Bringing the Dead back into... Blood Bowl!

[SovTech]

Hi fellow undead,

Just wanted to know if anyone besides me plays this great game and have a love of the undead/necromantic team as I do?

To be honest, the Necromantic team is my currently active favorite team. Having only played the fickle Vampires, which are playing as the wind blows and Count Khardiak wishes, and with the Necromantic team I am loving the necroes.

To begin with we were 5 coaches playing each other for 2 games and then having playoffs and the final game. It ended with a victory to the skaven team, followed closely by the undead, then came the norse team, and on a fourth place my vampires followed by a dark elf team. No big winnings, and I was seriously thinking about just dropping it all together.

But, instead we contacted the local boardgame group and asked if they wanted to join our league, and over 6 months we grew to have 16 coaches and a little more than 20 teams.

I decided that my team for such a rather large league would have to include zombies, and since I like the versatility of a Necromantic team, I decided to go for it, now I only needed to name the team, get the minis and get them painted, here is the result:

   

As I live on Elm Street in Copenhagen, I saw it fit to name them:

'The Elm Street Nightmares'

And what do you know, thwey actually went on to the playoffs, beat the living crap out of the human team I met there and faced off against the Norse team from the last season in the final. It was a brutal battle (seriously, he inflicted 4 KOs and 5 Inj on my team and I responded with a puny 2 KOs and 3 Inj on his), but it ended with the norse team being able to grind themselves to a well deserved 2-1 victory... No worries though, The Nightmares are returning this season to exact revenge, and take the cup!

Please share any teams you are playing with!

Cheerio,
ST
