The final challengers to get his figure on the pitch are the following, the modellers are not accepting any further change, may the best be the less detailed miniature! XD
Mayor Mardiggan
Race: Human
Teams played for: Capital kneecapers
stats: ma 5 st 4 ag 2 av 8
skills: Block, Mighty blow, Pro, Leader
History: Former blood bowl player and now mayor by his own rights he is about to confront a new rival for the mayor seat who is not also younger but handsome and better prepared than him. The only way to gain enough popularity to get the pre-election polls just right and to get some cash to fund propaganda seems to go back to the pitch and smash some heads. So far he enjoys the game so much he might keep playing for fun (and cash).
Special: any team hiring Mayor Mardiggan gets a +2 Fan factor for the game. That gain tho is not for free and after the game the team loses 10% of its overall winnings (and no there is no way to get the Mayor related to that filthy act!
Linda Big
Race: Amazon
Teams played for: Bruising sisters
stats: ma 7 st 4 ag 3 av 7
skills: Block, dodge, Strip ball, Pass block, Tackle, Diving tackle
History: Linda is, well, BIG. She's taller than most of his human rivals and all of his fellow players. Her utter bigness does not make her clumsy in any way and is the top defensive player on the sisters' lineup. She's secretive about his life and tastes but on the pitch she concentrates on letting no one across. One of the top plays in her career is remembered with a mix of awe and fear by all those who were there to see Linda recover the ball from a Dark elf witch. The fact is she got the ball as well as her victim's right arm with it.
Erik Giantsblood
Race: Norse
Teams played for: Iced balls
stats: ma 6 st 5 ag 2 av 8
skills: Block, Frenzy, Mighty blow, Leader
History: Erik's history is a bit strange. Being found in the snow by the man who is now his adoptive father and trainer when he was but a baby he was raised to be a natural player but what was not expected was his abnormal growth up to 8 and a half feet! He lacks the agility to jump around like norse blitzers but he makes it up by simple and brute strenght. He's simply no ball player but he can score as well as get rid of his opponents with ease. They don't usually let him pass because every once in a while the ball hits the crowd and some casualties occur.
Lil' Ben
Race: Goblin
Teams played for: Tooth Brutz
stats: ma 7 st 2 ag 4 av 7
skills: Dodge, stunty, right stuff, catch, sprint, sure feet
History: Ben is one of the Brutz's smallest players due to the fact he's the only goblin on this orcish team. He's small but sure the lil' bastard is fast and the main source for TD's for his team. He's also protected by the Black orcs because the best "zmelling pizza with halfling bits". The most notable fact about his career is that he managed an ogre fall due to the dizzynes of following him run around.
Oak Guts
Race: Treeman
Teams played for: West Wind
stats: ma 3 st 6 ag 2 av 10
skills: Mighty Blow, Stand firm, Thick skull, big guy, Take root, throw team mate, block, sure hands, Pro
History in short: He was rooted deep inside the forest taking the trees good life. And suddenly he received mental images of the blood bowl network. Now he plays every game he can no matter the team (that is if they're wood elves or halflings!). He usually shouts when he hits an opponent things like "thake this back" or "where's your axe now?".
Menefer the Old
Race: Mummy
Teams played for: We call dibs on your spleen
stats: ma 4 st 5 ag 1 av 10
skills: Mighty blow, regenerate, block, tackle, tentacles
History: Being and old mummy from ages past is not easy, ruling over mindless undead in the sands of the land of the dead is not exactly what you will call a paradise... Even if you can do that trick with your bandages you kickly grow bored. Every once in a while news from the so called Old world reaches your court and with them you learn about a game you heard about when you were young and alive. That would be a good laugh if you get to play with something more alive than your servants!
Note: the tentacles trait here represents his magically animated bandages wich he can use at will. |

Another day is gone and Mardiggan is the leader no more! Erik, Ben and Menefer managed ti catch him on the top! Surprisingly no one likes Linda... she'll be really upset!
Btw, the player creators would like a bit more feedback than just a vote... So I ask that in their behalf. |

I now like Lil' Ben the best. However, something's missing in his stats. He only has 5 skill/stats that would make him different from a normal rookie Gobbo. Maybe Block and some other defensive skills like (in LRB 5) Sneaky Git?
Other than that, he seems to be the crowd favorite, and mine at the moment. He is still quite playable without being broken, but interesting enough as well. I'd go with him. |

And yet another day is gone!
Surprisingly Mayor Mardiggan former poll leader is now a poll loser! New leader at the end of the day is the fast green spot known as Lil' Ben and Gobbo fans cheer it loud! The only one who seems to follow his track is the massive norseman Erik Giantsblood but he's still three votes short!
The amazing conclusion on Monday!
PS: Thanks Oblitzamanger for your advice. It's now being read by the contestants
Btw I post here a quick customization. This is an less detailed and quicker painted example of what the poll winner gets for his team .

And so last election day is on!
Our really fast gobbo just got in first place with a nice cushion of 4 votes. Mardiggan just got dragged down and now draws in number of votes with linda. One vote over Oak Guts and one under Menefer the Old who gets a slooooow step closer to Erik Giantsblood!
One day left and the final decision begins to take form! |

The final rush is on and Lil' Ben is on a great advantage! Will anyone rise to beat his dominion through the whole poll or may he keep his first position and beat all that big nasty guys (and girl and genderless tree)? |

Everything seems clear now, Lil' Ben sure is a Winner unless Nuffle opposes!
I'll get to work ASAP, maybe in a week I'll be able to post the pic so all can awe at the "speed in green". |
