A friendly rant from our Coach
I have grown bored waiting for my servants to find the one ring. What do the other powerful entities do when they are bored with terrorizing thier neighbors? Why they make like an Aquilini and buy a professional sports team!
Long did I plot the rise of this team. Now they are ready to take on all the other inferior races. My goblins have been perfected, ready to undertake any change I desire. Hmm, shall this one side step and have a prehensile tail or should I go with two heads and a big hand? Ahh the tough decisions I have to make.
Orcs are too slow and stupid, they couldn't even defeat Rohan with 10 times the number! So I created a new breed. I call them Skaven. They shall fight, and run, and mutate to adapt to any force. They shall take the Power bowl so I shall have a cup to place my one ring in. When I find the dam thing...
and the crown jewel of my team. A troll that can will be more powerful than a balrog! He shall grow tentacles, claws, and guard all his small friends. He shall grow in legend until he forget to regenerate.
About Thunderbowl
The Thunderbowl league is based in Vancouver Canada (Surrey if you know Vancouver). Here is the basics of the league:
- ~ 50 coaches
- We are just starting season 8 using the LRB 6 rules. We were using LRB 5
- We use the cards as an additional inducement, 5 free Fan factor and FF does not count to TV, and MVP's can only go to living team members as optional rules. There is also a few minor house rules.
- Divided into 2 leagues
- B league is for any team that has completed one season in the C league.
- C league is all new teams (TV 100)
- It is a scheduled league, with 2 games played a month at a local hotel conference room
- The season runs for 6 months, 5 months being the season and the last involving the Playoffs
- Top 12 - 16 teams in the B league play for the Thunderbowl (Bloodbowl) in a single round knock out format
- Top 12 - 16 teams in the C league play for the Power bowl (Chaos Cup) in a single round knock out format
- The remaining teams can choose to play for the Underbowl (Spike trophy)
- There is a $50 fee to join for the season, $40 goes to room rental and $10 goes to the club for betterments such as 40mm boards, timers, etc.
I prefer going right to the database at http://www.thunderbowl.ca/tbsn. This is something the league admin's added last season and it is fantastic. It was not thier creation. I think it is called the OBBLM.
Unfortuantly we are a bit self centered and do not have much content for non TB members (i.e. articles, etc.). I think it may be where we will trying to go in the future.
Starting Team
The Mordor Maruaders starting roster can be found here:

To summarize:
2 Skaven Blitzers
2 Skaven Linerats
2 Skaven Thowers
1 Warp Troll
5 Goblins
3 Rerolls
1 Apothecary
I think this is a pretty solid line up for a long term league. I like that i have an extra player to start and 3 rerolls should be sufficient. I hope to hire 1 goblin a game for the next 5 games!
