Vongalzthag Violators versus Moot's Revenge Blood Bowl match report

 After having to change the date of the fixture, it was time at last for the second game in the TSA Blood Bowl League.

And facing me where the Moot's Revenge, a team of Halflings hoisting around two of the might Treemen!

Under the nice weather conditions, and some Brilliant Coaching from the Halflings, we where ready to take to the pitch, and hopefully some sheer brutality would bring in much needed SPP's for my team after the crushing defeat in the first League game.

And we immediatly started with Tothrit Lavafor badly hurting the hopeful lineman Fulrad Butcher.  However, their treeman Thistletrunk took revenge by putting Dievanons in the badly hurt department as well, not so good as the stab skill was great for sliding a knife between halfling shoulders.

As one of my lineman was also KO'd, the hitting game actually swinged towards the Halflings!

But then the game took a serious, and later deciding, twist.  Throwing a team mate across the pitch, the poor halfling landed head first and was knocked out, losing the ball.  This was the signal for the Chaos Dwarfs to start some sheer BRUTALITY and in the span of three turns 3 more halflings where KO'd, while no less then 4 where carried of the field injured.  To add insult to injury, both the treemen rooted themselves into place.

While my Hobgoblin linemen did fumble the ball a bit to pick it up, in the final turn of the half The Dude ran over the line, scoring the 1-0 lead for the Chaos Dwarfs.

 

The second half, with some Brilliant Coaching going my way and my Mascot delivering, actually gave me some good amout of re-rolls.  Though circumstances forced me to use them all up in the first turns of the half however.

The treemen started throwing halflings again, and one crashed into a Hobgoblin of my small cage knocking him out, but the ball remained in my possession.  This allowed Numbers to score the comfortable 2-0 lead, and the Halflings seeing not one of their knocked out players awaken where down to the two big trees and three little brave linemen...

The drive started, and another halfling sailed over perfectly, actually resulting in Meanroot gaining a completion point, before he badly hurt Brazhak ThacoBell moments later.

But the ball carrying halfling failed on his last going for it, crashing to the floor as he tried to dodge my deepfield defenders... and a Chaos Dwarf blocker somehow ended up with the ball.  Quickly passing it towards The Dude, the Hobgoblin set off towards the opponent's end zone.  

But alas, he slipped when going for it on the Chaos Dwarf's last turn, and to add to that he ended with a serious injury that not only makes him miss next game, but also lowered his AV by one.  Guess he has just become that one Hobgoblin to either be benched or be shuffled forward in front of a raging ogre or the likes...

Thotrit Lavafor was elected MVP for the Chaos Dwarfs, while Meanroot took this for the Halflings, and the treasury chest rinkled fantastically, allowing for a new addition to the Violators.  The Raging Trainwreck, a Bull centaur, joins the line-up, even though GW will first have to have them back in stock to order the new style ones and actually paint and bring him along...  

My players gained some skills, Tothrit Lavafor selecting Guard, while Brazhak ThacoBell gained Block.  Numbers rolled randomly for a skill, and got the Sure Hands skill, so he will become a dedicated backfielder for the receiving game!  My dedicated fans also went back up after the drop last time, and with 55k still in the chest we are looking good for more future additions.

A much needed heap of 21 SPP's are indeed obtained this match, and the victory puts me currently in 5th place out of 11, with the first 8 going through to the play offs if they reach the minimum 10 games played, so we are on course.

And that means a slave for the slave regiment will be painted up as well...
