Hi everyone !
Firstly if those team have already be posted somewhere (i looked for it but didnt found it), well i'm sorry, pleae delete this useless thread ^^,

But if it hasn't been done, here is what this is about. In the old and now deceased France BloodBowl website we had a few custom rosters avaible. They were used quite a lot, even in the biggest leagues. I didnt found them in the custom rosters so here they are :


Damned

Damned are mutants following the renagade god Malal, god of blind vengeance. He is a cruel chaos god who seeks to destroy his brothers chaos god. They all have two heads in honour of Malal and his split skull. And they are as fearsome on the pitch than on the battle field.

0-16 Damned / M7 S3 Ag3 Av7 / two heads / GM / 60.000
0-2 Tormentor / M7 S3 Ag3 Av7 / two heads, sure hands / GPM / 80.000
0-4 Shadows / M8 S3 Ag3 Av7 / two heads, dodge / GAM / 90.000
0-2 Black Hunters / M7 S3 Ag3 Av8 / two heads, horns, shadowing / GSM / 110.000

RR : 60.000
Apo : yes
Sorcerer : yes


Felines

0-16 Catmen / M6 S3 Ag3 Av7 jump up / GA / 50.000
0-4 Panthermen / M8 S2 Ag2 Av7 jump up, dodge / GA /70.00
0-2 Tigremen / M6 S3 Ag3 Av8 /jump up, claw / GS / 100.000
0-1 Great Tiger / M6 S5 Ag2 Av8 / Wild Animal, Jump Up, Mighty Blow, Frenzy, Loner / S / 150.000

RR : 60.000
Apo : yes
Sorcerer : yes


Pirates
Sartosa has always been a pirate heaven. It's only in recent times that they started playing BloodBow, following a bet between two captains. They had to win a BloodBowl tournament. They love to use their monkeys to score. Their best weapon still is theire sure feet that allow them to fall wherever they want. The most famous team are the Grog Hunters and their star captain "One-Eyed" Spades, infamous for his cruelty.
0-16 Ship's boy / M6 S3 Ag3 Av 7 / side step / G / 50.000
0-2 Monkeys / M7 S1 Ag4 Av7 / dodge, stunty, side step / A / 40.000
0-1 Guner / M6 S3 Ag3 Av8 / side step, bombardier / G / 70.000
0-4 Pirates / M6 S3 Ag3 Av8 / side step, block / GS / 100.000
0-1 Captain / M6 S3 Ag3 Av8 / side step, block, dauntless / GS / 110.000

RR : 60.000
Apo : yes
Sorcerer : yes


Werewolves
Werewolves team organisation is almost perfect. Their solidarity and obediance to the mighty crinos can make them a fearsome opponent. But they lack in positional players and can be overcome by their frenzyness, wich forbid them greatness. For now...

0-16 Half-Blood M6 S3 Ag3 Av8 / G / 50.000
0-4 Rabid one / M8 S3 Ag3 Av7 / frenzy, shadowing / GA / 90.000
0-2 Hunters / M7 S3 Ag3 Av8 / Gard /GA / 100.000
0-2 Crinos / M8 S3 Ag3 Av8 / Frenzy, claws, Regeneration / 120.000

RR : 60.000
Apo : yes



From what i can remember only the werewolves were really competitives (fast and furious ^^). But a good coach could do well with damned or pirates, or even felines (they were the harder but i think wrestle is a huge buff for them).

I hope you'll like them as much as i do. The good thing is that it should be possible to retrieve their icones.

Hello Pat. I remember there were a lot of non official teams on BB France. Lots of Dwarf teams for example.

As for the icons I know you can still find Bretonnian, Arabs, Doomed (maybe that's Malal), Felines and Weres. I have never seen the Pirates though.

However to make your icons fit, I think you'd need to use all of yours, as the icons now are very different.

Some of the older players are fans of your original icons though.

Hello,

I remember a Zombie team as well, and of course the Bedouins and the Bretonnian, without mentioning the Dwarf teams!

I lost many times against the Bedouins, my personal Nemesis!

Bedouins and Bretonnians have revamped icons now. If you wanted to update.

Yep, saw that they're in the Secret League.

From what I remember of it, the Araby team is almost the same as the FBB Bedouins.

Yeah, I based the positionals on the original icons.

Oh those were the good days Smile

i was a big fan of the feline team especially, and have already lobbyied for their inclusion in FUMBBL, and I haven't changed my mind about it Wink

Would really like to see how they would do in CRP. I think they have more potentiel now that they did in LRB4, due to CPOMB on blitzers and JU combining well with wrestle too

A few corrections : IIRC, catmen were 60k, and panthermen were AG3 and 90k. Great tigers didn't have jump up either, but shadowing (Unique BG Smile )

I found that tonight, lurking around the dusty corners of the internet system

Nice find! I'm not sure anything came up for me when I tried wayback machine. I wanted to find some of the pitches.

It's been a good read, I should have done this a long time ago. I didn't know they did half these teams, but I don't think there's any new ideas for me there (or improvement on what I'm doing).

There's some really natty logos or logo ideas though, a couple I really love.

Also how did this team work with javabowl? Seems impossible.

All the teams that were not official on FBB were barely ever used in my experience.

It was one of the first teams created on FBB, but I've never seen it played. I think it never was intended to work in JBB
I remember that this team was created afterwards, and it kind of takes its spot anyway. This one was official

This one was not implemented. To complete what the Tok is saying, the teams in the list Equipes non-officielles were just projects.

The stunties played mostly against other stunties, the dwarf clans could only play each other, but you could see a few Felines, Zombies (how I hated playing against those), Bretonnians and Touaregs team around. And looking at my profile in the time machine I found out that I had lost against a Garou Team in League, so you had a few around.
The thing was, a lot of people didn't play against those teams and stuck to the officially official teams.

Thanks for the link ! Brings back so many memories ^^

Well they (the offical at I mean) were'nt the most played, but played they were. More than half and gobs in my memories. Some damned had even won a major tournament (season 5 or 6). And when Nicodaz got in two finals with 2 werewolves in the same season some even called them OP.

Well, any team could look OP in Nicodaz's hands Wink
