Morgs "nickname" in the 2nd edition was "The Ballista" I think

Cheers Lester - good pickup. I used to love wading through all the lore; I feel current versions have failed to build on that.

Is that his brother...I guess it could be by the name. He did have a younger brother that won 'The Crush'. I don't have anything with me now, but what was his name?

Yes Borg was Morg's brother, there was a younger brother also called Grunnk that was mentioned in the fluff but never saw light of day as a star

Well that's the figure that started this whole topic. Any fluff to support the Borg brother thing?

I seem to remember there being some fluff in the White Dwarf that the Borg card originally appeared in, or maybe it was in one of the later White Dwarfs when Morg first appears

Q) Are Morg N'Thorg and Morg'th N'Hthrog the same Ogre?
A) Yup, the spelling changed from 2nd edition to 3rd edition, it's the same lovable Ogre ;) And for the record he also has two brothers, Borg'th N'Hthrog whose stats appeared in 2nd edition and Grunn'k M'mthrog who was mentioned in a 2nd edition DYK.

Ladies and Gentalmen, Paul "the Wall" Skrenyolie! I found this "D&D" style figure shortly after that card was printed up for the "STAR PLAYERS" book(or was it the BLOOD BOWL COMPANIAN?). It had a sword in his right arm that I hacked away.

He was in companion, I have a painted pre-teen version of him too. I remember I bought the blister with this guy and the blocker in gold/yellow armour so I had the 2 star players. Being a little green...........I hacked off the stump at the bottom of the foot...not realizing you needed to drill a hole in the base. I had 'falling figure' syndrome until I became aware of 'drilling and pinning'.
