Ratpocalypse: our first Blood Bowl game of 2026


A 5-0 win for the skaven (coached by me) over the lizard-men (coached by Bryan) in our first Blood Bowl encounter of 2026. 

We used the new pitch that Bryan got in his season 3 box (which we unboxed last month) and also his new dice.


I like the new dice. The dice were very good to me! Almost immediately one of my rats had put the big kroxigor into the infirmary. The krox was crocked!


I feel like I've got the hang of my gutter runners now. They ran in 5 touchdowns with plenty of hand offs between them and successfully evading multiple opponents. You shouldn't be able to score when surrounded by four vicious lizards, but this guy did. 



My star players had mixed fortunes. Glart Smashrip did okay, with some successful blocks. But Hakflem Skuttlespike was badly injured again. 


He still needs painting...

Bryan's dice were horrid to him. His players tripped up while trying to rush an extra yard, fumbled the ball right to my players, and generally flubbed their attempts to block and tackle. However, the lovely dice treated me well almost every roll. Right at the end of the match I was able to foul one of the big saurus blockers and severely injure him. Literally adding injury to insult, there.

So, a winning start for the new year. In February I'm hoping to debut a new team. So check in next month to find out what carnage ensues.
