Auld World Masters V, 18/05/19, Incom Games Cheltenham

[thor87]

Table 5. Holger and his senior Orc team from Tootvale are matched against Angry Hobbit’s Pyramid Posse (hailing from the sandy lands of Khemri). Both going bash heavy, who will be left standing when the dust (excuse the pun) settles?

[thor87]

Next up, on table 6, we have Dementor’s against Heartsbane. Both teams are Norse, both are laden with Dirty Player, and both are attempting to Foul their way to a Burger Fling sponsorship. Will the choice to forgo positionals bite Dementor in the behind, or was it a master stroke to get another dirty player on the team?

[thor87]

Halfway through the draw, and we see Flaponion’s Rotten Veg Nurgle team against Cornish’s Dwarfs. Not expecting a free flowly, completion heavy game here, however, I do expect casualties and fouls aplenty, which is what Blood Bowl is *really* about, right?

[nazgob]

Yes! I won't lose to a child round 1.

Table 8 sees another mirror match, with TheRake and Nazgob both raising their minions from Cheltenham’s local church. With more Mummies on the pitch than the local Parents Association, it looks like a Ghoul’s Night out for this match.

[nazgob]

Hmmmm....where are my squishy halflings opponents?

[thor87]

Table 9. We see Sann0638’s Orcs take to the pitch vs Wwe2015’s Necromantic. Cam has all the tools to do terrible things to the Orcs, but will Sann’s vast experience of Blood Bowl shine through?

[thor87]

Table 10 has the Norse trickster God (and my apparentley adopted brother) Loki bring his Undead minions to battle his wits against Pinky18’s Norse. Will the Norse gods punish the Scotsman for battling against his own kind? Or will the saying “What is dead may never die” come fruitful?

[thor87]

Table 11, and the bag of entrants is starting to get a little thin. We see co-host Landrover, using Goblins, drawn against Bethans-Dad’s Amazons. Will the decision not to take a Looney come back to haunt the speed-god himself?

[thor87]

Table 12 sees the other half of the brotherly combo, Scout-Steve (Bethans-Dad is his brother), drawn against myself. An all-halfling roster facing against an all lineman Pro Elf roster, this is only going to go one of two ways. Either the flings will foul their way to victory, or the Swift Twins run riot through the pudgy little scoffers?

[thor87]

And finally, we come to table 13, with the last two entrants being drawn. Legolas, a late entrant to the tournament, brings his dark elves against the infamous Lustrian All-Saints Amazon team, coached by Gorgoroth. A dodge heavy match, should be a very tactical and hopefully brutal affair.

[thor87]

And that’s all folks. I will try to keep my twitter going with results round by round on Saturday, and please note, that this draw is subject to change when the inevitable drop outs happen.
Thanks!

Great stuff!

[sann0638]

Excellent, good read!

[sann0638]

Yes! I won't lose to a child round 1.

I could well!
