Talk Fantasy Football

I forget that not everyone will be "in on the joke"....

The "Lizzie Bordens" (Lizardmen) are from an infamous axe murder(ess) circa 1893 (USA)....

From the UMKC School of Law website:

Lizzie Borden took an axe,
And gave her mother forty whacks,
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.

Actually,the Bordens received only 29 whacks, not the 81 suggested by the famous ditty, but the popularity of the above poem is a testament to the public's fascination with the 1893 murder trial of Lizzie Borden. The source of that fascination might lie in the almost unimaginably brutal nature of the crime--given the sex, background, and age of the defendant--or in the jury's acquittal of Lizzie in the face of prosecution evidence that most historians today find compelling.

This is my orc team name, Da Gang Green.
And I thought I was being pretty original.

It works better as a Nurgle name IMO. But you did add the "Da" and we know THAT'S original. hehe

The same friend calls his dwarfs The Major Miners.

If you have to explain it, it's not funny. But I got it immediately and I'm not even Catholic! Very funny! And dirty could mean sooo many things too.

That's great!!! But if they are kid dwarves, you could call them the Underminerminors.

Manchewer United
Necromantic

It's a fumbble team name from paulhicks. Everyone who knows him, will see that this name fits perfect.

In my league i play:

Rhythm of Loec
Woodelf

This team name is refering to the god "Loec" of the Warhammer Woodies. It sais, Wardancers fight to the sounds of Loec.

I am currently searching for a nice High Elf Team Name (and Starting Roster (and Strategy)).
If i would play Orcs next season, finding the right team name would be easy:

brilliant

One for ze Germans:

Dwarf team - Erzgebirge Haue

Rofl, that's a pretty good one!

My Necromantic-Team were called Wasteland Stompers, my orcs are called ChiCargo Boars (converting real Tema Names into fantasy) and of course my Ratttling Gunz (Skaven) and Elvish Helloweener (Pro Elves with Elvis as Trainer :>) And It´s not always about the name... you should take a name you can remember fast (Nordish by [Brain-]Activity from my Norse :>)

I've been working on my friends and roommates to get them interested in playing. My roommate Angelique became interested when I mentioned there was an Amazon team. She asked about male cheerleaders, but that's a different thread. She looked at the GW stuff and saw the coach with a whip and instantly knew her team name.

You see, we're a bunch of performers at a local Renaissance Festival, and one of her bits is to take her small whip, flick the end around behind a guy, grab the end, and pull the guy up close to her. She calls it her Man-catcher. After seeing the coach she knew her team had to be called Man-catcher United.

Current teams that I'm running.....

Frozen Femmes - Valkyrie Norse Team (Players all named after 'Winter' godesses)
Orclanta Wasps - Orcs

Other Teams that've got interesting names

Judge'd Dead - Undead Team
Philosophy of Violence - Human Team with all members named after Philosophers

Some of my own team name;

Skaven ~ "Warpstone Stealers"
Dwarf ~ "Emerald Hornets"
Human ~ "Rat-Eye Tigers" [See Leicester Latin and rugby team]
Dark Elf ~ "D-Generates"
Goblins ~ "Colonels Bogeys"
Halflings ~" Kabab Gang Boys" & "Hundred Feet Heroes"
Ork ~ "Baaf Stinkaz"
Lizardmen ~ "Greenbach Geekos"

Skaven - The Fikit And Skish Travelling Rat Show (The F.A.S.T Rat Show)

The team was named after the two skaven players...Fikit and Skish.

My son just made an Undead team and the name shows that I have corrupted him in his movie watching. He named them;

Bring Out Your Dead
