Famous Teams
Black Mountain Marauders, first appeared in 2nd edition.
Badland Baddies could also be named as a Border Prince team, as the Badlands are geographically right next to the Border Princes, and their race is never specified.
Background
The Border Prince Confederacy, known also as the Borderlands, The Frontiers or simply as the Border Princes is a vast region within the Old World located between the Black Mountains and Black Fire Pass to the north and the shores of the Black Gulf to the south. This region of vast wilderness is home to a multitude of petty Human kingdoms that were established by highly ambitious adventurers who sought to create a realm of their own. Many times, however, these adventurers usually consist of political or religious refugees from lands such as the Empire, Bretonnia and Kislev. As such, these lands are infamous as the homes of a wide variety of bandits, mercenaries, cut-throats, pirates and other lawless fugitives.
Blood Bowl teams from the Border Princes are known for their rough-and-tumble, brawling attitude towards the game. While they are not so organized and tend to carry less sophisticated body armour than most teams, they are known to be able to handle a blow to their head, and have some tricks up their sleeves. They tend to be unscrupulous and rowdy in reaching their goals.
Rationale
The Border Princes is a human team which is less organized and more rough around the edges. As such, they wear less armour, or less sophisticated armour, but on the other hand, they are used to taking hits to the head and can take a blow. As such, AV is 7 except for Brawler and Ogre, and most players have Thick Skull.
Their playstyle is not sophisticated enough for Throwers and Catchers, and instead they have a hardy Runner. Instead of well-trained, solid Blitzers, they have thuggish Brawlers. Finally, they have a Rogue to bring an extra sneaky, nasty element to the pitch.
The Border Princes find themselves stunned much more often than most other Human teams, but they have a habit of getting up. Their team lacks throwing capacity, but its known to be able to get down and dirty with Rogues and Brawlers, who can open up space.
Thrall is added just for future proofing, at a later stage custom star players are going to be added to all the teams, one of Border Princes will be a Vampire with Blood Lust.
