Team name needed! and some more fluff.

Post by Al the Trowel »

Hey all

at the Blood Bowl I will be mostly playing with Goblins. And with a bit of luck using Indigo's fantastic Xmas Goblins. Since there not my minis I think it's presumptuous of me to write fluff for them that may forever be associated with them. So I want all you guys to do it for me.

So what do I need - I need names for each player, with a little personal history. I want all the players named after TBB people, so use your own name and give a little potted bio of how you came to be on the TBB Xmas Goblin team. Best on pitch and off pitch achievements etc. Use your imagination (and save me using mine :wink: )

I need a team name too - If I get some good suggestions I'll set up a poll so that we can vote on which one to go with.

As stars are allowed if you want to be a Nobbla or Fungus clone or one of the other Gobbo stars you can. I'm going to base my team selection on the ideas I get for the Fluff. So if I get a Star Player heavy, Ripper boosted team that's what I'll take.

So guys my NAF rating is in your hands.
(But please no Varag, he costs 640k under the BB rules)

PS has anyone some pics of the minis they can post and give people some inspiration?

Hows this to start you off:

"Coach asks for a few words, so here goes. 'Mudball' Furelli is me. Liked game of Blood Bowl since being very small, not that i'm much bigger now.
Had two good seasons recently, granted as a sub. But least still living, which is more than some i've seen.
Me special play is the nose to ground distraction. "

I always liked blowin' stuff up...so dey gave me a big bag wiv some bombs in and I frow 'em around. 'S how I gots my name - fings wot go thud ranin' down on yerz.

Wozzat? wot we called...dunno...but we gots this motto "You'd better watch out..."

Cool so far

2 Trolls - 200K
Bomber - 160K
Chainsaw - 160K
1 Goblin - 40K

Total - 580K

Needed 6 Goblins (min) 240K (820 cumulative total)
Rerolls 2
FF 6

I think this is a roster destined not to do so well, but sounds like fun :lol:
Could ditch a Reroll and some FF to pick the Loon or the Pogo stick.

Cudbe Dangerous

Well known in referring circles as that nasty gobbo who kicks people while they are down. Invariably only plays one or 2 turns a game since he brags abnout his exploits before during and after games. Hence even the dumbest of refs is likely to send him off if he as much as sneezes in the direction of an opponent.

Others have stated that Cudbe is the brightest gobbo alive - playing for such a short period has certainly extended his playing career!

Lol I thought this was going to be one of those things where everyone writes one word of the fluff, with each person afterwards contributing another word to continue the story :D

And you're welcome to use them again :)

the model or the fluff? :)

I'll have a think - my thrower gobbo with the pelt over his shoulder is the closest thing I have to a captain so I'll do him.

does this mean my team will be a contender for best painted? :)

No, because evryone knows that it'll be the Hashrats or whatever Anthony is bringing. As per usual.
