Famous Players

The Marauders have

always enjoyed the taint

of Chaos, despite the fact

they are a Human team.

They have never been

afraid to take on players

who are different to the

‘norm’ shall we say.

Famous faces to have

worn the Marauder jersey

includes –

➢ Bob Bifford (Ogre)

➢ Karla von Kill

(Human)

➢ Withergrasp

Doubledrool

(Beastman)

➢ Massif “Hungry”

Bofine (Minotaur)

➢ Uthar Hagg (Half

Orc).

Staff

The Marauders were

coached by Goran Slaver,

a man of particularly

violent tendencies. One

season he killed his own

assistant with a chainsaw!

When the Marauders

became the Maulers, ex-

club captain Uther Hagg

became the Head Coach.

The club’s mascot was a

goat named Janet. Alas

the whereabouts of poor

Janet remain a mystery!

The Middenheim Marauders - By Dolf Ungerhaagen

The Middenheim Marauders franchise still exists, but they have changed quite a

lot over the years. We’re covering here their early history where they played as a

Human team before a merger and the inclusion of Dwarfs and Halflings on the

roster.

Stadium

In earlier and simpler times, the Marauders played in the Karl Franz arena, formerly

known as the Middenheim Arena. It was a large stadium seating up to 83,000 people for

each game. The stadium was known for its temperate weather during games and

officials who were surprisingly good!

History

2465 – After a successful season, the Marauders were all killed in a mysterious flying

carpet accident. The following season, the Blood Bowl winning Champions of Death

team looked strangely like the lost Marauders. Tomolandry assured everyone that this

was purely a coincidence!

2472 – Bob Bifford comes out of retirement and is signed for one game by the

Marauders to play against the Chaos All-Stars. The game is famous for the clash

between Bob and Morg N’Thorg. Bob came out on top, flattening Morg and scoring the

winning touchdown while whistling the Middenheim city anthem.

2477 – The Marauders lose the Blood Bowl final to the Skavenblight Scramblers 3-1 in a

torturous match that lasts a massive 9 hours! Exhausting!

2486 – Karla von Kill is signed for the Middenheim Marauders and quickly goes on to

make her name

2489 – After the collapse of the NAF, the team get into financial trouble. They change

their name to The Marauders, sell their stadium and become a touring team. The

financial troubles continue to follow them however and so in order to stay in business,

they merge with the Middenland Maulers. The new team, the Middenheim Maulers, are

very multi-racial but the Marauders had rarely just fielded humans historically.

Cross Code

The Marauders famously played in a Blood Bowl exhibition match against the Blood Axes

who are normally a Dungeon Bowl team. The Blood Axes failed to understand the fact

that one teams starts with the ball rather than needing to find it. This led to a crushing

15-0 defeat as they frantically tried to find non-existent chests!

Tanks very much

The Marauders played in the only game so far to feature a Goblin tank fielded, by the Evil

Gits. Luckily Massif Bofine was on hand to rip open the tank with his horns and scoff

Stranglegut the unfortunate goblin tank driver. He was soon spat out however, as Massif

explained later, he didn’t like “canned meat”!

Gridiron Gazette - Humans

Albion Wanderers - By Gerhardt Schtumpf

The Wanderers are a secretive bunch! Hailing from the far-off misty isle

of Albion and coached by Bob Berobsson , they proved to be a better

cup than league team.

The Wanderers took a long while to adapt to Blood Bowl outside of Albion

where the rules were slightly different. Their first games were a disaster,

including an incident where the Gouged Eye spit roast and ate 3 of their

players in front of them on the sidelines!

They played in the AFC Northern Division but rarely made an impact. That

contrasts heavily to their record in the other majors where they enjoyed

significant success. They won the Whiteskull Challenge Cup in 2433 and

then after it changed its name to the Chaos Cup, took it home a further 5

times (2444, 2454, 2457, 2474, 2488).

Alas they never survived the collapse of the NAF. Financially destitute, they

returned to Albion to take a up strange game where you kicked the ball

instead!

In name only!

The Blood Bowl world is vast and so

there are loads of teams out there that

we know exist . . . but we don’t know

anything about them at all!

Here is a quick shout out to the Human

teams we know in name only…

➢ Albion All-Stars

➢ Altdorf Griffons

➢ Armageddon Avengers

➢ Bordeleaux Ravens

➢ Carroburg Crusaders

➢ Golden Griffons

➢ Leitdorf United

➢ Lions of Couronne

➢ Middenham United

➢ Nuln River Boaters

➢ Paravon Penetrators

➢ Reikland Riot Girls

➢ Rostov Renegades

➢ Talabheim Morningstars

➢ Team Errant

Altdorf All-Stars

The All-Stars were only formed for one

brief and glorious season. They were

made up of players from the Reikland

Reavers, Middenheim Maulers and the

Altdorf Avengers.

Led by Griff Oberwald they made the

Blood Bowl final in 2503 only to see

their dreams crushed at the hands of

Count Luthor von Drakenborg.

Fighting Talk!

Both the Nuln Oilers and Nuln

Ironflanks are famous for just one

thing – losing bar room brawls!

Creeveland Crescents

This former AFC Eastern team has a long history of underachieving. Yes, they won the Blood

Bowl in 2476, but the player strike was just starting and their opponents were the Greenfield

Grasshuggers!! The Green and Whites have always boasted rosters full of talent but rarely turn

it into results. They were the first outfit Bob Bifford played for in his rookie year, gave a home to

Rotten Rick Bupkeis while he was alive and enjoyed the Ninja skills of Hoshi Komi as well as the

dancing thrills from the deadly Harry “The Hammer” Kehry. Just a shame they couldn’t build on

such talents! Now they’re a shadow of themselves, reduced to being a touring team since 2488

Whiteskull Challenge Cup

Winners (2431)

Purity Cup Winners

Those paying close attention

to the dates will note that

somehow, the Crusaders won

the Whiteskull Challenge

Cup 10 years before they

were officially formed. . . .

Recruitment Policy

All players must be extremely

physically fit (it’s a tough

game after all) and need to

prove they are mentally sane

(as outlined in the Holy

Guidelines of the sixth

Appendix) and to have

memorized the rules by heart

inside out. As the rules

currently come in 14

volumes, each 1000 pages

long, that’s a lot of reading!

Typically, only Humans tend

to play on the Bright

Crusaders but that there have

been instances where Dwarfs

have been signed.

Staff

Ingrid the Pious was the

owners and spiritual leader of

the Bright Crusaders, but

over the years she employed

a string of different head

coaches including –

➢ Dolph “The Saint”

Gurmann

➢ Father E.A. “The Padre”

Matten

➢ Kurt Heilger

Clearly coaching the

Crusaders requires the

patience of a saint!

The Bright Crusaders - By Rusty Hoelle

The Bright Crusaders have veered between the quiet, noble grace of a Knightly

Order and the wide-eyed fanaticism of an extreme cult of Nuffle. Neither

grace nor undiluted faith however seems to have brought them much luck on

the pitch. They play be an extreme code and don’t believe in bending even

the most minor of laws, making them really stand out from all of their peers.

History

2417 – An orphaned child is adopted by the Order of the Unchallenged Call, a devout sect in

the Nuffle faith, she is given the name Ingrid.

2438 – Now a young woman, Ingrid goes on the Prime Stadium Circuit Pilgrimage but is

appalled by what she saw. The lack of faith troubled her greatly and so she prayed

2441 – Having found financial backers, Ingrid sets up the Bright Crusaders and goes about

trying to recruit players who meet her very, very exacting standards

2449 – Finally Ingrid has enough players to start a team! The team don’t perform that well

however and results are hard to come by

2463 – Results start to change when Peter Lowenhart joins from the Rostov Renegades. The

star Blitzer brings some actual talent and not just blind faith to the team and introduces the

famous “Left Hook” formation, winning many games.

2472 – The infamous Quagmire incident match takes place against the Elfheim Eagles. The

Eagles wizards cast the Quagmire spell 93 times during the game causing the Crusaders

stadium to sink into the earth and never be seen again. The Colleges of Magic were forced to

change the rules, limiting teams to just one wizard per game.

2485 – The Crusaders match against the Dark Renegades was abandoned due to lack of balls!

Dark Elf Pinespite Venge had a mutation where he secreted a sticky substance from his body

and all 19 match balls stuck to him, breaking a NAF record!

2489 – Following the collapse of the NAF, the Crusaders got into financial trouble and called in

a team of accountants. As soon as they showed their books to the accountants the Crusaders

were closed immediately due to their financial peril!

Cross Dressing

Another clash with the Elfheim Eagles was called off due to the Crusaders new uniforms and

the weather. It was raining and so the Elfs may get muddy was reason enough, but the

hideous designs the Crusaders wore were so last season darling! However, the Crusaders do

have a crack squad of Nuns to buff their armour mid-game should it ever get dirty during a

game.

Thanks Fairy Much

The Bright Crusaders were the very first team to play a match against a Forest Folk team made

up of Brownies, Pixies, Gnomes and Centaurs. The game was close as the scantily clad fairies

proved a distraction even for the super pious Crusader players.

Gridiron Gazette - Humans

Bad Bay Hackers - By Lastiges Weisschen

The Hackers under the leadership of Captain ‘Peg’Leg’ Haaken prove

that with the right ingredients, any team can enjoy success.

Emblazoned in Green and Yellow, the Hackers have shot through the Blood

Bowl ranks in recent years. Their rise to fame was kick started with the

signing of star thrower Dunkel Hoffnung. It wasn’t too long before they had

poached Dirk Heldmann and Spinne Schonheit from the Reavers. These

three along with Ogre M’Grash KThragsh and Blitzer Rhett Cavre formed the

nucleus of a powerhouse team.

The Hackers have enjoyed a great deal of success winning the Blood Bowl

(2560), making the final on two other occasions (2558, 2559) as well as

winning the Spike! Magazine Open (2560, 2561) and the Tobazco Cup

(2561).

Known to play anywhere, the Hackers games have taken them to the new

world and the realm of chaos itself. Along the way they have suffered a

high casualty rate and have used Undead, Treemen, Pygmies and Beastmen

to pad out their roster. At times they are hardly human at all!

Altdorf Hammers

Hammers fans need patience to

watch their team play. A highly

religious outfit, they only take to the

astrogranite when the twin tailed

comet can be seen in the sky.

Famous for one thing . . .

Some teams rarely if ever gain any

fame. Some seek to buy renown,

however. You would probably never

of heard of the Averland Knights or

the Hochland Lumberjacks if they

hadn’t have hired Bob Bifford for a

season.

Middenplatz Manglers

Under the dubious leadership of

Tyros Bundt, they follow the mantra

‘Manglers never lose!”. Sadly, this is

rarely the case. Despite winning the

Doom Bowl, they’ve rarely known

success. It’s doubtful whether they

should be considered a Human team

at all in recent seasons after they

hired Franco Fiducci the

Necromancer. Most of their players

are now Undead!

Averheim Archers

To their shame, the Archers were the

first team to ever lose against the

Lowdown Rats. The resulting riots

from both teams forced the officials

to reverse the results giving the win

to the Archers – normal order had

been restored!

That’s Magic!

Talabheim Titans – Who could forget the infamous match where a miscast spell caused the players, fans and

cheerleaders to all switch bodies? Hilarious!

Hamblinn Bushwackers – A magical Piper played a tune and made the Bushwackers opponents, the Skaven

Wyrdstone Wanderers, vanish never to be seen again. Strangely the Bushwackers coach is also missing!

Lucky Sevens – A team of the unluckiest players ever banded together and then couldn’t lose. Fate or magic?

Gridiron Gazette - Humans

Port D’Aquitaine – the other Reavers - By Pierce d’Organ

Campaigning as one of the oldest teams in far Bretonnia, the Blue

and White Reavers formed in 2387 have a more recent history of

courting controversy.

One of the founding 4 teams of the Bretonnian league, the Reavers were

the first team in the knightly lands to use team colours to help their

players distinguish friend from foe. They were also the first Bretonnian

team to construct a purpose-built stadium in 2399 which they dubbed the

Rose Bowl due to the locals showering winning teams in roses.

Names matter and the Reikland Reavers sued Port D’Aquitaine over the

name Reavers. Despite the Bretonnians using the name for over 100

years they lost and in 2492 were forced to become Port D’Aquitaine

Power.

In following year in 2493 they found themselves in trouble with the RARG

who deemed that teams of all Knights were unfair and so passed a ruling

forcing Bretonnian teams to field lowly peasants as well!

Ever chivalrous, they were voted Spike! Magazines team most likely to

play fair in 2473, 2488 and 2498. Success in recent years has been rare

with only the Orcidas Team of the Year trophy (2484) gathering dust in

their trophy cabinet.

Altdorf Ale-Hole

The Ale-Hole is a seedy pub in

Altdorf that has its own Street

Bowl team. They tell a tale in

about former players in their

amateur team who went on to

make it big. A stable lad called

Griff and a bouncer named Zug.

Kicking it . . . . .

They do things differently in

Albion and their teams rarely

travel to foreign shores. During

the FA cup the spend more

time kicking the ball – madness!

Therefor who has ever heard of

the Kentish Kickers, Kingsbury

Royals, New Albion Patriots,

Notting Knights or the Blighty

Blighters?

On the up . . . ?

Nordland Rangers – Lack of

form saw the Rangers tumble down

to the minor league 3 seasons ago.

However, Blitzer Garr “The

Thnderbolt” Greyg is back in form

and they’ve just won promotion

back to the big time.

Hochland Harbringers – Struggling to be average, the

Harbringers have been on a

number of decent cup runs since

Blitzer Dreng Sturnblud returned

from retirement. A team to watch

next season!

Gone and mostly forgotten . . . .

Black Mountain Marauders – Baron Kurt Herzgerwoden promised to cover the players in gold if they won the Border

Princes Cup. They did by fielding a giant causing the Baron and the team to go bust!

Haffenheim Hornets – Mistaken for a pre-match snack in 2460 and eaten out of existence by the Oldheim Ogres!

Stirland Hotspurs – In a match against the Slaaneshi Sidewinders, the Slaanesh scrimmage line mutated into

Chaos Spawn and merged with the Hotspurs team in a giant fleshy mess! Yuck!

Gridiron Gazette - Humans

Editors notes:

Some of the players, staff and officials listed here may no longer be considered entirely human . . . but they were once

when they started and so their ‘human’ selves are listed with their human originating teams.

The players here are also from a myriad of timelines – there are quite a number of decades from when we last saw

Massif Bofine on the pitch (he would be considered a Gold Era star) compared to when the Bad Bay Hackers were

formed.

Normally at Gridiron Gazette we would respect the wishes of officials to remain racially non-specific. However, due to

the need to catalgoue as many as possible, a number of assumptions have been made on some of these officials being

human. Likewise, others have been missed out (such as Nikk Threehorn) who will appear in a later issue more themed

to them.

Looking ahead . . . .

In issue 2 of the Gridiron Gazette we’ll be focused on one team to finish off the Human review – the Reikland Reavers!

Yes those glory boys have a history so rich that we can devote an entire issue to the Reavers and all of their staff and

fans.

We’ll be Answering at such questions as . . . . .

➢ What is it with Griff Oberwald’s teeth?

➢ Talking of teeth . . . . why does Mighty Zug have so many . . . ?

➢ Just how many Griegor Meissen’s are there?

For all that and so much more, join us next month for a Reavers Gazette special – huzzah!
