So far in 2025. Bryan and I have managed to play a game of Blood Bowl every month. With two games in one month at the start of the year, this was our tenth game of the year.
I opted for a skaven (man-sized rats) team that I recently added some figures for, meaning I could play three "gutter runners" and three "blitzers". I also had Hakflem Skuttlespike as a star player. He's a mutant who is fast, highly agile and has two heads and extra arms giving him added skills along the way.
Bryan decided to play his lizard-men team with Roxy the Kroxigor in the middle of the scrimmage. I personally think lizard-men are the best all-round team. They have some strong players and the little skinks are agile and nippy.
You have to start the game with at least five players on the line of scrimmage. Rats like mine are quite easily beaten up by bigger players like Bryan's saurus blockers. So I put the minimum of five players on the line.
That's my new tactic, having had several games where my rats have been splatted - keep my distance and run past opponents. I still picked up some injuries though.
The game started inauspiciously with one of the gutter runners fumbling picking up the ball.
However the team came good with two quick touchdowns in succession giving them a 2-0 lead.
The second half saw some fun exchanges with failed passes bouncing all over the place. I got lucky when Bryan rolled double skulls trying to cream one of my players, ending one of his turns prematurely. On his very last turn he scored the last down of the game giving us a final score of 2-1.
Roll on next month!
