominated either way.

**2475 - Present:**

Since 2475, the Valkyries have gone through a rocky road of wins and losses. However, in 2487, they again won the NFC Championship and were named Orcidas Team of the Year.

Dragon Diarys is a game idea I had for sometime now, and with the free time that I have, I began making art and character bios into the day comes whereas I actually have time to come to a final concept to actually make the game, whereas my other focus is my main project which is Zelda related.

Dragon Dairys is a series about individuals who choose to become heroes and eventually will meet together to deal with a common threat that will affect the world. This threat is known as The Establishment, ran by a group known as the Sheer Family who is deemed the head of the Criminal Underground and has the Illuminati on its leash, for the goal of the Sheers, the leader, King Sheer, is to bring totally control the world by means of a New World Order, alongside those who follow him, as well as his son, Jake Sheer, of whom has already taken over the United Kingdom, thanks to his father. But in order to gain more followers overseas, King has sent his agents and influence across the world in an attempt to recruit others, only for those interested only to be met with vigilante justice, anti-heroes and the likes of others who are fighting against bad people, only for them to eventually come into conflict with the Establishment themselves.

### **The Amazon All-Stars**

The Amazon All-Stars were the first Amazon Blood Bowl team to journey from Lustria to the Old World. As their name implies, the All-Stars were made up of the top players from several Amazon teams that played in the Lustrian leagues. Arriving in 2494, the All-Stars quickly made their mark and have remained the top Amazon Blood Bowl team ever since.
Grand Tabernacle of the Pilgrim's Way

The Grand Tabernacle of the Pilgrim’s Way is a large orbital station above Diomikato in the Aliya system. Operated by the High Church of Messiah-as-Emperox, the Grand Tabernacle acts as a way station for Imperial citizens on pilgrimage. Here those pilgrims can find shelter and security while on their journey, as well as a chance to visit the memorial sites of Diomikato and pay homage to those lost while in service to the Empire.

Rooms on the Grand Tabernacle are provided at minimal cost to any pilgrim, and while the facilities are spartan, they provide every basic need for a pilgrim. The repair and refuelling facilities of the station are also provided at a greatly reduced cost to those on pilgrimage in privately owned vessels, reducing the cost of pilgrimages and ensuring those who undertake them do so safely. The High Church also runs a network of transports going to the holy sites of the sector, encompassing the core systems of the Empire. Passage on these transports are affordable to most people but conditions are often cramped.

Despite its utilitarian design, the Grand Tabernacle is one of the most technologically advanced stations in the sector. Large parts of the station's day to day operations are highly automated, allowing it to function with only a handful of crew if need be. The food and power production systems mean that even without resupply the station can sustain its maximum population for potentially decades. The most impressive feature however, is its main communications antenna which is able to broadcast a signal across drive space. This signal, while only basic in composition, aids travellers navigating towards the Grand Tabernacle from three hexes away. This helps to ensure a stable translation into the Aliya system.

The recent relocation of the Grand Tabernacle to the Aliya system was reportedly for two reasons: It allowed for easier visititation to the memorial sites on Diomikato, such as the battlefields of the Second Imperial Civil War, the War against the Artificial, and the most recent Conflict of 3200, as well as the Legio Terminus and the various other holy sites. Secondly the relocation was a part of aid offered for the civilian population of Diomikato, those who had lost homes to the war are being allowed temporary housing in the Grand Tabernacle should they desire. The excellent medical facilities on the Grand Tabernacle are also being utilised to their fullest under the guidance of the Priests of the Pastoria and doctors from the Lectorate.

Security on the Grand Tabernacle is tight. Several units of the Guardians are stationed at all times to ensure the safety of its occupants. At the same time, being in Aliya allows the Grand Tabernacle to also have the luxury of the Aquilan Legions at their beck and call. On welcoming the Grand Tabernacle into orbit, the Convocation of House Aquila pledged to ensure the safety of the station and any pilgrims within the Aliya system.
Trolls (Characters)

## General

Trolls are large, humanoid creatures whose dimwitted brain is matched only by their powerful builds. It is common for trolls to be twice the size of a normal human, and as many are tainted by Chaos, it is not unusual to see a Troll with various mutations. The common Troll can be found in Troll Country, an unforgiving expanse of land at the edge of the Chaos Wastes, the River Troll inhabiting the various rivers of the Old World, Cave Trolls- giants of the subterranean, the Snow Trolls of Norsca, and Stone Trolls, more common among the mountains. Trolls mainly play for three teams- Orcs, Chaos Renegades, and more infamously, the Goblins. Usually, when hiring a Troll, salary is demanded by food instead of coin (although Trolls have no issues digesting metal, stones, or dirt).

## Players and Non-Players

The following Trolls have had their names recorded for various deeds- noble or ignoble! One of the most famous Trolls of all time (and very unusual in his ability to string words into sentences), Ripper Bolgrot, is not only well known for the violence he dishes out on the pitch, but the various poems and sonnets he has written during his travels abroad.

Chaos Dwarves

## General

Chaos Dwarfs are evil creatures, famed weapon-smiths whose creations are as twisted and as cruel as they are. They are the sworn enemies of their distant kin, but if there's one thing the two races agree on, it is Blood Bowl. Chaos Dwarf teams have long been a fixture of the sport, even though they were excluded from official play by the NAF until its collapse. Most Chaos Dwarf coaches realize that their chief weakness is their race's inherent ponderousness, so Hobgoblin slaves fulfill a vital role as Runners and Throwers. A few lucky teams can boast the presence of Bull Centaurs, mighty warriors who have been blessed with the gift of mutation. Chaos Dwarf teams might not be quick, but you'd be a fool to stand in their way!

Underworld Denizens

## General

Many and varied are the evil beings and creepy-crawlies that lurk in the dark depths beneath the earth, gnawing on the very roots of the world unseen by the races that walk the sunlit lands above. Unseen that is, until they heard about Blood Bowl and decided to emerge into the light to take part in the leagues. Not every creature of the subterranean dark is actually any good at Blood Bowl- Cave Squigs, for example, have too few arms, while giant tunnel spiders have too many, and so these teams are invariably dominated by two of the most numerous of the evil races that dwell in the darkness: Goblins and Skaven .

But these Gobbos and ratmen aren't the normal run of the mill type- they are quite different. After all, if they were, they'd be playing in "proper" Goblin or Skaven teams. Instead, these are the type that no one else wants, and the reason for this is that they have been gnawing on the roots of the world just a little too enthusiastically- those roots you see are really quite toxic, in many cases hallucinogenic, consisting as they do of magically-infused cave mushrooms growing on seams of purest warpstone .

As a result of imbibing such a potent cocktail of madcap mushrooms and warpstone, the players of the average Underworld Denizens team exhibit a riot of outlandish mutations, from tentacle limbs to multiple heads. As can be expected of any team made up of such thoroughly unpleasant types, the players hold one another in mutual contempt, harboring all manner of grudges and petty rivalries, and often suspecting one another of stealing their warpstone-infused madcap mushroom stash .

Most self-respecting teams dislike playing against Underworld Denizens teams even more than they do playing conventional Goblin or Skaven teams. For a start, they often have to venture into the dark caverns where such teams play and these are invariably dark, dank places lit only by the weird glow of warpstone-infused mushrooms as tall as trees. Many a team that has bravely ventured down into the underworld to play an away fixture against the Underworld Creepers or the Dragon Crag Dirtbags has failed to return, prompting lengthy investigations into whether or not the result later logged with the NAF bore any relation to an actual game played or if it was simply made up by the murderous denizens of the darkness !

## Famous Underworld Denizens Teams

* The Cragmere Critters
* The Dragon Crag Dirtbags
* The Underworld Creepers

## Famous Underworld Denizens Star Players

Although there are star players who will play on an Underworld Denizens team, there are currently no star players that are unique to the Underworld Denizens.

## Prince Moranion

 History

Prince Moranion is an High Elf Blitzer who initially played for the Dragon Princes, and currently plays for the Caledor Dragons, although he does lend himself as a free agent for other teams.

### Professional Career

Prince Moranion began his career with the Dragon Princes, a team made up of various noble Elves. Only allowed to play Blood Bowl if they played another team of equal social ranking, the Dragon Princes folded after no one could be found that met the criteria. He eventually signed up, and then bought out the Caledor dragons to run and play as he wished, currently playing as a blitzer.

### Personal Life

Coming from a high noble heritage, Prince Moranion was in line to lead his people in High Elven society. When he was around 500 years of age, the Prince decided Blood Bowl would be in his future. For High Elves, Blood Bowl can be unseemly and below nobles of impeccable station. The Prince would inspire many other noble Elves to follow his lead in creating and joining the Dragon Princes team. After they disbanded, the Prince continued to defy his determined route in life and bought the Caledor Dragons.

 Franchise History

#### **2486 - 2488: Kitting Out Chaos**

The Doom Lords first took their professional debut in 2486 playing in the NAF AFC North Division. Owner, The Overfiend of the Lead Citadel, cut no expense in purchasing a veteran head coach, Harry the Idolator, and created a rigorous process in choosing the players and cheerleaders for the Doom Lords.

#### **2489 - present: From Chaos Chosen to Chaos Champions**

The collapse of the NAF in 2489 forced many franchises to close or be sold. The Overfiend's business and dark pact acumen allowed the Doom Lords to remain relatively unscathed. During the resulting disorder, the Doom Lords continued to enter small, independent tournaments. While missing the qualifying stages for Chaos Cup 2492, the team instead entered, and won, the Thimble Cup, playing against fifteen Halfling squads.

The 2492/93 season for the Doom Lords resulted in a 19-2-1 record and also garnished a Chaos Cup victory in 2493.

Tatzina Babarini

Tatzina Babarini is world-renowned Tilean Fashionista, celeber for her truly-tropical sense of style. Every season, she tours the fashion houses of the world looking for what’s hot and humid to share with her legions of dedicated followers. Anything that doesn’t measure up gets treated to a veritable monsoon of scorn! Tatzina travelled with Spike! Journal to Lustria, to see for herself what goes well with a lizard skin birthday suit! TATZINA: Oh. My. Goodness. The natives here are, like, totally covered in lizard skin from head to foot! They have all these scales in the most vivid and vibrant of colours. It’s, like, they’re covered in sapphires! I was blown away. But remember, Lizardmen skin is for looking at, not touching! They don’t like it when you touch them, so don’t be tempted, no matter how tantalising the texture or captivating the colour!

## COLOUR CHOICE

Most Lizardmen are a deep blue, like the Lustrian sky at dusk. It’s ah-mazing! However, blue is not the only colour. Many are turquoise, some are emerald green, and almost all display a secondary colour. These secondary colours, often worn proudly on a crest or down their spine, are usually hot and fiery colours, ranging from vivid red to bright orange. Yet cool colours are also popular, particularly white, and some Lizardmen are able to change their colour to suit their mood! Imagine that! Feeling blue? So’s your hue. Feeling mellow? Turn yourself yellow! This bold attitude towards colour is a joy to behold!

## ACCESSORISING

So what goes with lizard skin? Well, that’s easy – gold, darling, and lots of it! Lizardmen favour antique gold of a strong and lustrous yellow hue. Not for them the white or rose gold of the Old World. If you’re a Lizardman, you want your gold yellow. And why not? It creates the most fabulous contrast against that wonderful skin! Lustrian gold jewellery is heavy and angular – thick gold bands and heavy piercings. Decoration is almost always bold as well, with hieroglyphics and the pictographic language of the Old Ones a common theme. Add to this fine and precious jewels and the effect is striking – not unlike the rings many famous Lizardmen players wear on the pitch!

## LEAVE IT ON THE LIZARD!

One thing the Lizardmen don’t like is sharing! As far as they’re concerned, lizard skin belongs on lizards and they don’t want to give it up! Believe me, I tried asking politely and they were most rude in response. Most rude! So as tempted as you may be to snag yourself some Saurus skin boots or a Skink skin jacket, you’ll just have to go without. But never fear, you can enjoy their incredible style in generous abundance as they take to the Blood Bowl pitch to strut their stuff!
Blood Bowl XX

**Blood Bowl XX** was a Championship Blood Bowl game between the Auld World Football Conference (AFC) champion Elfheim Eagles and the New World Football Conference (NFC) champion Nurgle's Rotters to decide the Blood Bowl (BB) champion for the '79/'80 season in 2080. The Eagles defeated the Rotters.

### Game Summary

Although the Eagles would win Blood Bowl XX, an investigation began afterwards because of the nature of the game . Part of the controversy was due to the curious result of the Eagles who did not receive any injury from the Rotters. Magic detectives found that there were other factors that may have led to a win: use of Elven high magic, animated grass, a huge vat of antiseptic, and a covert team of troubleshooter found to be hired by the Acne-Clear Corporation. The investigation came back inconclusive when detectives would keep dying after interviewing the Rotters' players. Since no decision of guilt could be placed, the Elfheim Eagles would walk away with a Blood Bowl Championship under their belt.

### Bonuses

As with all teams who play in the Blood Bowl Championship, bonuses are given to both teams. For the Nurgle's Rotters, a bonus of 1,000 crowns per mutation was given, plus an exposure to the disease of their coice. For the Elfheim Eagles, the bonuses included a five-year dry cleaning contract, an exclusive designer hair-style, and a monogrammed mirror.

The Crush

## History

In the earliest days of Blood Bowl, any idiot, sadist, masochist, degenerate, and/or psychopath could attempt to join a team by walking up to them and demanding a spot. While this gave many teams bodies to be pummeled, it did not hep with the quality of player they would need to win games.

Eventually, a system of college training sprouted where training and tactics were part of normal studies and the best students would be allowed to participate in The Crush. The system dictates that all available players are place din a room with representatives from all teams, NFC and AFC, stand outside observing. At the word of "Go!", all players rush through the small door to get to the team they want before the slots are filled.

The Crush takes place two weeks after the Blood Bowl Championship, the start of summer recess, and then the participating teams spend around a month trading players, negotiating contracts, and commencing training. While many teams use The Crush as a strong recruiting tool, other teams (mostly Orcs, Goblins, Chaos Dwarves, and Ogres) use the time-honored tradition of filling their ranks from their own tribes or clans, or using slaves they "purchased" from random settlements.

In 2490, once it was clear the NAF was no longer a viable institution and teams began roving and barnstorming for games, The Crush was no longer needed as there was no longer the NFC or AFC. Now teams go back to the time honored tradition of holding tryouts and sending scouts to various and sundry regions of the globe hoping to find the next megastar.

Lizardmen

## General

If Blood Bowl historians are to be believed, Lizardmen have been playing the sport for over 8,000 years. This does seem a little hard to believe, especially as that would mean they were playing it centuries before an Orc called Mungk sat down for a rest and discovered a certain silver dome. But, whenever this comes up the historians just nod smugly, peer over their spectacles and say that this just goes to show how prescient Lizardmen are. Whatever they story behind their involvement in the sport, they've definitely made an impact! On the field, Lizardmen epitomize teamwork, with up to three different species working together on the pitch at the same time. Skinks are the most numerous players, highly agile and as quick as lightning. They are balanced out by Sauruses, monstrosities capable of felling an Ogre with a single blow .

Chaos Renegades

## General

The world of Blood Bowl is host to countless teams whose players dedicate themselves to the powers of Chaos, from mighty champions who play entirely for the glory of their patron god (Nurgle's Rotters and Khorne's Killers being two especially well-known examples) to rabbles of Beastmen and mutants. A type particularly beloved of Blood Bowl fans the world over, however, are the so-called Renegades- teams made up almost exclusively of the flotsam and jetsam of the various leagues .

Chaos Renegades players really are the lowest of the low, and that's saying something in Blood Bowl! While some are thugs or marauders from the far north, the vast majority are outcasts thrown out of established teams having proven themselves inveterate cheaters, ill-disciplined foulers, or lazy shirkers, or perhaps having run off with the team's treasury or head cheerleader. When they run out of coaches willing to offer a position on the roster, they band together to form their own rag-tag outfits, teams (barely) held together by the players' mutual love of violence and gold. Most renegades are human (to start out with at least), but most teams have at least one Goblin, Skaven, Orc, or even a Dark Elf on the roster, and some are able to field a Troll, Ogre, or Minotaur, making them a mismatched and eccentric group of players indeed (and a nightmare for NAF scribes to categorize!) .

Having fallen so far from the grace of Nuffle, these teams of ne'er do wells and scoundrels often attract the attentions of the Chaos gods, who, as everyone knows, are huge fans of Blood Bowl. Impressive feats on the pitch are often rewarded with the (sometimes dubious) gifts of one or the other of the gods of Chaos, whether or not the player actually wants such a reward. Thus, Chaos Renegades teams are often a riot of mutation, with players frequently exhibiting extra limbs, heads, or tentacles .

The fans love the spectacle of Chaos Renegades teams as no two are alike and their deeds on the pitch can rarely be predicted. Unfortunately, what the fans love about them, would-be coaches, owners, and sponsors hate, ensuring that a few, with the exception of the greatest such team of all time- the Chaos All-Stars- ever rise to the heights of true glory. Renegade players really are their own worst enemy, often selfishly refusing to pass the ball for a sure-thing touchdown in favor of making a doomed dash for the End Zone themselves. However well or badly they play, Chaos Renegades are always a spectacle to behold !

Creeveland Crescents

## Franchise History

One of the oldest teams in existence, the Crescents are now coached by famous former Crescent blitzer Harry Kehry. With the recent purchase of Rrr'krag Smma'gugg from the Oldheim Ogres, the Crescents look to be making another push towards championship glory. Whether they can match up to the Marauders or the Reavers remains to be seen. Look out folks, because if the Crescents manage to get themselves a favourable schedule for the open rounds, they could make the Semis or even the Blood Bowl final.

Bluebay Crammers

## Franchise History

The town of Bluebay sits on the banks of the Blue Reach river, a vital trade route through the Moot. It is very cosmopolitan, with a great many eateries populating its winding thoroughfares. The Crammers, named after their love of a good meal and their folks’ refusal to leave any leftovers, are in turn a well-travelled and very urbane team. Touring widely and ever eager to visit new places and enjoy local delicacies, they have dined in every corner of the world. They don’t often win many games, but they have had a jolly good time all the same. It is little wonder that this team has a firm following of fans eager to accompany them on the road!

## Mighty Zug

 History

Zug is a lineman/blitzer for the Reikland Reavers and has won three Blood Bowl championships with the team. His style of bashing and causing pain has given his popularity a boost amongst all sorts of fans. Zug has received multiple awards for his bruising and bashing and remains a solid fixture for the Reavers. Zug is a free gaent and lends his services to Human and Old World Alliance teams.

### Professional Career

In 2468, Zug was introduced to the Reikland Reavers through the practice of adopting a young orphan and giving them an apprenticeship. The practice by an ancient charter states the Reavers are beholden to adopt a young orphan from any Altdorf orphanage and award them an apprenticeship with the team.

Despite having to deal with a massively large, yet simpering wimp, Coach Helmut Zwimmer personally took interest in Zug's training, even after most of the staff considered the mountainous boy an ugly, stupid, and unfit ape. Through various training regimens and personal attention, Zug emerged from his worthless shell and began to transform into a young man who could use his massive bulk with skillful coordination.

Zug played in his first professional game with the Reavers in autumn of 2476, and promptly injured eight Middenheim Marauders players in the first half. His popularity rose along with his fatality count, and he helped the Reavers to win Blood Bowl XIX in 2479.

### Personal Life

Zug grew up in the orphanages of Altdorf and was chosen by the Reavers as an apprentice because of his size, even though he was known to be gentle, introverted, and possibly stupid. Playing for the Reavers changed his life and he now is known to have one of the largest collections of Orc teeth in the Old World.

Blood Bowl XVIII

**Blood Bowl XVIII** was a Championship Blood Bowl game between the Auld World Football Conference (AFC) champion The Gouged Eye and the New World Football Conference (NFC) champion Skavenblight Scramblers to decide the Blood Bowl (BB) champion for the '77/'78 season in 2478. The Scramblers defeated the Gouged Eye, 3-2, in what would be a consecutive win of the Blood Bowl Championship after the Scramblers won the previous year, Blood Bowl XVII against the Middenheim Marauders.

### Game Summary

There was some controversy over the Scramblers' win, with the Gouged Eye and others calling for a NAF commission to investigate possible manipulation of the stadium and pitch. The commission ruled out the possibility that the Scramblers had spent all year st the stadium, rigging it for the game, while a team of substitutes set about qualifying, even after it was shown the pitch had a pronounced slope towards the Gouged Eye's end zone as well as a number of bottomless shafts.

## Barik Farblast

 History

Barik Farblast, along with his illegal weapon, The Ballzooka, was a runner for The Grudgebearers. He then left and is currently a free agent. The Ballzooka, invented by Farblast himself, is a device that launches a ball at high speeds and long distances, and has not been replicated successfully by other invenotrs and tinkerers.

### Professional Career

Farblast started his Blood Bowl career as a runner for The Grudgebearers in 2459. After two years as an unremarkable player, Farblast left the team for another year until returning with his creation: The Ballzooka.

From 2463 - 2469, Farblast and his creation brought in new fans and revenue for the Grudge Bearers, and helped to develop their throwing play, something Dwarf teams are not necessarily known for.

After the 69/69 season, Farblast left to become a free agent and currently lends himself to teams of his choosing.

### Personal Life

Barik Farblast is the second heir to the Farblast & Sons Ordnance Solutions, who have made tremendous financial steps in weapons and artillery. His knowledge and experience as a weaponsmith allowed him to create The Ballzooka, something no one else has successfully replicated.

NBA

## Nuffle Blasphemer's Association (NBA)

Not all Blood Bowlers out there love and worship Nuffle. There are a few out there who dislike him and curse his name. The Nuffle Blasphemer's Association (NBA) was started by Torg the Blasphemer, coach of Torg's Terminators, when his star player unexpectedly died in the league semi-final. With the game on the line, Sig "the Butcher” Thundersmack was sprinting toward the end zone for the winning touchdown when he seemed to trip over the goal line itself resulting in his neck being broken. The opposition was able to recover the ball and p
ull off an unbelievable scoring play that sent them to the league final instead. Torg cursed Nuffle for his fickleness and started up the NBA, which has grown over the years to include a number of players and coaches who have become disenchanted with Nuffle. You may see them at Blood Bowl games in their long black robes holding up signs denouncing the Blood Bowl god. Most people consider them a bunch of complete wackos and tend to ignore them.

Oldheim Ogres

## Team History

Oldheim Ogres (??? - present)

 Franchise History

### **Oldheim Ogres (??? - present)**

The Oldheim Ogres are a team known for their ferociousness as well as their forgetfulness. Many teams have been beaten by this team and eaten by this team. Therefore, many teams either never play them because of their reputation, or the Ogres get lost trying to find the game (should they remember they had one).

The famous Half-Orc Joachim Goadmalice trained so hard he caused more casualties in practice than the team had suffered in their ten previous games. Because of his amazingly brutal talent, the Oldheim Ogres renamed their stadium Goadmalice Park, especially since that is where most of him is buried.

## Star Players

As of yet, no playable star players have come from the rosters of the Oldheim Ogres.

## Rosters

As of yet, no rosters have been released of the Oldheim Ogres.

Minotaurs (Characters)

## General

Minotaurs are large, humanoid creatures generally with the head, legs, and feet of a bull, and the torso and arms of a man, though they can sprout multiple deformities as they are touched by Chaos. They are a breed of the Beastmen race and also carry the savage temper, brute strength and an insatiable hunger for fighting and violence. Minotaurs generally can be around 10 feet tall but it is just as common for them to have grown to twice the height of a man. Their muscular bulk combined with their sharp horns can eviscerate with a single thrust, thus making them a very formidable opponent on the pitch. Minotaurs have played for different races in the past but are relegated in current play to Chaos Chosen, Chaos Renegades, and Chaos Dwarves (having been enslaved by the Chaos Dwarves themselves).

## Players and Non-Players

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

Blood Bowl VI

**Blood Bowl VI** was a Championship Blood Bowl game between the Auld World Football Conference (AFC) champion, Champions of Death, and the New World Football Conference (NFC) champion Vynheim Valkyries to decide the Blood Bowl (BB) champion for the '65/'66 season in 2066. The Champions of Death defeated the Valkyries.

###  Game Summary

Although the Champions of Death would win Blood Bowl VI, the practice of Coach Tomolandry raiding graveyards and raising previously successful Championship teams, such as the Dwarf Giants, was banned by the NAF after this match. Complaints were made about the Champions of Death when it was discovered this winning team bore a striking resemblance to the Blood Bowl V winners, the Middenheim Marauders. Coincidentally, many of the Marauders team had been killed in a flying carpet crash not long after the Blood Bowl V Championship ended.
