The exact identity and origin of the owner of the Doom Lords is somewhat of a mystery. Then stabbed ’em up and made ’em scream!” Skaven teams have never been short of fans – they seem to crawl out of the very walls sometimes – and the Scramblers have such numerous and ravenous fans that their games often need temporary ad-hoc seating arrangements to accommodate them, and they almost never leave a stadium un-damaged after they go. It can only be a matter of time before the Scramblers reach the top again. Three times winners of the Blood Bowl, the team possesses a vicious mixture of the natural speed of the Skaven and the brutal raw power of its Rat Ogres. Rising from the foulest sewers of the land, the Skavenblight Scramblers are the world’s premier Skaven team, consistently beating out their nearest rivals, the Warphunters. Known for being the most prolific cheaters in the game, some of their players are proficient assassins. If you can catch one of them, a superhuman feat to be sure, they struggle to take a hit.
Skaven teams are very fast and very sneaky. Gissa G, gissa O, gissa W, gissa J… (etc)” We’ll pull yore hair an’ pinch yore thighĪn’ if dat don’t work, we’ll gouge your eye! Even when measured against consistent league winners like the Reavers, the Gouged Eye are not to be underestimated – they are steamrolling their way to a championship and wont be stopped. Under the auspices of tribal overlord Gobsuck Skullcrush XII and the extremely sadistic training methods of Severlimb, the Gouged Eye have thrived, and the cycle of violence dolled out in training can be seen in every play the team makes – it’s a rare match against the Gouged Eye that doesn’t end with numerous casualties. The Gouged Eye has risen steadily from its years as a laughing stock, and are now chief contenders for the top spot. This is also true on the road, as the team travels with a veritable Waaagh! of fans wherever they play.
Under the dismal, dingy lights of the Doom Dome, the Orcs play with a powerful home-field advantage, and they are all too happy to use their loud, belligerent crowds to intimidate their opponents. One common defense is known as the column defense or the 3-4-4, so called because it places three defenders on the front line, 4 defenders on a second line, and 4 defenders on a third line.Big, strong and heavily armoured, Orc teams’ preferred tactic is to mangle the opposing players until they litter the pitch and can no longer contest the ball – scoring points is a secondary concern. Keep your eyes open and your brain working!
The best lineup will change from play to play as well, depending on the number of turns left in the half, the number and composition of each team's injuries, and what you predict your opponent's strategy might be. Some formations work best against strong, slow lineups, while others are best for containing elf plays. I'm going to show you some example formations, but always think about the relative speed and strength of the teams in your game before using any of these. There are a lot of things to consider when setting up. Some of that shaping comes from the coaches working hard, action by action, to drive the ball into the place best for them, but a surprisingly large part of it comes from the formations in which the players set up at the beginning of the drive. It's easy to get caught up in all the action and not notice the shaping effects that cause the scrum to occur in these squares and not those squares (or even those other squares over there). Spines are shattered, curses are shouted, riots are incited, and occasionally somebody even picks up the ball.
