Phew! After years of trying, our Belgian team finally succeeded in what we’ve been waiting for: bringing Eurobowl to our little country. First off all I would like to give a big thanks to Dries, Mats, Tim, Jurgen, Philip, Christof, Karel and captain Bram – or should I say captain Blowjob – for their great …
I’d been working myself up for the EurOpen for weeks beforehand. Actually, probably months is more accurate. You see the prospect of travelling abroad for a Blood Bowl tournament is something that adds that little bit extra to the standard fare. Half the fun is the trip there, the camaraderie and the experiences shared with …

Chaos Cup 2013! The United States NAF Major was once again held in the Chicago suburb of Palatine at the Holiday Inn Express. Each year there is a theme of Chaos Cup dedicated to a Chaos God. Last year was filthy Nurgle, this year was all about the excess of Slaanesh. 75 coaches were in …

The Gitbash is a goblin-themed Blood Bowl tournament taking place in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada on Saturday, November 2nd.

One thing that’s always bothered me in Blood Bowl is that Chaos isn’t, well, chaotic. I understand why mutations aren’t random from a balance point of view, but it always bothered me. My club-mates, also being ornery old gamers like myself, felt the same. So, inspired by both the WFB “Path to Glory” rules given …

I first came across them in about 2008, when people were using beer bottle tops under the bases of those players with skills. Since then there have emerged a plethora of options for marking skills, with …
“Under blue skies they started to arrive, first in drips and drabs then a steady trickle. Locals of Woodford Green, Essex, UK stocked up on spray tan and locked their doors as they knew the RIOTS were about to kick off their second Blood Bowl Championship!” The good people at Team Romford have put together …
While most tournaments are played simply for a love of Blood Bowl, there are some that have more behind them. As with Alan Aid, the Mike Kriger Memorial Cup is raising money for a good cause, this time in memory of a friend of the organiser, with the proceeds going to charity. The tournament will …
In this post I’ll have a quick look at a few tournaments that are not NAF-ranked, and why this is. Probably the most common reason is that a tournament is a gathering of mates getting together for a day or a weekend, possibly planned at the last minute or not open to all. Some leagues …
