League Website (https://gitpbloodbowlleague.wordpress.com/teams-2/)
Welcome one and welcome all!
I am your Commissioner for the inaugural season of The Blood Bowl League. I am the Frogman, and I am thrilled that we have a league running and ready to go! Now before we let the players take to the pitch, there are a few things that must be addressed.
First, I have worked with some old wizard friends of mine and made a league website. While all the needed elements will be on this thread, the league website will offer thoughts from me as well as some extra nuggets. My wizards gave me the free version of their work, and they are... well they aren't really wizards at this sort of thing... so forgive the amateur nature of it. It does have team pictures though, so there's that!
League Website/ (https://gitpbloodbowlleague.wordpress.com/)
Also, since we have all of the managers together in one room before the fights break out, I wanted to have an impromptu managers' meeting. Looking through the rules, are there any that need to be addressed or even changed? Here are the
This is not a normal Bloodbowl League. Each player manages a team by choosing the players, upgrades, and support for the team. You also will choose how to prepare your team for that particular match against your opponent. Matches are then simulated using an AI vs AI match in Cyanide's 2012 game Bloodbowl Chaos Edition (you do not need this to join). Results from that match will be posted in the Results Thread. Players then use the SPP to upgrade their players and the money to upgrade their team before the next week's match.
League Weekly Schedule (Deadline is 11:00pm PST)
Saturday/Sunday: Matches are simulated and the results are posted in the Results Thread
Tuesday: Roster updates are due. Please mark any changes in Bold
Wednesday: Inducements are calculated and teams can post their Gameplans
If you're finding money tight either for Inducements or for your team you may write something related to the league and receive a 25% discount on one Inducement or an extra $10,000 in winnings from the upcoming match.
Wednesday: Inducements and Gameplans are due. Any articles for the week must be written by this point as well. If you feel that you cannot choose your Inducements or Gameplan for a week let the me know and either I or a watcher will get one set up for you
Competition Match Schedule
Teams will be split into two divisions, teams will play round robin. At the end of the round robin, the top teams will be placed in a single-elimination playoff until the champion is crowned!
How to get Involved
Getting Started
First off download the rules linked at the top. Give them a read through so you have a basic understanding of Bloodbowl and then pick a team from the end of the rulebook or the end of this post and set up a roster. An example roster can be found in the second post. Post your roster here and you're good to go. If more than four teams are submitted before Sunday I'll select four rosters randomly for the tournament. If you aren't chosen and I decide to run more than just this tournament I'll get in contact with everyone who applied in this thread during the planning phase for the season.
As this is an Exhibition Tournament all teams will have $1,000,000 to start the tournament with and veteran players are not available. Should we continue to future seasons returning teams may start with more (including possibly bringing back the returning treasuries and players from teams who played in Crow's Season 7 pending a conversation with everyone involved).
Gameplan Points
Blood Bowl is a complex game to coach, and the AI does its level best by following broad hints to player roles from the skills they have. If you give your catcher a Passing skill like Accurate, the AI might not use him as a catcher anymore, but instead use him to throw the ball. In short, develop your players how you would like them to be used, and the AI will tend to use them that way (though not always!). If you need a certain player to carry the ball, giving a stat bonus in agility will greatly increase his chances of being used.
To that end, every week, each owner will gain 5 Gameplan Points to help customize the actions of their players . These points will be lost if not spent for the upcoming match. You may use these points in the following ways:
1 GPP: 1 Cheerleader or 1 Assistant coach
2 GPP: 1 Regular Skill, or +1 AV
3 GPP: 1 Doubles Skill, or +1 MV
4 GPP: +1 AG
5 GPP: +1 ST
Each player can receive one of these boosts.
Inducement Changes
Some inducements are a huge pain to mod into the game. When the AI runs the matches, I cannot pick the team's inducements, and must manually edit them into a save game. To make this easier on me, I have changed the following inducements:
Wizard: The wizard now gives one player of your choice a temporary +1 to any attribute (Strength, Agility, etc), plus one temporary skill which may be any that the player could normally take on a non-doubles advancement roll.
Bloodweiser Babes: Price reduced to 25,000. The babes will now give the player of your choice +1 AV for the next match. Hopefully enough to keep him from suffering an unfortunate injury!
Bribes: Price reduced to 50,000. Player of your choice gains the Dirty Player and Sneaky Git skills for the next match.
Star Players
You may also use any Star Player found in the Competition Rules Pack for the listed price in inducements. Star Players not found in the CRP may be available for use in the future, but being a brand new league, we cannot afford them at this time.
EDIT: There is a new set of guidelines for available Star Players:
When opting for a Star Player, there are two options that will be available:
1. Take one of the true Star Players available for your team. Here is a list of each Star Player for each team:
Iron Lads: Grim Ironjaw, Morg n Thorg, Zara the Slayer
Red Brick Killaz: Ripper, Varag Ghoul-Chewer, Morg n Thorg, Scrappa Sorehead, Bomber Dribblesnot
Halhokki Tapio: Jordell Freshbreeze, Morg n Thorg, Eldril Sidewinder
Watchtower Wiccans: Horkon Heartripper, Morg n Thorg, Eldril Sidewinder
Landerned Landwasters: Morg n Thorg, Zara the Slayer, Icepelt Hammerblow
hell: Count Luthor von Drakenborg, Nekbrekerekh, Ramtut III
Green Wave: Morg n Thorg, Scrappa Sorehead, Bomber Dribblesnot
2. There is a list of "Classic All-Stars" that was made available in a previous iteration of the GiTP Blood Bowl League. These are more options for Star Players that can be made available...
N.B. All Stars have the Loner skill in addition to those listed.

Apothecary Usage
In order to give you more control of who your apothecary is used on, you may elect to use them after the match. Keep in mind that should you do so, should the apothecary reroll the injury into being badly hurt the player cannot return to the match. Let me know if you want your apothecary to be used after the match in the same post as your Gameplan and Inducements. If you do not say they are sitting out I will assume they are being used during the match. in case you need a reminder!
Also, here are the rules for Blood Bowl (https://athelassan.webs.com/Competition%20Rules%20Pack.pdf) in case you need a refresher on how this sport is played. Since you are the team manager, let's hope for your players' sake that you know what's going on... :smalltongue:
That should be it... what? One more thing? Okay, it seems that I forgot to mention the preview post. For each team that shares a team logo, team history, and team preview for the upcoming season, we will be giving an extra 10k gold if you submit all three things. Wait, that can't be right. What? It is? I guess that is what your team would make in jersey sales, so that's your cut. Take advantage because that offer is only good until the first game is played!
Once again, I am thrilled that you are here, and I am confident that this season will be nothing short of a success. Season schedule will go up tomorrow, and the first games of the season will be taking place next week. Best of luck to all and may the Blood Bowliest manager win!

Championship Week:
We did it! It was an incredible season, but all incredible things must come to an end. Here is the recap of the championship game. Thanks for a great season everyone!
Holhokki Tapio vs Red Brick Killaz
Killaz get +1 FAME
What has been a WILD and WACKY season is finally coming to a fantastically fabulous finale! That’s right fans, we have made it to the last dance. It’s CHAMPIONSHIP time, and everyone knows this is sure to be a fight to the finish!
First we have the Orc team, the Red Brick Killaz, led by their fearless manager Big Red! They have fought hard all season, making heads roll and opponents howl in horror, and they have punched their way into the championship!
On the other side, we have the Wood Elves, Holhokki Tapio, led by their manager Thorne Lempo in an unforgettable season. These Elves have blazed past countless opponents on their path to an undefeated season and a chance to put a poetic end to this prodigious period.
As the teams line up for the coin toss, you can feel the tension rising in the arena, and the fans are all for it! They are roaring with a roar we have yet to hear, and the sound is almost deafening! Killaz win the toss, and they will be receiving the kick. Let’s get this championship going! I can’t wait anymore!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_1(15).PNG
The kick goes up, and Speed Launcha is back to retrieve it. Speed Launcha started the season red hot for the Red Brick Killaz, but he seems to have cooled off as the season has wore on. He’s going to look to turn that around though, as he eyes a quick score for the Orcs.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_Speed_Launcha_takes_it_to_midfield.PNG
It seems he’s going to have to work that much harder though, as Henkikuus lands a painful branch onto Franken, and the big Orc is knocked out of this one almost immediately!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_Henk_kos_Black_Orc_early_i_think_Slammer.PNG
The Orcs are not a team that backs down easily though! Speeder plants gargantuan green fist onto the unassuming Darktrunk, and the Elf goes down hard! Trainers rush to the field, and it looks like Darktrunk’s day is over early. He’s badly hurt, and those trainers are going to take some extra time to work him over. He may be back next season, but he’s done for this one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_Speeder_Badly_Hurts_Darktrunk.PNG
Speed Launcha and the Orcs are bottled up at midfield, and it seems the Elves are working a strong strategy of blocking all the running lanes. They’re playing a smart defense here, staying just out of reach of those massive green bodies and forcing the Killaz to be perhaps a bit too patient.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_Speed_Launca_and_the_Orcs_are_clogged_at_mid field.PNG
Dayleaf is going to blitz and punish the Orcs for their patience and apprehension! He lands a surprise blow onto Speed Launcha, and the ball pops loose! It bounces into the hands of… no wait! It bounces out into the hands of… no wait! The ball bounces around and around, it goes through the hands of seven different players, but it ultimately lands on the turf just along the sideline! It’s a mad scramble for the ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_number_4_blitzes_and_forces_fumble_ball_fumb les_through_countless_players_hands.PNG
It’s no surprise to see the Elves win the foot race here, and… Sunthicket fails to scoop the ball! It’s a HUGE surprise, but the Elves fail to recover a fumble, and the Orcs have their opening!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_rare_failed_pickup_by_elves_as_sunthicket_dr ops_scoop.PNG
Speeder recovers the ball! Orcs lunge all over the Elves, and there are multiple Elves down, and no clear path to Speeder! The Killaz take advantage of the momentary chaos, and they find themselves in an incredibly favorable position!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_Speeder_scoops_ball_and_takes_off.PNG
What was that?! Henkikuus and multiple Elves foul Jugger! I cannot believe the dirty tactic displayed here, and I am even more disappointed in the no-call by the refs! How can they not see that! He looks… Jugger looks like he’s dead folks.
Wait.
It seems the Killaz have brought their Apothecary to the game today, and he’s going to look over the Orc. He waves some green arms in a confusing motion, and… Jugger is alive! Trainers are looking around, understandably confused, and I am receiving word that Jugger has risen from the dead, but he now has a smashed hip. I suppose life for a hip is a fair trade, but his day is over.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_Orc_was_dead_but_salvaged_and_only_has_Smas hed_Hip.PNG
After the momentary pause, Speeder runs hard for the endzone, and the Elves are going to have a hard time catching him. His shuffle furiously across the field, and… HE SCORES! The Killaz go up early in this one, and Speeder has put his team ahead in this one 1-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_Speeder_scores.PNG
There isn’t too much time left in the first half, but these Wood Elves have shown that they can score at just about any time from anywhere. Nightthorn recovers the kick, and she takes off to midfield. It’s… it’s just unbelievable, but you can already see Clifbranch has slithered his way deep into Orc land, and it should surprise no one to see Holhokki Tapio setting up one of their explosive passing plays here late in the first half.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_clifbranch_deep_in_Killaz_territory_and_you _can_see_the_pass_play_forming.PNG
Nightthorn manages to skirt a few defenders, and she… WHAT A PASS! Masta Chuck is there defending, but he just has NO chance to stop this play! What a pass by Nightthorn, and a great display of concentration by Clifbranch as he manages to secure the catch!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_Masta_Chuck_is_there_to_defend_but_he_cant_ prevent_the_short_pass.PNG
Clifbranch shakes the defender, and… HE SCORES! Clifbranch with the incredible catch and run, and he is going to tie this one up at 1! The bell sounds, and we are going into halftime with the Red Brick Killaz and Holhokki Tapio knotted up at one! This is still anyone’s game!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_Clifbranch_scores.PNG
And with the teams rushing to the locker rooms, it’s time for our halftime show.
First, we would like to take a moment to honor this year's Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year!
First, our Offensive Player of the Year. It was a great season offensively for many teams, but there is one player that seemed to dominate the season from beginning to end. Ladies and Gentlemen, your first Offensive Player of the Year is...
Faba Hellblade!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Faba_Hellblade.PNG
Our Defensive Player of the Year was a much tighter race. There were many great candidates, and many players received votes, but at the end of the day... the Defensive Player of the Year was...
Durd Elf-Pounder!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Durd_Elf-Pounder.PNG
Congratulations to both players for a great season! It is always great to be recognized for hard work, and both of these players really earned it!
And now... ladies and gentlemen… Smaashmouth!

Holhokki Tapio is set to receive the kick to start the second half, and they have to be feeling good about where they sit so far. They have a chance to go up 2-1 on the Killaz, but the Orcs do have a pretty punchy defense. We’ll see if the Elves can manage to pull off another impressive passing play or if the Orcs can punch their way through the Elves to a defensive score.
The kick goes up, and Nightthorn recovers.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_second_half_Nightthorn_recovers_kick.PNG
Clifbranch begins his work of snaking through the Orc formation, and… HE STUMBLES! Clifbranch hits the grass, and he is slow to get up! It looks like he has stunned himself, and he might have pushed himself just a bit too hard here. This may be just the opening the Killaz need!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_clifbranch_runs_to_his_place_deep_downfield _but_trips_and_stuns.PNG
The Killaz try to get through to Nightthorn, but she manages to find the edge, and she slips just out of their grasp! She hands the ball of to Dayleaf, and… he manages to take the ball further from the Orcs! These explosive Elves are sprinting all over the field, and Dayleaf finds… Sunthicket wide open! It’s a VERY short pass, but he does manage to succeed in the team’s second handoff of this play! What an incredible play set up by Holhokki Tapio here in the second half! It seems to have twisted the Killaz into all sorts of knots, and I know that I am struggling to keep up!

Sunthicket takes the ball, and he has a clear opening to the endzone! Sunthicket takes off, and… HE SCORES! Sunthicket with a great score puts Holhokki Tapio up 2-1!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_21_Elf_11_scores.PNG
The kick goes up, and it goes into the hands of Masta Chuck. The Orcs are running out of time, but they can pull this one into a draw still, maybe even pull off the win. First, we need to see what play they have drawn up right now. Whatever tricks they have in their arsenal, now is the time to use it! And they use it! Masta Chuck takes off for midfield, but Speeder manages to blindside Clifbranch!
I cannot believe it!
A GREAT shot by Speeder, and Clifbranch hits the field hard! He’s already been stunned once, but he looks like he’s in real pain after that hit! Trainers rush the field, and… it seems the Apothecary is going to be summoned for this one. The Apothecary shoves the trainers to the side, and he looks over Clifbranch. Clifbranch yelps in pain, and… it’s a smashed knee! I don’t know what injury he had before, but I can’t imagine Clifbranch is thrilled with the work of the Apothecary here. Regardless, his day is over.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_22_Smashed_Knee_for_Clifbranch.PNG
But it seems the Eves are not happy about that shot! Elves swarm the ball, and… IT’S A FUUUMBLE! I cannot believe this! The ball lands in the hands of Nightthorn, and she looks just as surprised as I am! Nightthorn takes off!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_23_Forced_fumble_into_hands_of_Elf_who_runs_it _in_immediately.PNG
After the surprising late fumble, Nightthorn has plenty of daylight, and she wastes no time in putting this one away! She punches the ball in for Holhokki Tapio, and as the bell sounds, it seems Holhokki Tapio has JUST WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP 3-1! What an incredible finish to an incredible season for Holhokki Tapio, and they must be so incredibly proud of their hard work this season! The Red Brick Killaz definitely have plenty to be proud of in this one, but tonight is Holhokki Tapio’s night. They hoist the trophy, and gold has never looked so good on an Elf!

A wave of eerie purple smoke rolls out from the Witches' bench. The thunder-like crack of a whip breaks the tension, and several silhouettes emerge from the dark fog. Elegant, refined strides. The pale elves are hauntingly beautiful, and their leader is clearly the Witch Elf clutching the whip at the front of the formation. The rest of the team fans out behind her in a V formation, and a low chant in the Elven tongue. "As the gods have chosen us to rule the underground underneath our boots, so shall we crush our opponents beneath our heels. We fight for the glory of the Watchtower and the Witch King." Even without their interference, the lights in the stadium seem to dim slightly in the presence of the dark magics on display, and the elves finish their chant with a flourished bow before spreading out to their positions on the field. The time was nigh.
"The celebration of our match against the Landwasters was dignified, as is worthy of our noble lineage. The blood spilled on the pitch is always unfortunate, but it is the expected result of those who will not bow their wills to us. We will see to it that Mistress 'Butterfingers' Faba rests her clearly injured hands, as it is the only possible explanation for her ... less-than-stellar performance on the field. We look forward to meeting our opponents on the field of battle next week, where we expect to keep up our undefeated streak."
Reporter: "Stotch Margrave, Talabec Tribune. Are you really claiming an undefeated streak despite your first game ending in a draw?"
"We did not lose, because we do not lose. The Witches will prepare their hardest to kick more britches next week, in what will surely be an entertaining match."
As promised, we have managed to hold our undefeated position. Glory-eternal is bring brought to us with each bout, each touchdown, and each knocked-down foe who stand in our way. The Team Management would like to take a moment to thank Lerite Bloodstriker for their continued ferocity and dedication towards the annihilation of our foes. Rest assured, we may be one of the less-armored teams in the league, but we have repeatedly proven that we can hit just as hard as the Orcs and the Norsemen. With this announcement, we are also starting a line of collectable action-figures featuring the all-stars of our team, and the first player to be forever dignified with this honor will of course be Lerite Bloodstriker. His figure features his Death-Inducing-Grip (TM)*, and one vial of Myomal's Imitation Blood, so that the kids at home can recreate their favorite brutality of their favorite Watchtower Wiccan.
*Death-Inducing-Grip not available at all retailers. Figures with Death-Inducing-Grip not intended for use by children under the age of 3, or beings of Chaos with more than 5 Tentacles. Ask your local apothecary before handling Myomal's Imitation Blood if you are in regular contact with magical residue.

''Ogres Ogres Ogres''
For generations, the Ogres were hired muscle for some of the weaker teams in Blood bowl. A particularly skilled Ogre, Karak Bone-Chewer decided it was time for the Ogres to bond together and create their own Blood Bowl team. He contacted the best and brightest Ogres he could find as he looked to take the league over by storm with his fellow Ogres.
They weren't interested.
Instead, Karak had to recruit some local Ogres that were unfamiliar with Blood Bowl. With a promise of smashing opponents, these Ogres were happy to join Karak's team, forming... the Green Wave.
A Green Moment
Meek: Hello fans of the Green Wave! I am team reporter Meek Mills, and I am thrilled to be covering the Green Wave over this season! These Ogres are eager and hungry for a title, and I have team captain Karak Bone-Chewer here for an exclusive interview. Karak, thank you for joining me!
Karak: Grrraaaaaagh!
Meek: It really is great to see an Ogre team take the field this season. How do you feel about your team's chances of making the playoffs?
Karak: Brrrrraaauuuugggghhh!
Meek: That sounds great! There is some concern among the fanbase that the Snotlings may not hold up this season. How is the team addressing those concerns?
Karak: Mmmmmmmuuuuuuaaarrrrr!
Meek: I see. Thank you so much for your time Karak, but I do have one last question for you. Some believe the Ogres are only interested in defense and smashing the opposition. What is your offensive approach to the game?
Karak: Grrraaaaaawwwwgggggg!
Meek: Well there you have it folks! It seems the Ogres have talked about some strategies and may surprise this season with a championship. Until next time, I'm Meek Mills and this has been a Green Moment!
Hey Green Wave fans!
My name is Oswald Thatendswald, and I am here live at the Blood Bowl League. After the loss, my colleague Meek disappeared, so I have been sent as his replacement. I am thrilled to have Urt Dwarf-Smasher here to get some thoughts on the recent loss. Urt, that was a tough loss out there. Can you tell us where things fell apart?
Urt: Grrrraaarrrrr!
Oswald: That is some great insight. I always thinks it's great to enter the mind of a Blood Bowl player, especially an Ogre player. There were some concerns about the Ogres of the Ogre team getting knocked around by the Orcs all match. Do you think your team was simply out-muscled this match?
Urt: ...GRRRRAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGG!
*CRACK*
*silence*
Hello Green Wave fans!
This is Lars Lars Pantsonfars coming at you from a Green Moment. It appears my colleague Oswald has disappeared, so I am excited to be replacing him at the Blood Bowl League for now. I'm actually a bit nervous though because this is my first time covering anything really. Who are you again?
Durd Elf-Pounder: Gruuuuuug
Lars: Of course. Durd Elf-Pounder. Let's see what questions they gave me... Okay! Is your team focused for the coming match?
Durd: Grraarrfghghh!!!
Lars: I'm not sure what to do with that... am I supposed to keep going? Oh, I'll just keep going. So it says that the Landwast... Landerned Landwasters recently suffered some casualties, so how is the Green Wave planning to go at this team?
Durd: Bwaaaaaarrrrrgghhh!!!
Lars: How do you spell that? Oh forget it, I'll just write bashing them. So there was some concern that bone-headed performances may continue to plague this team in big moments. Do you think...
*CRRRAAACK!!!!*
Durd: Graaarrrr!
silence.
Walt: Hello everyone! This is Walt R U Doing, and I am thrilled to be here for all of you Blood Bowl fans! It seems that my associate has disappeared, so I have been sent to interview Gog Face-Smasher. Gog, thank you so much for taking the time.
Gog: MRRRRAAWWWWRRR!!!
Walt: I see. You face the Rabid Weasels this week! That is a pretty fast team. How are you planning to reign in that high level of speed?
Gog: GGGGGRRRRRAARRRRR
Walt: Bash 'em up. Got it! Some fans have noticed that Zeet Quarterpounder had a nice showing last week, and I was wondering if you could comment.
Gog: GGRRRAAARRRRRRRR!!!!
Walt: Yes, he is quite impressive on his feet. Do you think he can help keep up with the Weasels at all?
Gog: GGRRRRROOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!
Walt: Yeah, it will be a challenge still. Good call. After your win last week, fans were incredibly surprised to see you pull off the win. Most expected the Green Wave to lose out. What do you say...
Gog: MMMMRRRRAAAAAWWWWRRRRRRR!!!!!
*crack*
silence.
Fans of the Green Wave, this is Thor Fromworkingouttoomuch, and I’m coming to you live from the Blood Bowl League with our favorite team... the Green Wave! I have Durd with me, and after my colleague’s recent disappearance, he has agreed to meet with me. Durd, another impressive win!
Durd: Ggggrrrrrrraaaaaa!!!
Thor: You particularly had a great game, and the Snotlings did great, particularly ahead who had his first score! What did you think of his showing?
Durd: Rrrrruuuuuurrrrrrrr!!!!
Thor: So you’re facing Halhokki Tapio, and it seems that they’re down some players. With so many journeymen on the team, what’s your approach to handle a team that you don’t have much scouting on?
Durd: Ggggggrrrrrrrkkkkkkkoooooowwwww!!!
Thor: Smash a way through them and make space for Snotlings? Seems like a sound idea. They are undefeated though. Does that change your approach?
Durd: Gggggggaaaarrrroooooo!!!!
Thor: No? Cool! So fans are wondering if this season has been too easy? First you beat a battered Norse team, then a winless Skaven team without a manager. With a battered Elf team next, is your easier schedule really the reason your team has been doing well?
*crack*
Silence.
Welcome Green Wave fans! I am Woodrow Butdonthaveapaddle, and I am coming at you live! My colleague Thor has gone missing, so I have been sent to handle a preview for the coming week!There is so much to be excited about after that draw against the previously scorching-hot Halhokki Tapatio Elves, and I have Durd who is here to talk about that impressive game. Durd, thank you for taking the time to chat!
Durd: Grrrrgggggggg!!!
Woodrow: Many fans are starting to notice the effort of the Ogres as the season has progressed. While the Snotlings have been performing well all season, how does it feel to have the Ogres running at full speed?
Durd: DDDDRRRRRRAAAAAAGGHHHHH!!!
Woodrow: Of course. It feels great! This week you are up against the offensive juggernaut Faba Hellblade and the Elven Wiccans. You just had a tie against an Elf team. Think you can repeat?
Durd: GGRERRRERRERERE!!!!
Woodrow: Of course! You want the win! They do have the deadly Lerite and his impressive kill score this season. The Ogres have yet to get a kill though, are you concerned at all about...
*CRACK!*
Silence.
A Green Moment
As we begin the second half of the season, I felt that it was important for me to look at the past few weeks and highlight the Green Wave. The Green Wave may be an Ogre team, but we are hardly a primitive team. The Ogres have displayed great developmental skils, and what was once a team of Bone-Headed Ogres is now a team of brawling beasts that can maneuver the field quite well. Their ability to adapt to the league has lead to a winning record, and a season that I believe could have Championship aspirations. Durd Elf-Pounder has been one of the more impressive Ogres on this team, and has played an instrumental role in helping the rest of the Ogres recognize where their impact can be had on the field.
The Snotlings have probably been the most surprising element on this team. They have scored all the points for this team, and they have proven to be a force on offense. Their defense is lacking, but this team seems to have found their balance on offensive and defensive impact.
Personally, I do wish we had one more Ogre, but I suppose that will come with time. In blocking drills, there is always one Ogre that is just pushing the air, and it shows on game day. I also hope to get an assistant coach soon. Keeping an Ogre team focused is hard work!
I am Tito Throughthetulips, and I am here live for the Green Wave! After the disappearance of my former colleague, I am thrilled to have Karak Bone-Chewer join me this week to discuss the upcoming matchup against Hug Em Like Lemons! Karak, how are you feeling this week?
Karak: Grrrarrrrrr!
Tito: A bit sore but thanks for asking? Of course! That... is my job! Anyways, you are up against a Necro team that has gone Necro due to a disappearing manager. How are you feeling about facing a team that has not been coached at all this season?
Karak: Mwwarrrrrrr!
Tito: Of course. A bit of extra confidence is always good. Some fans have been impressed with Never Lice, and he has developed quite the passionate fanbase. Any strategy for dealing with him?
Karak: Raaaawwwwrrr!!!!!
Tito: Seal the edges and force him into a crowded midfield? Smart tactic! So with the playoffs right around the corner, is there any team you are eager to match up against?
Karak: Grrrrrrrr!
Tito: You want a rematch against the Wiccans? Interesting. You know, after that loss last week, some fans are thinking the Ogres lucky season may have ended...
*CRACK*
silence.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELCOME IN!
My name is Andy Leftearly, and I am thrilled to announce that the Green Wave have surprised everyone and made the playoffs! I am just as stunned as you are, so let's talk to one of the players. Ganondorf, how are you feeling?
Ganondorf: UUuuuuugghhhhh!
Andy: Of course you're feeling great about the playoffs! Who wouldn't?! What do you think led to such a surprisingly successful season?
Ganondorf: Grrrrarrrrrr!!!
Andy: Yes, of course! The ability to bash. It has been noted that the Green Wave was possibly one of the bashiest teams this season... maybe even the bashiest. Do you think You have a chance at the championship?
Ganondorf: MRRAAAAWWWRRRR!
Andy: Of course you do! So, you face the Landerned Landwasters this week. You played them once and beat them after they lost three players to deaths. They are finally fully rostered. Think that changes anything?
Ganondorf: MRRRAAAWWRRRRRR!
Andy: I felt the same. With your ability to punch through any line, it could be a messy game. After the countless Bone-Headed plays by you guys last week, do you really think you'll be able to stay focused in this one now that it is playoff time?
Ganondorf: GGRRAWWRRRRR!

''Paint da grass Red wid der Blood!''
Big Red had a problem. His waagh was too successful. Wiping out towns and cities had become too easy. There'd be no survivers to spread fear for when his name was voiced or even merely thought of. Then one day one of his lieutenants told da boss about blood bowl. A new challenge with plenty of strategy and tactics where news of his victories would go far and wide. Big Red was instantly sold on the idea and began his own team to fill in the times between waaghs.
Their mortal enemies were glad that their lives would continue, at least as long as the blood bowl season lasted. They actually hoped orc blood bowl victories would lead the orc army to championships in other parts of the continent, leaving them safe for now.
A Green and Red Moment
The Ogre Green Wave made their way to their sideline. A rumble began from beyond the small hill serving as the unbuilt stadium's seating opposite the ogres. Dust clouds became visible over the hilltop as the rumbling grew. Cresting the hill was the vanguard of an orc army, muscular green skin with red spiky armor. They halted about halfway down the hill. It was unknown how many more thousands of orcs were still out of sight. One figure stood out in size. It was a cyborg orc with a giant hydraulic crushing claw in place of one hand. The figure used his claw to point forward and downward to the field. A subset of the orcs followed their leader to the sideline and onto the field. The cyborg looked at their opponents of the day. He chuckled loudly when he saw the mass of puny snotlings. Look boyz! They brought snacks for us to feast on after the game. Pound them all into paste while scoring. Now go make me proud!
The orcs around the orc leader raised their fists and in unison called out BIG RED! The call was repeated by the thousands of orcs on the hill and behind it. "BIG RED!" The field shook from the call. The smell of fear spread quickly among the non-orc fan areas. Would they be pounded too if the orcs lost? The call came again. "BIG REDDDD!"
Big Red let his team and the fans enjoy the win. His thoughts were already on the game for the coming week. How were his brutes supposed to brutalize elves from the sideline? Franken's leg had popped out of his hip so it would take time to heal even for a black-orc with a doc. His lieutenant, the same that told Big Red of Blood Bowl in the first place said we should bring our medic to the next game. Big Red looked at him then backhanded him across the room. "You forgot to have Doc Mec come too? Get him here before the next game or we'll use you for spare body parts!" Big Red wasn't ready to feed Sincarnut to the goblins over this, but the threat had the orc out the door quick.
Doc Mek did arrive before the next game, but it was too late to get Frankin ready in time. Big Red looked down the hill at the orc vs orc scrimage going on. He pointed to an orc on the practice team that looked to be the most competent. "Hey! Fenkur! You are playing against the Dark Elfies. Make me proud!"
Big Red watched the game against the dark elven killers with enthusiasm. The norse deaths at the hands of the elves in the elves' last game just helped fuel the adrenaline in the orcs for their chance to melee with them. The orc Killaz were bashing the elves well. The elves started returning the favor with making casualties. Bad Dog went down. Nothing surprising for Big Red. Losing one orc among thousands wouldn't be noticed. When Runnin Wild was down and declared dead the Boss called out to his medic. "Doc Mek! Get over there and fix'm up." The doc met the body dumped on the sideline, spine broken and sticking out the back. Doc Mek wasn't phased. It was a challenge to his skills. He went to work. When an orc thinks something will work, it tends to do so!
Big Red's attention went back to the game and the time left. He called out to the field. "Alright Boyz, enough fun. Score now and steal the win from those dancing daises!" Speed Launcha knew better than disappoint the Boss so he raced into the end-zone as time ran out. Not a win, but the orc's fan base grew with the bloody action offered to the crowds.
By the time Doc Mek was finished, long after the game was over, Runnin Wild was still actually alive after Doc stuffed the spine parts back in and patched the insides with some sturdy metal cables. "Sorry boss, Runnin is still ticking but needs ta heal and won't be as fast as he used ta." Big Red shook his head. He had thousands of replacements up on the hill but the league rules about having to "buy" players with money won from blood bowl meant he'd have to deal with Runnin some other time.
Game time had arrived. Big Red gathered His team. "Alright Boyz. Remember the grand river with massive trees on either side we saw a couple of weeks ago? Remember the three elven towns we flattened there? Well, THOSE elves over there are the ones that ran away even before the fun started. They think they can get us back for it in a game. HA! Well, REMEMBER the fun we had back at the river! Time to bring back that fun. I want you smash those elves making way to get the ball in for scores. Now go make me proud!"
The team called out. "BIG RED!"
The orc multitudes on the hillside echoed back. "BIG RED!"
Big Red inwardly grimaced. A loss?! At least it was bloody and the fans enjoyed it, which helped hire another biggun. Grinder was added to the team and Runnin Wild was sent up into the fans, his time on the field over after the warped hips he ended up with.
The day after the loss Big Red gathered the team. "Alright boyz, great smashing on elves yesterday. We need to work on scoring. Smashing and scoring is what we want. The rats this week are fast and good at slipping away. Smasher and Wall? Keep working on blocking with me. Maybe someday you stupid brutes will remember how to do it for good without falling down. Snoop and Bob, how about actually doing something on the field. Don't you want da boyz up on the hill to chant your name? Give'm a reason! The rest of you work on cagin and protecting the orc wid da ball. Come game day, for each smash I'll send in 3 gretchin as snacks at halftime. Six for each score! Same thing for after the game. Now get out there and practice!" Big Red had some gretchin join the practice squad to give the boys some slippery targets.
Runnin Wild had been retired and stood among the other fans in the stands watching the game against the Skaven. His own bashing days on the blood bowl field were over. He did remember Big Red's words to Snoop Dog and Bob about getting the fans to cheer their names. Bob was an orc that Runnin Wild respected for some weird orc reason. Sooo... during the game the retired line orc just started cheering for Bob. Slowly the orc fans joined in. Slowly the no-orc fans joined in. Game over, Bob was voted MVP. Who'd have thunk?
There was far less rat smashing than Big Red had hoped for. The win and the winnings helped. Those unmanaged rats definitely knew how to stay alive. Big Red headed to see the commissioner to collect his winnings and notify him of his roster changes- the newest player Jugger, the early retirement of Snoop Dog, and making Runnin Wild an official mascot. While the commissioner made his notes Big Red noticed the standings chart. His green forehead started to turn a shade of red. Why are we third? We have the better div record. Those Wasters have a broken team. They've barely spilled any blood on the field. What gives? The orc warlord towered over the commissioner, impatient for an answer.
The standings chart was fixed on the spot.
See the "two weeks left before the playoffs" mega-post here (https://forums.giantitp.com/showsinglepost.php?p=24888542&postcount=18).
"WAAAAAAGHH!!!"
That was the sound that echoed across the sky as Slammer single handedly slammed the dwarven deathroller. As the officials tried to figure out how to move the illegal contraption the orc war cry grew and grew. The snack shed collapsed under the sonic pummeling killing the snotlings manning snotling in it (maybe the dwarves can do something useful and rebuild it before next weeks games? The league needs profits!) It was only discovered later that the orc crowd-adrenaline spontaneously instigated two small orc waaghs that each flattened a nearby town and made it back in time for the end of the match.
Who knows what supplies will be short supply from the loss of those towns? Perhaps the snack booth (if rebuilt in time) will have to serve up snotlings as snacks themselves. Surely that will give a boost in sales from the orc fans! Supply queries have been made to the ogre team for the source of their snotlings.
For the second half of the game against the dwarves, the Killaz on the field knew their game plans. Big Red was a warlord and always thought big picture. He initiated his own strategic plans. He had his staff, particularly mascots Runnin Wild and Snoop Dog, move among the fans of all sorts and start spreading information. His goal, to make sure the fans knew who to vote for MVP next week. He wants to hear them screaming Big Red and Killaz!
Speed Launcha - Offensive league MVP
- Everyone knows when he scores the team ALWAYS wins
- Lead the team to conquer their division
- 1st place for scores per yard run, more successful runs than any other!
- Tied for 1st in scores made with far fewer drops than those he's tied with.
- Top 3 for star points earned
- Top 5 for yards run
- Better catcher than any dark elf
- Doesn't funble pickups like the other scoring leaders
Da Wall - Defensive league MVP
- Among the best in causing causualties
- A black orc tied for first for interceptions, better than any elf!
- A massive brute even by black orc standards, without the downsides of players on other teams with similar strength
Slammer - Defensive league MVP
- Among the best in causing causualties
- One of the best players making KOs. Gog may have more KOs but he still hasn't spilt real blood!
- Singlehanded took out the league's biggest toughest player, the dwarven death-roller! What better reason?
Other points spread among the multitudes...
- The Wiccans had an impressive start, but are fading away. Couldn't even hurt or beat rats!
- The Green Wave also know how to hit hard, but the Killaz know how to score too!
- Do you want to be around when a non-orc wins MVP? Think of your loved ones, vote orcs!
- The Killaz under Big Red are the most famous around. (Fan Factor 8)
It was the day before the final game of the regular season. Big Red was holding meetings with his commanders to plan future waaaghs after the finals, win or lose. The Red Brick Killaz were assured a place in the playoffs. Final prep for the game against the weak undead was left to the assistant coaches. That all led to Big Red not being around when a large crate the size of a wartruck with numerous small holes arrived. The note on it was a barely legible "Thanks from Ogres." The team opened it and it was packed full of snotlings! The boyz immediately tore into the free feast! The gorging went on late into the night.
It was the day of the final game of the regular season. Big Red woke and headed to the grand tent atop the hill next to the playing field. The commisioner had issue with the location but wanted no part of starting an argument with blood thirsty orcs celebrating. The tent had belonged to some "circus" thing at one of the nearby towns the orcs had wiped after the dwarf deathroller was taken down by Slammer. The orcs didn't care what the tent was for, but they had been happy to find lots of unusual animals locked up in cages. Some were quite tasty. The tent was now for the Killaz team players who were on quite a winning streak.
Big Red entered the tent and found the whole team in a glutonous slumber. The warlord's rage caused a reinforced hydraulic pipe in his power claw to burst. The busted claw meant assistant coach Stormkiller only suffered many busted ribs instead of being chopped in two as his body was sent flying across the tent. Stormkiller learned his lesson and wouldn't let it happen again. It was too late for the players though. Their game that day was sluggish and an embarrassment for Big Red. Fortunately the Killaz fans were already expecting a bloodless game since the undead don't have blood and were too excited for the coming playoffs to let the undead game annoy them.
It was the week before the Friendly Scrimmage. Big Red and the coaches worked the team hard. The commissioner may have some ritual to heal players after the game but Big Red wants the elves to feel pain and defeat in the meantime. The boyz want revenge!

The Landwasters are the fourth team to play regularly at the Bad Badenhof Recreational Ground (the "Bad Wreck"). Representing Norse exiles who had found themselves resident in the Empire, Manfred Man began putting together a Blood Bowl team of his comrades. Skeggjold, formerly of Die Valkyrie, provided publicity and used her contacts to secure an interview with the veteran team owner Aedilred, who agreed to accommodate and train the team. Funding was subsequently supplied by retired superstar Morr E.N. Tezz, in need of an investment vehicle for the lucre assembled over his career and subsequent endeavours in modelling, publishing, product endorsement etc.
When the Exhibition Tournament stalled, the Landwasters went on the road, but have now returned to the Wreck to play out the new season.

The Holhokki Tapio had long guarded the wood, protecting the flora and fauna from depredations, both intended and casual. It wasn't until a band of halflings approached the Glade and asked for something unheard of - special permission to speak with the Tree Spirits. It seems they wished for the Trees that Walk to join them in some strange contest. Even more strangely, the Trees agreed. A contingent of the Wood Elves accompanied 2 Trees that Walk to a gathering made up of dozens of races and nationalities...a Blood Bowl tournament! Thorne Lempo was so inspired by the competition and violent pageantry that he was moved to create a team. A season later, and the Wood Elves were prepared to field their first team. Now it remains to be seen if the Wardancers and their followers can restrain their more aggressive tendencies and follow the rules of the game!
The first battle match went favorably for Thorne and his team. The skaven lacked the courage and leadership necessary to overcome the clear physical superiority of those born to the wood, and the outcome was inevitable. The finer points of the game, especially the "managerial" elements are still a mystery to HolHokki Tapio, though, as it seems the purse of gold coins is an important element to the game.
Many of the other participants received far larger purses than the Wood Elves, but perhaps that is to be expected. The team will earn its supporters through exploits and success on the field of battle, and that will bring greater purses. The board shows the next match will pit the team against the loud, hearty and...deliberately paced...dwarves. Speed and evasion will be the key to success. Hopefully the elf queen will shine on her chosen defenders!
With sorrow and deep regret we mourn the passing of Oaksprout. His shell has been sent home so that he may nourish the forest that provided him life. It is tragic that he fell, not in defense of his land, but in what was supposed to be a sporting exhibition. It is no surprise that the dwarves - lacking in grace, athletic ability or sense of sport - would be the ones to taint the proceedings with a malicious attack. They are barely better than the orcs or ogres that tromp the ground looking for an opportunity to end a life...but at least those orcs and ogres have abrupt, brutal lives to blame for their shortsighted views. We expected more from the dwarves. They claim racial memory of their grudges, but now they will learn of the memory of the elves.
This week brings a battle against the orcs - for battle it will be. Sharpbriar and Nightthorn will lead the way. Speed and grace will still be our tools, but now we are awoken. These "Red Brick Killaz" must march perilously close to our forests on their way back to their clan. I do not doubt that they will regret that path. Let us hope that we can give them a taste of what awaits them on their long walk home.
The orcs, as is their wont, substituted brute force in place of grace, elegance or sport. They took delight in intentional injury to Clifbranch, Redtwig and Sunthicket, but all survived. Like the willow, the team bent but did not break, and like the willow switch, stung the Red Brick where it mattered most...on the scoreboard. Week 4 presents a mixed challenge...a team comprised of what orcs aspire to be and what often ends up in orcs' cooking pots. Ogres and snotlings. As always, speed and elusiveness will be the order of the day. To the good, the opponents do not have the same comprehensive strength and skill of Red Brick. To the bad, the snotlings might well prove elusive and troublesome. The team has been training and is really starting to gel, so the focus will be "Score first. Score often."
Curse that Crow and his prognostication. As he suggested, the ogres were able to send the valiant Wood Elves to the sidelines, allowing the otherwise dismissable Snotlings enough time and space to register a tying score. The team was surprised that a draw was a potential outcome, and while it quite probably benefited Holhokki Tapio this time around, it left a bad taste in their collective mouths. Speaking of a bad taste, the next opponent makes use of that most unnatural of beings...the undead. Even worse, the team includes werecreatures who should know better than to suffer the presence of these abberations. To the benefit of the Wood Elves, it appears that HELL lacks cohesive leadership and that should provide significant advantage. If our directed improvements and advances in practice technique can overcome the innate power and resiliency of the golems and abominations of HELL, Clifbranch, Nightthorn and Sharpbriar should be able to exploit the opposition's weaknesses - lack of speed and flexibility.
The wretched walking dead - and their wayward lycanthrope - are now in the rearview mirror. It took some doing to wash the stench of rotting flesh off the uniforms, but fortunately that was the largest price to pay. The next opponent seems to be a band of screaming northerners that are not currently tainted by the foulness of Chaos. That, at least, is going to be an improvement over last week. That being said, these Landwasters seem to be well versed in some of the blood bowl techniques - particularly those involving knocking people down. Early reports suggest yet another lycanthrope will be lining up against our team. Fortunately, we have finally received word that one of the great walking spirits has arrived. We'll give Henkikuus a quick primer on the rules of the game, and spend some time teaching him how to knock people down...without falling down himself. Hopefully the opponents won't understand he is new to the game and will dedicate a lot of attention to keeping him in check. That will allow Clifbrach, Sharpbriar and Nightthorn to cause their own brands of Blood Bowl havoc. With the Dark Elves on the horizon, Holhokki Tapio needs some additional polish and experience. Here's hoping that we earn that, and manage to avoid any serious damage!
The Norse proved capable adversaries when it came to violence, but Holhokki Tapio remained committed to the objective of the competition - score more touchdowns than your opponents. Henkikuus is slowly learning the ways of the game, and seems properly engaged, and Sharpbriar has shown development in on-field skills. Now, though, comes a time of mixed priorities and emotions. The Dark Elves will take the field against us. Though we don't share the same history with them as our High Elf cousins, the Dark Elves are reviled as sadistic slavers lacking even a grudging respect for any life beyond what it can do to advance their own selfish whims. As such, they should be repudiated at every turn. On the other hand, the goal of the competition is to win the championship. The people who best understand this most human of designs tell us the game will not change our "seeding" for the "playoffs" as we hold the "head to head" tiebreaker against the potential rival for the "top seed". Their wisdom says to avoid risk of injury and field a team of less valuable players. We do not recognize value in the way these humans do, however, and we will take the field as we always do - with the intent to win. We will trust in our skill, our speed and our ability and let Nature sort us out.
It seems the competition has moved into a new phase - something called "Playoffs". The assigned opponent for the first match of these playoffs is the orcs we faced back in week three. They have grown more odious, but also in skill, so this will be a challenging match. As always, though, their feral nature can be turned against them and they remain vulnerable to distraction. It will be telling how they deal with Henkikuus, and the improved offensive threats of the Wardancers and Clifbranch. It is no secret Red Brick would prefer to soften us up for a potential future match. Instead, we will use this opportunity to better learn their weaknesses and to improve our play. Let them bring their spikes and their anger. We will answer with touchdowns and dance.
The Norse faced the Ogres in an aggressive match, and thanks to their superior skill, the Norse won out and will take the field against us in playoff round two. The first match was a brutal affair with at least 5 serious injuries, including two deaths...and the Landwasters have become even more proficient in the last two weeks. And now word is they will receive a significant financial incentive to participate in this match. One would think that the opportunity to compete for the championship trophy would be incentive enough for any team, but that won't be the case. Given the tightly contested match in Week 6, this should be much closer than the final regular season records would suggest. With two lightly armored squads, early casualties might well make the difference and tip the balance firmly in favor of the group inflicting the damage. Neither team can afford to lose players, particularly the highly skilled key players in both uniforms. It is time for Henkikuus to pull his (prodigious) weight, Nightthorn and Sharpbriar to continue their exceptional two-way play, and Clifbranch to stretch the field. The Landwasters will bring their frenzy of violence, likely supported by magical mercenaries and professional Blood Bowl mercenaries. We shall see who fortune, skill and will favors.
The final match has been scheduled and we once again face the brute force of the Red Brick Killaz. They have continued to grow in both size and talent, and despite our two previous victories they are not to be taken lightly. As many Blood Bowl pundits have said, it is very difficult to beat the same team three times in one season. We, however, have not been stagnant either. Our deep strike players have honed their skills, and our home guard have learned more of the specific techniques required to move opponents in the directions we wish. Though we have not added what some call a "quarterback", we have even shown the ability to fling the ball down the field even move even more rapidly. The opponent's greatest strength is...well, their strength, augmented by weeks of training on how to apply that strength. Since it cannot be turned against them, it must be overcome. Water and wood will be our way. We will flow around the opponent, finding out way through their smallest crack. We have brought forth the spirit of the wood itself, and will use the the strength of the oak to occupy the attention of the orcs where we can.

Red Brick Killaz +1 FAME
And a big welcome to all Blood Fans that have arrived for our first game of the season! We have the hulking Green Wave taking on the intimidating Red Brick Killaz. Fans are expecting a blood bath in this one, so be sure to buckle up!
It looks like the Ogres will be receiving the kick in the first half, and the Ogres are excited to control the pace of the match early with some brawls in the trenches. The Orcs seemed ready to fight the Ogres though, taking the Ogres down easily to start out the drive.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_1.PNG
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_2.PNG
Just look at that hit!
Zeet Quarterpounder picks up the ball and finds his way to midfield. He better look out, because here come the Killaz! Not only does Zeet fumble, but it looks like he’s out of this game with an injury as well. I guess they don’t call them the Killaz for nothing! With the ball being fumbled out of bounds, the ball is tossed to midfield for both teams to bash over. Unfortunately, the Ogres struggled to maintain focus, and the Orcs would have no trouble slipping around them.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_3.PNG
And Speed Launcha picks up the ball for the Killaz! But wait! It seems the Orcs are… they are! The Red Brick Killaz are taking it to the Ogres! We’ve got five out of five Ogres down to end the half!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_4.PNG
If you’re the Green Waves, you cannot be happy with this showing. Boneheaded plays and continued knockdowns are not a good look for a team wanting to bash their way to a win. At least the Snotlings are still alive! Let’s see what the second half holds.
And Speed Launcha will pick up the ball to start the second half. The Red Brick Killaz group up and show some strong cohesion early in this half, with the team forming a strong cage around their ball carrier. The Ogres are not looking to give up an easy score… but… oh no! Karak goes down with a KO, giving the Ogres one less threat on the field. What a devastating blow to the Ogre team!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_5.PNG
With Karak down, Speed Launcha finds his crease along the sideline, and he’s off! I cannot believe it! Where are the Ogres?! It looks like Bad Dog is ready to receive a pass for the easy score. The Red Brick Killaz set this play up perfectly.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_10.PNG
What is Speed Launcha doing? He’s… keeping it! It’s a Thrower Keep! It’s a Thrower Keep!
Speed Launcha races past Bad Dog and runs it in himself for the easy score! We’ve got a 1-0 lead for the Red Brick Killaz just as time is about to expire!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/The_Scoring_Play.PNG
While the Ogres receive the kickoff, time expires immediately. And that’s the match! Red Brick Killaz win 1-0!
MATCH REVIEW:
The Ogres came into this game ready for some smashing and bashing. Unfortunately for them, the Red Brick Killaz were more than happy to bring the bash themselves. The Snotlings held up surprisingly well in the brawl, and even managed to stay on their feet most of the time, but it was the Ogres that continuously found themselves on the ground. Having the Ogres get pushed around so much, while also struggling to maintain focus, left the Red Brick Killaz with plenty of space to maneuver with. It may have taken some time, but Da Wall and the other Black Rock Orcs managed to wear down the Green Wave enough for Speed Launcha to show off some impressive speed.
Injuries:
Franken- Groin Strain (will MISS next game)
Masta Chuck- Badly Hurt (will play next game)

H.E.L.L. +2 FAME
Is that an earthquake? Maybe it’s the apocalypse? Nope! It’s the Iron Lads coming to the field with their dreaded death machine Vagrin. It’s gotten quiet here in the stadium, as all eyes are drawn to the Deathroller. As the ball is kicked off to start the match, tension fills the stands as they feared their favorite players would fall victim to this monstrous death machine.
Then Never Lice caught the kickoff.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_1(1).PNG
Never Lice runs it up the right sideline, hiding behind Vitat Met and Fur. While the rest of H.E.L.L. begins to set up a play, the Dwarves close in quick on the werewolf. Never Lice is getting locked up, but… wait. What is this?
Never Lice!
There he goes!
Never Lice finds an opening and sprints right past the entire Dwarf team! I can’t believe it!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_2(1).PNG
Never Lice is clear for the endzone, but what is this? With the Dwarves all watching Never Lice, Pablo Pizza sees his chance for a big block!
And we’ve got a Dwarf down! Dolor takes to the bench, and it looks like he is out of this one. What a tough blow to the Iron Lads!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Injury_1.PNG
The Iron Lads refuse to sit back and continue their pursuit of Never Lice, but the werewolf proves to be just way too fast for the Dwarves. He could… go… all… the… WAY! Touchdown! And we’ve got a 1-0 lead for H.E.L.L.! Things aren’t looking good for the Iron Lads folks.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Score_1.PNG
Down a score and a Dwarf, the Lads look\ to be in a rough place. The Dwarves look to Vagrin, and… what? The refs are blowing whistles and stopping play. It looks like Vagrin is getting disqualified for the match! What a devastating blow! Vagrin gets sent to the bench before he can deal any real damage to the Necromantic team! The Iron lads are down two players and a score. How are they going to respond?
Tot Ironbeard picks up the short kick to start the drive and begins to make his way to the left sideline. It seems that we are going to see a run up the left side. Wait! Here comes Krum from the Iron Lads! He’s got his sights set on Never Lice, and he wants some vengeance for the quick score!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Never_Lice_Injury.PNG
We’ve got a werewolf down!
Wait, it looks like the Iron Lads aren’t done! Here comes Noraks, bringing a BIG block to Vitat Met! Vitat Met is down folks, and it looks like H.E.L.L. might be down another player as he limps his way to the bench. Yes folks, Vitat Met is declared out with an injury!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Injury_2.PNG
With two players down for H.E.L.L., let’s see if the Lads can take manage a quick score before the end of the first half! Tot Ironbeard is trying to work his way across the field to the left sideline, but we’ve got a huge clog at midfield. It’s Pablo Pizza!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_3(1).PNG
Pablo Pizza is drawing most of the Lads, but where are the rest of the Necromantic team? Ironbeard has a clear field to the endzone! Time is running out though! Can… he… do… it?!?!?!?! NO! Time expires!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_4(1).PNG
H.E.L.L. managed to get a quick score from Never Lice, but are now down two of their fastest players. The Iron Dwarves are set to receive the ball in the second half, and we will see if they can tie it up. Bofarn picks the ball up and find his way near midfield, but what a block! Bofarn fumbles! The ball goes out of bounds, what a disaster for the Iron Lads! The ball is at midfield, and we have plenty of H.E.L.L. players nearby!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_5(1).PNG
We’ve got chaos at midfield folks! Players are shoving and fighting with the ball nearby! We’ve got a Dwarf down! We’ve got a zombie down! Pablo Pizza with a HUGE block to take down another Dwarf! Folks, it’s turning into a blood bath out there!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Injury_4.PNG
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Injury_5.PNG
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pablo_second_injury.PNG
Is anyone going to get the ball? Yes! Bofarn sneaks in there and grabs the ball. He’s surrounded by H.E.L.L. players though, so this could get ugly fast.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_6(1).PNG
And Pablo Pizza with another HUGE block! Bofarn fumbles! It’s a free ball at midfield again with time almost expired!
The ball rolls away from the crowd a bit and Tow with the pickup! He’s going to make a run for the endzone, but… that’s game folks! Time expires with H.E.L.L. over the Iron Lads 1-0! What a match!
MATCH REVIEW:
This proved to be a hard-fought game for both sides! While the Dwarves gave up the big score early to Never Lice, they managed to slow down the Necromantic team with a pair of grueling injuries and keep the game much closer than expected. Bofarn’s fumbling issues really hurt the Lads on offense though, as drives stalled out far too quickly. The quick score by Never Lice was also crucial, as it sent Vagrin to the bench early and weakened the Dwarves at the line of scrimmage. Pablo Pizza managed to dominate at the line of scrimmage, as sending two Dwarves to the bench with injuries is no easy task. The Zombies also had a surprising impact on the game. This proved crucial, as both Never Lice and Vitat Met went out with injuries. Hopefully, there won’t be any questions about durability moving forward for those two!

Rabid Weasels get +1 FAME
Welcome welcome Blood Bowl fans! We have what is sure to be an impossibly match ahead of us, as the Rabid Weasels take on Halhokki Tapio! With what is sure to be a fast-paced match, I had to make sure to drink several cups of coffee! I am energized and ready to go! Just in time too, as the Rabid Weasels will be receiving the kickoff in the first half. Snikch picks up the ball, and it looks like the Skaven will start this season with some fancy passing offense.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_1(2).PNG
And what’s this? Some surprisingly hard hits by the Skaven? It sure seems like the Weasels are up for some bashing, sending Moonglade to the bench with an injury. Down an Elf, Halhokki Tapio better be careful!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Injury.PNG
And here she comes! Nightthorn lays out Snikch with a clean block! It’s a fumble!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_2(2).PNG
It looks like players from both sides are rushing for the ball, so this really could go either way! In fact, it looks like both teams are just waiting. They’re all just eyeing each other, waiting for someone to make a move…
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_3(2).PNG
And it looks like the Elves are going for it! But what’s this? Instead of targeting the ball, they’re targeting the Skaven! It looks like the Weasels were surprised by this, as they’ve been pushed around quite a bit here. And here comes Nightthorn! After forcing the fumble, she’s goin to sneak in and grab the ball! What are the weasels doing?! Nightthorn is slipping out of the crowd and handing the ball off to a waiting Clifbranch! It looks like it’s time for Clifbranch to do Clifbranch things. RUN FAST!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_4(2).PNG
With the ball deep in Weasel territory, the Elves are coming to Clifbranch’s side, fending off the Skaven! The Skaven can’t find a clear path to Clifbranch!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_5(2).PNG
He… could… go… all… the… way! SCORE! Halhokki Tapio go up 1-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Score.PNG
Well folks, we’ve got a bit of a problem going into the second half. I’m as surprised as anyone to see some snow covering the field. This could slow down these speedy teams, but let’s be honest… it’s still going to be a fast half! Nightthorn stopped what could very well have been a quick score by the Skaven, and now that the Elves are receiving the ball in the second half, we’ll see how the Weasels respond.
It looks like Nightthorn is going to be picking up the ball to start the second half. She’s got plenty of space to work with, but Halhokki Tapio is going to clear up a path if Nightthorn is going to be able to get a score!

On the other side of the field, we’ve got an injury! Azhar is down for the Weasels, and it looks like he’s going to be sidelined! Weasels are now outnumbered with the downed rat!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Injured_Rat.PNG
With Azhar being taken out, the Weasels seem a bit distracted, especially Vossak, who has been in Wild Animal mode all match! It looks like Nightthorn is ready to take advantage of this slow response, and she is not going to need Clifbranch’s help to score this time! We’ve got Halhokki Tapio up 2-0 on the Weasels with time winding down!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Score_2.PNG
It looks like this match is pretty much over, so Halhokki Tapio is playing some soft defense. Haktar has the ball, but Halhokki Tapio is avoiding contact here at all costs. It seems they are trying to avoid any unnecessary injuries, and Haktar is taking advantage of the extra space. He’s found himself a great line on the sideline, and he’s going for a score! It’s a moral victory for the Weasels, and they’ve cut the lead in half, 2-1 as time expires! It’s a great win for Halhokki Tapio!

MATCH REVIEW:
This game lived up to its billing as a fast game. Halhokki Tapio seemed more prepared to bring some big hits though, as a forced fumble and a timely injury helped them get a great start. While Vossak brought some muscle to the Rabid Weasel team, he spent most of the match falling to his Wild Animal trait. Another key part of this win for Holhokki Tapio was Nightthorn, who impressed with some fancy footwork on offense, picking up the lost fumble and later scoring in the second half. Before the Rabid Weasels could recover from the tough opening drive, they would find themselves down 2-0 and scoring a score at the end of the match. They now find themselves without a coach or a win heading into week 2.

Landerneds Landwasters +2 FAME
Well folks, we have made it to the final game of the week! We have the Landerned Landwasters taking on the Watchtower Wiccans in a match that has had fans buzzing all week. The Landwasters receive a short kick by the Wiccans, and it’s Cnut that picks up the ball to start the match. Cnut is showing off some impressive running skills! The Norse team is doing their part, knocking down the many Elves in their path!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_1(3).PNG
With Cnut making his way to midfield, the Landwasters are looking strong early! We’ve got several Elves down, and Cnut has a clear path to the endzone!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2.PNG
But what’s this?! Faba Hellblade and some of the other Elves have managed to catch up to Cnut! It seems the Norse underestimated the speed that these Elves have! This looks like it could be trouble for Cnut and the Norse team!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_3(3).PNG
But Cnut refuses to back down! Cnut’s eyes are drawn to the endzone, and is he…? He is! He’s going for the endzone! Put is on the booooooard… YES! That’s a score for the Landerneds Landwasters! It’s a 1-0 lead, and look at those impressive moves by Cnut!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Scoring_Play.PNG
Well it seems the Wiccans will receive the kickoff with plenty of time left before halftime. Faba is back to retrieve the ball, and… OH NO! We’ve got a fumble by Faba! The Landwasters are closing in quick!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_6(3).PNG
Faba needs to hurry, the Norse are coming! Another FUMBLE! This is tragedy for the Wiccans! Two fumbles deep in their own territory! Looks like Faba has some bad nerves in this match. This is not good news for the Wiccans!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_5(3).PNG
And Manfred Man picks up the ball! He’s in sniffing distance of the endzone, and he is ready to put up the Landwasters 2-0 on these Elves! But what’s this? He’s stopped to taunt Faba? It looks like he’s got some choice words for the Elf, and he’s feeling confident!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_7(2).PNG
And Faba forces the fumble on Manfred Man! We’ve got a loose ball! She may have fumbled twice, but Faba has managed to save the Wiccans from giving up another score… for now! The Landwasters have closed in, and they are not done trying to force this ball into the endzone.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_8(1).PNG
And the Landwasters are struggling to get their hands on the ball! The Wiccans have gone into desperation mode, and are just fighting the Norse! They’re trying to just run out the clock! The Landwasters are fighting for that ball, but that’s it! The Wiccans have prevented a second score! They’ll get a second chance in the second half.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_9(1).PNG
Well folks, we’re going into the second half, and it seems the Landwasters have just been putting on a show here. They are looking confident and sharp. For the Wiccans, they have to get Faba Hellblade to calm down. They’re receiving the ball in the second half, and they cannot afford more fumbles from Faba!
Well, we’ve got a kick and a clean pickup from Faba! No fumbles! But… oh no. We’ve got a Norse player down… and he’s staying down. We’ve got no movement. Folks… I believe we have… yes, I’m afraid we have just witnessed our first death of the season. We offer our condolences to the family of Pelle Edson. It’s tough to watch a death on the field, but we know he died doing what he loved.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Death.PNG
Oh no.
Now Egil Eye is down, and we’ve got no movement again. The stands have gone quiet as the trainers are rushing to tend to the Norse player. It’s not looking good folks. I love watching some blood and big bashes, but this is not what you want to see. Folks, it looks like we have a second death on the field. This is a tragedy, and we offer our condolences to the family of Egil Eye.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Second_Death.PNG
The Norse players seems frozen in shock at losing two teammates. Can you blame them? This is tough to watch!
It looks like Faba Hellblade is refusing to show mercy though, and she is going to keep running along the sideline. She’s got a clear path to the endzone, but there is one Norse player in the way! If the Landwasters are going to get the stop, they better retain their focus!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_10(1).PNG
And… not again!
Folks, in all my years of watching Blood Bowl, I have never seen such a tragic match. You cannot make this stuff up. We’ve got Hrolf Aris down, and it looks about as bad as Egil Eye and Pelle Edson. Folks have begun to chant for the fallen Landwasters, but you know this has to have the Norse team shaken up. Officials are carrying Hrolf off to the sideline and placing him alongside his fellow fallen teammates. Our condolences to the family of Hrolf Aris.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Death_3.PNG
With three dead Landwasters, and a fourth out with an injury, the Wiccans have the clear numbers advantage. They’re using this numbers advantage, and Faba has an open path to the tying score. She… could… go… all… the… NO!!!
We’ve got a stumble and a fumble by Faba Hellblade! That’s right folks! It’s a third fumble by Faba Hellblade! This one is on the goal line!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_11.PNG
The Landwasters are rushing for the ball, but they’ve been pushed so far away from Faba, that Faba has plenty of time to work her way back to her feet and fall into the endzone on the ball. Folks, we’ve got ourselves a 1-1 tie, but it seems the Landwasters have bigger issues to worry about at this time. Faba has no problem celebrating though!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Scoring_Play_2.PNG
Well the Landwasters receive the kickoff, and Kjetill is going to retrieve the ball. The Norse are going to run for the sideline, eager to avoid any more contact here. Time will run out, and the Landwasters will be happy to walk out of this one with a draw!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_12.PNG
MATCH REVIEW:
Three deaths are difficult. The clear headline of this game, the Landwasters lose three players in their first match and a fourth is out for the next game. They were able to force a tie, thanks to some strong running from Cnut in the first half, but the three deaths just overshadows everything else from this match. Faba managed to take advantage of the brutality, and managed to score the first score of the season for the Wiccans. Her fumbling issues and tripping at the goal line bring up some concerns that the team has to be hoping she can overcome before their next game. Still, one has to hope the Landwasters can overcome the losses and find a strong way forward.

Week 2 Recap:
H.E.L.L. +1 FAME
We are here with another exciting Blood Bowl match ahead of us! We have H.E.L.L. and the Rabid Weasels going head-to-head in what should be an exciting match! The Weasels have lost their manager, so we will see if they can come out a bit more organized this week. H.E.L.L. had a great win last week, so we will see if they can keep the momentum going!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_1(5).PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
It’s a great kick by H.E.L.L. and the ball will go deep into Skaven territory. Snikch is going to pick up the ball, and… Vassok storms the line of scrimmage! Bitza Pizza is hit hard and he goes down! After a rough showing for the Rat Ogre last week, the Weasels have to be encouraged by the early move by the big guy!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_vossak_gettin_in_action_early.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
Snikch takes the ball up the sideline, and Khrem is showing his speed here! Khrem finds his way to the ball, and Snikch looks like he’s pinned against the sideline!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_Khrem_finds_way_to_ball.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And Snikch breaks loose! Khrem is left in the dust, and we are seeing that famous Skaven speed here! Snikch heads into H.E.L.L. territory, and he is surrounded by green field!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_Snkatch_gets_free.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And Vossak is really making his presence felt at midfield! He’s knocked Bitza down AGAIN! The rest of the Necromantics are trying to team up on Vossak, but he just refuses to go down! What a strong showing by the big guy!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_Vossak_making_his_presence_felt_at_the_line_ of_scrimmage_against_Bitza.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
With Vossak drawing the attention of H.E.L.L., Snikch is able to run it up the sideline cleanly! He’s got open field, and he is going to take it all the way!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_snkatch_going_for_the_end_zone.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!!! It’s a score for Snikch, and the Weasels go up 1-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_the_score.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
After a great score, and a great showing from Vossak, we are already seeing a much more confident Skaven team this week! We will have to see if H.E.L.L. is able to match this energy.
Here comes the kick, and it’s… short! The kick goes just past midfield, and let’s see if H.E.L.L. is able to take advantage of the short field… NO! We’ve got a zombie down and it looks like a HUGE KO for the Skaven team! I cannot believe it! Skaven have a clean line to the loose ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_short_kick_and_skaven_ko_but_hell_player_dow n.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And they’re going to grab the ball! Critar grabs the ball, and the Skaven are going to cage up with Vossak! And look at that! A great hit by Weasels, and we’ve got Tree going down! The Skaven are looking incredibly strong here in the first half, and it looks like H.E.L.L. may be in some trouble!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_skaven_recover_and_take_down_a_zombie.PNG?wi dth=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And… WOW! What a response by Balts the Sturdy! We’ve got a Skaven down… it’s Azhar! He is not moving folks. I think we may have a death on the field here. Wait... here comes the Apothecary. He takes a look at the fallen player, and… what is he doing? Is he…? I don’t know what just happened, but we have a little movement out of Azhar. I thought he was dead, but it seems that Apothecary just saved that Skaven’s life. Still, Azhar is hurt and he’s out of this game.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_dead_azhar_saved_by_apothecary_but_still_in jured_injured_jaw.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And… what just happened?! Folks, I am so sorry, but I was looking at Azhar on the sideline, and we had a HUGE fumble! What happened here? Khrem scoops up the ball quickly, and he is gone deep into Weasel territory! Just when you thought the Weasels were going to sneak a score and go up 2-0, we get a HUGE fumble and Khrem Is there to pick up the ball and just disappear! What a disaster for the Weasels!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_fumble_and_clean_recovery.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
Khrem is free, and HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!!!! It’s a score! And just like that, H.E.L.L. tie it up at 1 a piece!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_score_by_khrem.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And now the Weasels are lining up for the kick. You can tell they are disappointed at their turnover on that last drive, so we will see how they respond. Snikch gets the ball, and the Weasels are looking to play a much more cautious end to the first half here. They don’t seem to like their chances to score, so it looks like they are happy to end the half with a tie.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_kick_goes_out_of_bounds_so_skaven_with_a_fr ee_ball.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
Vossak isn’t done though! He rushes Bitza Pizza and lands a HUGE hit on the Flesh Golem! Bitza Pizza is VERY slow to get up, and it looks like his day is over! Vossak was picking on Bitza Pizza all game, and it looks like the Rat Ogre finally landed that big blow! That is a crushing loss for H.E.L.L. as the first half comes to and end tied 1 to 1!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_vossak_with_an_injury_on_bitza_pizza.PNG?wi dth=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
As we head into the second half, we saw some great plays by the Weasels, but the onside kick backfired. They look much more organized here, and Vossak played great, but they are still tied at 1. H.E.L.L. is down Bitza Pizza, so we will how the team responds to losing a big guy. The pressure will be on Pablo Pizza to maintain control at the line of scrimmage. After a strong week 1, you have to feel like he will have a larger impact in this second half.
The kick is up, and Never Lice is back to retrieve the ball. He gets it, and he looks like he’s heading for a sideline.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_second_half_never_lice_gets_the_kick.PNG?wi dth=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And here comes Vossak again! He charges midfield, and he looks ready to create more havoc at the line! With no Bitza Pizza, Pablo looks like he may be in some trouble here. Never Lice doubles back, and he seems a bit distracted by the chaos Vossak is creating at midfield!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_never_lice_tries_to_run_to_far_sideline_but _vossak_is_clogging_midfield.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
Wait! It looks like Never Lice was just showing some great patience as a runner! It took some time, but H.E.L.L. is able to break up some players and create some great running lanes for the werewolf! Never Lice finds his opening, and he’s taking this one to the sideline! He’s got plenty of space!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_never_lice_runs_it_freely_up_sideline.PNG?w idth=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And H.E.L.L. is looking great here to start the second half! They’re surrounding Never Lice, and here comes Tow to complete the cage… OH NO! Tow trips over his own feet and he looks like he’s in serious pain! Here come the trainers, and they are going to have to carry this zombie off the field. I’m not sure, but it looks like he somehow managed to smash his ankle on that one. A non-contact injury for Tow, and H.E.L.L. is down a player.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_hell_forms_a_cage_but_Tow_gets_hurt_smashed _ankle_walking_to_spot.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
The Weasels take advantage of the injury, and they are going to block Never Lice!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_never_lice_attracts_a_crowd.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
Never Lice continues to display great patience, and you can see his eyes scanning the field with the ball in hand. What is he doing? He’s… he’s found an opening! I have no idea how he did it, but Never Lice has evaded three Weasel players, and he is free to the endzone! What a great move by Never Lice!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_20_never_lice_breaks_free.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And… WHOA! A huge blindside hit by the Weasels, and Never Lice is going down! The ball comes loose! We’ve got a fumble right at the goal line with a HUGE hit on Never Lice!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_21_never_lice_gets_slammed_before_he_can_score .PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
But here comes Khrem D’ang! He manages to pick up the ball, and he is just a few feet from his own endzone! This Ghoul is showing off his speed here today folks, and he just looks like the fastest player on the field in this one.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_22_Khrem_recovers_the_fumble.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And no surprise here. Khrem walks this one in, and H.E.L.L. is now up 2-1! A great game by Khrem D’ang today with the offensive explosion out of the speedy Ghoul!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_23_khrem_scores.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
The Weasels are back and are ready for the kickoff. We are short on time, but we all know the Skaven can score from just about anywhere. Snikch grabs the ball, and I see some Skaven lining up in Necromantic territory. It looks like we’re setting up a pass play!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_24_hell_with_a_short_kickoff.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And before Never Lice can get in position, he gets knocked out of this one! H.E.L.L. finds themselves down a player, and they could give up the big passing play to the Weasels. Folks, I think we may be finding ourselves in a draw!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_26_never_lice_ko.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
Snakch looks downfield! He’s got a player wide open deep in H.E.L.L. territory! He pulls back, and he’s going to launch it! The ball goes airborne, and… INTERCEPTED! Vitat Met jumps and snatches the ball out of the air, and this is a GAME-SEALING INTERCEPTION! I cannot believe it! What a play by Vitat! The Weasels cannot believe it, and I cannot believe this one either! What a play!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_27_interception_to_end_the_game.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
We’ve got a hit on Vitat, a fumble, and a KO as time expires, but it doesn’t matter! This one is over! Time is up and H.E.L.L. has pulled off the come-from-behind win over the Rabid Weasels 2-1! What a match!

Green Wave +1 FAME
Well folks, we have the makings of what could be a wild match coming up next! It’s a wet one out here with the rain really coming down, and the Landerned Landwasters are looking to bounce back after a lethal match last week as they take on the massive Ogres of the Green Wave! With the Landwasters being a few players short, some Norse fans from the stands have offered to fill in for free. Can Regin and his two pals get the Landwasters their first win of the season? We are about to find out!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_1.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
The Landerned Landwasters are back to receive the kickoff, and this one is going deep! The ball lands in the Landwaster endzone, and Legfwine Dethbeer runs to get the ball.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_Legfwine_fumbles_pickup.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
Legfwine takes the ball, and he has his eyes on that great left sideline. It’s a far run, but Legfwine looks confident!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_Legfwine_recovers_quickly_and_runs_for_the_s ideline.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And what a start for the Norse team! And superfan Regin rushes one of the Snotling and lands a HUGE hit! That Snotling looks down, and he is VERY slow to get up. Trainers come out, and… yep. They confirm it. This Snotling is hurt, and he is out of this one.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_injured_snotling.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And Legfwine looks confident, and… what is he doing? He’s running towards the Ogres! I cannot believe this! Legfwine showing perhaps a bit too much confidence with the ball as he runs it right to the Ogres!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_legfwine_changes_course_and_runs_to_the_ogre s.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And the Ogres respond to this confidence by KOing two members of the Landwasters! Those two players are going to need a break on the bench, but those blows must have sent a message to Legfwine! These Ogres are looking hungry for some damage!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_Ogres_with_two_quick_KOs.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
But Legfwine is already gone! He is in Green Wave territory, and he is surrounded by open field! The Ogres with a lapse in judgement on defense! This one looks critical folks.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_legfwine_escapes_through_multiple_Ogres.PNG? width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And what a recovery by the Ogres! Due to some strong teamwork, they are only able to get one Ogre to Legfwine, but they have closed the gap! Legfwine is staring down that Ogre, and wow does he look confident! You can just see no fear in the eyes of this Norse runner. Wow!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_Ogres_catch_up_and_close_in.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
It looks like Legfwine shares some choice words with the Ogres, and he is gone! Legfwine takes off and he is going to blow right past all the Ogres! This could be it folks!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_legfwine_keeps_evading_the_Ogres.PNG?width=2 85&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And Legfwine COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!! Score for the Landwasters! What a great run by Legfwine! A great display of confidence followed up by a great performance! The Landwasters have to be feeling great after the score, being up 1-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_legfwine_score.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And the Ogres will be receiving the ball, but they are completely ignoring the ball! They are… they are instead targeting the Landwasters! We’ve got a few Norse players knocked down, but there’s a KO. I think the Ogres were hoping to score an injury before the end of the half, but it just won’t happen! The Landwasters stand strong and go into halftime up 1-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_short_kick_and_a_ko.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
Going into the second half, Legfwine is looking incredibly strong in this one! A great run and some taunting have led to an impressive first half. The Green Wave will be receiving the kick to start the second half, and they will need to drum up some offense to keep this one competitive!
The Green Wave is back to receive, and… it’s a short kick! It looks like the Landwasters are starting this half with an attempt to recover the short kick and a score, and I think they caught the Ogres off-guard! The Ogres look to retrieve the ball, but… it’s a fumble! Looks like the rain has finally had an effect on this one, as the wet ball slips through the fingers of the Snotling. It’s a loose ball close to midfield!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_fumbled.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And the Landwasters are ready for this one! It looks like this play turned out exactly how they hoped it would! The Norse players close in on the ball, and the Ogres look like they could be in some serious trouble with this one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_land_goes_for_ball_and_fumbles.PNG?width=28 5&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And Zeet Quarterpounder is there! He slips through the Landwasters, and he scoops up the ball! I don’t how he’s carrying this ball, but he grips it tight, and he is trying to find some space. The Landwasters are all over this one though!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_land_closes_in_on_zeet.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
But Zeet Quarterpounder is a bit too slippery as he slips past two Norse defenders! Zeet breaks free, and he manages to find some open field! I cannot believe it, but Zeet has a clear shot to the endzone!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_Zeet_escapes_the_crowd.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And just like that, HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!!! It’s the first score of the season for the Green Wave as Zeet Quarterpounder ties it up at 1!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_Zeet_scores.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And just like that, we have ourselves a match! Looks like the onside kick attempt backfired for the Landwasters, and we will see how they respond. They go back, and they are ready to receive.
The kick goes deep, and the Landwasters have two players back for this one. Cnut the Dyslexic heads back to get the ball, and he… FUMBLES! The rain continues to make grabbing the ball difficult and the ball slips through the fingers of Cnut the Dyslexic! Legfwine is there though! He juggles the fumbled ball, and… it’s a SECOND FUMBLE! I cannot believe it! Two Landwaster players fumble the ball here, and that is devastating!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_land_fumbles_the_ball_twice_on_kickoff.PNG? width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
They have plenty of space though, and Cnut is able to freely retrieve the loose ball before… FUMBLE! Cnut just CANNOT pick up the ball here folks, as the wet ball slips through his fingers yet again! Legfwine cannot believe it, and neither can I!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_another_fumble_by_Land.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And this creates an opening for the Green Wave! Here comes Ganondorf Dragmire and Rock the Stone! Ganondorf pushes Legfwine away and Rock scoops the ball! You can see the endzone! What a disaster for the Landwasters! They HAVE to make the stop here!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_20_green_able_to_snatch_the_ball.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And Cnut takes a HUGE shot to Rock the Stone, and Rock… stays on his feet! Cnut goes at him again in a frenzy, and… ROCK IS STILL STANDING! I cannot believe it! You can see the determination in Rock’s eyes! He just refuses to go down!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_21_Rock_survives_some_blows.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
But here comes Kjetill to land a HUGE hit onto Rock! Kjetill lands the shot, and… ROCK IS STILL STANDING!!!! I cannot believe this one folks! Rock the Stone has powered through three hits from the Landwasters, and he now has a clear path to the endzone! The Landwasters cannot believe this display from Rock, and I am just absolutely stunned!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_22_rock_survives_more_blows.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
Rock the Stone has plenty of open field around him, and his eyes are on the endzone! HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!!!! It’s a score! I cannot believe it! Rock the Stone with an INCREDIBLE run against the Landwasters, absorbing multiple blows from the Norse players! Somehow, Rock the Stone determined to score this one, and punches it in to put the Green Wave up 2-1!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_23_rock_with_the_evade_and_score.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
The Landwasters look confused. They are just not sure what happened with Rock the Stone, and I… I am without words at that powerful run!
The Landwasters are back to receive this one, and Cnut the Dyslexic is able to scoop up the ball without a problem here. Time is running out, but his eyes are on the endzone.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_24_land_recovers_a_short_kick.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And WHOA! Ganondorf Dragmire is down! He’s moving, but he’s barely moving. The Landwasters take down one of the Ogres, and that is a HUGE blow to the Ogre team!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_25_Ogre_injury.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
The Ogres retaliate with an injury, but they seem to have lost the ball in their blind rage-filled retaliation! Cnut is free up the sideline!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_26_norse_injury.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
Cnut makes a break for the endzone as time expires! Folks, he’s looking to tie this one up! There is NO ONE is his way, here he goes! HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… FUMBLE!!!! Fumble at the goal line! Cnut slips in the wet field, and the ball comes loose!
As the ball hits the grass, time expires, and that’s it! This one is over, and the Green Wave wins this one 2-1! What a match!

Red Brick Killaz +2 FAME
We are live and ready for what is sure to be a great game between the Watchtower Wiccans and the Red Brick Killaz! After noteworthy weeks last week, many fans have been talking about this matchup! The Wiccans of course had three kills in one game, while the Killaz outbashed the bashy Ogre team for a win. How will these teams adjust their gameplans? Let’s find out!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_1(6).PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And it looks like the Killaz will be receiving the kickoff in the first half. Masta Chuck retrieves the ball, and we are off! Masta Chuck takes this one up the left sideline, and it looks like he has plenty of space to work with!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_2_Masta_Chuck_clean_kickoff_recovery.PNG?width =285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And wow! A couple of big blocks from the Orcs, and it looks like the Killaz have complete control of the line of scrimmage!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_3_line_of_scrimmage_domination_by_killaz.PNG?w idth=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And a beautiful cage set up by the Killaz! It is definitely going to be hard for the Wiccans to stop Masta Chuck if the Orcs are going to be bunching up like this all game! Masta Chuck looks to be talking gameplan with the team, and the Killaz seem to be preparing for a big play.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_4_Great_offensive_cage.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
But the Wiccans are not going to run from this fight! We’ve got a few Dark Elves rushing Masta Chuck and an Orc down! Masta Chuck ran out of space quickly, but he still looks very confident with the ball. Across the field, Rhiso Rainheart is taken down with an injury! It does not look too bad, but I think they will be out for the rest of the game.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_5_wiccans_with_a_critical_knockdown_on_Killaz_ turn.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
The Killaz are setting up, and… a HUGE hit by the Wiccans! The ball comes loose, and we have a fumble! Masta Chuck is down!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_6_fumble.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And Ragin Red is able to come up with the ball! He gets away from the crowd, and he is up the sideline! He’s got nothing but open field!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_7_killaz_recover_and_run_to_the_sideline.PNG?w idth=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
But no! Here comes one of the Wiccans for a huge block… IT’S JUST A PUSH! And Ragin Red gets pushed closer to the sideline, but he manages to stay on his feet! Great footwork by Ragin Red here!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_trying_to_get_a_fumble_but_just_a_push.PNG?w idth=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And Ragin Red keeps his eyes on the endzone. Is he? He is! He’s going to try to slip past two Dark Elves and make the score! He… is tripped up! It’s another fumble! The ball comes out and rolls out of bounds! Ragin Red has to be disappointed with that one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_tripped_up_at_sideline_and_fumbled.PNG?width =285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
In a controversial toss, the ball lands right on the goal line for the Red Brick Killaz and there is no one around. This may be an easy score for the Orcs!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_ball_placed_at_goalline.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
Time’s running out, and we’ve got both teams sprinting for the ball! Can the Killaz pull off the first half score?!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_11_scramble_to_the_loose_ball.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
No! The Wiccans are able to sprint just a bit faster, and they will pick up the ball! They hold it to run out the clock, and you can tell the Wiccans are relieved to have prevented a big score there. What a great defensive stop by the Wiccans!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_fumble_recoverd.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
As we prepare for the second half, we are scoreless, but we have had plenty of tense moments already! The Wiccans did not get a chance with the ball, but they did manage some great defense to prevent the score. Let’s see if the Killaz can match that defensive effort in the second half!
And the kickoff goes long, and Faba Hellblade picks up the ball without fumbling, much to the relief of Wiccan fans. She looks like a completely different player this week as she rushes to midfield with the ball in hand!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_second_half_kickoff_recovery_by_faba_no_fum ble.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And that is definitely going to hurt the confidence of the Wiccans! Vele Silentmoor is down and VERY slow to get up. Trainers rush out, but Vele insists on walking out under their own power. That’s some toughness, but this player is out for the game after that hit.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_a_second_injury_not_rainheart.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
With the Killaz laying out some big hits all across the field, Faba finds an opening! Is she? I cannot the confidence here folks! Faba looks like she is going to take this one right the middle of the field, and she has got plenty of space!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_faba_takes_it_up_the_gut.PNG?width=285&height=175&fit=bounds&crop=fill
Wow! I spoke waaaay too soon here! It looks like the Killaz set up a trap for Faba, and she fell right into it! Faba finds herself completely surrounded by Orcs, and after the fumbling issues of last week, you cannot help but feel like you know how this one is going to end…
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_17_killaz_close_in.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
Wait a second… is she… she did it! Faba pulls off the incredible and slips away from multiple defenders here untouched! She is free and running hard for the endzone! I cannot believe it!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_and_Faba_is_gone.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
SHE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!!!! It’s a HUGE score for Faba Hellbalde, and I cannot believe it! What a great run by the Dark Elf! Wiccans go up 1-0 late in the second half!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_19_score.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
The Red Brick Killaz do not have much time to work with, but they will still take the kickoff. Speed Launcha with the impressive catch on the kickoff, and he scans the field.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_20_speed_launcha_catches_kickoff_and_to_left_s ideline.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And there’s a HUGE hit on Gager Hellmaul! Gager is rushed off the field, and the Orcs are suddenly looking like they might be able to put together some late-game magic again!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_21_a_new_elf_injury_thats_3.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And once again, I am way off here. We’ve got a HUGE shot by Ninnon Deathbreaker onto Bad Dog! Bad Dog is struggling to get to his feet, and it looks like the trainers are going to have to carry this Orc off the field. He’s offering a wave to the fans, but he looks like he’s in some real pain here folks. That blow definitely cooled off the momentum of the Killaz!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_22_elves_retaliate_with_an_injury_on_orcs.PNG? width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
Speed Launcha still has the ball though, so he’s going to keep taking this one up the sideline, but Faba Hellblade has her eye on the ball! This Elf has already scored once today, so it looks like Faba is going to fight to preserve this lead!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_23_faba_is_eyeing_a_fumble_opportunity.PNG?wid th=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
Speed Launcha makes a run for the endzone, and he’s past Faba! The Orcs quickly line up and form a strong cage deep in Elf territory! Faba still has a chance to make the stop, but it is going to be VERY difficult with all those Orcs around!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_24_speed_launcha_evades_faba_and_breaks_free.P NG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And there she is! It’s Faba Hellblade and Speed Launcha staring face to face! Faba is surrounded by Orcs, but she looks confident!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_25_orcs_cage_up_but_Faba_is_there_again_for_th e_stop.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
…until a big block comes in and takes her down! It’s no surprise that all the Orcs would turn on her and get her down. She’s not out of this one, but that was definitely a shot she probably did not want to take!
But Speed Launcha is free! He’s wide open, and he is making a run for the endzone! Folks, it looks like the Killaz may just be able to put together some late-game magic again!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_26_faba_taken_down_and_speed_launcha_breaks_fr ee.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
OH NO! We’ve got an Orc down, and this one does not look good. Runnin Wild is down, and he is not moving. It’s getting very quiet here, but… who else? It’s Lerite Bloodstriker standing over the fallen Orc. After two kills last week, it seems this Dark Elf is not done killing opponents, as he gets a third kill against the Orcs. The trainers are out, and they confirm that it is indeed a death. Our thoughts go out to the family of Runnin Wild.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_27_runnin_wild_killed_by_lerite_bloodstriker.P NG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
With a fallen Orc behind him and time running out, Speed Launcha knows the game is on the line. His eyes are glued to the endzone, and he is going for it! Folks, this could be it! HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!!! It’s a HUGE score to end the game! Speed Launcha runs it in and ties the game 1-1!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_28_speed_launcha_with_the_score.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And with Speed Launcha in the endzone, the buzzer goes off, and this one is over! I cannot believe it! We’ve ended in a 1-1 draw! What a great match!

(*NOTE*: I made a mistake and had the apothecary on the team for this match. The apothecary rerolled the death, so it is not reflected here. For the sake of statistics, I will give credit to Lerite Bloodstriker for the kill, and Runnin Wild is considered “Dead”. Of course, I am sure the Apothecary will be used by Cavir to change that, but I just wanted to explain the inconsistency there.)

Halhokki Tapio +1 FAME
Well folks, we are back with our final game of Blood Bowl for week 2! We have the Iron Lads looking to put together their first win of the season while Holhokki Tapio looks to keep the hot start going. Which team will come out on top in this matchup of speed and brawn? Let’s find out!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_1(4).PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
The Lads will be receiving the kickoff, and Bofarn is back to receive. The kick goes long and Bofarn rushes over to retrieve the ball cleanly. Fans give a sigh of relief as Bofarn manages a clean pick-up. Bofarn rushes to the left sideline, and it looks like the Lads are going to cage up and push their way up the sideline.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_2_Bofarn_no_fumble.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And it looks like the Elves were ready for this one, as they close in quick! It looks like Bofarn is running out of space quickly.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_2_Elves_are_ready.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And what’s this? It’s Vagrin! Vagrin rushes in to clear a path for Bofarn! The Elves look focused though, and they do not seem worried about the death machine.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_3_Vagrin_joins_the_party.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And across the field, we have our first injury of the game! We’ve got an Elf down! Darktrunk takes a massive blow from Grog and he looks like he may out of this game. He struggles his way off the field, and his day is definitely over.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_4_first_injury.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
With the rest of Halhokki Tapio watching their hurting teammate, Bofarn looks to slip away from the Elves, but he’s just a bit too slow and is taken down! It’s a fumble by Bofarn, and the ball is loose!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_5_Bofarn_fumbles.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
The Dwarves are a bit too slow, and it’s a clean recovery by Halhokki Tapio!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_6_fumble_recovered.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
But the Lads are not too far behind Halhokki Tapio, and it’s a HUGE block by the Dwarves! The ball comes loose, and we have another fumble! It’s chaos as the ball rolls around on the pitch!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_another_fumble.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And here comes Vagrin! It looks like he’s done pushing Elves around, and he’s going for the recovery… but no! It’s hard to grab the ball while driving a death machine, and the ball slips out of his grasp!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_8_Vagrin_tries_to_pick_up_the_ball_but_fumbles .PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
Watching Vagrin struggle to recover the fumble, Sharpbriar slips past Vagrin and recovers the loose ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_9_smooth_recovery.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And Sharpbriar is going to slip out of the grasp of all the Dwarves! What an incredible display of athleticism! She’s going to break free of the crowd and give a clean handoff to Clifbranch! We all know what Clifbranch likes to do! He’s got an open field in front of him, and HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!!! SCORE!!!! And Halhokki Tapio with a score in the first half and a 1-0 lead!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_10_Score.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
The Iron Lads have to be disappointed with their offense here. And fans are yelling at Vagrin to focus on the line of scrimmage, but this gets the refs attention. It looks like Vagrin is disqualified from the match, and his day is over. Halhokki Tapio will kick off again, and it looks like Bofarn will give this one another try. He does get the clean recovery, and he’s going to rush for midfield!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_bofarn_picks_up.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And Halhokki Tapio makes a great defensive call, and they close in on Bofarn immediately! He has Krum Mar-Troll open for a handoff, but Bofarn does not seem to want to look his way.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_12_elves_too_fast.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And here comes Grog with a HUGE KO! Bofarn sees an opening, and he is going to take it!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_ko.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
Bofarn slips away from the Elves, and he has an open path to the endzone with time running out! Is he going to get in before the half?! HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… NO!!!!
Bofarn slips at the goalline, and the ball comes out! And that’s the horn folks! It’s halftime, as Bofarn lies in the endzone, with Halhokki Tapio up 1-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_bofarn_fumble_at_goalline.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
The teams are back out for the second half, and Halhokki Tapio has to feel great! They are up 1-0, and they will be receiving the ball to start the second half. They have a chance to go up 2-0 and really put this thing away. One interesting note was that although we had a big KO on the Elves, the Dwarves were actually knocked down more than the Elves were. That has to be concerning for Iron Lads, especially without Vagrin being out there.
Either way, the kickoff is in the air, and it is a great pickup by Sharpbriar. It looks like she is going to take this straight to the left sideline, and Halhokki Tapio is going to try to squeeze past the Iron Lads.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_15_second_half_pickup.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And the Iron Lads are caught off guard! They can’t close off the edge, and Sharpbriar is able to skate past the Dwarves! She gets behind them!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_sharpbriar_on_the_run.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
Sharpbriar has only open field in front of her! She’s making a run for the endzone! SHE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!!!! It’s another score for Halhokki Tapio! They are up 2-0, and the Iron Lads have to be devasted with the big hole they now find themselves in.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_17_second_score.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
Halhokki Tapio looks much more relaxed now, and they send a short kickoff to the Lads. The kick goes out of bounds! Looks like Halhokki Tapio got a bit careless with the kick, and they will have to play smart defense now, as Tot Ironbeard will take the ball for the Iron Lads.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_18_tot_takes_kickoff.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And OH NO! We’ve got an Elf down, and this one looks bad! Udor gets a HUGE blindside hit on Oaksprout, and the Elf is not moving. We saw this a few times last week folks, so we know what this is. It looks like a death on the field. Yep, the trainers are coming out and carrying Oaksprout off the field. Halhokki Tapio really getting caught off guard after that second score.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_19_death_Oaksprout.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And Tot Ironbeard is going to take advantage of the lax defense by Halhokki Tapio, and he is going to run it up the sideline! He finds some space, and he is off!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_20_Tot_breaks_free.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
But what’s this? We’ve got a Dwarf down! Noraks is taken out, and that is a BIG retaliation shot by Dayleaf! Looks like Halhokki Tapio is waking up now and taking these Dwarves serious!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_21_dwarf_down.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
But here comes Krum! He lands a HUGE block on Tallgrove, and the Elf is slow to get up. He’s going to be limping off the field, and his game is ending early. The Elves have taken a few big hits this game, and their numbers are running low. Can the Dwarves take advantage of the missing players?
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_22_another_elf_down.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
Tot Ironbeard is going to try! With the injuries and fighting taking place in the middle of the field, he’s making a break for the endzone! Tot has it, and HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… NO!!! Another goal line fumble by the Iron Lads! What a devasting blow for the Dwarf team, as Tot loses the ball and it goes out the back of the endzone and out of bounds! The ball will be tossed in play, but Tot is down!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_23_Tot_fumble_at_goalline.PNG?width=450&height=278&fit=bounds&crop=fill
And it looks like the Lads will be too slow to get to the loose ball, as Halhokki Tapio recovers the loose ball and run out the clock! And just like that, the match is over and Halhokki Tapio wins it… 2-0!

Match Preview: Hockyhole Tapatio vs. The Green Wave
Here we are in Week 4; and here we are about to see a meetup between two of the top-ranked teams in the league at the moment. This is an important match for both teams. For the Tapatios a fourth win will put them out of reach of any of their divisional rivals, granting them a nigh-unassailable perch atop their division. In league terms, and as a question of morale, a 4-0 record is miles away from 3-1. But winning isn't all that matters here, because the Tapatios are facing up against ogres; and if they want to ensure victory against H.E.L.L. next week (Necro teams notoriously overperform, even when unmanaged), they'll need to get through without any injuries to their key players. For the Green Wave, as players around the league begin to develop, the window in which their snotlings can continue to be evasive and disruptive is beginning to close. As their opponents become more skilled, the Greens will start to see their tiny combatants sidestep less often, and be hurt more often. After all, it wasn't long ago that snotlings were used as fodder in the infamous All-Star week "Snotling Derbies". The Greens need every win they can muster before that begins to happen.
On the side of the Tapatios is their extreme agility and ball-carrying finesse; and when it comes to that, there is going to be a lot asked of wardancers Nightthorn and Sharpbriar. Of course the main disadvantage to these two sharing ball-carrying duties is that they are the two best suited to neutralizing snotlings. How they cope with this is going to come down to their lineman. If the Tapatios' largely unskilled linemen can put some snotlings on the ground, and with Ogres loath to move around for a variety of reasons, this will greatly open up the field for the dancers to run down some scores. If the linemen aren't able to make this happen, there's the likelihood that several snotlings will manage to slip by the blocking screen. While these little guys won't be a terrible threat to the ballcarriers, they may force them to engage in some risky dodges; and once that starts to happen, anything can happen!
For the Greens, the game is largely going to come down to their ogres. If the Green ogres can put down the Tapatio front line, the whole complexion of the play changes. For one, there is a clear path to the backfield. They will be depending on snotlings to penetrate the backfield already, and they can, with their early-season evasive abilities; but open up that front line and they can do so without the risk of being forced to make dodges- and all of the sudden, the Tapatio wardancers have snotlings on their doorstep. The second advantage that the Greens will enjoy if their ogres can beat down the wood elf front line, is increased mobility for the ogres themselves. If one ogre can get loose, perhaps big Durd Elf-Pounder and get himself close to a wardancer, it could spell the end of a possession. Even if it doesn't, if that ogre is still in the wardancer's face, the poor bastard will be forced to go for the dodge. Linemen can peel snotlings off of a ballcarrier, but they'll be hard-pressed to peel an ogre.
All in all, this looks to be shaping up as a much closer match than it might first appear to be on paper. If the wood elves are feeling cocky, discounting the Green Wave snotlings, and looking too far ahead, their hubris (probably attached to the knuckles of an ogre!) is likely to slap them in the face. Meanwhile the Green Wave have everything to play for, and even if they will struggle to score, all they need is for one snotling to snatch up a fumble to turn around the game. The Tapatios are a good squad though, and I think they've shown the ability to overcome the kind of adversity that The Green Wave is hoping to throw at them.

Old Recap:
Week 3 Overview:
In a week with some upsets and some costly deaths, week 3 is definitely a week that can have a lasting impact on the season! Take a look, and see what happened in week 3...
Rabid Weasels get +1 FAME
We are ready to start week 3, and we have what is sure to be a thriller about to start! The surging Green Wave are getting in position as they prepare to take on the Rabid Weasels. The Weasels are currently 0-2, and are in search of their first win. We have yet to see that famed Skaven passing offense, so hopefully Snikch and the rest of the Weasels can get some hot offense early. For the Green Wave, it’s all about punching your way through the opposition. The Ogres have had a slow start to the season, but the Snotlings have been surprisingly impressive. Is this the game where the Ogres finally have an impact? With the kick in the air, we are about to find out!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_1(1).PNG
The kick is up and it looks like Haktar is going to be getting the ball to start this match off. He takes to the sideline, and I think the Skaven are eager to run one in early!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_haktar_takes_kick.PNG
And it looks like the Ogres were ready for this call! One Ogre makes his way to Haktar, and the Snotlings are quick to close off the running lanes for Haktar! And… what’s this? And Rock the Stone gets a quick KO on one of the Skaven early! It’s always surprising to see a Snotling score a KO, but that clears up some space for the Wave. Haktar looks like he’s going to be patient here though, as it’s clear he needs his team to open a running lane for him.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_snotlings_get_a_ko_on_their_way_to_the_ball. PNG
And the Weasels respond in a HUGE way! Rock the Stone is going to be taking some heat for his KO, and he is down! He’s not getting up, as he seems to be in some serious pain. Trainers head out, and it looks like they are going to be shutting Rock down for the game. He’s badly hurt folks, and that is a HUGE blow to the Green Wave.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_rock_the_stone_is_out_with_injury.PNG
But Karak Bone-Chewer is ready with the response! Karak lands a HUGE blow on Haktar, and the Skaven loses the ball! We’ve got a loose ball deep in Weasel territory!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_Karak_bone-chewer_gets_the_fumble.PNG
And here comes Blotty Morel from the Wave for the pickup and easy score… NO! The ball slips through his fingers, and Blotty loses the ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_blotty_morel_fumbles_the_pickup.PNG
And the Weasels just can’t get a grip on the ball either! Both teams are just struggling to pick up the ball here, but the concern for the Weasels is that the ball keeps getting pushed further and further towards their own goal. If they aren’t careful, they could give up an easy score!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_skaven_fumble_pickup.PNG
And Haktar is able to jump to his feet after the big blow and retrieve the ball. He’s deep in his own territory, but he should have no problem running it the distance for the score. With the ball firmly in the grasp of Haktar, it looks like the Skaven are ready to take down some Wave players.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_haktar_retrieves_ball.PNG
And it’s Shosho Shoshoshosho that pays the price! Shosho goes down hard! He’s twitching in pain, and it looks like the trainers are getting their cardio in today as they take to the field. They’re signaling… yes, it seems to be a damaged back! That’s an injury that is going to stick with Shosho for a long time, but in this game it’s another big blow to the Wave as they go down another Snotling!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_and_another_snotling_down.PNG
But Karak Bone-Chewer refuses to let the Skaven break free! He punches his way to the ball, and he lands a HUGE blow onto Haktar! Karak forces another fumble on Haktar, and the ball comes loose mere feet from the goal line! With two Ogres hovering over the ball, the Skaven have to be getting nervous!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_a_huge_fumble_near_goalline.PNG
But here comes Zeet Quarterpounder! He comes from nowhere and scoops up the ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_zeet_picks_up_ball.PNG
There are no Skaven around him, and HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!!! It’s a HUGE score for Zeet and the Green Wave, and they are going to go up 1-0 with almost no time left on the clock in the first half!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_zeet_scores.PNG
Snikch gets the ball, and time is going to expire before the Skaven can do anything! We head into halftime with the Ogres up 1-0 on the Skaven.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_snikch_picks_up_kick.PNG
As we prepare for the second half, the Ogres finally show up and Karak Bone-Chewer gets two huge fumbles. The Skaven did get a couple of key injuries on the Green Wave, but they need to force more space to prevent the Ogres from just punching their way through like they did in the first half. Unfortunately for the Rabid Weasels, the Ogres will be receiving the ball in the second half.
The kick is up, and it looks like Zeet is going to be getting the ball. The team’s leading rusher, Zeet looks confident as he takes to a sideline.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_second_half_zeet_gets_kick.PNG
The Skaven are quick though, so here they have no problem closing in on Zeet! The Snotling looks unconcerned though as the Skaven block his running lanes.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_skaven_close_in.PNG
And you can see why! There goes Zeet, and he looks like he wants to run this one right up the middle of the field! He’s got plenty of muscle around him, as the Ogres begin to form their cage at midfield. One has to wonder if they are going to toss Zeet over the heads of the Weasels!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_ogres_make_a_cage_at_midfield_for_zeet.PNG
But the Skaven are ready! They rush in on Zeet, and here comes the block… Zeet goes down! It’s a loose ball at midfield! The Ogres are all over the ball, so the Skaven can’t quite celebrate yet, but they have a real shot here at the ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_skaven_force_fumble.PNG
And the crowd begins to form around the ball, and… who is that? I can’t get a good look... it’s Haktar! Haktar snakes his way into the crowd and picks up the loose ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_20_haktar_gets_ball.PNG
Haktar looks to make his escape, and… HE’S TRIPPED UP! Haktar seems to be struggling to stay on his feet in this match, and he gets yet another fumble!
The Ogres try to catch the fumble before it hits the ground, and… NO LUCK!!! We’ve got a loose ball at midfield!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_21_ogres_force_fumble_immediately.PNG
And Durd Elf-Pounder turns and SMASHES into Snikch! The Skaven thrower goes down, and he looks like he is some pain! Here come the trainers yet again, and they are signaling for the cart. Snikch’s day is over, as he seems badly hurt by that hit from Durd. That’s another big blow to the Weasels, as they lose one of their key offensive players!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_22_skaven_goes_down_with_injury.PNG
As the Skaven take the injury, Thrash rushes in and snatches the ball! The Snotling looks giddy as he grabs the ball, and momentarily looks a bit too frazzled and excited to do anything.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_23_thrash_retrieves_fumble.PNG
The Weasels close in on Thrash, and he is going to pay for his pause with a HUGE blow from Kharma! The trainers are shaking their head as they come out, and it seems they are worn out from all the running onto the field. They confirm that Thrash is indeed badly hurt, so they are going to rush him off the field. The ball is loose yet again and it sits near midfield!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_24_thrash_pays_by_getting_injured_immediately. PNG
And… who is that? Why it’s Rabid Weasel superfan Quylatch! Quylatch joined the team that was short a player, and he grabs onto the ball! I… I don’t think he knows what he’s doing. He’s celebrating as soon as he grabs the ball! Quylatch! You’re supposed to run with the ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_25_skaven_retrieve_loose_ball.PNG
The Weasels yell at Quylatch to run, and Quylatch takes off! And… he’s knocked down! Quylatch just gets tripped up, and he is going to lose the ball! The ball comes loose yet again, and while the rain is coming down here in the second half, it seems that the big hits are causing more trouble than the rain!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_26_and_another_big_blow_and_fumble.PNG
With the ball at midfield, it seems that the Green Wave just never run out of Snotlings. Here comes Egad, and he manages to scoop up the ball cleanly! The fans seem just as surprised as I do, and I actually had to check the team roster to figure out if he was even a member of the team or someone from the stands!
Either way, Egad has the ball at midfield!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_27_egad_retrieves_ball_and_takes_it_across_mid field.PNG
And the hits just keep coming for the Weasels. Before they can even respond, we’ve got several Skaven down, and now a KO for good measure. The Weasels are running out of players, and things are looking grim. It doesn’t matter how fast you are if you can’t stay on the field. We’re seeing that one here now!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_28_ogre_gets_ko_to_clear_midfield.PNG
Egad is free and he is bumbling his way up the sideline! The Skaven are all battered at midfield, and Egad has a free run to the endzone!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_29_egad_breaks_free.PNG
HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!!! A HUGE score by the Snotling… sorry, I mean Ogre… team! They go up 2-0 on the Weasels, and Egad is rushing the camera. He wants everyone to know he scored that goal!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_30_egad_scores.PNG
There is very little time left, but the Skaven refuse to quit. They receive the ball, and… it’s a Snotling down! The trainers just wave off the injured Snotling, and it looks like some fans are rushing the field to help Mosh off the field. He’s waving, so we at least know he’s alive, but it’s clear he’s badly hurt. In an already painful match, we have yet one more injury.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_32_snotling_injury_on_way_to_ball.PNG
Haktar gets the ball, and the struggling Skaven takes this one towards midfield. He knows this one is just about over, but they’re going for the small victory and going for a score.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_31_short_kick.PNG
Haktar launches the ball! It’s a beautiful pass deep into Green Wave territory, and it’s a great catch by Quylatch! Now that it’s his second time touching the ball, Quylatch knows what to do. He’s got a clear shot to the endzone as time expires! You have got to be happy for a fan to come out and score like that, even at the end of a match.
The timer goes off, and that’s all we’ve got for this one! The Green Wave with an impressive win over the Rabid Weasels, taking this one 2-1!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/tos.PNG
MATCH REVIEW:
A match riddled with big hits and loose balls is exactly the way the Green Wave wants to win. The Weasels were just not able to create enough space, and the Wave simply capitalized on that. The Ogres struck early, and they were able to close gaps in a surprisingly quick manner. After watching the Snotlings play better over the first two weeks, it was interesting to see what this team can do when the Ogres are landing their hits. It also helps that Zeet is turning into a consistent performer on offense. The Skaven did not get as much out of Vossak as they needed against the large Ogre team, and Haktar could just not stay on his feet! Quylatch coming in and being the MVP and lone scorer for this team is a bit of a disappointment, but it is a shining moment for the fan-turned-temporary-player.

Halhokki Tapio get +1 FAME
Welcome Blood Bowl fans for another riveting game of Blood Bowl! We have the hot and fast Halhokki Tapio fresh off a 2-0 over the Iron lads. They will be taking on the tough Red Brick Killaz in what is sure to be a great match between speed and muscle. As the teams take the field, fans are making their voices heard! The fans are all on their feet, and it is deafening here for this one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_1(2).PNG
The kick is up, and it looks like Masta Chuck is going to be retrieving the ball here to start the first half! He’s going to rush that ball to midfield. This one is started folks!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_masta_chuck_take_it_to_the_middle_of_the_fie ld_behind_black_rock_ocs.PNG
And a GREAT start for the Killaz, as Slammer gets the early KO! It’s clear the Killaz are hoping to thin out the numbers for the Halhokki Tapio in this one, and I think this is quite the promising start for the Orcs!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_moonglade_kod_early.PNG
And with that KO, it looks like Masta Chuck has found enough of a crease, and he is going to run it into Halhokki Tapio territory! We’ve got some hard running from the Orc, and the Elves will need to respond quickly if they want to prevent the early deficit!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_masta_chuck_gets_an_opening_and_hes_free.PNG
And if something needs to happen quick, I suppose you can count on the Elves to get it done. Sharpbriar gets in the face of Masta Chuck, and here comes Nightthorn… oh no! She trips and stumbles her way to the feet of Masta Chuck!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_sharpbriar_is_there_but_nightthorn_is_trippe d_on_the_way.PNG
And Masta Chuck is looking confident here folks. He looks to slide his way past Sharpbriar, and… FUMBLE! Sharpbriar with the critical trip, and Masta Chuck loses the ball! We’ve got a loose ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_masta_chuck_is_tripped_up.PNG
And it looks like Sharpbriar is going to be just a bit faster than those Orcs, and she recovers the fumble! Nightthorn makes her way to her feet and offers some support, but it is Elf ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_sharpbriar_picks_up_fumble.PNG
The Killaz are not going to just let Sharpbriar run away unscathed though. They land a few hits onto Sharpbriar and… Sharpbriar stays on her feet! Sharpbriar showing some great footwork here, as she gets shoved around by the Killaz! She’s got a bit of an opening, and she is going to break free from the crowd!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_sharpbriar_is_pushed_around_but_pushed_into_ an_opening.PNG
And she looks to hand that ball off, but who is that? It’s… Darmice? Who’s Darmice? Oh, it seems Halhokki Tapio took a fan to join their team for this match! Darmice looks excited to be playing with his favorite team, and… he’s a bit too excited! He cannot hold onto the ball, and it slips through his fingers! Sharpbriar does not look impressed, but it doesn’t matter! The ball is loose!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_goes_for_handoff_to_fan_daymouth_but_he_fum bles.PNG
And Nightgrove is going to rush in to scoop up the loose ball, and Darmice is looking a bit embarrassed as Nightgrove picks up the ball with ease. He’s close to the endzone, but Halhokki Tapio is looking to ensure it’s a safe run.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_nightgrove_picks_up_ball.PNG
Nightgrove passes a glance to Sharpbriar, and he tries to pass the ball to Sharpbriar! Sharpbriar is surprised though, and she fumbles the catch! It looks like it will be a loose… no! Nightgrove shows some impressive hand-eye coordination, and he manages to snatch the ball before it hits the ground! No turnover!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_ngihtgrove_tries_to_pass_to_sharpbriar_but_ she_fumbles_the_ball_luckily_nightgrove_can_snatch _the_ball_back.PNG
With an impressive recovery by Nightgrove, there’s no way he’s ready for the incoming Speeder… FUMBLE! Speeder lands a HUGE blindside shot, and Nightgrove goes down! We’ve got a loose ball deep in Killaz territory!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_big_hit_and_fumble_by_speeder.PNG
Sharpbriar eyes the loose ball, and… KO! Sharpbriar gets hit with another blindside shot, and she is down! That is a HUGE blow to Halhokki Tapio!

The Killaz can’t quite get to the ball though, and Sunkthicket rushes in and scoops up the ball! He’s got some open field ahead of him, and some fallen teammates behind him!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_elves_pick_up_fumble_and_hand_off_to_scorin g_player.PNG
Sunthicket sees his opening and runs! HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY! Score for Halhokki Tapio, and they go up 1-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_big_score.PNG
And with little time left in the first half, the Killaz are going to try to go for a quick score. Masta Chuck takes the kick, and he’s going to rush this one to midfield.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_mast_chuck_gets_short_kick.PNG
Clifbranch shows off some great speed, and he’s going to get behind Masta Chuck for a big hit! He goes in, and… OH NO! A devastating blow from Masta Chuck! Clifbranch is down, and… oh no… he’s not moving. Folks, it’s always tough to see something like this, but… trainers are going out… they confirm it. Clifbranch has been killed by Masta Chuck!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_20_clifbracnh_goes_for_fumble_but_gets_killed_ by_masta_chuck.PNG
And as the trainers take Clifbranch off the field, the first half ends with Halhokki Tapio up 1-0. We will have to see how Halhokki Tapio responds to the death of Clifbranch in the second half. He’s the fastest player on the team, and he has two scores, so the offense for this team is going to have to come from somewhere else. As for the Red Brick Killaz, I imagine they are going to want to inflict more damage on this Elf team in the second half. They will be on defense to start the second half, so we’ll see how the continue into the second half.
The kick is up, and… it goes out of bounds! Nightthorn is going to be given the ball, and she looks ready to run! She takes the ball towards the middle of the field, as the Elves look to set up a play!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_21_ball_goes_out_of_bounds_so_is_given_to_nigh tthorn_who_goes_to_the_middle_of_field.PNG
The Orcs are ready, and the punch their way through the line of scrimmage. And here comes Red Brick Killaz newest player Bullrush, and he is making his presence known! He lands a HUGE hit onto Tallgrove, and the Elf hits the ground hard! Trainers come out, and it sounds like he’s badly hurt and out of this match!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_23_bullrush_badly_hurts_tallgrove.PNG
Nightthorn dodges the Killaz, and she manages to take this one to the sideline. She finds the edge, and she is going to try to squeeze through along the sideline!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_24_nighthorn_dodges_and_breaks_free.PNG
And Nightthorn is going to find Sharpbriar! Nightthorn gets a successful handoff over to Sharpbriar, and the two are showing some great teamwork here in the second half!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_27_nightthorn_success_handoff_to_sharpbriar.PN G
The Killaz are closing in, and… Darmice with a HUGE hit! The fan uses that adrenaline to take down one of the Orcs, and Tripper is down! Trainers look at each other, and it seems they are a bit surprised. It sounds like… yep. Darmice has successfully injured Tripper! I’m hearing it’s a fractured arm. What a devastating blow by superfan Darmice! I don’t think he actually knows what just happened.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_28_fractured_arm_on_Orc.PNG
And Sharpbriar takes the opening created by Darmice, and she finds some open field!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_29_sharpbriar_is_free.PNG
SHE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!! And it’s another score by Halhokki Tapio, as Sharpbriar runs this one in and Halhokki Tapio goes up 2-0 on the Red Brick Killaz! And Killaz fans are not happy about this one. There’s a fight in the stands, but Sharpbriar still celebrates in the endzone.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_30_sharpbriar_score.PNG
As the fans settle down, the kick is up, and… they kick it right to Masta Chuck. It seems Halhokki Tapio likes what they have seen out of his offense, and they avoid Speed Launcha here!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_31_after_struggles_elves_kick_right_to_masta_c huck.PNG
Masta Chuck takes the ball and runs it to midfield. Time is running out, but it looks like the Orcs want to get a score in this one still.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_32_chuck_takes_ball_goes_to_sideline.PNG
And it seems like they want to do more than just score! Slammer gets a HUGE hit onto Sunthicket, and it seems like the Killaz are sending a message here. They don’t like to be scored on, and they DEFINITELY do not like losing. Sunthicket is helped off the field by trainers, and… it sounds like it is a fractured skull. That one is going to hurt for a while!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_34_franken_gets_fractured_skull_injury.PNG
Masta Chuck runs it up the sideline, and it looks like the Elves are trying to keep their space. They know Masta Chuck has already killed one Elf, and there are plenty more injured Elves on the sideline…
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_35_chuck_runs_free_again.PNG
Oh man. This one is getting ugly fast folks! We’ve got a foul back in Orc territory, and it’s a bad injury onto Redtwig! The ref doesn’t like that one though, and it looks like that Orc is getting ejected for the dirty hit. The fans love it though, and they are cheering louder for the foul than they did for any score! I’m being told that the foul resulted in a Smashed Hip on Redtwig after the foul. The injuries just keep piling up here late!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_36_foul_and_smashed_hip_player_ejected.PNG
Sharpbriar and Nightthorn are some of the only Elves left, but they do not like the big hits coming from the Killaz! They charge in at Masta Chuck, and… it’s a fumble! Masta Chuck just cannot hang onto that ball today, and the ball comes loose!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_37_chuck_fumbles.PNG
The Elves look to scoop up the ball to end this one, but… HERE COMES THE KILLAZ! Both Sharpbriar and Nightthorn get taken down, and now here comes Bullrush! The newest Orc player runs in and grabs the ball and he pushes his way past both the fallen Sharpbriar and Nightthorn! I cannot believe this folks! He’s fighting for that endzone!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_38_10_picks_up_ball.PNG
Is he… I think… he is… SCORE! And Bullrush makes his presence known in this one, as he gets the score at end of the match! Red Brick Killaz are still down 2-1, but they put on a literal clinic in this one!
And time expires as the kick goes off. Halhokki Tapio stay undefeated at the end of this one, winning it 2-1!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_39_10_scores.PNG
MATCH REVIEW:
The Killaz got plenty of casualties, and even a bigtime kill onto Clifbranch, but the early score from Halhokki Tapio was enough for the Elves to keep the lead. Masta Chuck showed this match that he is definitely not Speed Launcha, but Bullrush flexed a bit in his first match with a casualty and a score. Halhokki Tapio stays unbeaten, but they suffered quite a bit on the injury front. Thankfully both Sharpbriar and Nightthorn are still alive but losing Clifbranch is a devastating loss. Sharpbriar and Nightthorn may both need to carry this team past their current injuries, so we will see if they are up for the task.

Iron Lads get +1FAME
Welcome fans one and all! We are here live with a match between the Watchtower Wiccans and the Iron Lads!
As we get ready for this match, fans of the Iron Lads are hoping that the Dwarf team can get some offense going in this one. The Lads have yet to score a goal this season, so eyes will be on Bofarn to deliver. For the Wiccans, Faba Hellblade had a great week last week, and Faba fans are hoping she can repeat her strong showing! Let’s turn to the field as the kick is about to go up!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_1(3).PNG
And the kick is up, and Faba is back to receive. She picks up the ball, and she is going to run this one to the sideline. She’s got plenty of space to work with, and the Wiccans are looking to set up a big play while the Dwarves slowly work their way to the ball.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_2_Faba_gets_ball.PNG
And… WHOA! Here comes Vagrin! We watched Vagrin get heavily involved last week, and after a couple of knockdowns, it seems Vagrin has found an opening to Faba! The Deathroller closes in, and that hot vehicle is pressing right up against Faba!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_Vagrin_breaks_a_tackle_and_pushes_his_way_to _Faba.PNG
Faba doesn’t hesitate, and she definitely does not seem to want to give Vagrin a chance at the ball, so she takes off! She runs it up the sideline, and she has plenty of space to work with!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_faba_easily_escapes_Vagrin.PNG
And there’s a HUGE hit onto Tot Ironbeard! Tot has been a key offensive piece for this Lads team, so that is a devastating blow to the Dwarf team, especially if that injury lingers! This means more pressure onto Bofarn!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_Tot_injured_with_fractured_arm_ninnon.PNG
Noraks responds for the Lads with a nice KO! The Dwarves want to catch up to the Dark Elves, but it seems Noraks wants to send a message early!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_lads_respond_with_ko.PNG
With the focus on getting the KO, the Wiccans seal the edge, and it looks like the Dwarves are struggling to break through! Faba has way too much space to work with. I cannot believe it! She’s taking it to the house!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_dwraves_try_to_close_in_but_Faba_too_fast.PN G
And the whip comes out as it's a score for Faba Hellblade! The Wiccans take an early 1-0 lead! Noraks celebrates his KO, but the Lads are down early and down Tot Ironbeard!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_faba_scores.PNG
The kick goes up, and Bofarn retrieves the ball. Without Tot being out there, it looks like Bofarn will have to carry this offense to their first score of the season.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_bofarn_gets_ball_and_runs_to_midfield.PNG
And the Wiccans close in on Bofarn, but… some big hits by the Lads! We’ve got multiple Elves down, and Bofarn has some space to work with. He’s trying to find a running lane, but he seems to be struggling to cut it upfield!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_lads_make_a_cage_and_knock_down_some_elves_ to_clear_a_path_for_bofarn.PNG
Bofarn cuts across the field and finds his way into Wiccan territory! He’s going as fast as those little legs will take him, but time is up and we are at halftime! Wiccans are up 1-0 at the half!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_bofarn_runs_but_its_too_late.PNG
As we head into the second half, it’s clear that the Lads are missing Tot on offense. Bofarn looks a bit shaky out there with his runs, and the Lads are going to need more out of him in this second half if they want to stay competitive! The Wiccans should be thrilled with their offensive score, but they will be on the defensive against a burly Dwarf team. We know the offense has been on point for the Wiccans, and the defense has been lethal, but let’s see how they do here in the second half!
The kick is up, and it looks like Bofarn is going to go retrieve the… OH NO! Bofarn struggles to grab the ball, and it’s a fumble! Fans of the Iron Lads are not happy about this, and they are yelling at Bofarn!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_second_half_bofarn_goes_for_ball_and_fumble s_it.PNG
With the Wiccans scrambling towards the loose ball, Bofarn rushes to retrieve the ball… OH NO! NOT AGAIN! Bofarn fumbles the ball AGAIN! The fans are really letting him have it, and Noraks looks dumbfounded as well. Noraks seems very upset with Bofarn and the multiple fumbles, and this one just looks rough folks!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_bofarn_fumbles_again.PNG
And the Wiccans have arrived! The Elves close in, and it’s a big hit onto Bofarn! Bofarn stumbles to the ground, and only Noraks is there! Lad fans are yelling at Wiccan fans now, and it looks like there’s a brawl in the stands!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_bofarn_knocked_down.PNG
And with Bofarn down, Vele Silentmoor rushes in and scoops up the ball in front of a bewildered Noraks! Fans are brawling in the stands, and Noraks is just in disbelief here folks. I must say I’m a bit surprised as well!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_Vele_Silentmoor_picks_up_loose_ball.PNG
Vele Silentmoor has no trouble running around a frustrated Noraks, but Vindli is there to land a big hit onto Vele, and Vele goes down! The ball comes out, and we’ve got a FUMBLE!!!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_21_finally_a_fumble.PNG
It’s a mad scramble for the ball, and the fans have stopped fighting for the moment! Here comes Krum Mar-Troll, and he’s looking to clear up some Elves! He runs in and… OH NO! Krum trips on his way in! He trips over himself, and… wait… he… he isn’t moving! I don’t know what to say here folks. We’ve got a non-contact injury, but Krum appears to be… there’s no way. Trainers are rushing out, and it looks like… I’m afraid the trainers have confirmed it. Krum Mar-Troll died by tripping over himself on the field. You really hate to see it like this, but the Lads are in some serious trouble here. Noraks is still in complete disbelief, and the Lad fans have begun fighting among themselves. This one is turning ugly quickly, but we offer our condolences to the family of Krum.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_22_krum_mar-troll_trips_on_way_to_ball_and_dies.PNG
The Wiccans refuse to pause for the fallen Krum, and they are going to rush in for a scoop and score! Lerite runs in, and… he struggles to pick up the ball! The league’s leading killer does not seem to have the same prowess on offense, and the ball is still loose!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_23_lerite_goes_for_ball_but_fumbles.PNG
And Dolor comes from nowhere to pick up the ball! With so many Dwarves down, and Noraks still in disbelief at his team’s performance, it looks like Dolor is trying to get this one tied up!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_24_dwarves_get_loose_ball.PNG
And here comes Lerite Bloodstriker! He may not be able to corral the ball, but he knows how to send a player to the bench! He lands a huge blow onto Dolor, and Dolor goes down hard! The ball comes loose, and Dolor comes out of the game. You’ve got to give credit to Dolor for trying to spark this Lads team, but he pays for the effort with a big injury.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_25_dolor_gets_injured_and_loses_ball.PNG
And the Elves are all over this one, and Gager Hellmaul runs in to grab the ball! He’s got plenty of space to work with, and he’s going to just walk this one in.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_26_gager_gets_ball_and_heads_for_score.PNG
Wiccans score, and go up 2-0 with time set to expire! Lad fans have gone quiet, and it looks like they are filing out of the stands early.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_27_gager_scores.PNG
The kick is up, Bofarn retrieves the ball, but time is over! It’s a big win for the Wiccans, and a big loss for the Lads, as the Watchtower Wiccans take this one 2-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_28_bofarn_gets_late_kcik.PNG
MATCH REVIEW:
The Wiccans are quickly developing into quite the lethal team. Lerite Bloodstriker continues his impressive defensive season, and Faba continues to run well on offense. The Lads on the other hand, find themselves taking more than just a loss. The non-contact death of Krum overshadows multiple injuries to this team. Bofarn is just not able to do enough on offense, and Vagrin has yet to record a stat of note this season. It’s the second 2-0 loss for the Lads, and they have yet to score a point this season.

Landerned Landwasters get +2 FAME
And welcome folks to what is sure to be a riveting game of Blood Bowl! We have what is sure to be a great match today, as we have a legendary Blood Bowl player taking the field today. That’s right! Boomer Eziasson will be joining the Landerned Landwasters as they look to get their first win of the season against the undefeated H.E.L.L. The fans are filing in, and the teams are taking to the field. Let’s get this match started!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_1(8).PNG
The kick is up, and Never Lice is back to receive for H.E.L.L. As Never Lice grabs the ball, the fans are going nuts! This werewolf is definitely a fan favorite, and he’s looking to put in a strong offensive showing here early!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_Never_Lice_retrieves_the_short_kick.PNG
The Landwasters are coming in, and… there goes Never Lice! He does a great job of finding the edge, and he takes off! He gets deep into Landwaster territory!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_Never_Lice_breaks_free_down_the_sideline.PNG
Legfwine Dethbeer is there though, and he looks like he’s ready to lay out a big hit on the werewolf player! He goes in and… WHOA! Never Lice shows off his deadly claws, and Legfwine goes down! The fans are going nuts, and Never Lice has a clear lane to the endzone!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_goes_for_the_hit_but_Never_Lice_pulls_out_th e_claws.PNG
HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!! It’s a quick score for Never Lice and H.E.L.L. and they go up 1-0 in this one! The Norse fans look a bit disappointed, but they are happy to at least have all the players still alive and standing!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_NL_scores.PNG
With the early score, the Landwasters will have some time to get a score in before the half, and as the kick goes up, it looks like Legfwine is going to be taking the ball here. Let’s not forget he had a great run for the Norse team last week, so we know he’s capable of some good offense.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_Legfwine_Deth_takes_the_kick.PNG
Legfwine gets a good grip on the ball, but Vitat Met and Khrem D’ang are there early! These two are just way too fast that it feels unfair sometimes!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_Hell_closes_in_on_Legfwine.PNG
Legfwine is patient with the ball here though, and Manfred Man comes through with a great block to create a nice running lane for Legfwine! Legfwine takes this one to midfield, and he has a strong line of teammates in front of him. This looks like a great play for the Landwasters!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_Legfwine_runs_hard_to_midfield.PNG
Legfwine is displaying some great patience with the ball, but… here comes H.E.L.L! Legfwine takes a big hit, and he goes down! The ball comes loose, but it looks like... oh no! Manfred is not able to corral the ball, and it falls into the hands of Khrem! With the way Khrem runs, it looks like the Landwasters may find themselves in a 2-0 hole before the half!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_Legfwine_hit_hard_and_fumbles_into_the_hand s_of_Khrem.PNG
Khrem turns and takes off for the endzone! He’s got open field in front of him! …WAIT! Manfred Man manages to get a hand onto the foot of Khrem, and Khrem is tripped up! The ball comes out, and time runs out! The Landerned Landwasters are able to prevent a catastrophe, and they go into halftime down 1-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_Khrem_tripped_up_and_fumbles.PNG
As we prepare for the second half, the Landwaster fans are breathing a sigh of relief. No injuries, no casualties, and no death! This would usually make for a boring Blood Bowl game, but the Landerned Landwaster fans are happy to have a full team. Boomer Eziasson has held up strong at the line of scrimmage, and the Norse team are running around him quite well. Getting the ball in the second half, let’s see if the Landwasters can get a good drive going. For H.E.L.L., they need someone to step up on defense! Saphed or Pablo Pizza need to get a good push at the line of scrimmage if they want to hold this lead!
The kick is up, and it looks like Kjetill is going to be taking the ball here. Legfwine looks a big surprised, but he is happy to trudge ahead as Kjetill takes off for the sideline. He’s got a few teammates to make a loose cage, so let’s see what the Landwasters have planned.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_second_half_kick_goes_out_and_given_to_kjet ill.PNG
Boomer Eziasson gets a nice knockdown, and the Norse team is able to clear a HUGE running lane for Kjetill! The H.E.L.L. continue to get pushed around by the Norse team, and Kjetill has almost too much space to work with! He offers a high-five to Legfwine, and Kjetill takes off!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_with_so_many_players_down_for_hell_kjetill_ runs_it.PNG
HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!!! SCORE FOR KJETILL! Kjetill takes the massive running lane created by his team all the way to the endzone, and the Landerned Landwasters tie it up at 1!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_Kjetill_scores.PNG
We are running low on time, but those Norse fans are really showing some enthusiasm for their team! You can feel some momentum forming for the Landwasters, but with H.E.L.L. getting the ball, getting their first win of the season is still a difficult task! Never Lice is back to receive the kick, and he is looking ready for a quick run! He’s already taken one the distance, so anything is possible when the ball is in Never Lice’s hands!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_Never_Lice_gets_kick_and_takes_it_to_midfie ld.PNG
Never Lice takes off for midfield, and… Legfwine Dethbeer is there! Godwin rushes the werewolf, and blocks the running lane!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_Legfwine_closes_in.PNG
Never Lice manages to avoid the big hit and takes a few steps back to create some space. BUT HERE COMES LEGFWINE! Never Lice is not able to get out of the way, and Legfwine lands a HUGE blow on the H.E.L.L. player! Never Lice hits the field, and the ball comes loose! We’ve got a fumble in Necromantic territory, and the Norse fans are going wild!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_Never_Lice_hit_for_a_fumble.PNG
Sten Sterlift is there to scoop the ball! I cannot believe it! Sten Sterlift has the ball, and he is deep in H.E.L.L! This cannot be happening folks! HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!! It’s a HUGE score for Sten Sterlift and the Landwasters! They pull ahead 2-1 with the game pretty much over! I can’t believe it! The fans can’t believe it! Even Sten Sterlift can’t believe it!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_20_player_number_two_picks_up_fumble_and_takes _it_in_for_the_score.PNG
We still have to do the kickoff, but the Landerned Landwasters know this is just a formality at this stage of the game. After all the adversity this team had to overcome in week 1, this feels like a HUGE win for the Norse team!
The kick goes up, and the ball bounces deep in H.E.L.L. territory as the time finally runs out for this match. What an incredible win for the Landerned Landwasters as they win their first match of the season 2-1.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_21_deep_kick_and_thats_it.PNG
MATCH REVIEW:
There were no deaths, no casualties, and no KOs in this one, but the Landwasters are happy to walk out of this one alive and with their first win of the season. Boomer held up at the line of scrimmage, and kept the heavy hitters busy all game. This gave the rest of the Norse team the space they needed to outwork the faster players from H.E.L.L. For the Necromantic team, Never Lice had a good showing but both Vitat Met and Khrem D’ang felt invisible in this match.

Killaz get +1 FAME
Fans of Blood Bowl, welcome to this presentation of the Blood Bowl League! We are starting week four with what is sure to be a great match between the Red Brick Killaz and the Rabid Weasels! The Weasels are looking for their first win of the season, but they have managed to look competitive for all of their three losses. Can they find success against the Orcs? The Killaz have struggled to get back into the win column after an impressive week one win, but after injuring about half of the Halhokki Tapio Elves, the Killaz have to be excited to take on a more frail team.

The kick is up, and it looks like… What is this? The Weasels have Vossak back to retrieve the ball! Vossak is a big rat, and against a bashing Orc team, I am shocked that the Weasels would deploy Vossak as a ballcarrier!
Well, Vossak has the ball and he is charging to midfield! I don’t know if he’s aware of what is going on, but he looks comfortable with that ball in his paw.

The Killaz look thrilled to have Vossak carrying the ball! With the rest of the Weasel team being a bit easy to push around, it seems the Killaz are having no trouble pushing their way through to the ball! They’re closing in quickly on Vossak!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_fresh_off_injury_bad_dog_blocks_the_edge_on_ vossak.PNG
The Orcs close in, but Vossak is fighting them off! He may be a Skaven, but it is clear that this ball carrying Skaven is no pushover! He stands tall, literally towering over the Orcs!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_bad_dog_comes_in_and_gets_in_vossaks_way.PNG
Across the field, the Orcs are taking advantage of the smaller Skaven, and Masta Chuck lands a HUGE shot onto Fujin, and the Skaven is out with a KO! The Weasels need to figure this one out before the Orcs take out all of their players!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_chuck_with_first_ko_of_game.PNG
The Weasels have their hands full across the field, and Vossak is left to take on way too many Killaz on his own! Ragin Red lands a great shot onto the big Skaven and Vossak goes down hard! He looks a bit stunned, but the ball comes out! We’ve got a loose ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_number_7_lays_out_vossak_and_ball_gets_loose .PNG
The ball lands right behind Bad Dog, and he’s going to turn around and pick this one up! He’s close to the endzone, and with so many Weasel players tied up by Orcs, this looks like it could be disaster for the Weasels early!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_bad_dog_recovers_and_makes_for_endzone.PNG
But here comes Haktar and Critar! Two Skaven sandwich the Orc, and Bad Dog looks surprised by the double team hit! Critar lands a HUGE block onto Bad Dog, and the Orc is down! I repeat. The Orc is down! We’ve got a loose ball, and it just continues to roll a bit closer to the endzone!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_haktar_and_critar_come_in_and_stop_run.PNG
It’s a mad scramble to the ball! We’ve got a Skaven out front, but the Killaz are all over the place on this field!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_ball_is_loose.PNG
And it’s Masta Chuck who comes in and grabs the ball! He scoops it up right in front of the Weasels, and he’s got just a short couple of steps to the endzone!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_chuck_picks_up_ball_and_scores.PNG
This looks like it should be an easy score… and it is! Masta Chuck punches it in after a rough week last week, and he is going to put the Red Brick Killaz up 1-0 early in this one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/sco.PNG
The Weasels are back to receive the kick, but it seems they know they are out of time in the first half. Snikch has the ball, and it looks like he’s just going to take off for the locker room!
As Snikch heads for the locker room, it seems we are done with the first half, and we head into halftime 1-0 Killaz!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_kick_goes_out_and_snikch_gets_it.PNG
After scoring late in the first half, the Killaz will have a chance to put this one away as they receive the ball in the second half. The Weasels are showing some questionable decisions in the first half, and one has to wonder if the lack of a coach is hurting this team. Vossak carrying the ball really looks like a poor decision now. Hopefully the Weasels can recover.
Either way, the kick is up to start the second half. Speed Launcha is back, and he is going to get this one deep in his own territory.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_second_half_deep_kick_launcha_gets_it.PNG
And that does not look good. We’ve got Shkezo down for the Weasels, and that cannot be how the Weasels wanted to start this second half. It looks like he ran possibly a bit too far for his little legs, and he looks like he’s hurting. The trainers are heading out there, but they insist he is only badly hurt. He’s out of this game, but it seems he should be okay.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_shkezo_badly_hurt_by_slammer_i_think.PNG
And it just gets worse. Da Wall lands another big blow for the Killaz and it looks like Fujin is knocked out again! We may want to get that Skaven checked out!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_da_wall_gets_a_ko_opening_a_hole.PNG
Speed Launcha takes the ball to midfield, and it looks like the Orcs are having no problem pushing the Weasels around. They get Themselves another KO, and they are creating running lanes for Speed Launcha that almost run as wide as the entire field itself!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_another_ko.PNG
Speed Launcha takes advantage, and he is off towards the endzone! He’s up the sideline, and he has no one in his vicinity! The Killaz look like they may take this one, and HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAIT!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_20_launcha_is_free.PNG
We’ve got another Skaven down, and it looks like Da Wall has landed a BIG blow onto Kharma! This one looks worse than a knockout, and the trainers are going to have to help this one to the sideline. It seems like he’s only badly hurt, but that’s an early end to his day.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_21_da_wall_badly_hurts_kharma.PNG
Okay… back to Speed Launcha. Where is he? He’s free to the endzone! HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!!! It’s a score for Speed Launcha, and the Killaz have all but ended this one as they go up 2-0 on the Weasels!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_22_launcha_scores.PNG
There isn’t much hope for the Weasels at this point, but Snikch is still back to receive this one. He gets the kick, and… is he looking to pass it? He’s got a teammate open downfield!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_23_snikch_recovers_kick.PNG
Snikch goes back to pass, and… INTERCEPTED!!!! Da Wall reaches up, and he just swallows that ball! What a play by the Orc, and that interception is going to seal the win for the Red Brick Killaz! They win this one, 2-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_24_snikch_goes_for_toss_and_game_ending_interc eption_by_da_wall.PNG
MATCH REVIEW:
The Red Brick Killaz were clearly the more prepared team for this match. Both Masta Chuck and Speed Launcha had good showings, and Da Wall finally showed off a big of his skill in a game-changing way. The Killaz have to feel good about this one, while the Weasels have to be a bit worried. Having Vossak lead with the ball was a questionable decision, but the real concern is the lack of a score. This team is winless halfway through the season, and it is concerning that they seem to be regressing as well!

Green Wave get +1 FAME
The snow is falling, so you know it’s a cold one, but we have a HOT game ahead! The fans are going crazy, and the players are taking the field. Who else can drum up this level of excitement?! It’s Halhokki Tapio and the Green Wave of course! Halhokki Tapio is looking to continue their three game win streak, but they are down several players. They did get some superfans for this one, but the Green Wave has proven to be no pushover in this league. They have a couple of impressive wins this season, and we will see if the magical season continues!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_1(4).PNG
The kick is up, and… it is a short one! The ball just barely passes midfield, and the Ogres seem eager to steal a possession here!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_kick_is_up_and_its_a_short_one_on_a_snowy_da y.PNG
Nightthorn picks up the ball, and she has some space to work with.
But here comes the Ogres! Gog comes in and lands a big blow, racking up a KO for himself. He closes in on Nightthorn, and this run just became a whole lot harder!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_Gog_comes_in_with_a_KO.PNG
And oh wow! Karak Bone-Chewer begins to pile on at the line of scrimmage, and it looks like he will be getting a KO of his own! Two quick Kos to start the game! The Elves have to be feeling a bit worried after that!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_Karak_comes_in_and_piles_on_to_get_another_k o.PNG
AND THE HITS JUST KEEP COMING! Durd Elf-Pounder runs in and pounds an Elf! This one looks painful, as Tallgrove stays down. The trainers rush out, and they are going to help him off field. He looks badly hurt, and he is going to be missing the rest of this one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_durd_badly_hurts_tallgrove.PNG
And you have got to be kidding me! Another Elf down! The Ogres coming out in full force in this one, and we seem to have ANOTHER downed Elf! The trainers are still tending to Tallgrove, so we have to wait… finally the trainers head out, and it looks like it’s Moonglade this time that is down with an injury.
He is responding, so it seems he’s just badly hurt, but that is another Elf down for this one! Halhokki Tapio is looking a bit bare out there!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_Urt_badly_hurts_Moonglade.PNG
With almost no Elves left to target, the Ogres turn their attention to Nightthorn. They rush in, and Nightthorn takes off!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_nightthorn_takes_a_gap_and_runs_it_to_midfie ld.PNG
And… seriously?! ANOTHER KO?!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_another_ko.PNG
Nightthorn makes her way deep into Green Wave territory, and… she hands it off! Who is that? She hands it off to… a superfan? It’s Elanel? Who is that? It doesn’t matter?
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_nightthorn_hands_off_to_fan_elanel.PNG
Well superfan Elanel takes the handoff, and HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!!! A score for Halhokki Tapio and they are looking great to start this match! They take the lead late in the first half, 1-0.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/sco(1).PNG
We are still in the first half, and Zeet Quarterpounder is back to retrieve the ball. He scoops it up, and… he’s heading for Gog Face-Smasher? What… what is he… HE’S GOING TO TOSS ZEET! Zeet is launched into Halhokki Tapio territory, and… he fails the landing! Zeet hits the ground, and the ball comes loose!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_kick_and_Gog_tries_to_toss_Zeet_but_Zeet_ca nt_land.PNG
Without any Green Wave players around, Nightthorn picks this one up easy!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_nightthorn_picks_up_ball.PNG
Karak Bone-Chewer just refuses to stop getting KOs in this one! He continues to pile on on any players in front of him, and that is ANOTHER Elf down!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_karak_piles_on_again_but_only_gets_another_ ko.PNG
And time runs… wait! ANOTHER KO?! Folks, mercifully the alarm goes off, so it is halftime, but the Ogres get one more KO before the half comes to a close! We have several Elf players down, but they still are leading this one… 1-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_another_ko.PNG
As we head into the second half, Halhokki Tapio is feeling the losses from last week. The superfans are just not the same, and the Green Wave is able to capitalize with some big hits on these fresh players. The Ogres will get the ball in the second half, so let’s see if they are able to get this game tied up!
The kick is up and Zeet is back to get this one.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_second_half_and_zeet_gets_kick.PNG
Halhokki Tapio has no problem closing the gap, but Zeet just works wonders! The Snotling weaves his way through the Elves, and he finds himself in Elf territory!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_tapio_closes_in_but_zeet_weaves_through_the _elves.PNG
Most of the Halhokki Tapio players are down, but that does not stop Dayleaf from rushing to Zeet! He goes for the hit, and… it connects! Dayleaf lands a great hit onto Quarterpounder, and the Snotling goes down to the grass! The ball pops out, and it falls loose! We have a fumble!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_Dayleaf_comes_in_and_forces_fumble.PNG
And this one looks like it could be over, as Nightthorn recovers the loose ball! She’s already had a successful run, so it looks like she will try to put this one away!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_nightthorn_recovers_ball.PNG
And… What is going on here?! ANOTHER KO?! Halhokki Tapio is running out of Elves again!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_superfan_Zensanel_trips_and_KOs.PNG
And another KO! This one looks like its… yes, it’s a superfan! Zensanel goes down with a KO as he walks across the field. I’m not quite sure how, but it seems he has knocked himself out!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_20_ogres_get_another_KO.PNG
And the Elves are FINALLY able to respond with a big hit of their own! Dayleaf finds a shot, and he takes it! He connects onto Egad, and the Snotling goes down hard! He scored last week, but it looks like he’s going to have to find his way to the bench in this one. The trainers cannot believe it, and I don’t think I can either! Too many KOs and casualties!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_21_Egad_badly_hurt_by_Dayleaf.PNG
And… wow. This is turning into an ugly game quickly for Halhokki Tapio. Superfan Elanel, the same superfan that scored earlier, is getting the full Blood Bowl experience, and he is sent to the grave by Urt. Fans are in shock at the amount of big hits in this one, but this one is definitely the worst they’ve seen so far! We have backup trainers rushing out, and they have no idea what they are doing. They’re going to just carry Elanel off the field.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_22_Urt_kills_superfan_elanel.PNG
There are almost no Elves left on the field, and Gog is able to capitalize on the empty field! He charges Nightthorn, and… he gets the FUMBLE! The ball goes out of bounds, but it is a FUMBLE!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_23_Gog_forces_fumble_ball_goes_out_of_bounds.P NG
The ball is tossed in… oh come on! That is a lousy toss, and it lands into Green Wave territory! That is definitely a controversial toss, but the Green Wave does not have time to complain to the refs.
With almost no Elf players left, the Ogres have a clear shot to the ball, and its Mushroom that picks it up! The Snotling grabs the ball, and… I’m honestly not sure what the Elves can do with what they have left on the field.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_24_controversial_toss_into_Wave_territory_but_ Mushroom_is_there_to_recover.PNG
Mushroom runs it to midfield, and the Green Wave fans are going nuts!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_25_mushroom_goes_to_midfield_but_there_are_alm ost_no_elves_left_on_the_field.PNG
Time is running out but Mushroom just keeps going! There’s only five Halhokki Tapio players left but Mushroom just keeps going! Nothing is stopping Mushroom from running to the endzone!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_26_time_is_running_out_but_mushroom_is_breakin g_for_the_endzone_elves_are_closing_in.PNG
HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!!! Score for the Green Wave, and they have tied it at one! I cannot believe it! There are no Elf players really left, and Mushroom has an easy path to the endzone to knot this one up!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_27_Mushroom_scores.PNG
And as the kick is up to bring this one to an end, I just want to say… DAYLEAF! Dayleaf charges into Ogre territory, and he lands a big time hit onto Blorn the Rocket! Blorn the Rocket is down, and the trainers just leave him out there as time expires! Thanks to some end-of-game desperation, the Green Wave manage to tie Halhokki Tapio, and they bring that magical win streak to an end!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_28_dayleaf_gets_one_more_injury.PNG
MATCH REVIEW:
Halhokki Tapio really felt the loss of so many players. The Green Wave is really starting to find their identity as a team, and they really brought the hits to Halhokki Tapio. The big hits really is what led to the tie, as Halhokki Tapio just ran out of options at the end of the game. Six KOs and 3 casualties… it’s just a bit too much for any team to overcome, and a red-hot team like Halhokki Tapio is no exception.

Landwasters get +1 FAME
Fans of Blood Bowl, we are excited for another great match as the Iron Lads look for their first score and first win of the season against the Landerned Landwasters! After a rough start to the season, the Landwasters are eager to get some momentum going today, and they are thrilled to show off their new star player, Erik Longarm! The Iron Lads are hoping Bofarn can finally put together a little bit of offense, as he has led a disappointing season for the Dwarf team. Who will come out on top? Let’s find out as the teams take to the field!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_1(11).PNG
The kick is up, and Erik Longarm is back to… whoa! The Dwarves come in and land a big block early on Cnut the Dyslexic as Udor makes his presence felt early. This early KO could set the tone for the match, so the Landwasters better be careful!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_1_Udor_with_ko_on_cnut.PNG
Erik Longarm retrieves the ball, and he scans the field. He finds a little running room, and he begins to push the ball upfield.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_fancy_new_player_Erik_takes_kick_along_the_s ideline.PNG
And as Longarm takes the ball to the sideline, the Landwasters rush him, and it looks like they are going to form a cage to fend off the Dwarves. Great strategy and… oh no! Superfan Regin has tripped on his way to the cage, and he looks like he is staying down. Trainers are coming out, and… it’s a KO. Superfan Regin has KOed himself.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_superfan_regin_rushes_for_cage_and_falls_kno cking_himself_out.PNG
And with that KO, Longarm is a bit exposed. The Dwarves are rushing him, and… here comes Bofarn! The Dwarf gets behind the cage, and he’s going to land a big hit on Erik Longarm! Longarm is going to hit the ground hard just inside the out of bounds line, but the ball comes loose! It’s a frenzy down there!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_bofarn_with_a_nice_forced_fumble_on_Erik.PNG
And here comes Vagrin! With the ball loose, it only makes sense that the death machine would rush in to create a little chaos! He runs over Torbjorn, and Torbjorn is staying down. Trainers are looking at each other, and it seems even the trainers are hesitant to approach the Deathroller! They finally come out, and it is confirmed. Torbjorn is out with an injury. I’m being told it’s a fractured leg. Rough start for Torbjorn, and it’s an even tougher start for the Landwasters!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_vagrin_fractured_leg_on_Torbjorn.PNG
And it’s a big mistake by the Lads, as the ball is left loose! Vagrin drew all of the attention, and the Dwarves seem to be celebrating the injury, but Erik Longarm jumps back to his feet, and he scoops up the ball! He gets into Lad territory, and the Dwarves are caught off guard!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_Erik_takes_the_ball_into_lad_territory_after _a_block_by_Lejfwine.PNG
The Lads are trying to catch Longarm, but he’s just too fast for the Dwarf team!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_runs.PNG
He’s got nothing but green field, and HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… OH NO!!!
Erik Longarm stumbles at the goal line, and the ball comes loose!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_Erik_fumbles_at_goalline.PNG
The Dwarves are coming, but they are just too slow! They fail to capitalize as Erik Longarm jumps back to his feet, scoops up the ball, and HE SCORES! First game for Erik Longarm, and it’s an early score! Landwasters are up in this one 1-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_erik_score.PNG
The Lads were able to get a good injury, and there’s more than one player on the bench for the Landwasters, but the Lads need to find a way to fabricate some offense here at the end of the first half. Bofarn is back, and he retrieves the ball.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_deep_kick_bofarn_recovers.PNG
Bofarn takes the ball towards midfield, but Lejfwine is there to meet him! Lejfwine goes for the big hit, and… Bofarn takes down the Norseman! What a stiff arm by Bofarn!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_lejfwine_goes_for_fumble_but_bofarn_knocks_ him_down.PNG
And it looks like both teams are done for the first half! Iron Lad superfan Dild starts heading towards the sideline, and… he trips! He runs into Gunnar, and the Norse player is down! I cannot believe this! The first half was pretty much over, but superfan Dild gets an injury on Gunnar! Gunnar looks like he’s struggling, and it looks like he is badly hurt. And a rough way to end the half, but the Landerned Landwasters are up 1-0.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_superfan_Dild_with_an_injury_on_Gunnar_badl y_hurt.PNG
As we head into the second half, the Iron Lads have yet to score their first score of the season. They managed to get some big injuries on the Landwasters, so let’s see if they can capitalize here in the second half. For the Landwasters, they have to be thrilled by the performance of Erik Longarm so far! A strong score and some quick recoveries by Longarm have the Landwasters leading, but now it’s time for them to play some defense.
The kick is up, and it is a short one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_second_half_short_kick.PNG
Bofarn rushes over to retrieve the kick, and… he drops it! It looks like the fumbling issues are going to continue for Bofarn, and the Iron Lad fans are not looking too happy about that one.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_bofarn_fumbles_the_ball.PNG
And… what are the Lads doing? They… they’re having superfan Dild pick up the ball! Remember, Dild had a great injury in the first half, and I’m surprised to see them give the ball to Dild instead of Bofarn here in the second half! Hopefully the superfan can get some offense going for this team!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_lads_trust_superfan_Dild_with_the_ball_over _bofarn_now.PNG
Dild’s eyes are upfield, but Godwin comes from behind and gets a strong blindside hit on Dild! The ball comes loose, and Dild hits the field! The ball… lands in the hands of Bofarn! I cannot believe it! It seems that it is Bofarn’s destiny to carry the ball for this team!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_godwin_forces_fumble_on_Dild_but_ball_lands _in_the_hands_of_Bofarn.PNG
And Lejfwine is having none of this! The Norseman rushes in and lands a blow onto Bofarn, and Bofarn is going down while the ball comes out again!
The ball is jumbled around by a few players, but… it goes out of bounds!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_lejfwine_is_having_none_of_it_and_forces_fu mble_that_goes_out_of_bounds.PNG
The ball is tossed towards midfield, and Sten Sterlift is there to recover the ball. He scoops it up, and he has his eyes on a game-sealing score!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_20_Sten_Sterlift_recovers_the_ball.PNG
But Sterlift takes too long! Alglid comes in and knocks out Sten Sterlift with a big hit! The ball comes loose yet again, and the Dwarves are on this one!

Noraks looks to scoop up the ball, and… he drops it! After showing some frustration at Bofarn’s inability to pick up the ball last week, it seems Noraks is now showing some of those same fumbling issues! And Noraks does not look happy with himself. He’s muttering something over there!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_22_Noraks_fumbles_the_loose_ball_and_gets_mad_ at_himself.PNG
Noraks gets blindsided as he mumbles to himself, and Kjetill runs in and scoops up the ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_23_Kjetill_recovers_the_loose_ball.PNG
He easily scoots his way around the Lads, and he has an open lane to the endzone! Is he going to take it? He is!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_24_kjetill_open_for_the_endzone.PNG
Noraks stays on the ground grumbling to himself, but Kjetill is long gone! HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!! It’s a BIG score for the Landwasters, and that is pretty much going to end this one! I cannot believe it! A devastating blow to the Lads!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_25_kjetill_scores.PNG
The Landwasters kick the ball, and Bofarn retrieves it as time expires. That’s going to be it, and the losses pile up for the Iron Lads in this one as they fall to the Landerned Landwasters, 2-0.

MATCH REVIEW:
It was nice to see Vagrin get his first casualty of the season, but Bofarn’s issues continue to plague this team. Giving Dild the ball over Bofarn in the second half was very telling about how this team feels about their leading rusher. On the Landwaster side, Erik Longarm not only survived, but he landed a great score in his first game of the season. If that’s a sign of what’s to come, the Landwasters MUST be excited!

Wiccans get +1 FAME
As the teams take the field, you can hear the thunderous cheers of the fans in the stands! Who are they cheering for? Well it depends on the moment, but I’m hearing loud cheers for BOTH Faba Hellblade and Never Lice. That’s right folks, we have H.E.L.L. taking on the Watchtower Wiccans! H.E.L.L. started the season 2-0, but they lost their first game of the season last week. They will try to bounce back against a Wiccan team that is looking stronger with each passing week. This one is sure to be a great one, so let’s get this one started!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_1(12).PNG
The kick is up, and Never Lice is back to collect the ball. He finds his lane, and he is going to run this one to midfield. We know by now that Never Lice loves a quick score, so let’s see if the Wiccans can respond.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_never_lice_takes_ball_and_he_is_off_to_midfi eld_immediately.PNG
Never Lice passes past the Wiccans, but he also passes his own teammates as well! He is off on his own, and he has no teammates to prevent the Wiccans from getting him. Never Lice being possibly a bit too eager here!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_never_lice_runs_for_a_quick_score.PNG
And he is going to pay for that aggressive running as Lalovi Ragegrip runs in and lands a big blow onto the Werewolf! The ball comes out as Never Lice hits the field, and we have a fumble!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_FUmble_caused_by_lalovi.PNG
With Never Lice running so far ahead of his team, H.E.L.L. is unable to respond fast enough, and Rhiso Rainheart is there to pick up the loose ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_Rhiso_Rainheart_recovers_ball.PNG
H.E.L.L. finally starts to close in, but… Faba lands a great block, and Rainheart is going to take that edge up the sideline completely open!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_rhiso_takes_the_ball_up_the_sideline.PNG
And wow! We always seem to underestimate the speed of Khrem D’ang! Khrem rushes Rhiso from behind, and with a blindside hit, forces a fumble! The ball hits the ground, and it’s a mad scramble to the ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_khrem_comes_in_and_forces_fumble_tries_to_pi ck_up_ball_but_cant.PNG
Lerite comes in and… it slips through his fingers! The league leader in kills may be able to send players to the grave, but he just cannot seem to send the ball into his grasp.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_lerite_comes_in_but_fumbles_the_pickup_as_w ell_hes_a_defense_only_kinda_guy.PNG
The Wiccans are just way too fast here and Megekir runs in to scoop the ball. H.E.L.L. is still trying to get to the ball, but Megekir is gone!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_megekir_recovers_ball_and_takes_off.PNG
There’s only open field left, and HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!!! It’s a score for the Wiccans, and they go up 1-0! The siren goes off, and we are now at halftime. The Wiccans score it late, and they are up 1-0.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_megekir_scores_just_before_halftime.PNG
As we head into the second half, the Wiccans have to feel great about their place in this game. They are up 1-0, but they are also getting the ball to start the second half. They could go up 2-0 early in the second half, and it can pretty much end this game. As the kick is up, let’s see how H.E.L.L. responds.
Faba is back, and she will collect the ball.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_second_half_deep_kick_to_faba.PNG
And the Wiccans are using a different strategy here. Almost the entire Wiccan team storms the line of scrimmage, and they take down both Pablo and Bitza Pizza! They seem set to establish dominance in the center of the field, and now it’s time to see if H.E.L.L. can come up the sides!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_wiccans_swarm_the_line_and_the_pizza_bros_a re_outnumbered.PNG
And… what’s this?! Gager Hellmaul goes a little too hard at Pablo Pizza, and the ref does not like what he sees! Gager has some choice words for the ref, but it is too late! Gager is ejected from this one! Trainers run out to check on Pablo Pizza, but he insists he’s fine.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_gager_fouls_pablo_and_the_ref_ejects.PNG
Faba follows the crowd at the line of scrimmage, and the Wiccans get a great push into H.E.L.L.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_faba_follows_the_foul_to_midfield.PNG
Faba finds her opening, and SHE IS GONE! She blows past Bitza Pizza, and the rest of H.E.L.L. is up the sideline! Faba is free!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_continues_to_find_openings_and_is_deep_into _hell_territory.PNG
She is not stopping, and SHE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!!! Score for Faba Hellblade! A great run by Faba, and the Wiccans seem to have punched their ticket back to the win column as they go up 2-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_faba_with_a_great_open_run_created_by_great _vision.PNG
H.E.L.L. does not look happy, but Never Lice is still back to get this kick. Never Lice is not one to give up, so we’ll see if he can manage a quick score to cut this lead in half!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_20_never_lice_recovers_nice_kick.PNG
And… WHAT A HIT! Bitza Pizza with a HUGE hit at the line of scrimmage, and it seems he’s able to get some payback for the team-up on that previous drive! Megekir is down, and… they are not getting up. Uh-oh. The trainers rush out, and… wow. I cannot believe this one. It seems we have a dead Elf out there, as the trainers have to carry Megekir off the field.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_bitza_kills_megekir.PNG
The Elves are a bit shocked, as they usually deliver the deadly blows, and Never Lice is going to capitalize! Never Lice rushes up the sideline and just look at that speed!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_22_wiccans_cant_close_in_on_never_lice_and_hes _free_for_the_endzone.PNG
Never Lice is closing in on that endzone, and HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!!! Never Lice punches it in, and he cuts the Wiccan lead in half!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_23_never_lice_with_a_trademark_quick_score.PNG
Time is pretty much over here, and Faba is going to make sure that this game comes to a quick end. She rushes this one away from H.E.L.L. and the alarm sounds. This one is over, and the Watchtower Wiccans are back in the win column after winning 2-1!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_24_kick_fails_to_cross_midfield_and_ball_is_gi ven_to_faba.PNG
MATCH REVIEW:
Never Lice ran all over the field in this one, but the Wiccans are just really playing strong as a team. Faba continues to impress with her offensive skills, but it was great to see Megekir get a score. Unfortunately, his celebration was short-lived as he would die shortly after, but the Wiccans are happy to walk out with a win still.

Playoffs at this point would be:
Holhokki Tapio: Week 1 Bye
Watchtower Wiccans: Week 1 Bye
Red Brick Killaz vs H.E.L.L.
Landerneds Landwasters vs The Green Wave
Will the Bye week actually hurt the conference leaders with the other teams getting an extra game of experience? The league commisioner has yet to annouce the layout of the second week of playoffs. Those details could have serious repercussions as to who will make the finals! We want answers!
The Wood Elves have yet to taste defeat yet have tasted plenty of their own blood, particularly by the Red Brick Killers back in week 3. They next face the norse who are still trying to field a full proper team after the dark elves' genocidal attack back in the opening week. The norse somehow escaped further injuries this past week against the orcs. Perhaps the Orc Warlord Big Red planned that so the norse would stand a better chance of hurting the wood elves and thus help the orcs in the playoffs? That could explain the high number of KOs and lack of bloody gore.
The wood elves meet the dark elves in the final week of the regular season, which could a preview of the finals! Wait... we have the Crud Cup for the bottom teams but which Cup are the rest of the teams fighting for? Apparently everyone is so obsessed for the game they don't even care what the Cup is called. What passion! Back to week 7... The elf vs elf game is a wild toss up. The woodsies are slightly better scorers but the darks are vastly better at causing carnage. The darks' beat down by the ogres this past week should help keep Holhokki Tapio with a zero in their loss column. I see the Wood Elves making it all the way to the finals!
The Dark Elves also haven't suffered a defeat but have had to settle with two ties. They are by far the best at dishing out the pain, accumulating 4 kills with three in just one game! At the same time they've suffered more than their share of injuries, primarily in this past week. Will they be able to get through this major speed bump?
Week six the Wiccans face the Rapid Weasels who despite not having a coach or training program, have still managed to win a game and most shockingly have escaped any serious injuries! This should be an easy game for the elves but can they avoid injuries by a team that just smashed in a tough dwarf's hip?
Week seven, as said, are against the Wood Elves. After a soft week 6 for the Wiccans, if the Tapios suffer casualties to the norse then the Wiccans could have quite the edge for the final regular game of the season.
The Orcs have only tasted defeat once so they are a solid second in the Eastern Conference and third across the league. If Wiccans stumble at all the Killaz have their sight on taking the conference lead.
Week six have the Killaz with another slug fest, this time against the winless Iron Lads. Outside of a single drive with Vagrin the Dwarven Deathroller the orcs have the advantage in strength, speed, numbers, and knowing how to score so this game should be another reminder to the dwarves that they should stick to mining.
Week 7 the orcs face the leaderless necromancers. It's a third slugfest in a row for the orcs, but that was what they were born for. The orcs don't have the speed of Never Lice but it should be enough to give the werewolf a proper beatdown. The black-orcs will overwhelm the flesh golems with numbers, Da Wall's superior strength, and better team training. The Blitzers should keep the ghouls and wights in check. In the end after any blood is soaked into the makeshift field, the Killaz will come out on top!
After a devastating week 1 with the slaughter of a full quarter of the team, the norse have somehow found themselves with a couple of wins, albeit each of those teams have losing records. Surprisingly the Landwasters have not suffered any more serious injuries since the dark elf magic.
Week 6 have the Landwasters lining up against the Holhokki Tapio, the league's masters at scoring. Even if the norse can help fertilize some trees with elf blood, the elves should have no problem scoring enough for the win, and might even spill some norse blood to make them pay for cutting down so many trees for shipbuilding.
Week 7 match up the norsemen with the skavens who are coming off their first win with an avalanche of scoring. The norse have the strength advantage, but will it be enough against a fast team who have proven themselves to be physically invulnerable so far? I see the lack of a coach could have those factors cancel out leaving a tie for the last game of the season.
The ogres' 2-2-1 record with a +0 scoring differential has them very middle of the road in the league. They have been able to skill up several players so they may be on the edge of... going slightly above average.
Week 6 have the ogres facing H.E.L.L. If the Green can keep enough of their snotlings upright on the field they just might squeeze out a win here.
The Green Wave's last game have them facing the winless Iron Lads. The dwarves specialize in dealing with nearby snotlings but will it be enough to counter the more extensive training from the Green Wave? This may be the first scoreless game of the season. Hopefuly there will be enough splattered snotlings to make up for it.
What necromancer would spend all that time and cost in rituals making a team then disappearing? Maybe whatever demon was contracted with decided to claim their soul much sooner than expected? Their only wins so far have been against the bottom two teams. As mentioned, I don't see them winning either of their final games, and may they go rest in piece in a cemetery never to bother the living again.
The skaven have proven themselves a puzzle. The least tough team has yet to suffered a severe injury. The second worst record yet have the highest scoring game across the league, the first and only team to score thrice in one game!
Will week six against the dark elves finally unleash the spilling of rat blood? Even if the rats go unskinned there is little chance of coming out on top on the scoreboard.
The skaven final game versus the norse doesn't look good for the rats. The Weasels have speed but the Landwasters are better trained and coached. Last week's win will probably be their only victory, as impressive as it was.
Who can explain the showing by the dwarves this season? Their tradition is slow and steady. I mean, who ever heard of a fast dwarf? Well, maybe when comparing dwarves with other dwarves but when you are on a Blood Bowl field speed is a need! The elves have proven that. Even the orc Killaz know it, they even have two players with Speed as part of their name.
Week six clashes with those same orcs. If Vagrin can't finally make his mark in his brief showing the Lads are going to be in a desperate position to even pull a tie.
Week seven against the Green Wave pits slow and steady against a mix of the same but stronger and the zippy snotlings. Many dwarves specialize against runts of that sort so this is probably the best chance they'll have this season.

Week 5 Overview:
What a week this was! We had passes, gasses, and plenty of bad apples! Also, there must have been a special on Broken Ribs this week, because that was a thing... Anyways, in week where two 0-4 teams matched up, you know there was plenty of excitement!
What happened?
Well check out the recaps...
Iron Lads +2 FAME
Hello fans and welcome to another match of Blood Bowl! We have two teams that are starving for their first win of the season, so you already know that the Iron Lads and the Rabid Weasels are ready to go in this one! The fans are getting loud too as they know someone is walking out of this match 0-5!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_1(5).PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
The kick is up, and the Weasels are back to retrieve this one. Snikch is back, and it looks like he is going to be getting the ball to start this match off!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_Snikch_retrieves_ball.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And… OH! Dolor rushes in on the rats, and he lands a DEVASTATING blow onto Azhar! You could hear the cracks from up here, and Azhar is waving over the training staff. I’m getting word… yep! It’s broken rat ribs. That is a painful injury, but it also means Azhar is out of this one early. Nice shot by Dolor though! The Lads have to feel good about that one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_dolor_breaks_ribs_of_azhar.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And it looks like Snikch has found his opening along the sideline, and he is gone down that sideline like he is on his way to a cheese sale! It does not look like ANYONE is going to be able to catch this rat!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_snikch_takes_ball_to_sideline.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
But… is that a rumble I hear? You already know it is! Here comes Vagrin, and that death machine is roaring its way to Snikch! The ground is shaking, and… it… it stopped suddenly? Oh… it seems Vagrin got a bit too excited and overheated the motor on that thing. The Deathroller is broken down for the moment!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_here_comes_vagrin_to_block_the_path_but_he_s tumbles_and_breaks_down.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And that is just the break Snikch needed! Much to the disappointment of Vagrin and Lad fans everywhere, Snikch makes a clean break for the endzone, and… IT’S A SCORE! Snikch with a quick score on the Lads, and the Weasels are ahead 1-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_score.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well, the Lads are back to receive, but Noraks is already looking bothered. Can you blame him though? Noraks knows its been a rough season, and this one is already off to a rough start. Bofarn manages to retrieve the kick, and the Lads look to try to even the score before the end of the half.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_bofarn_gets_kick.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And what a showing by the Weasels! Bofarn is immediately swarmed by the Weasels, and he has absolutely no running space! Lad fans are already letting the players know how they feel about this performance, and it is not nice!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_bofarn_is_swarmed_by_skaven.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
But… Bofarn slips free?! I can’t believe it! Somehow, Bofarn manages to escape the clutches of the rats, and he is off to midfield! The Dwarves look eager to fend of the Skaven team, and this one might be tricky, but they’ve managed to clog some running lanes for those speedy Skaven!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_bofarn_slips_away_and_gets_midfield.PNG?widt h=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
But… VOSSAK! The Rat Ogre rushes in from the blind side, and he lands a HUGE hit onto Bofarn! Somehow, the Lads kept all their focus on the smaller speedy Skaven, and they missed the massive Vossak! Bofarn goes down hard, and he looks like he has had his bell rung! The ball is loose too! Disaster strikes for the Lads!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_Vossak_is_there_and_Bofarn_is_KOd.PNG?width =1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And to make the disaster more disastrous, the Lads are too slow to respond! It’s Haktar that manages to scoop the ball! He’s running out of time though, and I’m not so sure he has the speed to score from this far out!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_haktar_gets_ball.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Wait! He’s got a teammate! Haktar shows off some great teamwork, and he hands the ball off! Haktar gives the ball to Critar, and THAT is some smart play by Haktar! Critar takes the ball, and he is off for the endzone!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_Haktar_hands_off_and_player_is_off_to_score .PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And that my friends… is a DEVASTATING blow for the Lads! Fans are already starting to file out of the arena on this one, and Noraks is yelling something to his teammates. Folks, the Lads seem to be struggling here. They still have a half to play though! As the Lads try to straighten things out, they find themselves down at the half 2-0.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_number_3_scores.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
As we head into the second half, the Lads continue to be plagued by a lack of speed and an anemic offense. Let’s hope they’ve filled up on some grog to wake themselves up! Either way, the Lads are back to receive this kick, and Bofarn retrieves the ball.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_second_half_bofarn_gets_kick.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And the Dwarves strike early! Vindli swings hard and lands a painful blow onto Kharma! Kharma is twitching a bit, but he just isn’t getting up. Trainers are called onto the field, and… I’m getting it confirmed. Kharma will be okay. He’s just badly hurt. He’ll miss the rest of this game, but he should be ready for the next one.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_vindli_badly_hurts_kharma.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And… WHOA! The trainers haven’t even left the field yet, and Grog just goes for it! He lands a BIG-TIME hit onto Shkezo, and I heard a crack all the way from here! It looks and sounds like an injury we’ve already seen, and that is not a good sign! The trainers scoop up Shkezo on the way to the sideline with Kharma, and… yep. Folks, we’ve got some more broken rat ribs. Rough blow for the Weasels.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_Grog_breaks_ribs_of_Shkezo.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
You know who isn’t bothered by the carnage? Bofarn! Bofarn has plenty of open field, and he rushes his way straight to midfield! He’s… there is no way! One of the league’s leading rushers… he has not yet scored this season… is he?... I THINK HE IS!... HE’S GONNA SCORE!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_with_just_a_few_skaven_left_bofarn_goes_for _endzone_and_only_one_skaven_in_the_way.PNG?width= 1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
BOFARN PUNCHES IT IN! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT! There are about three fans left for the Iron Lads, and they cannot believe it either! It took 9 halves, but the Iron Lads have scored their first score of the season! Roll out the barrels of the good stuff because it is time to celebrate!

And you can see the fans are a bit surprised, but they are still ready to celebrate! What a great moment for them!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_21_lad_fans_celebrate.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well we are pretty much out of time, but you can tell Noraks and the rest of the Lads feel like winners in this one even though they are down 2-1. Time is pretty much up, and Critar is back to receive the kick
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_22_critar_recovers_end_of_game_kick.PNG?width= 1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well it looks like he’s going to just run this one to run out the clock… wait! He’s got a rat downfield! It’s Aegis! Critar sees Aegis open downfield, and he’s going to heave it! The ball goes airborne, and… we’ve got a GREAT PASS folks! It was a perfect launch from Critar, and Aegis has no problem scoring!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_23_perfect_launch_across_the_field.PNG?width=1 920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And Aegis gets his moment to celebrate this score to end the game! Great pass, great reception, great score!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_24_catch_and_score.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And now it seems we still get one last kick. Bofarn gets it.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_25_bofarn_recovers_late_kick_heads_towards_mid field.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And… UDOR GOES DOWN! It seems Udor thought the game was over, and he takes a big tumble and… ouch! I can call this one from here folks. It’s a broken hip if I’ve ever seen one.
And with that blow, this one comes to an end. It was a big moment for the Lads, but the Rabid Weasels walk away with their first win, winning this one 3-1.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_26_Udor_smashed_hip.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
MATCH REVIEW:
The Lads have to be happy about their first score, but the Weasels were just way too fast for this team. The Lads really struggle to seal off the edges, and consistently get run around by fast teams. The Weasels have had great offense all season, and it finally all came together for them!

Halhokki Tapio +1 FAME
They said it couldn’t be done… so we didn’t do it. Instead, we are about to start what is sure to be a great matchup of fast and faster as H.E.L.L. takes on Halhokki Tapio! There had been a bit of confusion around the Wood Elf team name, but I believe it is pronounced Crzydki Apo. Either way, this Elf team is fresh off a surprising draw against the Green Wave, so you know they are ready to get this one started! For H.E.L.L., the lack of management has led to some serious issues as the season has gone on. Hopefully these players know what they’re doing today!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_1(7).PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well the Necromantics are back to receive this kick, and Never Lice is ready to do his old scoop and score play. The kick is up and… Never Lice with a rare fumble! It seems the lack of preparation this week is causing some troubles early for H.E.L.L., as Never Lice struggles to hang on.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_rare_fumble_by_Never_Lice.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well, if we’ve seen anything from Halhokki Tapio, we know that this team is well-run and well-organized in their execution. I wouldn’t be surprised if they… wait a second. Who is that? That’s not a normal player? Ah, it’s the lucky fan of the week, Naelirel. Naelirel just goes for it, and much to the disappointment of Wood Elf fans everywhere, he fumbles the ball! These superfans are really causing some problems, but you have to admire their blind passion.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_superfan_Nae_ignores_the_play_design_by_elve s_and_fumbles_ball_in_front_of_never_lice.PNG?widt h=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well Never Lice is ready to go, and he… fumbles again! What an ugly start here for Never Lice, as he fumbles the ball again! Luckily for Never Lice, he seems to be fumbling the ball in the right direction, so maybe… just maybe… this is his strategy in this one.

Well someone check the ball for tampering because we have yet ANOTHER fumble! This time its Sunthicket who comes up fumbly, and you can hear the groans from the stands. They want blood… or at least a clean pick-up.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_the_ugliness_continues_as_sunthicket_now_fum bles_the_ball.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well Never Lice knows that the third time is charm, so he’s going to… oh you have got to be kidding me! Never Lice is tripped up, and he stumbles before he can reach the ball! On the positive, he didn’t fumble it this time!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_never_lice_goes_for_ball_but_is_tripped_up.P NG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well Nightthorn has decided she has seen enough, and she is going to just step in and scoop up the ball. It is just amazing how easy she made that look! Who knew how easy it could be to pick up a ball?!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_finally_nightthorn_picks_up_ball_and_takes_i t_up_the_sideline.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well Nightthorn steps over a struggling Never Lice, and she manages to run this one in for an easy score! Some serious fumbling issues for both teams early, but Nightthorn manages to emerge with the ball and put Halhokki Tapio up 1-0.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_score_by_nightthorn.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well the kick is up, and it’s Never Lice going for it… WOWOWOWOWOW! A THIRD fumble by Never Lice! I’m not sure if rabies are kicking in, but I know that rabies is something that needs to be taken more serious.
Myth: 3 people die from rabies each year.
Fact: 4 people die from rabies each year.
Let’s hope Never Lice isn’t one of them, but this is a rough game for the Werewolf!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_never_lice_really_struggling_with_his_third_ fumble.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well, it took four tries, but Never Lice does finally manage to scoop up the ball. He throws up his hands in celebration in a surprising gesture!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_for_the_first_time_in_four_tries_this_game_ never_lice_finally_gets_ball.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Never Lice takes the ball into Halhokki Tapio territory, and he is just showing off that blazing speed he has! They don’t call him Never Lice for nothing! The master of the quick score, Never Lice… takes a… well that wasn’t much of a hit, but he does manage to go down! Never Lice struggling all over on offense today, as he takes a hit and fumbles here. H.E.L.L. may want to consider bringing one of those superfans at this point…
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_never_lice_just_fumbles_again_going_down_ea sily.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well Moonglade is going to get the ball, and Moonglade is ready to show this Necromantic team how it is done!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_moonglade_recovers_ball.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Moonglade with a perfect toss! Look at that ball soar! It flies through the air with the greatest of ease, and… it falls incomplete. There are perfect passes, and then there is that pass.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_moonglade_with_a_perfect_toss_but_it_falls_ incomplete_and_thats_the_half.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well Nightthorn recovers the ball, and after the earlier score, this is clearly Nightthorn’s game. Fans are getting loud! Well… at least the Halhokki Tapio fans are! I’m not sure if H.E.L.L.’s fans are actually aware of what’s going on. Someone may want to check their pulse.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_nightthorn_recovers_kick.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well Nightthorn runs the ball upfield, and look at that! Clifbranch waiting patiently in the PERFECT spot for an easy pass and score. Nightthorn pulls up, and the ball goes airborne! It’s a perfect toss by Nightthorn, and… Clifbranch CAN’T HANG ON! Clifbranch, the great catcher of the team, struggles to pull that one in, and that is definitely one that he would like to have back! In the replay, you can see that he lost just enough focus on that one.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_nightthorn_makes_perfect_pass_to_clifbranch _but_he_cant_hang_on_and_it_falls_to_the_ground.PN G?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well Balts runs in for Halhokki Tapio, and… it’s yet ANOTHER fumble for H.E.L.L. At this point, you have to wonder if the lack of focus is coming from a lack of coaching or perhaps teamwide rabies. Whatever it is, H.E.L.L. is running out of time!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_balts_goes_for_the_pickup_but_fumbles_it.PN G?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well Darktrunk scoops up the ball! Is he a superfan? He’s not? He’s an actual player? Oh… well okay! …are you sure?
Well Darktrunk scoops up the ball! Is he a superfan? He’s not? He’s an actual player? Oh… well okay! …are you sure?
Okay, well it seems that Darktrunk now has the ball, and he is going to… he’s heading the wrong way! He turns away from the endzone! What is he doing? Wait… he pulls up… he’s… he’s throwing the ball to Clifbranch! It soars just over the heads of H.E.L.L. and it’s a PERFECT pass to Clifbranch! Clifbranch grabs the ball tightly this time, and he is not letting this one slip away!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_and_a_perfect_launch_to_clifbranch_and_this _time_he_catches_it_and_runs_it_for_a_score.PNG?wi dth=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Clifbranch makes quick work of the successful pass, and he is GONE! It’s a score for Clifbranch, and Halhokki Tapio goes up 2-0 in this one with time just about up! H.E.L.L. is probably happy to get this one over with, as Halhokki Tapio walks off with another win.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_20_clifbranch_scores.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
MATCH REVIEW:
Fumbles, fumbles, and more fumbles! It was a surprisingly sloppy game from Never Lice, and the rest of the team just struggled to get any grip on the ball. It's no surprise to see H.E.L.L. lose after a performance like that. Halhokki Tapio should be thrilled to see that passing game get going a little bit though. Only managing to complete 1 out of 3 passes definitely leaves room for improvement, but you have to admire the effort!

Green Wave +1 FAME
You know, it is possible that I ate too much gruel last… what? We’re on the air?
…
Welcome fans of Blood Bowl to what is sure to be a GREAT matchup between the Watchtower Wiccans and the Green Wave! Karak Bone-Chewer and the rest of the Green Wave pulled off the impossible last week and managed to take the previously streaking Halhokki Tapio to a draw! This week, they face another blazing fast challenge in the Watchtower Wiccans as Faba Hellblade and the rest of the Dark Elves look to assert some dominance this week! The fans are already getting loud in this one, so let’s jump down into the field and get this action started!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_1(6).PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
The crowd goes quiet momentarily as the kick is up and Zeet is back to retrieve this one for the Ogres. He scoops up the ball with no problem.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_zeet_recovers_deep_kick.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And it looks like the Wiccans are wasting no time in showing their strategy! Faba blitzes into the heart of the Ogre team, and she lands a BIG-TIME shot onto Rock the Stone! It looks like the Wiccans are turning their focus to the Snotlings here early, and now it’s time for the Wave to adjust if they want to have a team left standing by the end of this one! Let’s not forget, the Wiccans are leading the league in casualties and deaths this season!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_faba_blitzes_in_and_KOs_rock.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And this is not a good start for the Ogres. Thrash comes in to clear up some running lanes, but he stumbles over his own green feet, and he goes down hard! He’s a bit slow to get up, and it looks like he may have knocked himself out for the moment. Trainers are going to need to check on him on the sideline. He’s questionable to return!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_thrash_runs_to_block_but_trips_and_KOs.PNG?w idth=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
With a pair of Snotlings down early, eyes are on Zeet as he shows off some of that fancy footwork and weaves his way around the Wiccans. He takes the ball to midfield, and in case you don’t already know, Zeet is one of the league leaders in rushing, so this is one Snotling that knows how to get some offense going!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_zeet_slips_around_ogres_to_midfield.PNG?widt h=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
But Vele Silentmoor comes from Zeet’s blindspot, and Vele lands a HUGE hit onto Zeet! The Snotling goes down, and he is struggling to get up! They say that the Snotlings have bad eyesight, and it seems Vele was able to take advantage of that with a big hit here. Trainers are coming out, and it seems Zeet will be okay. He’s definitely badly hurt, but he should be okay for next game. Ogre fans cheer the carnage here. I don’t think they realize Zeet is on their team…
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_zeet_badly_hurt_and_fumbles_by_number_6.PNG? width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
The fans are all excited by the injury, there is cheering everywhere, but the Wiccans refuse to celebrate the injury. No, this team is looking to take advantage of a team down three Snotlings! Gager Hellmaul rushes to the ball and scoops it up quickly!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_gager_picks_up_fumble.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
The Snotlings may be struggling to stay upright, but the Ogres aren’t! Here comes Urt and he’s going to slam Gager from behind and force the ball out the hard way! That is a great hit by Urt, and the Ogres are still in this one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_urt_comes_in_from_behind_and_forces_fumble.P NG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
These Elves are resilient though if nothing else! Ninnon Deathbreaker now runs in, and it seems it is now his turn with the ball! He scoops it up, and he’s got his eyes on the goal!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_ninnon_deathbreaker_picks_up_loose_ball.PNG ?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
It’s turning into chaos out here though! Ganondorf Dragmire just OBLITERATES Ninnon! The Elf goes down, and his dark magical life force seems to have been snuffed out. Trainers are going out to check on him… oof! Sometimes that is the price you pay for playing folks. Trainers are yelling out that Ninnon has died. Fans are loving this carnage, but that is a devastating blow to a team used to dealing out devastating blows!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_ninnon_hit_hard_immediately_by_number_5_Ogr e_and_dies.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
AND LOOK AT THE DETERMINATION OF THE WICCANS! Megekir now picks up the ball, and it looks like it is now HIS turn to get some yards in. The Wiccans are just giving everyone a chance to shine here today!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_megekir_picks_up_loose_ball_now.PNG?width=1 920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Much like the previous attempts, the Ogres are all over this one, and Megekir gets hit before he has a chance to go anywhere! The ball comes loose yet again, and it is a bit of a frenzy for the ball! The ball is bouncing around the crowd, and… it’s Gog that comes up with the ball! I don’t think anyone saw this one coming! Gog, the first Ogre to get the ball in his hands, he looks pretty excited!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_megekir_KOd_and_ball_falls_into_hand_of_num ber_2_Ogre.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Perhaps a bit too excited, as he takes a hit and fumbles the ball immediately. There’s a few bounces from the ball, but the alarm sounds and it seems the half has come to a close! It’s quite the match so far, and we head into halftime tied up at 0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_Gog_retrieves_ball_but_fumbles_with_a_hit.P NG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well the kick is about to go up, and it seems that we have a sponsor for this match? Is that… is that accurate? Oh, that was a typo. My mistake…
Anyways, the kick is up and it looks like Faba will be getting the ball for the Wiccans to start out this second half.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_second_half_faba_gets_kick.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
WOWOWOWOWOW! I don’t know how I just said that, but I also don’t know how Karak did that! Usually Lerite Bloodstriker is killing people with those legendary blood-stained claws (Lerite fan gloves are currently available for purchase in the gift shop), but today it is Karak that deals the damage as Lerite goes down hard and that just looks painful! The trainers materialize before Lerite using some mysterious form of magic, but… good. I’m being told that Lerite is only badly hurt, not lethally hurt.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_Lerite_badly_hurt_by_Karak.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And Faba doesn’t get too far before she attracts some of the Ogres. Looks like two find their way in front of Faba, and with Lerite down, Faba looks like she may be joining Lerite soon!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_pair_of_ogres_block_path.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
I… I don’t even know how to explain this one. Just when you though the Ogres had a gameplan, they deliver some rough rough rough execution. Some poor tackling by the Ogres leads to a great run by Faba, and she takes off for the endzone! Fans are not cheering so loudly anymore for the Green Wave.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_embarrassing_tackle_job_by_ogres_as_faba_ru ns_past.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And speak of embarrassment! Faba trips over her own feet at the goal line, and the ball loose! I always thought that high heels were an odd choice for Blood Bowl, and it seems that that is indeed the case. Wait… Faba is struggling to get up. She… she actually looks like she’s in some real pain here. Green Wave fans are cheering, but I’m not so sure they know what’s going on. Trainers materialize before Faba, and they look concerned. It… it looks like Faba has… a damaged back?! Yikes! That makes my back all tingly, so I can only imagine what she’s feeling. That is a DEVASTATING blow to the Wiccans!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_faba_fumbles_at_goal_line_and_damages_her_b ack.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
I think the Ogres have a shot here, and… never mind.
Telketh Cindercaller can beat any Ogre in a foot race and proves it here as he scoops up the ball at the goal line and lunges in for the score! They may be down some players, but they are up a score as the Wiccans take the lead over the Wave 1-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_20_no_surprise_elves_win_this_race_and_number_ 3_scores.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well the kick is up, and there is no Zeet out there. You have to be worried about this Ogre offense without their star Snotling out there. It seems Egad is getting his number called, and he is going to grab that ball and take it to midfield.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_22_meanwhile_egad_takes_ball_towards_midfield. PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And… ouchie! Megekir takes a hit and not a good hit! He goes down hard, and he immediately starts grabbing his head. I think I can hear him from here… “What am I?” Now that is an obvious question. You are a Blood Bowl player with a serious concussion! The trainers materialize before Megekir, and he is dematerialized off the field.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_21_megekir_gets_serious_concussion.PNG?width=1 920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And… is this serious? Ganondorf just showing NO sympathy as I hear that all-too-melodic sound of ribs breaking. Gager Hellmaul goes down, and there is confusion among the trainers. I don’t think they realize that they had any healthy players left out there. Well, excuse me. I’m gonna need to go down there and help Gager off the field because the trainers do not realize they had more players…
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_23_number_5_ogre_smashes_ribs_of_gager.PNG?wid th=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
***

Okay! We are back, and just in time! Finally the Wiccans are able to exact some deliciously sweet revenge, and Egad goes down HARD! He is taken down by Rhiso, and his arm does not look like it is supposed to be there! Trainers rush toward the goal line to get Egad’s arm then make their way to Egad at midfield. I may not be a trainer, but I would guess that Egad’s arm is broken.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_24_rhiso_breaks_arm_of_egad_and_forces_fumble_ but_ball_lands_in_hands_of.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Seldom-used Thrash looks to make an impact here, and he grabs the ball. Look at he little guy go! He rushes past midfield, and I gotta say, he did take it further than Egad.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_25_thrash_runs_past_midfield.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Unfortunately, he is not going to take the ball much further than that. Vele comes in and of course catches up to Thrash. What do you think happens next? Well, the Wiccans are known for laying out opponents, and Thrash hits the field. He does insist that he is okay, but I think his ego m be bruised Hopefully he doesn’t miss any games with that one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_26_vele_forces_fumble.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Telketh recovers the loose ball for the Wiccans, but Karak is not about to lose 2-0! Nope! He forces the fumble and only loses 1-0!

Match Review:
Losing Zeet Quarterpounder early left the Green Wave a bit toothless on offense. The Ogres really showed up in this one, but they just couldn’t keep those Wiccans down. Speaking of the Wiccans, they should definitely celebrate this hard-earned win, but they have to be at least a little concerned about the big blows they took this week. The death of Ninnon and the Damaged back of Faba are really big time blows to this team. Let’s see how they respond!

You know… in all my life, I never thought I would commentate a boxing match… and I never have. No, this is Blood Bowl, and we have a thrilling match ahead of us here!
The Landerned Landwasters have been clawing their way back to respectability after a bad time in week 1. They face a real test in this one though, as the Red Brick Killaz are no easy dub. These Orcs know how to bring the pain, so you have to be hoping that the Norse players brought their extra firm loincloths today.
And as the teams take to the field, who… is that? That is the hairiest Norseman I have ever seen! It’s… Wow, I should be so embarrassed. It’s Wilhelm Chaney! After bringing in Boomer Eziasson last week, these Landwasters are wasting no expense! They are really bringing out the big guns today!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_1_introduce_wilhelm.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well the kick is up, and Speed Launcha is back to get it. Launcha has had a GREAT season so far, and it is worth noting that when Speed Launcha gets a score, this team wins… every time. Yeah, only the best of stats with this commentary.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_Speed_Launcha_takes_ball_to_sideline.PNG?wid th=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well Speed Launcha gets the ball up that sideline, and you just have to admire that form when he runs! He may not be the fastest player in the league, but wow if he does not have great form when he runs. It seems that he has attracted some unwanted attention though with that form, as Godwin Badlos wants none of that! He flies through the air for about a thousand feet and lands a big… sorry BIG… dropkick onto Speed Launcha! You know that was some serious impact, as Speed Launcha is kicked back about five feet!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_godwin_nails_speed_launcha_and_forces_fumble .PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well Godwin throws his hands up in celebration, but the celebration is cut short as he is taken down by the Orcs. And… it’s Ragin Red who picks up the ball! There is no cheering from the fans for Ragin Red, but they do seem interested in more dropkicks and bloodshed.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_godwin_is_taken_down_and_Ragin_Red_rushes_in _to_retrieve_ball.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well the Landwasters definitely packed their heavy loincloths today as Sten Sterlift just lands an impressive hit onto Ragin Red! And you just have to be impressed with the fancy schmancy maneuvering by Sten here. He not only forces the fumble with a beautiful hit, but he manages to grab the loose ball himself too! Some players just get all the talent folks!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_sten_sterlift_hits_ragin_hard_and_forces_fum ble_retrieving_the_loose_fumble.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
For all that talent, Sten just loses track of the sideline, and he is teetering on the edge before Slammer SLAMS him out of bounds with the ball! And… OH NO! The Landwaster fans are too excited and mob Sten! He takes a few blows from his fans, and… yep. He looks knocked out!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_sten_hit_hard_out_of_bounds_with_ball_and_is _KOd_by_number_4_Orc.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
As Sten is left to lay on the sideline, the ball is tossed in… and that has to be the most controversial in-bounds toss we’ve seen yet! I’m talking I think someone paid the toss-in-bounds guy kind of controversy. That ball was near midfield, and they just toss it WAY too close to the endzone for the Killaz. The Landwasters cannot be too happy about that one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_controversial_toss_in_and_ball_is_placed_on_ the_other_side_of_the_field_by_Land_goal_line.PNG? width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well there is no time for the Landwasters to challenge that one as Speeder grabs the ball and holds it out for the score! There’s plenty of boos raining down from the same Landwaster fans that just knocked out their own player, but I think I agree with them here. In the end it doesn’t matter though, and the Killaz go up 1-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_controversial_score_by_speeder.PNG?width=19 20&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well the kick goes up, and it looks like Erik Longarm is going to have to put together a bit of heroics for his team! After a great showing last week, I’m surprised the Killaz have let him live this long!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_erik_recovers_kick_and_heads_straight_to_mi dfield.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And instead of targeting Erik, the Killaz turn their attention to Godwin! Looks like they did not like that million mile dropkick from earlier, and he is going to pay for it with a shot to the body. Godwin goes down, and the trainers run to check on him. He’s giving me a thumbs up, so that is a good sign. Trainers are telling me he’s badly hurt, but he should be okay… that is also a good sign.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_godwin_badly_hurts_speeder.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well the Killaz loved beating up Godwin, but Erik is happy to take the open field in front of him. He’s gonna make a rush for the endzone, and he has Manfred WIDE OPEN near the goal line! Erik pulls his arm back, and… is he going for it? Erik Longarm is going for a pass! Erik throws a BEAUTIFUL pass to Manfred, and… it looks like Manfred needs to invest in some better gloves as the ball slips through his fingers!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_erik_rushes_towards_endzone_and_attempts_pa ss_but_misses_the_mark.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well it seems Erik Longarm has learned a valuable lesson, and he looks like he is going to take a play out of the Speed Launcha playbook and run this one in himself! He scoops it up, offers a stern look to Manfred, adjusts his helmet, and high steps it in for the score! Erik with some impressive heroics here, and the Landwasters have tied us up at 1!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_after_manfred_fails_to_catch_pass_Erik_just _rushes_and_recovers_the_ball_and_runs_it_in_himse lf.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well that was quite the controversial first half, but we are tied up at 1. I thought I saw some Landwaster fans take a ref behind the bleachers, but I have not seen that ref since, so I cannot confirm that they took him. Either way, the second half is going to start! Erik Longarm is back to receive this one, and he is going to get the ball deep in his territory.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_second_half_erik_recovers_the_deep_kick.PNG ?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Longarm takes the ball to midfield, but these Orcs just push their way around the Norse players and manage to close in on the Norse.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_killaz_dont_quit_though_so_they_close_in_on _erik_at_midfield.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Having fully surrounded Longarm, the Killaz draw straws to determine who gets to land the big blow onto the Norse ballcarrier. Its Griner who gets lady luck on his side, and he lands a big green fist into the side of Longarm! Erik looks a bit stunned, but I think he’ll be fine! It’s nothing a little Windex can’t fix!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_erik_stunned_by_grinder_and_fumbles.PNG?wid th=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well the Orcs are all over this one, and Bullrush decides to just scoop up the ball! He’s got plenty of space to work with, as only a stunned Erik Longarm is in stopping distance!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_bullrush_picks_up_fumble_and_heads_towards_ goalline.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And what a dramatic score by Bullrush! He… he… okay, there really is no way to hype that one up, but it puts the Killaz up 2-1 with time running out quickly! The Landwasters will be getting the ball back, but there isn’t much time left!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_20_bullrush_score.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And that is not the start the Landwasters were hoping for. A fumbled ball by Erik Longarm takes some precious time off the clock! The Landwasters are getting into desperation mode here! At least, more desperate than they were before he fumbled that ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_21_erik_fumbles_the_kick_after_the_stun_he_too k_earlier.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well Erik recovers quickly enough, and he sees he’s got a man downfield! Time is running out, Erik definitely does NOT have enough time to run this one in, and he’s gonna throw it! The ball goes up, and it’s a HAIL MARY!
And… OH NO! LOOK OUT! The ball is coming this way!
…
…
Sorry for that, I just wanted to avoid getting hit by that pass, as it was WAY off the mark!
The ball has disappeared on the sidelines, and it seems this one comes to a close. It was quite the match, but the Killaz are going to walk away victorious in this one 2-1!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_23_Erik_tosses_a_hail_mary.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
MATCH REVIEW:
This match was actually VERY close, and if it wasn’t for that controversial in-bound toss, this one could have ended in a draw! Erik Longarm looks like the real deal for the Landwasters, so they should be thrilled! The Killaz meanwhile put together what may be their most impressive complete performance in this one. There may not have been many casualties, but multiple players were involved and performed well here!

Week 6 Recap:
It was a Blood Bowl extravaganza!
There were incredible passes, some deadly deaths, and incredible kicks! Also, if anyone happens to have any extra necks laying around... we could use some after the countless broken necks this week. We all know you're curious to know about this wee, so take a look at the recaps below...
Wiccans get +1 FAME
And just like that, this one is OVER!
Wait… it hasn’t even started yet? Well, with how fast these teams are, I’m surprised! We have the Rabid Weasels taking on the Watchtower Wiccans in a match so fast, you may want to run this one at half speed! The Weasels have been leaderless all season, but that offense has still managed to be one of the league’s best. On the other side, the Wiccans have picked up a new player, and she already looks like she could be a big time signing for them. Faba has a new friend, and her name is Thelni Warbleeder. Let’s jump into this one before it finishes!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_1(9).PNG
Well the kick is up, and Faba is going to retrieve the ball for the Wiccans. Looks like someone is telling her where to go, and she takes it up the sideline.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_Faba_takes_kick_and_heads_up_sideline.PNG
And Vossak wastes no time getting this one started! The Rat Ogre sends Telketh out of bounds with a GREAT hit, and he waves over some fans! The fans get loud, as some of their comrades begin to kick the Dark Elf into the ground. There is nothing I enjoy watching more than fans getting in some cheap shots on their favorite players. That’s really what Blood Bowl is about, isn’t it? A true fan experience!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_vossak_sends_telketh_out_of_bounds_and_fans_ do_their_work.PNG
Well Vossak does not look like he is done! The big rat turns to Faba, and he goes into a frenzy for that ball! Vossak lands a massive paw onto Faba, and the Elf goes down! Faba hits the field, and the ball joins her! It’s… A FUUMMMMMMBLE! And this one is well in Wiccan territory still!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_Vossak_forces_a_fumble_on_Faba_with_a_frenzi fied_blow.PNG
Well Haktar wastes no time, and he shows off some of that blistering speed! Someone check his feet for burns because he blazes across the field, and he scoops up that ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_haktar_recovers_ball_and_scores_quick.PNG
And Haktar sprints for the endzone, and… he finds it! What a crushing blow early for the Wiccans, as Haktar punches the ball in and takes the Weasels up 1-0 early in this one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_haktar_scores.PNG
Well the kick is back, and Faba is going to recover this one again. Hopefully the Wiccans have a plan for this one, as I am sure they don’t want a repeat of the last drive! At least, I don’t think want a repeat.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_faba_recovers_the_ball_quickly_again.PNG
And Wiccan fans everywhere breathe a sigh of relief, as Lalovi assures everyone that this drive will not look the same as he lands a BIG blow onto Fujin! The rat goes down, and trainers look like they were expecting this as they rush out onto the field. Fujin looks badly hurt, and I think his day is over.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_fujin_badly_hurt_by_lalovi.PNG
Well the Wiccans are really looking to punish these rats for that early score as Ragak tries to sneak some dirty hits on a fallen rat. He’s already down Ragak! Don’t kick a rat when he’s down! Well the ref did not like what he saw, and although the fans are cheering, the ref is sending Ragak to the bench. Ragak is ejected!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_Ragak_fouls_and_ejected.PNG
Well the Wiccans are looking much stronger now! Faba jaunts up the field, and she is going to… take a BIG HIT! Faba is getting absolutely BATTERED in this one, as she goes down hard and struggles to get back to her feet! She steps off the field, and I think she was knocked out with that hit. The ball is loose though, so FUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMBBBLLLEE!!!! No...wait. It lands in a Weasel's hands!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_faba_hit_hard_fumbles_and_is_KOed.PNG
Well that ball falls loose again, and Varanir manages to scoop up the ball for the the Wiccans. He sees new player Thelni wide open down the field! He launches the ball, and… what a perfect pass! You can frame that one! Thelni can’t hang on though, and she drops the pass! What a disappointment!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_Varanir_with_a_PERFECT_pass_but_new_player_ Thelni_is_not_ready_and_fumbles_the_pass.PNG
Well Masslik is there to scoop up the ball, and it seems we are living a strange groundhog day scenario…
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_Masslick_recovers_the_ball.PNG
But Telketh says NO! Telketh blitzes the rat, and the ball comes loose!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_telketh_forces_fumble.PNG
The rats are just all over the ball though, as Weasel superfan Snabtzh rushes to the ball! He… trips… he… injures himself… the first half comes to an end, and trainers assure me the superfan is only badly hurt. Sounds like a memorable game for that superfan! Either way, we head into the half with the Rabid Weasels up in this one, 1-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_superfan_Snab_trips_and_hurts_himself.PNG
Going into the second half, the Wiccans NEED to figure out some sort of offensive adjustment to get past these Weasels! It was a rough half, but as we head into the second half, we get a fresh start, and the Weasels get the ball. Snikch is back to get this kick, and he fumbles the scoop! The ball is still loose, and the Wiccans are closing in quick!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_second_half_Snikch_fumbles_the_kickoff.PNG
Thelni Warbleeder… welcome to the league! She rushes in and scoops up the ball right in front of Snikch! Wow! Way to make your presence felt in this league! Thelni is just absolutely fearless!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_new_player_Thelni_rushes_in_and_scoops_up_t he_ball_in_the_face_of_the_Skaven.PNG
Thelni races past the Skaven, and she has no problem breaking free! The rats look just confuzzled by the new Wiccan player, and I think the fans are too! Thelni must have pulled off some strange dark magic, because she is free to the endzone!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_thelni_races_past_skaven_to_score.PNG
And just like that, we have a GREAT score by Thelni Warbleeder! It was a much-needed score too, as it ties the game at one a piece!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_thelni_scores.PNG
Well the kick is up, and it’s time to see what kind of adjustments the Weasels make. Snikch recovers the ball, and he is going to look for his opening along the sideline.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_snikch_recovers_kick_and_races_straight_to_ sideline.PNG
And… WHO ELSE BUT THELNI! The new Wiccan player is just showing off at this point… right? She just closes the gap entirely, and she is in the face of Snikch! Sounds like she has something to say to him too… and I don’t think it’s very nice!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_20_Thelni_showing_up_big_in_second_half_closin g_in_on_SNikch_immediately.PNG
Well Snikch does not seem to want to stick around for this conversation, as he takes off down the sideline! He’s looking to put the Weasels ahead, and he… is PLASTERED by Faba! Faba Hellblade is still in this match, and she refuses to let Thelni take all the spotlight, landing a big hit onto Snikch and forcing the fumble!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_21_Snikch_breaks_into_Wiccan_territory_and_Fab a_runs_him_down_going_into_a_frenzy_and_forcing_a_ fumble.PNG
Thelni manages to race in to scoop up the ball though! It seems that Thelni and Faba are going to be fighting over that spotlight, hopefully for a long time, because Thelni has the ball, and she is going to take off for the endzone!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_22_Thelni_races_in_and_scoops_up_ball.PNG
AND HERE COMES THE CONVOY! The Wiccans set up a GREAT cage around Thelni, and the Weasels just don’t have any way to break into that! Let’s not forget that these Wiccans have killed and damaged more than their fair share of opponents. Looks like it might be a good call to keep their distance for the Weasels!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_23_Thelni_races_up_field_and_heres_the_convoy. PNG
And… to the surprise of no one…
“I DID NOT EXPECT THAT!”
…except that one fan, Thelni is going to run the ball in for a SCORE! She has her second score of the game, and what a great debut game for Thelni Warbleeder this has been! The Wiccans have to be excited about this one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_24_Thelni_with_the_score.PNG
Well the match is pretty much over, but the kick is still going up. Snikch recovers it, and he’s going to rush for midfield.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_25_snikch_recovers_kick.PNG
It’s always great to see a player play hard until the end of the match, but unfortunately for Snikch… wait. Wait. WAit. WAIt. WAIT! WAAAIIIITTTT!
Haktar is wide open down the field, and Snakch is going to launch a hail mary across the field! It’s up! It’s… COMPLETED! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT! HAKTAR CATCHES THE LONG BOMB AND HE’S GOING TO SCORE! NO WAY! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT! HAKTAR SCORES AND TIES IT UP AT TWO! A HUGE 26 YARD PRAYER RESULTS IN A MIRACLE SCORE TO TIE THIS ONE UP, 2-2!!!!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_26_haktar_catches_a_HAIL_MARY_and_scores.PNG
MATCH REVIEW:
It took a miracle finish for the Weasels to get the tie here, and they managed to pull it off somehow. The Wiccans were clearly the better team today, but a couple of fluky plays made this one look a lot closer than it really was. That being said, Vossak did have a pretty impressive opening drive. Unfortunately, he did disappear after that. For the Wiccans, Thelni Warbleeder looks like the real deal. With two Witches, they really are looking scary for the playoffs.

H.E.L.L. gets +1 FAME
Will you look at that. That is one ugly fan on the front row over there… oh, I’m on?
…
Welcome fans of Blood Bowl! I’m here LIVE with another riveting round of ridiculous revelry! You heard me right; we have an incredible matchup between the Green Wave and H.E.L.L.! The Necromantic team has been struggling after a scorching hot start and have fallen to 2-3, while the Green Wave have surprised and outperformed all projections this season thanks to a lucky schedule! They say it’s better to be lucky than good, and we will see if the luck continues for the Ogre team!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_0_intro.PNG
Well the kick is up, and it is a beautiful kick! That ball is going to land in the endzone for the Green Wave, and it is going to be a LONG drive for the Ogre team. I can hear Zeet Quarterpounder groan from here! He’s going after the ball, but his little legs just can’t get him there fast enough!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_1_perfect_kick.PNG
And… I guess it’s going to start like that! Durd just absolutely OBLITERATES Balts the Sturdy, and he has fallen… and he can’t get up! Trainers are out there, and… oh that’s too bad! He is only badly hurt. No long term injury there! Fans are a bit disappointed in that hit. I think they expected for fight from the Ogres!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_Number_4_is_badly_hurt_by_durd.PNG
Well Zeet finally manages to scurry his way to the ball, and… he manages to at least get the ball out of the endzone. I believe there is a stat somewhere… if you move the ball upfield, you have a better chance of scoring. Fun little stat, but what isn’t fun is that poor showing from the Ogres here early! Looks like some braindead moments from the Ogres… or they are just thinking very hard. Hard to tell with an Ogre sometimes.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_zeet_gets_kick_but_already_ogres_are_looking _dumb.PNG
At this point, it’s known that Zeet is as impressive on his feet as a ballerina, but don’t tell him that! He manages to dance his way across the field, and he’s going to find his way into H.E.L.L! As he weaves his way around the field like an artist, the Ogres… well they aren’t really doing much of anything here. It looks like Ogres make great roadblocks, but sometimes they just don’t make great Blood Bowl players. Luckily, Zeet is a pro with the ball in his hands, and the rest of the Snotlings are quite good at getting in the way!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_zeet_runs_it_up_and_the_ogres_are_just_boneh eaded.PNG
Well Zeet finds himself some daylight along the sideline, and he is… GONE! What a great run by Zeet, as he goes coast to coast on this one, dances around the H.E.L.L. players, and he is going to put the Green Wave up 1-0 here in the first half!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_zeet_scores.PNG
Well Never Lice is back, and it shouldn’t surprise anyone that he is planning on scoring here in the first half. After all, if there is one thing that Werewolf is good at… it’s scoring. I’m sure he has some other skills too. Probably not.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_never_lice_to_midfield.PNG
Saphed is rushing into Ogre territory, and… well you know this had to happen at some point. Saphed runs at Mushroom and just bowls over the scrawny Snotling… and Mushroom is going to go down hard! Trainers are out there, but… it doesn’t look good fans. The Green Wave fans are… cheering? The Ogres are cheering too? I’m… I’m a bit confused here folks, but it seems the Ogres are cheering the death of their own teammate here. Just when I thought I had seen it all, I see something that I probably have already seen and forgotten about! Trainers confirm it. Mushroom is dead.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_Saphed_kills_mushroom.PNG
Well Never Lice never seems to care about these sort of things, and his long snout is pointed to the endzone! He… is tripped up! Never Lice loses the ball, and it’s a FUMBLE as the first half comes to an end! The Green Wave heads into their locker room ahead in this one, 1-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_never_lice_tripped_up_and_fumbles.PNG
Well there is only a half left in this one, and I can’t imagine anyone saw this match going this way! The Ogres are up 1-0, but really it feels like Zeet is up 1-0 after that impressive run! H.E.L.L. is getting the ball to start the second half, and if Never Lice has anything to say about it, the score won’t stay that way for long. I know he doesn’t say much, but if he could… that’s exactly what he would say!
Well the kick is back, and Never Lice has it.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_second_half_never_lice_recovers_ball.PNG
Never Lice starts his famous sprint for the endzone, and… URT! What a hit by Urt, and he is going to just ABSOLUTELY PUMMEL Never Lice! Never Lice looks like he’ll be fine, but the ball is not! That ball comes loose, and it is a FUMBLE in H.E.L.L.!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_Urt_pummels_never_lice_and_ball_goes_loose. PNG
And I cannot believe this one! Zeet comes from absolutely NOWHERE, and he scoops up the loose ball! Great awareness by the Snotling here!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_zeet_rushes_to_scoop_ball.PNG
And just listen to that crowd roar! They are just loving this offensive performance by… wait what? Is that… it’s a Snotling lying on the field! Fur lands a big hit onto Blotty Morel, and… the Snotling looks dead! These fans are going nuts, and those Green Wave fans are loving this one! I see a few fist pumps from the Ogres as well, and here come the trainers. They poke Blotty Morel with a stick, and… yep. He’s dead folks. That’s another dead Snotling in this one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_blotty_morel_killed_by_fur.PNG
Well Zeet wastes no time here! This Snotling continues his artful dance across the field and around opponents. Those little green feet have plenty of rhythm, and he is open for the endzone! I cannot believe it!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_look_at_that_great_footwork_by_zeet_as_he_z ooms_past_hell.PNG
And Zeet punches the ball in for his second score of the game! The Green Wave fans are cheering, but it definitely is not as loud as it was when those Snotlings died. Priorities!
Either way, the Green Wave goes up a surprising 2-0 late in this one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_zeet_scores.PNG
Well Never Lice take the late-game kick, and he is off! They say third time is the charm, and I feel obligated to believe it. Never Lice sprints up the sideline, and the Snotlings fail to seal the edge! Wait a minute! Never Lice refusing to lose this match 2-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_never_lice_recovers_kick.PNG
Never Lice is completely untouched, and he has his opening to the endzone! I think he’s going to score here folks! He’s… down! Oh what a disaster for H.E.L.L.! Never Lice trips himself up at the goal line, and he is going to lose the ball too! The ball bounces out of bounds! Oh what a bad time!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_never_lice_gonna_score_no_he_slips_at_goal_ line_and_fumbles_out_of_bounds.PNG
Well the ball is going to get tossed in bounds, but I don’t think it matters! The timer goes off, and this one is OVER! The Green Wave take advantage of the leaderless Necromantic team, and they manage to pull off the win in this one… 2-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_20_ball_tossed_to_midfield_and_Zeet_is_right_t here.PNG
MATCH REVIEW:
Zeet really took over the match today! He scored two goals, but it also felt like he was always near the ball. The Green Wave finally lost a few Snotlings to death, but the Ogres were able to get the hits they needed to get to keep H.E.L.L. out of the endzone. Meanwhile, H.E.L.L. has really struggled as the season has wore on. Never Lice continues to try to carry this team, but it’s clear that someone else on the team has to step up if they are ever going to experience their third win of the season.

Killaz get +1 FAME
Hey all you crazy people! Where are live, and we are about to step on the field for what is sure to be a riveting game between the Iron Lads and the Red Brick Killaz! The Lads are still looking for their first win this season, but they did get their first score of the season last week. Will they continue to trend in the right direction? On the other side of the field, the momentum is real for the Killaz! The Orcs are looking stronger by the week, and they have managed to shuffle their lineup more than any other team this season. Will all the roster moves pay off?
I have no idea, but I think we are about to find out!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_1(13).PNG
The kick is up, and… that kick is going… and going… and going… WOW! That kick lands in the endzone! A BIG TIME boot by the Killaz to start this one, and Bofarn is going to have to start this drive from his own endzone!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_bofarn_recovers_the_great_kick_by_the_killaz .PNG
And I think we all hear that folks. That is the rumbling of a machine built purely for death purposes, and Vagrin revs that Deathroller engine much to the delight of the crowd! He offers a wave, and… OH NO! Slammer blindsides Vagrin, pulls him out from behind the steering wheel, smashes him into the ground, then tosses him back into his driver seat! Vagrin slumps over in his seat, and… how are we supposed to get this death machine off the field? Does anyone know how to drive that thing?
Well it doesn’t seem like anyone knows, so I may have to try this myself. I’ll be back as I try to drive the deathroller off the pitch…
…
“AAAAHHHH! MY SPLEEN!!!!”
…
Aaaand we’re back! So I learned I don’t know how to drive a Deathroller, but with the use of magic we figured it out. Anyways, I am being told that it is a serious concussion for the Deathroller driver, and he is out of this one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_Slammer_nails_Vagrin_and_gets_a_Serious_Conc ussion_on_the_deathroller_driver.PNG
Well Bofarn takes the ball to midfield, and he’s got company. It’s his teammate Grog! I’m not sure what they’re talking about, but I think I heard something about a party after the match? I may not be invited, but I am there!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_bofarn_makes_it_to_midfield_and_chats_with_g rog.PNG
And the Killaz rush in and remind everyone that we are in a Blood Bowl match! I almost forgot myself, but this is just the reminder I needed. Bob nails Bofarn and forces the fumble while Grog just watches! The ball pops into the air, and… it lands in the hands of Jugger! Great reaction by Jugger, and Killaz have the ball at midfield!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_bob_forces_fumble_and_balls_gets_in_hands_of _jugger.PNG
And the bad news just keeps coming for the Lads! Da Wall is dominating at the line of scrimmage, and Krabar is down! I think we can hear Krabar from here…
“MY NECK IS BROKEN!”
Well that should clear it up. It’s a broken neck for Krabar, and the trainers are going to drop his body next to Vagrin on the sideline.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_da_wall_has_broken_the_neck_of_krabar.PNG
With all the chaos midfield, let’s turn our attention back to the ball where there is almost no chaos at the sideline. In fact, it looks like Jugger has an open shot to the endzone!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_jugger_heads_to_endzone.PNG
And just like that, the Killaz get up early on the Lads 1-0! A great defensive stop, followed by a good run, mix in a few injuries, and that’s all you really need to score in this game. Write that one down folks!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_jugger_scores.PNG
Well the kick is up, and Bofarn is back to get it. And it’s an ugly fumble! Fans are booin… no wait. I think that was a collective stadium-wide sigh. Unfortunately, I think these Lad fans are used to the fumbling ways of Bofarn.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_all_too_familiar_scene_of_Bofarn_fumbling_t he_ball.PNG
Well, the Killaz are there, and it looks like it’s Bullrush who takes a crack at the ball! In a short-lived moment of glory, the ball slips through the cracks, and lands right in the hands of Bad Dog. It’s an interesting attempt at a pass, but time will run out! Bad Dog looks disappointed, but the fans are ready for a snack break. We head into halftime with the Killaz up, 1-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_bullrush_tries_to_pick_up_ball_but_fumbles_ into_hands_of_bad_dog.PNG
Well we are in the second half, and the Iron Lads have to be concerned already about this one. The Killaz are getting the ball back, and both Vagrin and Krabar are out of this one. Is there life in this team? I know absolutely nothing, so let’s find out together!
The kick is up, and Speed Launcha looks ready to recover this one for the Killaz.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_second_half_speed_launcha_recovers_kick.PNG
Well Speed Launcha puts the “fast” in Speed Launcha, and he blazes to midfield! He steps into Lad territory, and… he has company! It’s another teammate, and Speed Launcha is stopping for a chat? No! You’re supposed to be playing Blood Bowl! Oh just listen to that trash talk. That… wow these Orcs know how to get you with wallops and words!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_speed_launcha_runs_into_lad_space_and_sees_ a_teammate.PNG
It seems that Speed Launcha has had enough trash talk, and he is going to high-step his way into the endzone! It’s another score for the Killaz, and Speed Launcha is just having a great time out there! Don’t forget, when Speed Launcha scores, the Killaz win.
Every.
Time.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_speed_launcha_scores.PNG
Well the kick is up, and… another GREAT kick by the Killaz! This one lands on the endzone as well, and these Killaz are really stretching that field on the Dwarves! With how… slightly fast Bofarn is, there may not be enough time to score!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_another_great_kick_by_killaz_and_bofarn_has _to_get_it.PNG
Well Bofarn does make it to midfield, and here comes Grim Ironjaw to lay out some punishment! He… trips over his feet and… KO? Well, I… don’t think the Lads were expecting that when they hired Ironjaw for this match. That is the epitome of disappointment! As as Grim Ironjaw hits the field, the trainers are yelling out that the match is over. Fans are… fans are looking at me? What?
I guess this one is indeed over! Killaz walk out of this one winning it… 2-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_bofarn_goes_to_midfield_grim_ironjaw_runs_t o_help_with_cage_and_KOs_himself.PNG
MATCH REVIEW:
This felt like a match where field position played a significant role. Both of the Killaz kicks landed in the Dwarf endzone, giving them an absurdly long field for each drive. The Lads were just not able to play their style of Blood Bowl with those kicks, and the Killaz had a great strategy going into this one!

Tapio gets +1 FAME
How quaint! Someone has planted a tree in the middle of the field. I wonder why… what? That’s a Blood Bowl player? They do know it’s a tree… right?
Welcome Blood Bowl fans to a matchup between two old rivals! We have the Norse Landerned Landwasters taking on the Elven Halhokki Tapio! Halhokki Tapio has yet to lose a game this season, and we will see that if that trend continues. On the other side of the field, the Landerned Landwasters have recovered nicely from that week 1 devastation, and I am sure they would like to make a statement here that they are indeed a team to be reckoned with. Which manager will walk out with their head hung in shame? Let’s find out!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_1(8).PNG
Well the kick is… what a BE-A-U-TIFUL kick! That one is gonna land in the endzone, and Erik Longarm has a long way to go for this one! There’s some snow really coming down in this one too, so Longarm is going to have to really be careful out there! I tried running in snow once… I never did quite make it home.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_great_deep_kick_recovered_by_Erik_its_a_bliz zard.PNG
And Longarm makes a break for midfield, and he is STOPPED by some massive monsters! Oh wait… those are just his teammates Godwin Badlos and Lejfwine Dethbeer! It’s a quick huddle at midfield for the Landwasters! My guess is Longarm is giving these two some grooming tips.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_erik_to_midfield_and_monsters_oh_wait_its_ju st_his_teammates.PNG
Well Sharpbriar is having none of it! She blitzes in, and she is going to land a MASSIVE blow onto the well-groomed Norse player, and Longarm goes down hard! He… looks like he’s in some real pain, as opposed to fake pain, and here march the trainers. They say that Norse teams actually prefer the snow, but I think Erik Longarm would disagree after a hit like that. Trainers usher him off the field, and he looks like he is badly hurt. That’s a big time blow for the Landwasters!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_sharpbriar_badly_hurts_erik_and_he_is_badly_ hurt_with_a_fumble.PNG
And it should surprise no one that Clifbranch is there to scoop up the ball. I mean we are talking about THE Clifbranch!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_clifbranch_recovers.PNG
Well Clifbranch looks glorious with the ball in his hands, and he is taking this one up the sideline! And… oof! He is pushed out of bounds, and… HERE COME THE FANS! Nothing unites people like a good pummeling out of bounds, and we have fans of all types joining in on the decimation of Clifbranch. I’m not so sure that Clifbranch is feeling so glorious anymore...
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_clifbranch_pushed_out_of_bounds_and_the_fans _take_care_of_business.PNG
The ball did go out with Clifbranch, so they’re going to need to toss that ball back in bounds. It… lands in a GREAT spot for the Landwasters! It almost feels like this was their plan all along!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_good_toss_for_land.PNG
And Cnut the Dyslexic is going to continue that good fortune for the Norse team! He lands a bit time hit onto Nightgrove, and that Elf is down! Trainers come out, and… Nightgrove is only badly hurt! Fans boo, eager for a more devastating injury! What do these players think this is? Buzkashi?!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_cnut_badly_hurts_nightgrove.PNG
And… THE FANS GET THEIR WISH! Darktrunk sprints for the ball from the opposite side of the field, and he slips on the ice! He falls into the icy ground hard, and we’ve seen this sort of trip before with Krum Mar-Troll. Trainers rush to check on Darktrunk, and… they slip on the ice! One falls into Darktrunk and confirms it. Darktrunk has died. Fans erupt in cheers all across the field!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_darktrunk_DEAD.PNG
Well Manfred Man looks around, and he seems to think these fans are cheering for him! He flexes and scoops up the loose ball, and he’s taking off for the endzone! Put it on the booooooard… YES! It’s a score for the Landerned Landwasters, and they take the lead 1-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_Manfred_picks_up_loose_ball_and_scores_easi ly.PNG
Well the kick is up, and Clifbranch is back to receive this one. Halhokki Tapio is down two players, and one of them may not come back… ever. It’s time to see what kind of mettle this team has. Well that mettle is going to start with Clifbranch as he pushes the ball up the field.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_clifbranch_catches_the_kick.PNG
Clifbranch pushes the ball all the way to midfield, and… HE’S GOING TO LAUNCH THE BALL! Clifbranch with a PERFECT toss across the field, and Tallgrove catches the beautiful pass! What a pass! What a catch! What a play!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_Clifbranch_with_a_PERFECT_launch_across_the _field.PNG
And Tallgrove breaks for the endzone, and he is going to punch the ball in for a super fast response by the Elves! I cannot believe how quickly these Elves were able to respond to that painful opening drive! What a great response!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_catch_and_score.PNG
Well the kick is back for the Landwasters, and it looks like we may just be out of ti… NO! The tree is actually alive! I… I had no idea! The tree seems to have surprised Gunnar too, as a branch whips into the chest of the Norse player, and Gunnar goes down! Trainers are looking around… can someone wave them down? Thank you. The trainers finally head out, and… it seems that that branch blow has broken the ribs of Gunnar!
And as the trainers take Gunnar off the field, the first half comes to an end. The Landerned Landwasters had the impressive opening drive, but that quick response by Halhokki Tapio has this one tied at one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_gunnar_broken_ribs_by_the_tree.PNG
Well we are about to start the second half, and it felt like it was all Landerned Landwasters… until it wasn’t. Both teams are down a few players, so they are putting the blood in Blood Bowl, so we will have to see how these teams perform short-handed in the second half! The kick is back and Nightthorn is going to retrieve it for the Elves. It’s a short kick, so let’s see if the Elves can take advantage of the short field.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_second_half_short_kick_recovered_by_nightth orn.PNG
And I cannot imagine that this was the start that the Landwasters were hoping for in the second half! Kjetill stumbles at midfield, and he goes down in a similarly ugly style as Darktrunk earlier! He may have tripped over a foot, but I’m wondering if he tripped over that midfield line… fans have erupted in cheers again, as they are definitely getting their money’s worth in this one! Trainers are a bit slow at responding to the fallen Kjetill, so Godwin Badlos is just going to toss him to the sideline. I’m no doctor, but Kjetill looks dead to me.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_Kjetill_dead.PNG
Well that death provides just the opening that Nightthorn needs, and she is GONE! She has an opening for the endzone, and she is going to start her high-stepping into the endzone. What a taunt!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_nightthorn_takes_off.PNG
BUT GODWIN RUNS DOWN NIGHTTHORN! He grabs Nightthorn and tosses her to the ground, saving a score! What a gutsy effort by Godwin Badlos! The ball is loose too!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_godwin_chases_down_nightthorn_and_forces_th e_fumble.PNG
And Tallgrove is going to take a bit hit, and he is down with an injury! He tries to stand up, but his head is wobbling on his chest. It… looks… like a broken neck?
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_20_injury_to_elf.PNG
And Moonglade is going to take a bit hit, and he is down with an injury! He tries to stand up, but his head is wobbling on his chest. It… looks… like a broken neck?
…weird. I just felt DeJa’Vu! Either way, the fans are going wild! We may not have any players left by the end of this one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/broken_neck_to_moonglade_previous_injury_in_pic_20 _to_Tallgrove_also_a_broken_neck.PNG
And The Landwasters look to take advantage of the numbers here, and Elling is going to scoop up the bal… It slips through his fingers! He tries to corral the ball, but he accidentally sends the ball into the hands of Sharpbriar! Of all the Elves that are still playing, that is probably the one Elf you don’t want with the ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_22_elling_fumbles_ball_into_hands_of_an_Elf.PN G
Well Sharpbriar shows why, and she runs this one in for the easy score! It cost them many bodies, but Halhokki Tapio manage to squeak out another score, and they go up late in this one 2-1! What a crazy and lethal drive!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_23_and_thats_an_easy_score.PNG
Well we are coming up on the end of this one. The kick is up, and newcomer Ivarr the Bony is going to be retrieving the ball for the Landwasters late. I’m not so sure that the Norse players have enough time to score, but don’t tell that to Ivarr!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_24_ivarr_the_bony_shows_off_what_he_can_do_as_ he_picks_up_the_ball.PNG
And it seems Nightthorn is going to deliver that message personally! She just blasts Ivarr, and he goes down hard! The ball comes loose, and it seems that is how this game is going to end! It was a messy game of Blood Bowl, just how we like it, but Halhokki Tapio survive this one 2-1!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_25_nightthorn_is_there_for_the_forced_fumble.P NG
MATCH REVIEW:
So. Many. Casualties!
With two deaths, several injuries, and some KOs to boot, it seems the Landerned Landwasters really know how to put on a clinic! Unfortunately, the passing game of Clifbranch and the dynamic duo of Sharpbriar and Nightthorn were just a bit too much in the end. As we head into the last week of the season, it will be interesting to see how these injuries affect these teams!

Week 7 Recap:
It was the final week of the regular season, and what a finale it was! Security was lacking this week, as fans interfered more than once. There were also some deaths, some hugs, and even a pretty sweet play! We are locked for the playoffs, so see how your team ended the season below!
Landwasters get +1 FAME
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN.
Welcome to… what is this again? Ah, welcome to another great match of Blood Bowl! We have the probably too speedy Rabid Weasels taking on the recently rebuilt Landerned Landwasters with playoffs on the line for both teams! If the Weasels manage to win this one, they will knock the Landwasters out of the playoffs and into the CRUD! Cup. Let’s see if the Norse team can fend off those pesky rats!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_1(10).PNG
Well the kick is up, and Erik has got this one to the surprise of no one. Erik Longarm has been rather impressive since his debut, and we will have to see if Longarm can keep that impressive start going!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_Erik_takes_kick_up_field.PNG
Speaking of impressive, look at Godwin Badlos go! This werewolf blitzes his way across the field, and he has his sights set on Azhar! He shoots… he scores! It’s a big-time hit onto the Skaven, and trainers are not even waiting for his body to hit the field. They are already out there, and… OUCH! Sounds like it’s a pinched nerve! Not the kind of injury you want… never, but definitely not the week before the playoffs!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_Godwin_gets_a_Pinched_Nerve_on_a_Skaven.PNG
Well it doesn’t take long for the Weasels to find some payback! Unfortunately it’s Elling who is on the receiving end of this one, and Masslick is happy to give Elling a one-way ticket to the bench! Norse trainers laugh, but they still help Elling off the field. He’s badly hurt, and his day is over early!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_Elling_Badly_Hurt_by_Masslick.PNG
Now that we’ve had some time to breathe, let’s see where Erik Longarm is. He… hasn’t moved much! He finally heads towards Weasel territory, and… it’s a hit and FUMMMMMMMMMMMMBLE! Norse and rats are all over the field, even some fans are interested in that loose ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_Erik_hit_and_fumbles.PNG
Aegis has the ball, and after taking a few painful hits this season, I think he could use the positivity of a scoring play… OH! He is tripped up almost immediately, and the ball comes loose again. Looks like Aegis will have to wait for another day.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_Aegis_recovers_fumble_tries_to_go_for_score_ but_is_tripped_up_by_superfan_Grettir.PNG
Well it’s turned into a race for the ball folks, and… here comes Sten! He’s got the ball! And just look at those Norse players! They could not be happier for Sten Sterlift, and they are celebrating like they just won the championship! What comradery!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_Sten_recovers_ball_and_is_cheered_by_team.PN G
Well it seems Sten Sterlift is charged up by his teammates, and he TAKES OFF! Look at Sten just blaze down the sideline! With the way he is jaunting down the field, this is clearly a player that is almost TOO excited to get a score for his team!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_Sten_takes_off_on_his_own.PNG
But it seems that everyone forgot to tell Sten about the big rat ogre hanging out on the field. That’s right folk, here comes Vossak! He lands and impressive shot onto Sten, and the ball goes flying out of bounds! Sten may be down, but he will always those fifteen seconds of fame!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_they_mustve_forgotten_to_tell_Sten_about_the _Rat_Ogre_as_he_is_hit_and_fumbles_by_vossak.PNG
Well the ball is tossed inbounds, and… wow that is great placement for the Landwasters!

Well the Weasels are always going to win a footrace like this one, and they… NO WAIT! Ivarr the Bony jumps right in front of the Skaven, and he’s got the ball! I have no idea how he did this folks, but Ivarr the Bony has somehow, someway, beaten the Weasels to the ball! And it seems he knows what he just pulled off was impressive.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_Ivarr_wins_the_foot_race.PNG
And Ivarr is going to wave goodbye to those rats, and… HE SCORES! Ivarr with the first score of the game, and I cannot imagine that the Weasels are thrilled about this start to the game. They did at least send Elling to the bench, so there is that!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_Ivarr_scores.PNG
Well the kick is up, and Haktar is going to be getting this one.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_Haktar_recovers_kick.PNG
And… who is that? It’s superfan Grettir Haraldson! Never heard of him? Me neither! Well this superfan looks a bit pumped to be living out his dream, and he just lays out Haktar! The rat… sorry I mean Skaven… goes down, as does the ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_superfan_grettir_forces_fumble.PNG
And Grettir has his excited superfan hands on the ball! He scoops… he… has no Skaven around… is this possible?!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_superfan_grettir_takes_ball_and_goes_for_sc ore.PNG
And what a play for the superfan! Grettir with the forced fumble followed by the scoop and score! A pro play by an amateur! And the fans just absolutely LOVE him!
“BOOOOOO!”
Just listen to that love given to one of their own!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/sc.PNG
Well the Weasels are now receiving a kick down 2-0. Not a great look for an offensive-minded team, but you can never count these rats out… until you can that is. Well Snikch is back to receive this kick, and wow does he ever look ready!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_Snikch_recovers_kick.PNG
The rats spread out all across the field, and… Snikch with the perfect launch! Wow, I cannot believe that throw, and that ball flies through the air with the greatest of ease! And that ball lands right in the hands of Masslick! What a catch!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_Snikch_with_a_PERFECT_LAUNCH.PNG
…but wait! This play isn’t over! Masslick takes the ball, and… he hands if off to Haktar! Haktar has the BALL… Haktar runs… He… He… SCORES! What a drive by the Weasels, and they manage to get a score in just as the bell goes off and the first half comes to an end! The Landwasters are hanging on, but it’s gotten close! Landwasters are up 2-1 at the half.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Haktar_takes_handoff_and_scores.PNG
As we head into the second half, there has to be some concern among the Landwasters, as the Weasels have already shown how quickly they can snore… I mean score! I have a feeling this match is far from over… it’s actually an entire half from being over, so let’s get this half started!
Well, the kick is up and… what a lousy kick! It lands at the line of scrimmage, and Aegis catches the kick! Lucky break for the Weasels here, but let’s see if he can break free from the line of scrimmage… spoiler: he can.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_second_half_kick_lands_in_hands_of_Aegis_at _LOS.PNG
It seems Kharma is coming for the Landwasters, and… WELCOME TO BLOOD BOWL! Superfan Grettir Haraldson takes a devastating blow and he goes down hard! Trainers are coming out, and… Grettir is cheering loudly! Very loudly! The fans are going nuts as trainers help Grettir off the field, and his day is over. I’ve never seen a player so happy to get hurt!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_Kharma_badly_hurts_superfan_grett.PNG
With the number of Norse players thinning out, Aegis scrambles his way into Norseland, and… he has plenty of room! I feel like I could build a house in all that space! Aegis makes a break for the endzone, and… SCORE! Aegis spikes the spiked ball, and the Weasels have plenty of reasons to celebrate as they tie this one up at 2!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_21_Aegis_scores.PNG
Well the kick is up, and Cnut the Dyslexic is… nope! Someone check that player’s hands for grease, because the ball slips out of his hands, and it heads out of bounds! That cannot be what Cnut had in mind there.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_22_Cnut_goes_for_pickup_but_it_goes_out_of_bou nds.PNG
And just look at that terrible ball placement! Thankfully, Erik Longarm is nearby, and he’s going to scoop up that ball! He’s got a friend nearby, but I don’t think that that friend is looking to be much help right now. The Landwasters need to move!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_23_ball_tossed_bad_inbounds_for_Land_but_Erik_ recovers.PNG
And this one is getting messy folks! Haktar is sent out of bounds, and HERE COME THE FANS! CHAOS, CHAOS, and MORE CHAOS unfolds on Haktar, and he just gets pounded into oblivion. In a sport with divided fanbases, it is always a relief to see that some things can indeed still bring us together.
Well the fans have stepped away, and it looks like Haktar has become one with the earth… at least for the moment!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_25_fans_turn_on_Haktar.PNG
Erik Longarm runs the ball upfield, and time is a-ticking! Everyone is yelling for Erik to GO! C’mon Erik! Get to running already! He’s going for it! He…
…VOSSAK! The massive rat just comes OUT OF NOWHERE, and he is going to just DECIMATE Erik! Longarm hits the field, the ball comes loose, but Erik looks to be struggling. Grettir cheers from the sideline, but I don’t think I like the look of this one! I feel like we just saw this injury, and… look, I’m no doctor, but I’m going to just say it. Erik Longarm has a pinched nerve!
And as the trainers work Erik off the field, the bell goes off and that is time! Somehow, the Landerned Landwasters hang on and manage to walk out of here with a playoff berth clinched as they tie the Rabid Weasels, 2-2!

MATCH REVIEW:
A game filled with surprises, this one had me on the edge of my seat! Ivarr won a foot race to the ball, fans took down Haktar, Vossak was just about everywhere on the field, and a pair of pinched nerves led to a game that was not short on entertainment, but the Landwasters were able to land just enough timely hits to keep up with the speed of the Weasels.

Wave gets +1 FAME
Well folks, we have a lively one starting up, and I could only be happier if I was able to watch this game with a cup of tea. However, I am tea-less. Anyways, we have the winless Iron Lads looking for their first win of the season against the surprisingly surging Snotlings (and Ogres) from the Green Wave. The Ogres have caught a break as Vagrin is ruled out for this match due to an injury, but the lads have hired some help to help them out in this one. Let’s see if this help can get them their first win of the season!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_1(15).PNG
Well the kick is up, and… the Dwarves waste NO time getting dirty in this one. Noraks nails Blotty Morel with a nasty shot and the Snotling goes down hard. Don’t forget that Blotty Morel was ruled “dead” last week, so I cannot imagine that he was expecting another injury this week. The trainers are out there, and… I can breathe a sigh of relief. He is only badly hurt. Still, he’s out of this one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_Blotty_who_was_dead_alst_week_badly_hurt_by_ Noraks.PNG
Now that the Dwarves are finding their groove, Bofarn is out to get the ball. It’s a clean scoop!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_Bofarn_recovers_deep_kick.PNG
Aaaaand… yikes. Some Bone-headed efforts here by the Ogres early, and it seems Bofarn is being given plenty of field to work with. Ogres may not be the brightest posts in the field, but they can still post. Usually at least.
Right now? Not so much.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_as_ogres_struggle_to_remember_theyre_playing _blood_bowl_bofarn_goes_into_ogre_turf.PNG
And this is not how the Ogres wanted to start things at all! I mean, the Ogres may not be the brightest, but surely they did not plan to start their match like this. Karak takes a big hit, and he goes down to the field in pain. Dozens of trainers rush out, and… it looks like Karak is badly hurt. It seems the dozens of trainers are going to… they’re going to attempt to carry Karak off the field… yeah, that is not going well…
…
…
Well that took forever!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_Karak_Bonechewer_is_badly_hurt.PNG
Well Bofarn is still on the run, but here comes Gog! The big guy comes at Bofarn, but look at those nimbly feet of Bofarn! I don’t know where that footwork has been hiding all season, but he dances his way up the sideline!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_Gog_tries_to_close_in_but_Bofarn_skips_along _the_sideline.PNG
AND BOFARN SCORES! This can’t be real. He just scored two weeks ago. Is it… is it possible he has scored twice this season? It is! Bofarn is officially on a tear folks, and he has gotten his second score of the season! Look at those Dwarf fans go! Mead and ale is getting tossed all over the place, they’re literally flooding the stands! I… I hear the screams of drowning fans as the Iron Lad fans are too busy celebrating in their growing pool of alcohol! Iron Lads go up 1-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_bofarn_scores.PNG
Well the Green Wave is turning into a ripple, as they find themselves down early on the scoreboard and on their roster. Karak is trying to cheer them on from the sideline, but it just sounds like a dying whale. I can’t imagine the players find that inspiring. Either way, the kick is up, and Zeet is back to receive this one.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_zeet_recovers_kick.PNG
And Durd Elf-Pounder looks ready to turn the tides of momentum in this… oh wait. Never mind! He seems to be frozen in thought! It’s another bone-headed play at midfield for the Ogres, and this match is turning into a mind-numbing slog in the first half!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_ganon_goes_for_a_blitz_never_mind_hes_bonehe aded.PNG
Well, Zeet is not one to be deterred by the effort (or lack therof) of his Ogre teammates, and he is going to run this one up the field! Time is running out, and… there’s the bell! The first half is over, and the Iron Lads are shocking the world as they are up 1-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_meanwhile_zeet_goes_for_score.PNG
And as the teams take to their locker rooms for the half, it seems Durd is still stuck in thought at midfield. Hopefully someone can tell him the gameplan for the second half!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_what_a_performance_by_Durd_as_he_is_still_s tuck_in_thought.PNG
Speaking of the second half, the players are out, and they are ready to go. The Ogres are struggling to get anything going for the Green Wave. Zeet was able to carry this team last week, and we will have to see if he has any of that magic left this week. It is definitely going to be a tough one, as the Lads look determined out there to keep that lead. Well it’s too late to plan now! That kick is up, and Zeet is back to receive!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_second_half_zeet_gets_kick.PNG
And… it seems Durd is still deep in thought at midfield. The half has changed, but the play remains the same. It feels like he’s been in that same spot for a few hours now, and no one has bothered to tell him he’s in the middle of a Blood Bowl match. Shame really.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_still_boneheaded_in_the_middle_of_the_field .PNG
Well Zeet takes the ball upfield, and… what’s this?! What is Urt doing? NO WAY! He grabs Zeet Quarterpounder, and he LAUNCHES the Snotling across the field! ZEET GOES AIRBORN! The Snotling flies over the heads up the Dwarves, and he NAILS the landing deep in Lad territory! I cannot believe it! What a toss by Urt!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_FINALLY_the_Green_Wave_gets_a_toss_as_Zeet_ goes_flying_across_the_field.PNG
And Zeet has nothing between him and the endzone! He knows it, and he takes off! HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAY!!! It’s a score for Zeet and the Green Wave ties this one up at 1!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_zeet_scores.PNG
With the kick up, all the pressure now rests on the broad shoulders of Bofarn. He doesn’t seem to perform all too well when there is no pressure, so now we will have to see if this changes anything. He does manage to scoop up the ball without a problem…
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_bofarn_gets_kick_and_runs.PNG
And look at that Bone-headed form at midfield! Durd is really just showing off at this point. There is no way a natural Ogre can be this bone-headed for this long. It… it just can’t be! Yet here is Durd proving us all wrong!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_classic_strategy_at_midfield.PNG
And… still?! More of the same?! Folks, I think I’m starting to lose my mind now. Durd has not moved in… how long? Is he… is he even still alive? Trainers run out to check on him, and… they confirm he does have a pulse. Well whatever is going on in that head of his seems to be very important!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_fresh_bonehead.PNG
Well Bofarn and the Dwarves do not have time to waste worrying about the mental state of Durd, and they start moving the ball up the field. Here comes Star Player Grim Ironjaw, and… WHAT?! Is this possible? Grim Ironjaw has… SMASHED HIS HAND! Trainers rush to help the Dwarf off the field, but I must say I am absolutely surprised by this one! Let’s hope he got paid BEFORE the match!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_Grim_Ironjaw_smashes_his_hand.PNG
Well Bofarn rushes to that endzone, he has victory in his sights! And… DURD!!!!! BAAWW GAWD! I cannot believe it! The bone-headed one has awoken from his slumber, and he lands the most timely of all timely hits on Bofarn and forces the fumble! Was it all a setup by Durd? I have no idea, but he comes through when the team needed him most!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_20_Durd_forces_fumble.PNG
And Zeet has the ball! I think Zeet has this one… NO! Dolor is sure that Zeet will not be carrying the ball any more in this one. He takes down the Snotling, and the trainers are out to help Zeet off the field. You can see that the trainers are being extra cautious here with Zeet. They say… he’s badly hurt? Oh listen to those Green Wave fans! They do not like that news! They want worse injuries!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_22_zeet_pushed_around_and_is_badly_hurt_by_num ber_9_dwarf.PNG
Well the ball is loose, and… here comes EGAD! He scoops the ball, and he has a clean shot to the endzone! He… he’s running for it! Egad runs… and runs… and runs… and runs… and runs… and… HE SCORES!
The bell goes off, and Egad has managed to secure the last second victory for the Green Wave! They walk out of here with the win over the winless Iron Lads, 2-1.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/s.PNG
MATCH REVIEW:
The Iron Lads landed some big hits, but they also took some hits of their own. The Snotlings, particularly Zeet, proved to be just a bit too stunty and the Dwarves defense lets them down again in this one. Also, how about that toss by Urt? First time we’ve seen a teammate thrown this season, and it was a great toss that led to a score!

Wiccans get +2 FAME
You’ve got to elfing kidding me! We have an Elf vs Elf match! Sign me up!
That’s right folks, we have the Watchtower Wiccans trying hand Holhokki Tapio teir first loss of the season, and this one is sure to be an Elfing good time! Both teams are lock for the playoffs, and Holhokki Tapio has even locked the number one seed, but neither team is looking to pump the brakes going into the playoffs! Let’s get this one started! I can’t Elfing wait! Sorry for all the puns.
I just can’t help mysElf!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/Pic_1(16).PNG
Well the kick is up, and it looks like Faba Hellblade is back to get this one. Faba has had an incredible season for the Wiccans, and she’s looking to add to her already impressive stats in this one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_Faba_gets_kick_and_takes_it_up_field.PNG
And… what a start for the Wiccans! Thelni Warbleeder is apparently looking to get some spotlight for herself, and she lands a BIG TIME hit onto Redtwig! She absolutely SNAPS Redtwig, and it looks like this Elf is now on the shelf! Trainers come out, and… Oh! He’s… dead?! WHOA! Listen to those fans roar! They are just absolutely loving this! Definitely sucks for Redtwig, but what a start!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_Thelni_Warbleeder_gets_a_KILL.PNG
Well there’s a bit of a scrum at midfield, and… are they fighting? I can’t really tell. There isn’t much blood, but they look like… I think they’re trying to fight! Let’s not forget these are Elves, so this is probably the best they can do, but talk about a toothless attack! It looks more like a dance than a fight!
Either way, Faba finds a running lane, and she is going to take this one hersElf!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_Faba_finds_an_opening_after_the_death.PNG
Faba has nothing but open field and an impressive athletic skill! In Blood Bowl, sometimes that is all you need because Faba is going to punch it in for the score! After a bit of… dancing… Faba finds her opening, and she puts the Wiccans up in this one 1-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_Faba_scores_after_a_cluster_of_elves_push_ea ch_other_around.PNG
Well the teams get set for the kick, and the fans are chanting for more blood! I don’t think they were impressed with the pushing around that these teams were doing earlier, but fans have to remember these are Elves. They just can’t help themsElves! Nightthorn is back for this kick, and she’ll be starting this drive for Holhokki Tapio.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_nightthorn_recovers_kick.PNG
WHOA! I have never seen a more deadly tree in all my life! Well there was that one tree on the shores of Montezuma, but… Henkikuus just absolutely DESTROYS Ragak Falltaker! Knock on wood, but I don’t think Ragak is getting up from that hit. Trainers are coming out, but they don’t look too optimistic either. They… yeah, they confirm it. Ragak has joined Redtwig in the great forest beyond! Listen to those fans roar!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_Ragak_killed_by_Henk.PNG
Holhokki Tapio bringing the wood in this one, as Faba Hellblade is sent out of bounds! The Wiccan coach is wincing as he watches his superstar Wiccan hit the field hard, but… HERE COMES THE FANS! Where’s security at?! The fans are just absolutely taking it to Faba, and I’m not even sure those are not Watchtower Wiccan fans! In fact, I think one of them is wearing one of those Lerite Bloodstriker gloves (available for purchase in the gift shop)! Faba looks a bit stunned, and she’s gonna hit the bench.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_Faba_sent_out_of_bounds_and_KOd_by_fans.PNG
They say revenge is a dish best served cold, so it is no surprise to see Sakheri Skullrider land a cold-blooded hit onto Darktrunk! Darktrunk looks a bit hazy but LOOK AT HIS HAND! It looks as flat as a pancake, and I think he smashed his hand. Trainers come to help carry him off the field. Wait. It looks like he only hurt his hand. Why are the trainers helping him off the field? *sigh* Only an Elf…
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_Darktrunk_smashed_hand_by_Sakheri.PNG
Nightthorn takes the ball up the field, and she is impressing with some fleet feet! She finds Clifbranch down field, and she hands him the ball! Impressive handoff, but is that Wiccan doing?! He’s just watching that exchange! Get your hands dirty, Elf! *sigh* Only an Elf…
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_and_the_smooth_handoff_to_Clifbranch.PNG
Clifbranch has no problem breaking free, and he is going to run this one in himsElf! He manages to score as the bell sounds, and he ties it up just before the end of the half at 1!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_clifbranch_scores.PNG
Well we head into the second half, and you have to wonder… WHY ARE FANS STORMING THE FIELD?!?! Duck for cover!
…
I’m coming at you from under my desk, and it seems the fans are not a fan of the soft play they’ve seen. I mean, there has already been some deaths and a smashed hand, but the fans want more! We’re losing control folks! The fans are not stopping!
*PLEASE STAND BY*
*TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES*
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_FANS_Storm_THE_FIELD.PNG
Are we sure it’s safe? Okay, if you say so. The fans have left many players in pain on the field, but we are going to be resuming play. The kick goes up, but I don’t even know who’s left standing anymore… Ah! It’s Nightgrove. I think he’s a superfan… no wait. He’s an actual roster member. Looks like the Wood Elves have to dig deep into their roster after that fan chaos!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_Nightgrove_recovers_the_kick_after_the_chao s.PNG
Well the Dark Elves seem ready! Vele rushes the ball, and he lays out Nightgrove! The ball comes loose, and it is a FUMMMMMMMMMBLE!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_Vele_forces_fumble.PNG
It’s a mad scramble, and players are slowly finding their feet again while others race to the ball! Players are flying all over the field, and… Henkikuus swings a MASIVE branch at a cluster of Elves! I don’t think he’s paying attention, but that branch lands squarely on Megekir! The Dark Elf goes down, and here comes the cleanup crew… I mean trainers. They help Megekir, but it appears he is badly hurt. Henkikuus may be rooted down, and a tree, but he knows how to bring the wood!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_megekir_badly_hurt_by_Henk.PNG
Faba gets the ball, and she looks to put the Wiccans up late in this one! She heads past midfield, and she… is tripped! Nightthorn with the critical trip, as she prevents the score hersElf, and Faba goes down! I think Nightthorn just saved the game!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_Nightthorn_trips_up_Faba.PNG
The chaos continues! Elves are flying everywhere, and everyone wants a shot at that ball! Sunthicket manages to scoop up the ball, but Faba bounces up and lays him out! What a hit! Sunthicket goes down, and it seems we have yet ANOTHER injury! Trainers are sighing as they come back out, and they are out of breath. Guess that’s why they’re trainers and not players… either way, Sunthicket is badly hurt and out of this one.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_20_Faba_trips_him_up_and_hes_badly_hurt.PNG
The ball bounces around on the field, Elves are flying everywhere! Sakheri gets the ball! FUMBLE as Sakheri gets taken down by Dayleaf! Vele takes the ball, but he gets taken down as well! He fumbles the ball into the hands of Moonglade! Moonglade takes off, and FABA WITH THE HIT!
The bell sounds, and the chaos continues! Faba saves the Wiccans from losing this one, and instead they tie at one! What a wild ending to this one, but WOW what a match!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_25_Faba_forces_fumble_to_end_game.PNG
MATCH REVIEW:
What started as a pushing match turned into chaos pretty quick! Luckily for both teams, they were both able to get a score in that first half because that second half had people flying everywhere… including the fans!

Killaz get +1 FAME
I look into my crystal ball and see… a great Blood Bowl match coming up! That’s right folks, it is the final game of the regular season, and we are about to get going with what is sure to be a barn-burner between the Red Brick Killaz and H.E.L.L.! H.E.L.L. has been on a bit of a losing streak lately, and they are going to be trying to right the ship against a piping hot Killaz team! The coach for the Killaz has been making his case for some MVP candidates on his team, and they get one last chance to make their case. Everyone’s got something to play for, so let’s just jump right in!

The kick goes up, and it’s a smart move by the Killaz. They place the ball in the hands of Speed Launcha, and the stats say, when Speed Launcha scores, this team wins… except for last game.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_Speed_Launcha_retrieves_the_kick.PNG
The Killaz have their eyes up field, and… what is this?! A dirty play by the Killaz early, and the ref does NOT like what he sees! The ref and Tripper are exchanging some words, and… NO WAY! The ref makes the motion, and Tripper is EJECTED! I’m no expert, but that is a WEAK call by the ref there, and it sounds like the fans agree. It’s a dreadful call by the ref, but Tripper is out!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_Tripper_ejected_early_for_foul.PNG
Now, they may be down an Orc, but the Killaz are not one to worry about numbers. There is a gap in the field now left behind by Tripper, and Bullrush rushes in to fill it… NO! He TRIPS! Bullrush stumbles to the ground, and he… is he hurt? Bullrush! You merely tripped over your own two feet! He waves over the trainers, and it looks like he’s pulling himself out of this one. Saving himself for the playoffs perhaps? The official word is that he is badly hurt… whatever that means.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_Bullrush_tripped_and_Badly_Hurt.PNG
And the blows keep coming early for the Killaz! This one comes courtesy of Bitza Pizza. A fresh and hot blow sends Slammer to the grass, and he looks like he’s knocked out! I don’t think this is what the Killaz had in mind, but you have to wonder if they’re saving themselves for the playoffs. I don’t speak Orcish, but if I did, I would have some questions!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_slammer_KOd_by_Bitza_Pizza.PNG
Even with all the injuries, the Killaz are a threat when Speed Launcha has the ball in his hands, and he tiptoes his way up the sideline! He’s got some space to work with even!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_impressive_jukes_and_speed_breaks_free.PNG
But H.E.L.L. is fast! Well… fast enough! Saphed of Neemboo shows what Neemboo is all about, and he lays out Speed Launcha, forcing the fumble! I don’t know if that’s how they say hello in Neemboo, but I know that hit looked like it hurt!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_speed_underestimates_the_speed_of_hell_and_s aphed_forces_a_fumble_then_recovers_said_fumble.PN G
And H.E.L.L. just keeps the hits coming! Tow may be a zombie, but he knows how to bring life to a match! He hits superstar Orc Bob, and Bob hits the ground headfirst! That is a KO, and Bob is going to need to take a moment at the sideline with what feels like the rest of the Killaz. So far, it seems the Killaz are getting Killed!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_now_Bob_is_KOd.PNG
Well Saphed takes the ball, and he just makes his way out of H.E.L.L. territory and into the land of the Killaz! There aren’t many Orcs left out there, but… WHAT ARE THEY DOING?! The Necromantic team just refuses to let off the gas, and Vitat Met lands a dirty shot onto the Killaz. Well, HERE COMES THE REF! BAH GAHWD! That ref does not look happy with that shot! He makes the motion, and now Vitat Met is ejected from this one! I don’t know who hired this ref, but this guy is really causing some trouble for both teams!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_vitat_ejected.PNG
Even with Vitat Met ejected, Saphed has plenty of space to work with, and he finds his way into the endzone to give H.E.L.L. a 1-0 lead! He… seems to be doing a Neemboo dance? His leg could have fallen asleep, but I think it’s a dance…
Either way, the bell sounds, and we have reached the end of the first half! It was a rough first half for the Killaz, but they are only down 1-0 at the half!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_Saphed_scores.PNG
As both teams take the field, I don’t think I see that ref out there. He was… wait. He retired? Really? In the middle of a game?
…Oh. He was encouraged to retire by the fans. Got it.
Well we have a new ref out there, and the fans are all for it! The kick is up, and Never Lice grabs the ball.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_second_half_never_lice_takes_kick.PNG
And it seems that the Killaz are caught off-guard AGAIN! I don’t what they did at halftime, but I know something they did not do… they did not make adjustments! Grinder is hit HARD by Bitza Pizza, and the Orc goes headfirst into the grass. He’s knocked out, but he’s lucky it wasn’t worse!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_Grinder_KOd_by_Bitza.PNG
AND THERE GOES NEVER LICE! Just when I thought I was fast, I am reminded by Never Lice that there is a reason I only commentate on these games. Never Lice just breaks free, and he has broken past the rickety line of the Killaz!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_Never_Lice_runs_fast.PNG
The Killaz watch Never Lice, and… Never Lice has NO problem scoring! I’m a bit stunned, and so are the fans, but H.E.L.L. goes up 2-0! Never Lice shows us that he does indeed still have it… not that we were questioning him…
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_Never_Lice_with_a_QUICK_score.PNG
Well time is running out for the Killaz, but Speed Launcha is back to get the kick.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_Speed_takes_kick.PNG
Speed Launcha starts to make his way up the field, and… WON?! As in the Zombie? Won surprises everyone, especially Speed Launcha with a BIG HIT, and the Orc loses he ball! The ball floats in the air before bouncing into the massive hands of Da Wall?! What is even happening anymore? Da Wall has the ball?! All in all, that's call is my downfall.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_Won_forces_fumble_into_hands_of_Da_Wall.PNG
Well it’s time for Da Wall, and he rumbles his way down the field! Da Wall heads into H.E.L.L.!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_20_Da_Wall_takes_off_into_Hell.PNG
Never Lice works his way back to his feet, and he does not look happy! He throws out his big claws, and… LOOK OUT SPEEDER! Never Lice slices at the massive Orc, and those claws score a BIG shot at the knees of Speeder! He crumbles to the field! Speeder tries to get back to his feet, but it just isn’t happening. Never Lice isn’t done though! He grabs a CHAIR! What’s he doing?! WHOA! He lands a big blow to the knee of Speeder! Oh, the humanity! Never Lice, why are you doing this?! That is going to get the attention of the trainers! They rush out, and… Speeder definitely has a smashed knee now if he didn’t have one before!
The fans are chanting for more, but the bell sounds, and that is it folks! H.E.L.L. pulls off the HUGE upset to end their regular season, winning this one 2-0!

MATCH REVIEW:
Just when you thought you had this figured out, one of the biggest upsets of the season happens. It started rough for the Killaz with the ejection of Tripper, the injury to Bullrush, and the KO to Slammer. That sequence of events really set the tone for the rest of the match, and the Killaz just could not recover from that one. It also helps that Never Lice is crazy fast.

Round 1 Recap:
It was a light-hearted scrimmage, and it showed in a bloodless “match”. The Wood Elves proved to hold up pretty well thanks to so many players having learned Block, but it was the passing game that elevated the Elves here. Superfan Hirdel has quite the arm, and it led to both of the Holhokki Tapio scores. The Killaz had a couple of knock outs, but they really were stretched thin as the Elves spread out all across the field. Overall, it was a little something to boost some players, but there was little more than that here. Players seemed to know it too.

Landwasters get +1 FAME
There’s a pay-off? How much is it for? Oh… a playoff? That makes much more sense.
Welcome fans of Blood Bowl to the first round of the playoffs! It has been a wild and sometimes wacky season, and we have finally made it to the big dance. Someone is going to have their dreams crushed today, and with the matchup we have today, we are likely to have some bodies crushed today as well. That’s right folks, we have the Landerned Landwasters taking on the Green Wave!
The Landwasters have fought back from a devastating opening match to the season, and they are fielding a full team for the first time since week one! Unfortunately, they face a team that led the league on the defensive side of the ball with an absurd amount of casualties and knock outs. It’s a bash on bash matchup, so the fans are already getting loud for this one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_1(12).PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
The kick is up, and Zeet scoops the ball up easily here. Zeet has been one of the league leaders on offense this season, so the Ogres have to be feeling good about their start already. Zeet is like a artist painting a masterpiece with the ball in his hands, and he is already shuffling up the field.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_zeet_takes_kick_up_the_field.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Ganondorf Dragmire gives a kick with his MASSIVE boot and Kjetill’s leg collapses on itself like a dying star as he hits the field. It’s a devastating blow early for the Landwasters, as trainers rush to care for Kjetill! Something is clearly wrong with his leg, but trainers seem to be checking his arm!
Wait, those aren’t trainers at all! Those are fans! Actual trainers rush to Kjetill, and they chase away the fans. Kjetill definitely has a smashed knee, and his day is over.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_Kjetill_Smashed_Knee.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Zeet takes the ball up the field, and we have a special treat. It’s… SnotlingVision! We’re going to zoom in that camera and get a great angle of Zeet… YIKES! Is that what he really looks like? Wow! I guess it’s a good thing the cameras never get a good picture of those Snotlings. That will get fans to change the channel!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_snotling_vision_of_Zeet_with_ball.PNG?width= 1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
It seems Urt is following the same strategy from last week, and it is a bone-headed play by the Ogre! They did manage to beat the Iron Lads last week with this strategy, so it could work, but the playoffs are probably not the best place to use this strategy.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_theres_urt_and_are_they_trying_the_same_stra tegy_as_last_week_with_the_boneheaded.PNG?width=19 20&height=1080&fit=bounds
It seems that the bone-headedness of the Ogres must be contagious, as over half the Ogres are now stuck in a stupor with mouths hanging open. They could be thinking about complex mathematical equations too, I’m not sure. Zeet better be careful because he has lost his muscle!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_and_the_boneheaded_plays_continue.PNG?width= 1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Zeet is looking incredibly comfortable with that ball in his hands, and he is going to scramble his way into Norse territory! That Snotling knows how to scramble around this field, and he goes deep into Landwaster land!
But the Ogres are struggling to stay focused on the match! Landwaster players rush Zeet, and they push him around, but the Snotling hangs on! And… he gets pushed in front of Godwin! This is not going to end well for Zeet… Godwin lands a big blow onto Zeet, and the Snotling goes down hard! The ball pops loose, but Zeet is struggling to get back to his feet. He’s been knocked out! That is a DEVASTATING blow to the Green Wave, and Zeet is out for the rest of this drive, possibly the rest of the match!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_zeet_gets_pushed_around_but_he_gets_pushed_i n_front_of_Godwin_Badlos_and_the_werewolf_takes_hi m_down_and_zeet_gets_criticaly_KOd.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Fans are going crazy as Zeet is ushered to the sideline, but the match continues! Sten Sterlift scoops up the ball for the Landwasters, and the Green Wave is now back on their heels! Actually, they may not even be aware of what’s going on at this point.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_sten_recovers_ball.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And HERE COMES THE BOOM! Yikes yikes and ouch! Einarr avenging his fallen brother Kjetill and lands big time hit onto Egad, and the Snotling looks like he is hurting!
“Argh! My groin!”
That is the sound of a groin strain folks! Egad is out of this match!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_Einarr_sends_Egad_to_the_bench_with_a_groin _strain.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And HERE COMES THE BOOM! Wait… I already used that… HERE COMES THE HITS! It doesn’t flow nearly as well, but never mind. Godwin Badlos lays out another big time hit, and this time it’s Mosh on the receiving end!
"I'm flying!"
A lone trainer comes to collect Mosh, and he carries him off the field. Mosh is badly hurt, and he is out of this one! Green Wave is running out of Snotling players quick!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_Godwin_badly_hurts_Mosh.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
It’s time for the Ogres to step up, and… more bone-headed plays! These Ogres are just crumbling mentally in these playoffs, and they are just not in this one at all! I wonder what’s going on in the head of those Ogres… probably nothing.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_Ogres_playing_bad_with_2_new_boneheads.PNG? width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
With all the analysis paralysis affecting the Ogres, and most Snotlings licking their wounds on the sideline, Sten Sterlift can easily walk his way into the endzone! Scoring has never looked so easy, and Sten Sterlift flexes as he punches the ball in and put the Landwasters up 1-0 to end the first half!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_sten_scores.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
As we head into the second half, the Green Wave are definitely in some trouble. The bright lights of the playoffs seem to have this team struggling, and they are low on players now. The Landwasters have the lead and are about to have the ball too, so let’s see if they can close this one out. The kick is up, and Erik Longarm has the kick.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_second_half_Erik_takes_kick.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And Erik is just too fast for these Snotlings! He seems to be showing off his inner Never Lice, as he blazes for the endzone without care! The Green Wave can only watch as Longarm blazes his way through the team! We have a view with SnotlingVision now... and it's not great!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_Hamm_watches_as_Erik_heads_past_midfield.PN G?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
But… what’s this?! Godwin Badlos looks to continue his rampage, and this time he’s looking big and targets Urt! Urt is not interesting in joining his Snotling teammates though, and he hits back! Godwin immediately frumples into the ground, and… the stadium roars with cheers! Fans, no! I believe Godwin is dead! Trainers come out, and… they confirm it. Godwin is indeed dead. The fans just go crazy! Hundreds of fans are going nuts, and I am suddenly a little bit more fearful for my life…
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_Godwin_trips_and_dies.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
The Green Wave may not be able to catch up to Erik Longarm, but there are plenty of other Norse players to hit! Karak Bone-Chewer lands a big time hit onto Sten, and he flexes over the fallen Norse player! Trainers rush out, and… ooooo! It’s a smashed ankle for Sten!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_sten_smashed_ankle.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well no one told Erik about his fallen teammates, as he rumbles into the endzone for the score and immediately begins celebrating! The fans are cheering like mad, but I believe they are still cheering the fallen Landwasters. Erik Longarm does not realize this though, as he continues to cheer with the fans. The bell sounds, and that is going to do it for this one! The Landwasters limp away with the win here over the Green Wave and advance to the next round, winning this one 2-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_erik_scores.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
MATCH REVIEW:
Perhaps it was the bright lights that startled the Ogres, but they were just struggling all match. The Landwasters were able to lay waste to the Snotlings, and it became a numbers game pretty quick. The Green Wave did land a few lethal shots though, so hopefully the Landwasters can recover quickly!

Wiccans get +1 FAME
Week one of the playoffs! Somehow, teams still have hope so hopefully we can crush some dreams today. We have the Necromantic H.E.L.L. coming off a big upset over the Killaz to take on the Watchtower Wiccans in round one of the playoffs. I love the smell of undead, but hopefully these teams do not give us a stinker of a match. Looking at the lineups, I think we are in for a great time!
The teams take the field, and… the fans waste no time getting involved! They storm the field, and MULTIPLE players go down for both teams! I don’t think either team had fans storming the field in their gameplan, so let’s see if the fans are happy with the result!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_1_fans_immediately_interfere.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
The kick is up, and the Wiccans don’t seem to have many options to get the ball here. Faba is down, so maybe Thelni? No… she’s down too. What about… no down. Ah of course! Fourth option Telketh Cindercaller answers the call, and he scoops up the ball.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_Telketh_takes_kick_now_and_heads_to_midfield .PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
H.E.L.L. gets ready to respond, and… Bitza Pizza lays out Ragak Falltaker! Ragak takes the fall and he falls to the field! Fans are going crazy over this one, and Bitza seems a bit confused by the cheers. He stomps down onto Ragak, and… you can hear that crack from here! It’s a broken neck folks, and that neck does not look like it’ll heal quickly! Back in my day, we played with broken necks all the time, so I don’t know why it’s such a big deal. They insist Ragak’s day is over though, so clearly times have changed.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_Ragak_broken_neck.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Faba was down, but she was definitely not out! She loves that spotlight, and Faba storms after one of the Ghouls of the Necromantic team. Why? He was minding his own business! Faba smashes into Vitat and listen to those fans chant! No… wait… I know the sound well. My used used to make those sounds to lull me to sleep. That is the sound of a fracturing arm. Listen to the stadium roar, and trainers are going to get Vitat off the field before fans storm in again. Vitat is struggling, and his day is definitely over.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_fractured_arm_Vitat_by_Faba.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Khrem did not like what he saw there, and he has some choice words for the Wiccans! Something about goats and goats? I’m a bit rusty on my Ghoul, so unfortunately I’m not entirely sure what he is saying. He plants a foot into a Wiccan, and the ref blows the whistle! What?! We had two injuries, and you choose to call a foul now?! Clearly the Wiccans have the ref in their pocket, and it could be the use of magic at play here to make that possible. Still, Khrem does not look happy! I don’t blame him. Back in my day, we played with broken necks all the time!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_khrem_ejected.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
After the dust settles, and the blood soaks into the field, Telketh still holds the ball. Forgot we were playing Blood Bowl? Me too. Telketh has little opposition at this point, and he is going to ease his way into the endzone! It is an easy and lethal drive for the Wiccans, and they go up 1-0 to end the half!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_telketh_scores.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
You know, back in my day we played with broken necks all the time. Times have changes though, and we head into the second half with the Wiccans up 1-0. H.E.L.L. does get he ball here, so they can knot this one up at one, but with both Vitat and Khrem out of this one, the lack of speed could be an issue. Never Lice gets the ball, and he is off to do what he does best.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_never_lice_takes_kick_from_endzone_but_with_ no_vitat_or_khrem_there_is_little_speed_left.PNG?w idth=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Never Lice escapes H.E.L.L. and makes his way into Wiccan territory! He’s faster than a speeding arrow, maybe even faster than an Elf on defense! He’s got the endzone in sight!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_quick_maneuvering_by_never_lice_and_hes_gon e_but_can_he_score.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
It turns out Elves are faster than speeding arrows, as Faba blitzes Never Lice, and she sends the werewolf out of bounds! That is a big hit by Faba, and she waves over some fans. They know what to do. Faba cheers on the fans, and it looks like even one of H.E.L.L.’s cheerleaders are joining in on the smashing of Never Lice! It looks like no one can say no to Faba!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_faba_calls_over_fans_and_they_take_out_neve r_lice.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
The ball gets tossed in bounds, and… LOOK AT THAT BALL PLACEMENT! It is literally tossed into the endzone, and H.E.L.L. only needs to grab that ball to force the tie! Wiccans everywhere are yelling for the head of the ref! After the ejection of Khrem, H.E.L.L. fans may be happy to join in that endeavor.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_interesting_ball_placement_in_the_endzone.P NG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
With Never Lice, Vitat, and Khrem all out of this one, Faba Hellblade has no problem getting to the ball. She scoops it up with ease, and things are looking grim for the Necromantic team.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_faba_recovers_loose_ball.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Saphed of Neemboo rushes Faba, and he looks like he wants to give her a Neemboo welcome! He… gets knocked out, and… what a display of disrespect! Faba just runs over the body of Saphed before Saphed can even move, and she is rushing up the field! Talk about a cocky move by Faba!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_saphed_gets_KOd_and_faba_runs_over_his_body .PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
H.E.L.L. is low on players and out of speed, and Faba gingerly walks up the field for an easy score. This one has felt over for a little while, but Faba goes coast to coast to put the final nail in the coffin of the Necromantic season. Wiccans go up 2-0 and… that’s the bell! Time expires, and the Watchtower Wiccans will be advancing in the playoffs after eliminating H.E.L.L. 2-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_faba_scores.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
MATCH REVIEW:
Losing both Vitat and Khrem early took most of the wind out of H.E.L.L.’s sails. The lack of speed cost this team, and Never Lice just could not do it on his own against the Dark Elf team. Faba continues to find ways to take over games, and the Wiccans march confidently into the second round of the playoffs behind her!

Iron Lads vs Rabid Weasels
Lads get +1 FAME
I cannot believe we are already at Championship Week! We have Smaashmouth in the house, and it is going to be a PARTY!
…What? It’s… a CRUD CUP? What is that? We celebrate that now? Oh what’s next… a trophy? There’s a trophy now too? Oh, now that is just…
…Welcome fans to the Crud Cup! I am not really sure what this is, but I am sure it will be a BARN-BURNER of a match. We have the bottom two teams facing off for what is quite possibly the second most interesting trophy in the history of this league… the Crud Cup trophy!
Wow… that… looks awful. So we have the winless Iron Lads and the surging Rabid Weasels facing off today for this abomination, and I am sure both teams would rather end in last place than get this thing. Still, let’s take this one to the field.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_1(11).PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well the kick is up, and the Weasels are back to get this one. It’s a beautiful kick by the Lads, but Snikch has enough speed to get this ball right away. The Weasels have had the best passing game of the season, and I am sure we will be seeing that on full display against these lead-footed Dwarves today.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_Snikch_recovers_deep_kick.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
So the Weasels are quick to spread out across the field, and they seem to be interested in spreading the Lads out thin. Aegis looks to break from the line of scrimmage, and… Vagrin turns on that Deathroller! Listening to that engine roar, I think it sounds much better than that purring sound from the previous game. Even with all that built-in Skaven speed, Aegis is not able to outrun the mechanized grasp of that foul death machine, and Aegis just gets RUN OVER.
Trainers are running out there before Aegis even hits the field, and… yep. It should not surprise anyone that Aegis is out of this one. He’s only Badly Hurt, but he’s badly hurt enough to be out of this one early.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_Vagrin_badly_hurts_Aegis.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
After the trainers clear the field, Snikch takes it to the sideline, and he’s going to attempt a Never Lice special with a sprint up the sideline. He’s got some space to work with, and… Snikch gets taken down by Algrim! The ball pops loose, and this spells disaster! Literally, splatters of blood have spelled out disaster on the field, and we’ve got a fumble on our hands!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_Algrim_forces_fumble_and_ball_is_loose.PNG?w idth=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Grog turns to get the ball, but WOW those Dwarves are slow! Haktar rushes across the field, and he manages to get that ball right unto the watchful eye of Grog.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_Grog_is_there_but_its_Haktar_that_scoops_up_ ball.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Looks like Haktar should’ve been more careful as Grog throws a big fist at the rat! And look at that! The ball goes loose as the rat goes splat! Grog makes Haktar groggy! Haktar hits the turf, and the ball pops loose again!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_Grog_isnt_taking_that_and_he_forces_a_fumble .PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Now it’s Shkezo who gets the ball. The Lads are getting some hits, but I think they need to be reminded that this is a Blood Bowl match and not a bar fight. Weasels are flying from all over the field to get this ball, and the Lads have yet to get a hand on the ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_Shkezo_scoops_ball.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
I think Tot Ironbeard heard me. Am I really talking that loudly? Well Tot takes down Critar, and that looked like a terrible hit! Critar hits the turf, and… what did he say? Who’s Andy Reid? I don’t think that Critar has any idea what is happening here, and the trainers run out to check on him. It sounds like it’s a serious concussion for the rat, and his day is over as he takes a seat next to Aegis.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_Tot_gets_serious_concussion_on_Critar.PNG?wi dth=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Grog? The fists of the Dwarves come alive as Grog lands another big blow to the ballcarrier, and Shkezo loses the ball! Grog has now forced two fumbles, and I think someone had an extra strong ale before the game!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_Grog_forces_another_fumble.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
I think the Dwarves are going for the ball… no… no they are not. Mosback gets the ball now. There’s only a few Weasel players left at this point, but it seems the Lads are determined to take this team out the hard way, one fumble at a time!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_Mosback_scoops_ball_and_turns_up_the_field. PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Look out Shkezo! Grog is apparently not done working down Shkezo, and he lands ANOTHER big hit onto the rat! That was a barrel of a hit, and Shkezo goes down! Grog is calling for the trainers, and he is calling his shot here. He says that Shkezo is badly hurt, and I am inclined to believe. I mean look at those hits coming from Grog this game. I don’t think it’s a good idea to question him.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_Grog_badly_hurts_Shkezo.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Even after all these hits, Mosback still has the ball and he is headed up the field! He has some rats open down the field, and he goes for the pass… it slips out of his hands! Looks like this rat should have kept the passing to the professionals, because that ball slipped out immediately, and it’s yet ANOTHER Fum… the ball lands in the hands of GROG! What is happening right now?! How did Grog get there so fast?! How many ales did he have before the game? Where I can get some barrels of that ale?! Somehow, Grog has the ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_Mosback_tries_to_pass_but_its_fumbled_into_ the_hands_of_Grog.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And… is this real life? Is this just fantasy? I… We… They… Grog scores!!!! Somehow, someway, the Dwarf just dominates this opening drive, and he caps it off with a miracle score for the Lads! Just like that, the Lads are up 1-0! GROG!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_15_Grog_knocks_down_Mosback_and_runs_in_for_th e_score_before_the_half_ends.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And for halftime, we have… SMAAS… oh sorry… I forgot. Not yet! Just a quiet halftime.
Well the teams are back out, and the Lads have to be feeling confident. Grog just dominated that opening half, and now the Lads are getting the ball back! The Weasels can score at any time, but their defense is really being put to the test here. The kick is up, and Bofarn has it.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_second_half_Bofarn_gets_kick_with_kick_off_ return.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
I don’t know what the Dwarves did to prepare for this match, but Dolor joins in the bashing fun, and he takes down Kharma hard! The rat goes down, and he looks a bit crumpled. If I was a doctor, I would say it was a case of hot dog fingers. Wait. It seems it’s a smashed hip. Not as bad as hot dog fingers, but still a bad time. The Weasels are running out of players quickly, and they are going to need to figure something out before they ask me to suit up. I’m not wearing the right socks for that I’m afraid.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_17_Kharma_smashed_hip_by_Dolor.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
If the rats are going to get a stop, Vossak is going to have to make it happen… and here comes Vossak to make it happen! The Dwarves have made a nice cage around Bofarn, but we’re talking about Vossak here. He’s… oh you can’t be serious! He’s targeting Grog?! Did he not see that first half?
Well Grog reminds Vossak how he feels about rats, and he KNOCKS OUT Vossak! He may return later, but he’s out of this drive!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_Vossak_blitzes_towards_the_cage_but_Grog_KO s_Vossak.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
I don’t even know what rats are even playing defense anymore. Bofarn doesn’t seem to know either, and he rushes the ball up the field! He leaves the cage behind, and Bofarn takes the ball in for a score! Bofarn has just had an incredible end to the season, as he punches in his third score of the season! Someone call the clerics, because we have a miracle on the field! The Lads are up 2-0 on the Weasels, and we are running out of time!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_20_Bofarn_scores.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well the Weasels will get the ball, but they are running out of time. Fun fact, but every second that passes gives the Weasels less time to win. It is getting dicey for the Weasels, and they are taking the kick with six players left. That is… well I don’t think this is going to go well.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_21_weasels_receive_kick_with_a_whopping_six_pl ayers_left.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Snikch gets the ball, and… WHAT THE WHAT?! GROG AGAIN?! The Dwarf blitzes into the Weasel thrower, and he just absolutely PUMMELS Snikch! The ball pops loose, and I think I heard something else pop loose as Snikch hits the field! Trainers ask Grog for permission to check on Snikch, and it sounds like he is badly hurt! I don’t know where Grog has been all season, but he is really feeling the crud in this Crup Cup!
The ball hits the field, and the bell sounds! It is a miracle of all miracles, but the Iron Lads have won the Crud Cup! The Lads storm the field, and their fans are quick to storm the field as well! Look at that celebration! Wait… they’re all fighting! Fists are being thrown, and blood is pouring everywhere! What a perfect way to celebrate a BIG Crud Cup win for the Iron Lads!

Match Review:
The Trollslayer should be called the Ratslayer as he really dominated this one, taking out multiple rats and forcing a few fumbles. The Iron Lads set the tone for this one early, and the Weasels just lost too many casualties to get back in this one. Congratulations to the Iron Lads on winning the Crud Cup! What a PERFECT way to end this season!

Semi-Finals Recaps:
We are officially ready to go for the CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH! It is hard to believe that we have already made it, but here we are. Both teams look ready for what is sure to be a GREAT championship, and one of these two teams will be winning the first Championship! Here is a recap of the Semi-Finals...
Well folks, I am not even sure what to say about this one.
Just when I thought I had seen it all, the Snotlings that had been hired to do maintenance have revolted, and they have challenged the commissioner to a match. Without a team, the commissioner looked doomed, but… the fallen players of the league have somehow revived, and it seems they will fight for the integrity of the league! Fans look confused, I am as well, but it is nice to see some old familiar face… OH GODS! What is that?! Those are the players? They look… awful! It seems Blood Bowl players do not decompose with grace, and they are mere skeletons at this point. Even the dead Snotling seems to have grown a good foot!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_1(13).PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And former Dwarven superstar Krum Mar-Troll kicks this one, and this random match has started! Let’s not forget that Krum Mar-Troll once led the league in SPP earned before he met his untimely end. He looks ready to get this one going and show that he does indeed… still got it.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_former_dwarf_Krum_Martroll_kicks.PNG?width=1 920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well one of the Snotlings recovers, and I am being told that its name is Bred. Like bread and butter? Bread sandwich? Just… Bred.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_Bred_receives_kick.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And Hrolf Ariss comes in quick, and he lands a big time hit onto the Snotling, forcing the fumble immediately! Hrolf, of course, was one of the unlucky Norse players that fell in that lethal week one match against the Wiccans. Good to see him get some action early, as he forces the fumble and the KO!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_Hrolf_former_Norse_forces_fumble_and_gets_KO _ball_goes_flying.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Another Snotling sneaks in to recover the ball, but Oaksprout is having none of that! Oaksprout forces ANOTHER fumble, AND he gets ANOTHER KO for the fallen players! What a showing here by the fallen players, and they are playing like players that have something to prove! Oaksprout was the sole member of Holhokki Tapio to die this season, and after some controversy over the quality of their trainers, Oaksprout was the only player that they did actually get right. While his team plays in the playoffs, Oaksprout gets to face off against some Snotlings.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_Oaksprout_gets_KO_and_another_fumble.PNG?wid th=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Like a crazed Blood Bowl player, the Snotlings just keep finding their way to the ball. This time Egil Eye has something to say about it, and now it is his turn to force the fumble! Egil was part of that week one massacre for the Norse team, and he is still joined by Hrolf and Pelle Edson here on the field today. One has to wonder how different the Landwasters would be if they did not lose all three players in one week…
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_7_Egil_Eye_forces_a_third_fumble.PNG?width=192 0&height=1080&fit=bounds
The Snotlings have the ball AGAIN, and… this time here comes Mushroom! After a season where he was the only Snotling to die, Mushroom finds himself a foot taller and forcing a fumble! Great move by the former Green Wave player, and the ball hits the ground again!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_Mushroom_forces_fumble.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And even after death, the Wiccans land big time hits! Ninnon shows what Dark Elves are made of, and he takes down a Snotling in the worst way possible, and that Snotling looks like it regrets every decision it has ever made! That Snotling is badly hurt, and Ninnon lands a hit that his living former teammates would be proud of!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_Ninnon_Badly_Hurts_Grott.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Somehow these Snotlings are just refusing to slow down, and this time Grott grabs the ball for the Snotlings! The Snotlings have managed to fumble the ball towards the endzone, so he actually has little grass between himself and the endzone! He… He fumbles at the goalline! How embarrassing! Before he can recover from his embarrassing, the bell sounds and that is the end of the first half! We are scoreless!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_Ferenghi_fumbles_at_goal_line.PNG?width=192 0&height=1080&fit=bounds
The second half begins, and Krum is back to receive this one for the fallen players. The kick is back, and Krum goes to scoop the ball, but in true Iron Lad fashion, he struggles to recover the ball and he loses in a way that would make Lad fans cheer everywhere!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_16_second_half_Krum_struggles_to_pick_up_ball_ in_true_dwarf_form.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Krum does recover on the second one, and he turns up the field. In front of Krum… is that?... that is the former manager of H.E.L.L.? How did he get down there?! It seems we have found the former manager of H.E.L.L., and he is playing DIRTY! He fouls one of the Snotlings, and I am not sure if he is mad about the team’s performance last week, or the fact that he is a Skeleton, but he manages to knock out that Snotling with that foul!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_18_former_manager_of_hell_fouls_and_gets_ko.PN G?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
It seems the fallen players are only getting started! Oaksprout swings a bony hand at one of the Snotlings, and it is yet ANOTHER KO for the fallen players! They are really letting out their aggression in this one, and it’s those pesky Snotlings that are paying the price!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_19_oaksprout_gets_ko.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
The fallen players aren’t done though, as Ninnon Deathbreaker gets his hands on another Snotling, and this one is going to face the same fate as his fellow little green friends, knocked out and out of this match! Ninnon is really representing the Wiccans well in this one with a few big hits!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_20_ninnon_gets_ko.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And… is that?... Why it is! It is the Spirit of Frogman, and it seems that spirit of the Commissioner has died, and it has become part of this fallen players team! The Spirit of Frogman takes his turn at a Snotling, and the Snotling just does not stand a chance! The Snotlings are running out of players, and the Spirit of Frogman cheers with delight at feeling something for the first time in a long time!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_21_rabid_weasel_gets_their_own_ko.PNG?width=19 20&height=1080&fit=bounds
And the former manager of H.E.L.L. does NOT want to be outdone by the Spirit of Frogman, or anyone else for that matter, and he FOULS one of the Snotlings! Questionable plays here by the former manager, but that Snotling goes down hard! He crawls off the field barely, and he is out of this one! He is just too badly hurt to play at his point.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_22_hell_manager_fouls_and_gives_a_badly_hurt_i njury.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
The whistle? There’s refs in this one? Where did they come from?! The ref apparently does not like what he saw from the H.E.L.L. manager, and he sends him to the bench! The former manager does not look happy about that decision, and he tosses his skull into the stands!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_23_hell_manager_ejected.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
It seems some of the other fallen players are not happy with that move by the refs! The former manager of the Rabid Weasels lands a foul of their own, and it’s another Snotling down, but it’s another whistle blown by the ref! Oh come on! This isn’t even a sanctioned match! It’s defending the honor of the league! Well the ref just does not care about that, and after the former Rabid Weasel manager lands their first hit of the match, it seems the ref did not like that, and they will be joining the H.E.L.L. manager on the bench. Both mysteriously disappeared managers getting ejected in this one for fouls… coincidence?
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_26_before_krum_scores_oaksprout_fouls_and_give s_an_injury_but_gets_ejected.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Well in the middle of that fracas, Krum Mar-Troll did manage to maintain control of the ball. He scores, nearly matching the total points scored by the Lads, and sending the Snotlings packing! There are not many Snotlings left, and they are run off by the cheering skeletons!
It seems there is honor in this league after all!

Killaz get +1 FAME
I cannot believe what I just heard. Holhokki Tapio just decided to…
Welcome to Blood Bowl! We are deep in the playoffs, and we have an incredible matchup here in round two as the Red Brick Killaz get a shot to give the Watchtower Wiccans their first loss of the season! These two teams met earlier in the season and tied, so plenty of eyes are going to be on this game to see if the Killaz have finally found a way to overcome an Elf team. Both Elf teams have yet to take a loss this season, so the Killaz have a real challenge on their hands today. There have been questions revolving around the whereabouts of the Wiccan manager though, as they disappeared just before the playoffs started. With that question lingering, the Killaz may have their shot at a win here, but time will tell!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_1(14).PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
The kick is up, and the crowd is already on their feet! They are getting loud, and the stands are rumbling! Speed Launcha is back, and he is ready to get this one started!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_Speed_Launcha_takes_kick.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And just look at the speed of those Elves! Sakheri Skullrider rushes Speed Launcha, and they land a vicious hit onto the Orc! Speed Launcha hits the ground, and the ball comes loose! Speed Launcha is taking a moment to show signs of life, and he looks down! It’s an early knock out for the Killaz, and that is not how the Orcs were wanting to start this one! Down a player against an Elf team is a recipe for a loss! On a positive, the ball lands in the hands of Bad Dog for the Killaz, so they still have control of the ball somehow.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_3_Sakheri_charges_in_immediately_KOs_Speed_Lau ncha_and_ball_lands_in_hands_of_Bad_Dog.PNG?width= 1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Bullrush responds! He swings a vicious fist at one of the Elves, and he connects with Thelni Warbleeder! She goes down, and I cannot believe it! The Wiccans may have gotten the first KO, but it’s the Killaz who land the bigger blow as Thelni looks like she’s really struggling! Trainers come out, and… she’s definitely out of this one. She’s badly hurt, and her day is over! Great response by Bullrush!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_Bullrush_Badly_Hurts_Thelni.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Bad Dog is eager to push the ball down the field, but Sakheri is not done yet! Unbelievable performance by Sakheri! The Elf lays out Bad Dog, and it’s another fumble! This time Sakheri manages to recover the fumble too! What an dominant performance here by Sakheri early!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_Sakheri_forces_another_fumble_and_gets_ball_ this_time.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Sakheri doesn’t get very far though as Speeder comes in and lands a vicious hit! Looks like Sakheri should’ve stuck to the hitting, because that ball is loose! The Orcs are really showing some great cohesion in this one, and they are grouping tightly around this ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_Fumble_forced_by_speeder.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
After getting the casualty, Bullrush finds his way to the ball, and he is going to scoop it up! He breaks free from the crowd, and the Killaz are just blocking off any lanes for the Wiccans! Bullrush has his path to the endzone, and he is gonna take it! It’s a score for the Killaz, and they take the lead in this one 1-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_Bullrush_scores.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
And it’s a surprising deficit for the Wiccans, but Faba looks calm. She recovers the kick, and The Elves push their way around the field a little bit.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_9_faba_recovers_kick.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
What is this?! Faba finds a running lane immediately, and she is deep into Orc land! Faba blazes past the Killaz, and they can only watch in disbelief as Faba shows off that ridiculous speed! She races for the endzone, and she punches it in! And unbelievably quick run for the Wiccans, and as the first half comes to a close, Faba ties this one up at 1!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_faba_with_a_quick_and_easy_score.PNG?width= 1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Going into the second half, the Killaz are going to need to tighten up their defense. Faba had way to easy of a time scoring at the end of the first half, and if the Killaz want to continue their run for the championship, they are going to need to find a way to slow the Wiccans down. The Elves will be getting the ball to start the second half, and Faba is back to receive.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_11_second_half_faba_recovers_kick.PNG?width=19 20&height=1080&fit=bounds
Faba rushes to midfield, but she is met with a wall of Orcs! They manage to block Faba, and Jugger is going to rush the Witch Elf! He lands a shot, and Faba goes down! With Thelni already out of this one, the Wiccans can only hope that Faba is okay! The ball pops loose, but Faba waves off the trainers. She’s fine, and she’s staying in this one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_Jugger_forces_fumble_on_Faba.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
The Elves continue to show off their speed and weaving ability, and Gager Hellmaul is going to find his way to the ball and scoop it up. The wall of Orcs has returned though, and Gager really has nowhere to go! Great defense by the Killaz here!

Speeder finds his way to the ball this time, and he lays out the Elf with a great blow! Gager goes down, and no surprise to see the ball pop loose. The Orcs are all over this one and Speeder recovers the fumble he just forced!

The Orcs are not done though! They gang up on some Elves, and it’s time to get dirty! These Orcs are just playing dirty and vicious at this point, and I am all for it! Some questionable stomps by the Killaz, and the ref has seen enough! He blows that whistle, and he sends Bad Dog to the bench! The crowd boos, they are definitely not a fan of that call, but the ref refuse to reverse the call. Bad Dog is out of this one!

It doesn’t look like it’s going to matter though! Speeder takes the ball, and he looks like he has a clear path to the endzone! Looks like that wall of Orcs is working out incredibly well for the Killaz in this one, as Speeder has no trouble punching this one in! We’re late in this one, and Speeder just pulls off an incredible score, putting the Killaz up in this one 2-1 after an incredible forced fumble, recovery, and score!

Well it seems the teams are ready to end this one, but Da Wall refuses to let the Wiccans off that easy! It seems that Varanir Pyrefury is going to pay the price for all Elves, as Da Wall just absolutely smashes the Elf’s helmet! Varanir is down, and he is not moving! Trainers rush out for this one, and it seems that… Varanir is dead! The crowd goes wild! Listen to them roar! The Killaz are sending a message to whoever they will be facing in the championship. Good luck!
The Wiccans have scored the most team kills this season, and as the bell sounds to end the game, the tables have turned! The Killaz have won this one, and they have punched their ticket to the championship! They pull off the incredible win against the Wiccans, winning this one 2-1!

MATCH REVIEW:
The speed of the Wiccans was incredible in this matchup, but the Killaz were able to get the hits they needed when they needed them. They swarmed the ball well, and they clustered around the ball when it was loose, creating a death trap for any Wiccan that dared to pick it up.

Landwasters get +1 FAME
There comes a time in every Blood Bowl player’s life when they must…
It is hard to believe we are here, but the semi-finals are upon us! After week after grueling week of bashing, smashing, and plenty of dashing, we are finally on the cusp of the championship and some golden glory! Sadly, one of these teams will be sent home just short of the final dance, and both teams look primed and ready for some hard-hitting action!
The teams take to the pitch and get in position, and… WHAT IS THAT?! Icepelt Hammerblow with a cheap shot early, and he takes down one of the Elves before a kick even goes up! That’s quite the start by the Landwasters as they waste no time getting the action started here!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_1_Ice_gets_early_blow_at_LOS.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
The kick goes up, and Nightthorn goes back to retrieve it. The Elves spread across the field, and they seem to have a play ready to go early in this one. The Landwasters get a few nice takedowns, but they just are not able to capitalize on that nice start from Icepelt.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_2_Nightthorn_takes_kick.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Nightthorn takes the ball by midfield, and she… SEES CLIFBRANCH OPEN DOWNFIELD! Well, he’s kinda open at least. She tosses the ball to the Elven catcher, and it is a perfect connection!

Clifbranch slips past the Landwasters and finds his way into the endzone for the blazing quick score! The passing game has really been heating up in recent weeks for Holhokki Tapio, and it should surprise no one to see a beautiful scoring pass to start our matchup here. The Elves go up early in this one, 1-0!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_4_Clifbranch_with_quick_score.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
After the quick score, eyes are on the Landwasters. The kick is up, and it looks like it will be up to Erik Longarm to keep the Norse team close.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_5_Erik_recovers_kick.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Erik threads his way towards midfield, but these Elves just refuse to let up! They swarm Longarm, and he just has nowhere to go with the ball. Running lanes are blocked, and Holhokki Tapio is just toying with Longarm at this point. I mean, look at that impressive handstand by Clifbranch!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_6_Erik_runs_up_field_but_the_Elves_are_fast.PN G?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
It’s a few blocks, and Longarm squeezes past the Elves! There’s an Elf down, and it looks like they are knocked out! Erik takes the widening running lane, and he has a clear shot to the endzone! Erik Longarm punches it in, and he manages to tie it up at 1! What a great hard run by Erik Longarm!

It seems both teams came into this match determined to put up points, and we have ourselves a little bit of an offensive shootout early in this one. There is still a little time left on the clock, so we will have to see how the Elves respond to the score. Clifbranch recovers the kick here.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_8_Clifbranch_recovers_kick.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Clifbranch takes the ball up the field, but the Landwasters are just all over the field. It’s a strong defensive formation by the Landwasters, and Clifbranch looks like he’s struggling to find an open lane. He hands the ball off to Dayleaf, and… Dayleaf manages to take the ball just a bit further! He weaves through the defense like a knitting needle, and Dayleaf sees a player open downfield! I… I can’t believe this! Dayleaf launches the ball, and Sharpbriar makes a beautiful catch!

We have our second catch of the game, and Sharpbriar is going to run this one in! Just incredible! It’s an AMAZING scoring drive for Holhokki Tapio, and they are going to be retaking the lead as head into halftime, 2-1!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_10_crazy_quick_score.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
As we head into the second half, the Landerned Landwasters are finding themselves with plenty of time to score, but they have to be worried about the passing game of Holhokki Tapio at this point. The Elves passing game does not seem to be slowing down, and they are throwing the ball all over the place today! Thankfully, the Landwasters will be getting the ball to start the second half, and they will have an opportunity to slow this one down to a better pace. The kick is up, and Erik Longarm is back to get this one.

Erik Longarm takes the ball up the field, but the Elves swarm him again! This time, they refuse to wait it out though, and Tallgrove rushes Longarm! Tallgrove lands a beautiful shot onto Erik Longarm, and we have our first fumble of the game! Longarm hits the field, and the ball comes loose! It is a MAD scramble for the ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_12_Tallgrove_forces_fumble.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Sharpbriar gets the ball, and it looks like Holhokki Tapio is going to be ending this one!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_13_Sharpbriar_has_ball.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
But here comes Cnut! Cnut the Dyslexic rushes Sharpbriar, and he just lays her out! The ball comes loose again, and with time running out, you can feel the desperation from the Landwasters as they crowd the ball!
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/chrischapa101/pic_14_Cnut_forces_fumble.PNG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
Sharpbriar may be down, but Nightthorn is more than enough! The Elf scoops up the ball, and she runs her way to reliable Clifbranch! There’s a clean handoff, and… I cannot believe it! Clifbranch runs it in for his second score of the game! What an incredible play by Holhokki Tapio, and the Elves are going to score just as the bell sounds! The offense of Holhokki Tapio looks unstoppable as they head into the championship match!
They punch their ticket to the championship match, showing off their incredible passing game and winning it against the Landwasters, 3-1!

MATCH REVIEW:
The passing game for Holhokki Tapio has really hit its stride at the end of the season. With two passing touchdowns, and a third touchdown for good measure, this offense is showing off an incredible amount of explosiveness to end the season. For the Landwasters, Erik Longarm is playing at a high level on offense, but this team was just not able to get the injuries and knock outs they needed to slow this team down. They felt the injuries from the previous round in this one, and although the Star Players managed to get some work in, the lack of Godwin Badlos was felt.
