Death Watch SWL LXXX Week Four

Welcome back to another glorious week in the Southern Wastes, with the highest death rate this season, a whopping fifteen players whose coaches won't be worrying about Want To Retire rolls! We've got an action-packed update, with Milk Money's first real honest-to-Nuffle death, but first...

Image Vovrok Voidreaver, Surfed into the crowd. Dark Elf Assassin, 0 SPP.

"Druchii Dynasty? Die nasty more like, Jim!"
"Now, Bob, I know you have an antipathy towards elves, but ..."
"I've never given them Tilean appetisers, that's a ridiculous slur, Jim!"
"... but can we pause to commemorate the first Assassin to die since records began?"
"When I stop laughing Jim!"


Image Devor Deadscar, beaten by the superior arguments of Strawman. Dark Elf Lineman, 0 SPP.
"Nothing to say about that one, Bob?"
"Well, I like seeing elves die, Jim, I'll admit it. It's a real shame when they don't take any SPP with them."
"Well, then I may have a treat for you in a minute, Bob..."


Image Miss Meow, one cat that will never have to be rescued from a tree[man] after a block by Cunningmaple. Nurgle Rotter, 5 SPP.

Image Fifi Bobbit, chopped up by Mr Purrfect. *Halfling, 2 SPP.
"And is that an asterisk I see there, Jim?"
"Er, yes, it is. What does that mean, Bob?"
"It's the Gold Star Award for the Curse of the Death Watch, Jim!"
"Oh, not again..."
"Yep, that's right. Bobbit chopped the end off some poor Skaven lineman three weeks ago, and now gets to learn about the savage rage of the Curse!"
"Or she was a Halfling. You can't argue with statistics, Bob."
"I can, and I often do. It's not like they can hit back."


PEOPLE'S CHOICE FOR DOING IT RIGHT AWARD
Image Lilac, turned gray by Slartibartfast The Architect. Elf Catcher, 68 SPP.
"Now this is one everyone should watch the replay for, Jim. Blood Bowl at its best. Lilac double skulled a block, fell down, died. Apo gave him a choice of a smashed collarbone or dead. He chose DEAD, not like some of the cowards out there."
"Er, Bob, you know 'doing it right' means scoring more touchdowns than the opposition, right?"
"What game do you play, Jim?"


Image Jade, a nasty shade of green from a foul by Old Thrashbarg the Lamuellan. Elf Thrower, 87 SPP.
"What's the difference between pink and purple, Jim?"
"I'm going to regret asking this, aren't I?"
"Go on..."
"I don't know Bob, what's the difference between pink and purple?"
"
The grip!"


Image Hypnos, put in a permanent trance by Faustus Gratidius Mordanticus. Underworld Lineman, 16 SPP.
"You could say he needs hypnos-therapy, hurr hurr."
"I do too after typing out those incredibly long player names."
"You think that's bad? You'll be hopping mad when you see what happened to the frogs!"



Image Cory Whiteorc, blocked by Cherta the Hardy II. Chaos Beastman, 0 SPP.
"Well, not much to say about that veteran's career, is there, Jim?"

Image Slice, diced by Laila Lily. *Necromantic Wight, 42 SPP.
"And look Jim, another asterisk!"
"Come on Bob, take your meds..."
"No! Look! Slice killed Blygneggaytch Bloodforge at the season closer last time around, and after making us type that ridiculous name out, the Curse had him marked."
"This is ridiculous, Bob. If the Curse hates us having to write incredibly long names every week, how come Faustus Gratidius Mordanticus or Bouncy Bouncy Slim Hammerhands Jr haven't died?"
"Haven't died yet, Jim... although come to think of it, Faustus died a long time ago. The first time, that is..."


Image Bathilda Begonia, over sweetened by Chocolate. Amazon Blitzer, 12 SPP.
"I just don't understand how a perfectly well-armoured Amazon like Bathilda could possibly end up dying on the pitch."
"It's a total mystery, Bob. Although to be fair, the claws on that wolf will go through even the strongest Amazon armour like it was just AV7"


Image Dolloper, dolloped by Lithobates Catesbeianus II. Khemri Skeleton, 0 SPP.
"You look really sad, Jim. It's only a rookie skeleton..."
"The real tragedy here, Bob, is having to write out that incredibly long name."
"Well in return..."


Image Paedophryne Amauensis II, niabattered by Niabatteroo. Slann Catcher, 66 SPP.
"One more frog with a very long name we don't need to mention again. Well, until Paedophryne Amauensis II gets hired..."

Image Herbad Bik, blocked by Impak. Lizardman Skink, 9 SPP.
"A big whack from Impak for the little Bik who wasn't quick."
"I didn't know you had poetic aspirations, Bob."
"It's the Bloodweiser talking, Jim."


Image Amber, preserved forever by Brad. Khemri Skeleton, 2 SPP.
"Skeletons being killed by Haunted All-Sorts? It's just very confusing, Jim!"

Image Corpse Buffer, disconnected from the sound system of life by Mike. Goblin , 0 SPP.
"Buffer? Isn't that Bretonnian for some snacks?"
"Buffet, Bob."
"Don't mind if I do!"


Tune in next week to see how our predictions are fairing - three weeks to go and everything to play for!

Death Watch SWL LXXX Week Five

After last week's tremendous feast, we're in a fatality famine with only seven deaths across the divisions. It's not always the quantity, sometimes the quality is special too. But rest assured, it looks like normal service will be resumed in Week Six:

Image Panda Express, had its final takeaway after a foul by Little Miss Legneck-Won't-Stop-Bouncing. Elf Thrower, 10 SPP.

And that's the first kill for the Scoundrels this season - Mrs Legneck-Won't-Stop-Bouncing would be very proud of her daughter. Except she got killed by some Rationalists last season, so there's that.

Image Cherta The Hardy II, blocked by Dan Dan. Wood Elf Lineman, 8 SPP. Hardy? Hardly.

"First death from the Curse Of The Death Watch this week, Jim. That's what happens when you murder a journeybeastman. Cherta had a target on his back, and some broken ribs too..."

A proper self-inflicted injury
Image Helmut Wulf, Kickback! by Helmut Wulf. Helmut Wulf, 0 SPP.
"So does that count as the Curse of the Death Watch, Bob?"
"Funny you should ask, Jim, but no. Helmut has never killed anyone since the Curse started keeping records, although he also smashed his own collarbone two seasons ago, so -"
"I don't believe in the Curse, Bob! I was just teasing you! Ha! Ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha! Ha!"
"Oh..."


Image Mike the benefits cheat III, had his claim denied by Bombina Orientalis II. Norse Lineman, 5 SPP.
"Another big hit from the frog with the small name!"
"A small name?"
"You should see the other guys, Jim..."


Image Jammer Stickymitts, had his hands well and truly cleaned by Rumblelow Sheepskin. Skaven Thrower, 0 SPP.
"Those star players, Jim, are a menace. If they're not killing themselves with chainsaws, they're killing seasoned players like Stickymitts who have a right to be in the league."
"Seasoned, you say?"
"Well, they say rats are delicious with a bit of salt and pepper..."


Image Karla von Kill, splattered by Rogski Splatterhand. Karla von Kill, 0 SPP.
"What were you saying about star players, Bob?"

Image Ciara, sent back to the afterlife again by Mike. Khemri Blitz-Ra, 15 SPP.
"You say Ciara, I say tiara, let's call the whole thing - "
"Dead dead DEAD"


With that short medley of calamity, that's all the deaths from this week. Let's pause here and give credit to the lucky 13 players who've battled on despite receiving two serious injuries each this week:
ImageMiss Meow (RIP after her third injury)
ImageStaraya Dereva
ImageRod Smallbones
ImageDong Li Jun
ImageMae Magnolia
ImageDouble D's
ImageOedias
ImageGastrotheca Riobambae III
ImageShuzigash III, the Babylonian
ImageUrrrmaring
ImageTucker
Image"Burning Sensation" Grogg
ImageJavelin

"Wow, Jim. You can even click on each player's picture and get taken to their profile. It's almost as if there's some insane obsessive putting far too much detail into this just for the schadenfreude of seeing players get hurt!"
"... that's a long word for you, Bob?"
"What, schadenfreude?"
"I was thinking anything with more than one syllable..."


How are the Death Watch Predictions?
The Trondheim Hammers, despite tying for most injuries inflicted with the Bronzed Raiders, have not been supplying enough meat to the mortuary. Looks like they won't retain the Glass Hammer Glass Hammer this time around.

It's seven to seven between the Orcidas salesman's dreadful shoelaces, and the vile depredations of the crowd. Who's going to damage the most people in the final two weeks?

Broken jaws have overhauled smashed knees again. Looks like the lowly niggle might miss it's own next game vs all those safe MNGs.

With two deaths and four serious injuries sustained, and not so much as a missed next game inflicted on the opposition, the Delmar Night Crawlers are looking like they'll have the You Can Take It But You Can't Dish It Out Dish, after that hypocritical Scoundrels coach used an apo to save a dead goblin at the end of their match.

Finally, Pinkeye seems to have been concentrating more on writing letters demanding to be reinstated as an All Star, and less on putting the boot in. A disappointing season for the one time boy wonder. Will he manage 32 fouls in his last two games? Probably not.

Death Watch SWL LXXX Week Six

Audience Participation Round
Image No Port in a storm, surfed into the crowd. Elf Catcher, 80 SPP.

Image Stu Wilson, hit by a rock. Elf Catcher, 108 SPP.
"Now this was the biggest death of the week, Bob. Got anything pithy to say about that to mark the occasion?"
"Well, quite apart from the fact that it's in his job description to catch things that are thrown at him, not die from them, what kind of ridiculous name is 'Wilson' anyway, Jim? Totally inappropriate in a serious league like this. Deserved that rock more than any player in recent memory, if you ask me. Game falling into disrepute, ..."


Image Babyshape Hugeface, fouled by Das Boot. Goblin Troll, 27 SPP.
"That's more like it. A sensible player like Babyshape."
"Not that sensible - she forgot to regenerate!"
"I hear she was looking for a relaxing retirement to the SSL after this season..."
"She's retired, one way or another."
"Speaking of retirements..."


Orcidas Salesman Farewell Tour
Image Cordia Hilaria, failed dodge. Undead Ghoul, 0 SPP.
"Cutting the cord on that one."
"Never mind cords, how about doing their shoes up?"


Image Leimonides, looking like a bit of a lemon with a failed GFI. Underworld Goblin, 0 SPP.

"I hear the salesman will be back next week for one last set of unreliable shoelaces. Next season the SWL is getting big money from Reebork to endorse the new Crump shoe."

Pick On Somebody Your Own Size! Stunty Edition (descending order of size)
Image Sawdust Enigma, given an education by Reveka, Wizard Savant. Goblin , 0 SPP.
"Like they say about the Border Princes, it's like a conundrum wrapped in an enigma..."
"Buried in a cheap wooden box."


Image Ordo Bitterstout, sweetened up by Big T. Halfling, 4 SPP.

Image Mo, not around for a minute mo', blocked by Fidel. Ogre Snotling, 0 SPP.
"Hey! Hey! You could say he castroated him!"
"Bob..."


Wilfully Ironic Name Department

Image Redstreak, mushed into a red streak by Rum & Raisin. Elf Blitzer, 26 SPP.
"Kind of asking for that, wasn't he?"

Curse Of The Death Watch Double Dose!
Image Mike, check one-two'ed by Deeproot Strongbranch. Chaos Warrior, 20 SPP.
When the Curse comes, you can't stop it. Mike had three kills this season."
"I guess you could make that four!


Image Erebus, looking grim after a hit by Grimspine II. Underworld Blitzer, 90 SPP.
"As any reader of the Blerk Library will know, Erebus has had it coming for years, the no-good, bald, polluter-of-the-imperial-truth nutcase and general -"
"Bob, are you ok?"
"Why, Jim?"
"You haven't been
reading, have you?"
"Only the annals of the Curse Of The Death Watch, Jim! And all this rat could bring to the table was one dead rotter!"
"Bob, I think it's
cats that bring dead things to the table..."

You're going out dressed like that AV7 edition
Image The Lt Colonel, demoted by Rillithel The Reaper. Norse Ulfwerener, 7 SPP.

Image Remy Price, forced to pay the ultimate price by Cornel Constantin. Wood Elf Catcher, 1 SPP.
"Classic hit there in the first turn of the game. Bravado keep forgetting they're only meant to have the one wardancer..."

We'll be coming back for a look at all our predictions at the end of next week (it looks like the crowd is getting ahead of shoelaces this season) but in the meantime, here's a parade of all the broken players from the season. Enjoy!

SWL LXXX Death Watch Week Seven

And now we come into the closing stages of the eightieth season of the Southern Wastes League, let's see how the deaths turned out:

Image It turns out when life gives you Leimonides, Priygat The Magnificent makes lemons out of them. Underworld Goblin , 0 SPP.

Image Rakarth Ragefist, fisted by Albert. Dark Elf Blitzer, 58 SPP.
Now this was a black orc masquerading as an elf if ever I've seen one. Caught out by the Curse Of The Serious Injury, he never should have smashed the ankle of a zombie earlier in the season. They need their mobility Or the collarbone of a amazon later on. They need their, er, collarbones?

Image Chase, caught a finger in the chainsaw of First and Last, and pretty much everything else followed. Human Blitzer, 14 SPP.

Image Targ Bronzehammer, hammered by Chris Jubba. Chaos Dwarf Blocker, 56 SPP.
"The Curse of the Death Watch and the Curse of the Serious Injury Watch combined here - Targ did all his good work last season, so he probably deserved to depart this league in style."
"And what style was that, Bob?"
"A pine box. It's the latest fashion, Jim. All the cool chorfs are wearing it."


Image Randall Dreggut, fouled by Claracon. Wood Elf Lineman, 12 SPP.
"Randall Dreggut? Drained out regret more like."
"I expect Claracon will be getting the golden boot again this season."
"Funny you should say that, Jim. I got a letter (written in 'official' crayon, no less) pre-announcing that all eleven All-Star scrolls for this season are being awarded to the plucky Scoundrel, Pinkeye Growthspurt."
"Sounds legit, Bob."


Image Ian Hoteagle, had his goose cooked by Igrun Blackbbeard. Wood Elf Lineman, 0 SPP.

Image Hot Dog Hal, served up in several small pieces by the chainsaw of Nobbla Blackwart. Necromantic Flesh Golem, 13 SPP.

Image Sapasui Simon, Failed dodge. Necromantic Ghoul, 32 SPP.
"Wheeee! That Orcidas salesman needs to get his skates on before all the angry coaches cut him off at the knees..."

Image Korma Keith, reheated and spat out by John Goodman. Necromantic Zombie, 0 SPP.
"As everyone was asking, would Goodman man up? Turns out that man Goodman could!"

Image Das Boot, sent to the bottom of the ocean by Jerome Baker. Chaos Dwarf Hobgoblin , 6 SPP.
"And it looks like the beloved maiden of the League, Girlshape, got her revenge from beyond the grave after last week. It's not like Hobgoblins ever regen, is it?"
"To be fair, Bob, neither do trolls or flesh golems, based on the last couple of weeks..."


Image Cait Clover, put out to clover by a foul from everyone's favourite machine tool enthusiast, Helmut Wulf. Amazon Linewoman, 18 SPP.
"And if you didn't believe it before, there we are, the curse of the Death Watch strikes again. Clover killed a skink last season, and now she got to find out what AV7 feels like."
"Er, Bob, if you need occult explanations for why skimpily clad women don't live long in a Blood Bowl tournament, then I think you're making life too hard for yourself..."


Image Xenopus Laevis IIIII, defrogged by Bathilda Begonia. Slann Lineman, 0 SPP.
"Honestly, with this being the third time Xenopus Laevis has died, we're now hoping the rest of his spawning give up on the whole idea of Blood Bowl entirely."

Image Cookie, crumbled after a block by Moolyarl. Necromantic Wight, 2 SPP.

Image Brad Johnstone, blocked by Mobad Kulmokr. Elf Lineman, 16 SPP.
"Now last week we had to complain about these made-up names that coaches keep entering into the team records. It's like they're not taking things seriously, is it Bob?"
"Exactly - although:"



Image Hasen Zip-zap, zapped while going surfing. Skaven Gutter Runner, 11 SPP.

"... at least some players have proper names. It fair restores my hope in humanity."
"Well, that was a large rat, but I take your point, Bob."


Farewell To The Lavabulls Award
Image Nicholas Quickfist, quickfisted on the ground by Hezekiah the Judean. Elf Lineman, 0 SPP.
"Always a good way for a team to sign off - stamping an elf's face into the floor!"

Season awards and commemorative furniture and utensils to follow once we recover the ceremonial crayon from Growthspurt's sweaty paw...

Season LXXX Death Watch Commemorative Furniture And Utensils

This was a season of firsts. The first season since records began where any of the following players died:
Underworld Blitzer,Undead Ghoul,Helmut Wulf,Elf Thrower,Dark Elf Assassin,Orc Goblin,Goblin Doom Diver,Glart Smashrip,Ogre Snotling,Ogre Ogre,Human Catcher,Orc Blitzer, Slann Blitzer
With big names like Squanchy and Erebus leaving permanently, there could be a whole new crop of players turning up. In hospital waiting rooms and morgues throughout the wastes.

"Burning Sensation" Grogg takes the For The Love Of The Game Medicated Bandages, suffering three serious injuries this season and still playing. We've yet to have a player who has more serious injuries than games - will somebody manage four injuries next season and steal the commemorative bandages away?

This season's Glass Cannon Glass Cannon goes to Styx and Warpstones, for killing or injuring 8 players and sustaining 14 in return. Last season's holders, the Trondheim Hammers, managed almost the opposite, taking out 15 players for only 5 serious injuries sustained. What was going on there?

The You Can Take It But You Can't Dish It Out Dish goes to Delmar Night Crawlers, suffering 3 deaths this season without killing a single opponent.

Meanwhile the You Can Dish It Out But Can You Take It Butter Dish is awarded to the Ahtali Lavabulls, topping the killer board with five deaths this season while not losing a single chorf, bentaur or hoblin. (That's right, the Death Watch is down with the kids and all their cool slang!) After early complaints that they were relatively pillowfisted, that team turned out to be the quiet killers of the league.

The It Took You A While But Thanks Anyway Limited Edition Soup Tureen goes to Frank's Food Truck Collective, who waited for the last round of the season sacrifice one of their players to Nuffle.

The Terrifying Chamberpot of Doom is awarded, as ever, to the most lethal player this season. Both Rilithel the Reaper and Mike managed 3 kills each, but after a strongly debated argument among the judges, Mike is awarded the Terrifying Chamberpot, on account of Rilithel having a chance to win it next season, whereas Mike is now dead. The Crowd, provider of six kills this season, are apparently restive.

This season's Southern Wastes All Star Presentation is brought to you in association with Underworld Armour, the performance sporting apparel brand that replaces Orcidas as the official supplier of shoelaces to discerning Blood Bowl players throughout the leagues. Stay tuned after the show for a detailed presentation of how our thaumaturgical technology is guaranteed to prevent all accidents from failed dodges, leaps, go for its and walking around on the pitch!

As many people are aware, various counterfeit versions of the All Star scrolls have been circulating, and the best way to check for them is to see if a) they're written on stolen toilet paper, b) they're written in crayon, and c) the handwriting matches a certain Mr P Growthspurt, who's been constantly badgering our judges to be reinstated on the line-up. As no badgers exist in the Southern Wastes, he's been unsuccessful, and we can now proudly present to you the true All Stars of the 80th season of the glorious SWL.

ImageAll-Stars Season LXXXImage

Image
Multiple time “Rising Star” in the League, it is perhaps a bitter irony that it was only on the cusp of his retirement that this behemoth was acknowledged for an All-Star legacy. Manshape Gutwart may be criticised as merely monstering the small fry in Reggies perhaps, but monster them he did. Garnering just over one casualty a game, a feat that saw him equal 4th in the League as a whole. He did some of his most steadfast work when the team grew thin on the pitch, and indeed was sole player to compete in every one of 54 matches in the team’s history. A remarkably talented and professional specimen… for a Troll, he was a large part of the crowd appeal for the bottom dwelling goblins he Starred alongside. All true fans of the game will have a Manshaped hole in our hearts, he will be missed.

Image
As we've come to expect, there's a great big cow on the line of scrimmage: that's right, after Socrates retired last season, On Second Thawt has been shining. The golden boots he's strutting around in are from an impressive 11 casualties in the Premier Division, Second Thawt shows a peculiar prediliction for undead flesh, having managed to properly kill a vampire this season as well as put serious injuries into a couple of zombies. Every team needs some beef in their diet!

Image
A little bit of thunder - Chocolate added 9 casualties, most in the conferences and third most in the league. Finding cas triples in the games against the Dongs and the Rationalists, he also picked up 3 TDs with an amazing all round performance. Now a SWL legend, he has only recently signalled that he is considering retirement in the near future. The Pugs bigger budget hints there might be one more tilt at Premiership glory left in him.

Image
A little bit of lightning - Strawberry scored in every match in the season to earn the coveted silver ball to go with Chocolate's silver knuckles, pushing his scoring streak out to 10 games. With hat-tricks against the Dongs and the Rationalists, he set the scoring benchmark for the league with a massive 13 TD haul and led the Pugs to secure promotion to Premier League #81 with 5 straight wins. At 4.58 SPP per game, he may go very close to becoming the 2nd Pugs legend to achieve the title before even pondering retirement.

Image
Returning to claim an unprecedented seventh All-Star scroll is the tiny two-headed hate machine that is Salamoneus. After well-deserved criticism at the start of the season that he was only smashing wood elfs like cheap firewood because of their weak armour, Salamoneus disproved that by going out and killing one orc and hobbling another. With six of his ten victims needing at least a game off to recover from their injuries, this was a consistent showing in the Premier division by the horrible horned vermin of the Southern Wastes.

Image
It’s rare for a player with the armour of a snotling to become a Legend, but this four time entry into the All Stars is a rare beast indeed. Dan Dan, Legend by name and Legend by personal reputation, he was the 2nd most impressive showboat in a Prem dominated by at least one other Wood Elf team. Perhaps, dissatisfied with the glory of his Elfy rivals, he contributed massively to the sole upset win against the eventual Champs, making for a tighter contest all around in the Big Show. He was an impressive all rounder, capping the season and a scintillating, if blood soaked, career in SWL with an impressive 8 Cas in a tough division. He scored a meagre two TDs, but it was his work off the ball that impressed. Pressuring in multiple games as well as recovering and providing solid ball service to his up and coming teammates.

Image
Doug Bruce had a short 21 game career in SWL but what an innings! In his final season he collects a well earned third All Star scroll. Many doubted that he'd see a second season after a smashed collar bone in reggies severely dented his strength, but his powerful right arm never showed any sign of withering. In s80 despite allowing an understudy to shoulder much of the workload, Doug still threw the ball further than any other in the league, often into the waiting arms of team mate.....

Image
Stu Wilson. One of the true new stars of the league, this high elf catcher was a prolific scorer. Towards the end of s80 there were two players threatening one of SWL's longest held records. On 11 touchdowns, with two games to go, Wilson had his focus firmly on breaking 15 touchdowns in a season. Perhaps his sight would have been better focused towards the stands. Nobody saw who threw that deadly rock, but many claim it came from a rival werewolf.

Just what does it mean to have 38 fouls recorded against you in a season? Claracon took out 1 elf kicker but it wasn't enough against the champs to be, missed a ghoul that was key to an early tied game, but then removed 3 chaos including a keystone Chosen blocker, making the vamp who would've trivially secured all the loose ball instead sit out the second half for another tie, then roared into gear and wound up the season all on his own by removing 5 underworld from play, then 4 orcs, and lastly 3 wood elves to leave the team a canter in against a near-empty pitch game after game. Argued back into three of them, this hobgoblin is the reason the Bronzed Raiders finished a comfortable 2nd place.

Image
Torduken was the one trusted to do the cantering most of the time, holding up against hit after hit against chaos and wood elf alike, only the Vamps able to knock him down when it counted, his yardage and touchdowns speak for themselves: premier division, 10 scores for the Disco Dan Ball, 195 rush yards for the Xies-Ler-Aym Slipper. You need a trusty pair of hands a secure enough dodge when things get messy, as they so often do in SWL premier division, and there's few so trusty as this brave and sturdy little hobgoblin. The team will be more than happy his skull was patched up successfully last game for another shot at the title come season LXXXI.

Image
Gone are the days of the aged Competitive Era Stars and the venerable Norse Linemen it spawned, and in the crunch and churn of Seasonal play it is a rare Lineman indeed who makes it past being a rookie in the SWL. Stuart, the End Level Guy slips past such considerations with a blinding turn of speed and agility. Since appearing in the All Stars in his rookie season, he seems to have lived up to his promise. Frequently outmanoeuvring and outrunning his opponents with a dashing flair, that makes one think he was recruited against type in his draft year. He single-handedly rushed for a total that almost equalled the entire top rushing squads of many seasons past, and with a career record that exceeds the most prolific Gutter Runners in the league, is it any wonder he scores a majority of his team’s Touchdowns and has become a Super Star in amazing time? We in the selection committee say nay, and advise he remains one to watch.

Notice to any and all Scoundrels fans:

All further games at the Theatre of Breams have been cancelled. Reports differ on whether it's because the coach was sacked and the team are revolting, or because Pinkeye Growthspurt got into the Bloodweiser reserves and started screaming at how unjust it was that Manshape was an All-Star when that was Pinkeye's. Whatever the reason, a man from the council has been round to declare the structure unsafe, the team unsporting and the stench disgusting.

Chop - The Greatest Ogre of All Time!
Reporting by Gabbers Gobsmith for Bloody Mayhem Magazine

Reports have come in to us here at Bloody Mayhem Magazine that a new all-time great has emerged in the Blood Bowl world!
Chop, of the Back Alley Burglars surpassed War to claim the title of all-time greatest Ogre on an Ogre team during the Burglars' run during Season 19 of DIBBL (the Deserted Isles Blood Bowl League).
Perhaps most impressively, Chop secured this after only 132 games compared to the whopping 274 it took War!

There are two known deceased Ogres who played for Human teams who were arguably 'bigger stars', but we are confident that Chop will dethrone even those dubious Ogres who strayed from the path.

So who is Chop, and what makes him so great?
Clearly he's fast, he's mean, and he's agile, but what is his story?
The Deserted Isles Blood Bowl League is played in the far flung reaches of the Blood Bowl world, but our research gnomes have managed to investigate and confirm that Chop's personal trophy cabinet contains no fewer than 7 personal top trophies in the league.
In both Seasons 13 and Season 17 he even secured a Trifecta of The Hen, The Ball, and the Fern!

Through interviews with local derelicts conducted by our field agents, Bloody Mayhem Magazine have pieced together something of a team history for this mob of violent giants.
First spotted in the fringes of the SWL where they were happily blooding aspiring teams, the Burglars were contacted by the officials at DIBBL and got tempted to come back home over the ditch.
Since their arrival, they have become a staple of the league.
It appears there is a bit of a black patch where there was no recorded history of games played (coincidentally when Coach DustBunny mysteriously vanished from the Deserted Isles), but the Burglars eventually returned with what appears to be an empty robe floating in the coaching dugout.
Bloody Mayhem Magazine have tracked down someone in the Wight Isles who appears to resemble Coach DustBunny, but all itinerant reporters sent to the location have mysteriously vanished before securing any extra comment.

Regardless of the mystery, since their return they have made their mark, and we eagerly anticipate watching their Season 20 run!
Keep an eye on the league matches dear readers, the DIBBL league games show live all over the known realms!
If Father Nurgle has you down, what better time to pick a DIBBL team to support and tune in live!


In memory of Boris and Swib Swab

SWL DEATH WATCH SEASON LXXXI


"Wow Jim, look at those pretty lights!"
"Yes Bob, with Underworld Armour's exclusive sponsorship of the Death Watch this season, we've been able to upgrade the studio with new decor, enhanced visuals and high density infographics!"
"What does that mean, Bob?"
"We've got writing in funny colours, Bob."
"Did you spend
all the sponsorship money on that?"
"Yes, Bob."
"Jim?"
"Yes, Bob?"
"Aren't you meant to be the smart one of us?"
"... and without further ado, let's look at the predictions for this season!"


First up, the Glass Cannon Glass Cannon. After a one-season sabbatical, the Labrats are back in the game. With big hitters and squelchy little rats, we expect this could be a strong competitor for the most injured, most killy team. Or will it be Druchii Dynasty in their first season in the big league?
There's also the Stunty Wildcard With both Funeral Catering Services and the Wattlebay Warblers in the Conferences, could one of these stunty teams get their hands on it?

The You Can Take It But You Can't Dish It Out Dish is wide open. Will it be the squishy frogs of Toadal Pandemonium? Will the Real Fake Alternative Facts continue their pre-season policy of being just too nice to their opponents to make a threat? No, it's going to be elves, isn't it? With two Wood Elf teams in the Regionals, there's going to be a race between the simpering arboreal fops to see who can lose the most players as a series of kill teams bounce over their pointy-eared speed bumps.

Meanwhile, the You Can Dish It Out But Can You Take It Butter Dish is going to go to a team with regeneration. Smart money is on Didgeridead, as long as they don't suffer any decay. Pugs Not Drugs and the other undead teams have puny ghouls that will easily go squish, and we expect a mound of diseased and dead rotters by the end of the season.

The Terrifying Chamberpot of Doom is up for grabs. Salamoneus, On Second Thawt and Impak are all solid contenders, but we think this will be decided in the Conferences and not in the Premiership.

"Jim?"
"Yes, Bob?"
"I wanted to learn to read better, so I bought a dictionary, and the entry for 'equivocating' is just a big picture of your face. Can't you make a firm prediction about
any of these awards?"

SWL DEATH WATCH SEASON LXXXI Week One


"Looks like a short one this week Bob."
"Certainly is Jim, and I don't just mean:"

Image Warmglow Tikka, digested by Bitterhide. Halfling, 4 SPP.
"Reminds me of a Tikka I had once, Jim."
"Oh Bob..."
"Going at one end, going at the other end, there were bits of Tikka at both ends of the pitch. They won't get those stains out!"


Image Aada Alyssum, Block by Rod Ketels. Amazon Linewoman, 0 SPP.
"Now that's funny, isn't it, because the ketels are those muscles that Amazons squeeze together to -"
"- no Bob! Ketel
bells are a Kislevite workout device."
"Well, the big Rod certainly worked her out -"
"Bob! Stop being rude about Amazons!"
"They're dodgy ladies and that's the end of it, Jim."


Image gforce, feeling a different force after being tenderised by Mobad Tendaeriodr. Orc Lineman, 0 SPP.
"Lizards! They're vicious brutes, Jim. That one's even called Mobad, for Nuffle's sake!"

Image Umthi the Damned, double damned by Morty Smith. Chaos Dwarf Blocker, 2 SPP.
"He died with his boots on, Jim. And a novelty top hat, by the sounds of things."

Image Isiah Prince, deposed by Pete. Undead Zombie, 0 SPP.
"If a zombie dies in the forest and didn't ever achieve anything, is it really something to watch, Jim?"
"That's unusually philosophical of you, Bob."


Image Hayds Pronekicker, will be lying down for a very long time after meeting by Volos Jonasson. Skaven Lineman, 0 SPP.
"Another unskilled player? Come on, Jim, where are the good ones?"

Image Kirp the Lamuellan Fisher, cut right open by Laritheil Long-Knife. Skaven Lineman, 7 SPP.
"A fishy rat? What's all that about?"

Image Teacake, toasted, buttered and exquisitely fouled by Xenopus Laevis IIIIII. Undead Mummy, 20 SPP.
"That rookie frog jumped and jumped and jumped and just wouldn't stop until Teacake was an unappealing mess, didn't he?"
"Well, Teacake seriously injured four players last season but couldn't kill any of them. You can't tease the Curse of the Death Watch for too long, Jim..."


Image Leptobrachium Smithi IIII, Block by Semla. Slann Lineman, 0 SPP.
"Speaking of frogs, Bob."
"Speaking of unskilled players, Jim. What kind of week was this?"
"Oh don't worry, Bob. I have a premonition next week is going to be packed full of stars..."


Predictions update
At the end of week 1, as predicted both the Wattlebay Warblers and the Funeral Catering Services had already sustained serious casualties. Neither team is currently close to the Glass Cannon Glass Cannon, because although they're shipping injuries like a leaky boat, they're failing to hurt anyone else. Labrat Elysium had a poor showing, with a single injury when their blitzer tripped over his shoelaces.

Official Comment From Our Sponsors
While saddened to heat of Guzzla's injury, Underworld Armour have to stress that if he'd been wearing a pair of our new Gore-Techs shoes, he definitely wouldn't have fallen down and smashed his hand. Remember, the official shoelace of the Southern Waste Leagues is the Underworld Armour Deadly Twine All rights reserved, no guarantee of safety for any player wearing any Gore-Techs slip-on or jandal

Both Butter Dishes are currently wide open. 24 teams have suffered at least one serious injury this week, but who will be the last, and who will take the least and the most?

Meanwhile Muffin is well ahead in the race to grasp the Terrifying Chamberpot of Doom. Will he be holding it with both hands come the end of week 7?

Oh, to have our O where it belonged, afore ye needlessly and cruelly inserted your A!

Please cease and desist your slanndelouse misspelling of our phibianlouse Nom de Nomnomnomnom, or we'll go Toadily nuts on you, Jimmeh!

We interrupt regular programming for an Important message for all coaches - Harrison Bergeron Protocol enacted!

"Jim, what's a Harrison Bergeron Proctologist?"
"Protocol, Bob, protocol?"
"OK, what's a protocol?"
"It's a, hmm, let me see ...
'a phylum or group of phyla that comprises the single-celled microscopic animals, which include amoebas, flagellates, ciliates, sporozoans, and many other forms. They are now usually treated as a number of phyla belonging to the kingdom Protista.'"
"Jim, I didn't understand a word of that. It sounds like you were just making a list of everyone who played for Skye Hoppers! over the last six seasons."
"Well, funny you should say that, Bob. The Harrison Bergeron Prototype is a new rule, direct from the commissioning body of the Southern Wastes League."
"Really?"
"Yes Bob, look, it's written in official green crayon on what
looks like souvenir toilet paper from the Theatre of Breams, but it says 'Official' on it, so who are we to argue?"
"But what is it?"
"Let me read it out to you, Bob:


Quote:
The commishun has reseeved notice of threatening beehavyour from Tide Pod Opprobrium, saying dat the hardworkin' scribes of the Deff Watch can't spell proper. Dat sort of fing is rude and hurtful and its not like frogs are propa greenskins anyways so what would dey noe?

As punishment, the Harrison Bergeron Protocol is enackted. All Slann players must wear a bag wot is containing no less than twenty pounds of lead shot during each game, until they learn to stop jumping around. Remember: if Nuffle wanted you leaping, he'd have given you a pogo stick, innit?.


"Well, you can't argue with an official ruling from the official commission, can you Jim?"
"Exactly. I mean, if that was that inveterate letter writing trouble maker Pinkeye Growthspurt up to no good again, that would be a different matter, but it says at the bottom that he definitely didn't write it."
"Well. Let's see what Tadpole Obliteration and the other Slann teams in the league have to say about that! You know what, Jim?"
"What, Bob?"
"I think they're going to be hopping mad!"

SWL DEATHWATCH SEASON LXXXI WEEK TWO

"Jim, we have to do something about those flashing lights, they're giving me a migraine."
"Never mind the lights, Bob, what are we going to do with all these frogs infesting the studio?"
"Oh those? They came with some thank-you note we got from Town-Hall Pantomime Dome."
"A thank-you note? Town-Hall Panto - Bob, let me see - ...


'Keep this up and you'll see what you get'

Does that sound like a thank-you note to you, Bob?"
"Well, it sounds pretty encouraging to me."
"Enough of this nonsense. Get those slimy brutes out of here and let's get on with the Death Watch!"


Starting this week with a superstar..."
"You know, Jim, you should get your eyes tested. That doesn't look like the tentacular spectacular of the Northern Seas, does it?"
"Is somebody messing with us, Bob?"

Image Kiroth Krakeneye, played with by Golem Pokémon. Chaos Beastman, 0 SPP.

Image Herbad Lim, tripped over his own shoelaces dodging. Lizardman Skink, 46 SPP.
"We'd just like to take the opportunity here to say unequivocally, once and for all, that Herbad Lim was not sponsored by Underworld Armour and certainly wasn't wearing any of their fine footwear. Say that like you mean it or we break your kneecaps."
"Bob! You don't read everything from the autocue!"



Arboreal Enthusiasts Section
Image Tommy Thorn, surfed into the crowd. Wood Elf Thrower, 7 SPP.
"There'll be a few green fingers tonight, Jim!"
"Again, Bob, I have no idea what you mean and I really don't want to."


Image Harold Hothawk, seasoned by Salty Dog Seldon. Wood Elf Lineman, 2 SPP.
"Like they say, Bob, Hothawk, delicious cold."
"Who says that, exactly?"
"Oh, just the chef at the Flesheater Courts Bar & Grill..."


Image Armanz Hemlockmaker, unpicked by Scabby. Wood Elf Wardancer, 10 SPP.
"Usually they leap around, but that one was just flicked away."
"Bob, I'm trying to eat a sandwich here."


Image Caolan Redcedar, burst open by Pus. Wood Elf Lineman, 0 SPP.
"Eurgh. Is that sap that got squeezed out of Redcedar?"
"No, that's Pus. Definitely Pus."


Wood Elf Section Ends. For this week.

Image Steve Austin, wrecked by Tyzusk the Wreckage. Chaos Beastman, 13 SPP.
Steve Austin is stone cold, alright!"
"Er, alright, Bob...?"


Image Mankind, died failing to go for it. Chaos Warrior, 0 SPP.
"Ahem. Once again we have to state categorically that no players found falling over on the pitch suffered injuries due to Underworld Armour sporting equipment. Don't muck about we know where your family -"
"Bob!"


Image Sid "Hero" Vicious, blocked by Erramulla. Necromantic Zombie, 2 SPP.
"I saw an interview with Sid once on cabalvision. I got so mad I put my foot through the screen and sent the BBC the bill."
"What have the Blood Bowl Community got to do with that?"
"Everything, Bob, everything."


Image Kommander Kuddles, cuddled on the ground by nemko. Norse Ulfwerener, 0 SPP.
"Would you believe it, Jim? Another spandex and not-much-else Norseman, crushed beneath the boots of the Redskins."

Image Pablo, the Moneychanger, Block by Impak. Norse Berserker, 41 SPP.
"First impact from Impak in a long time, isn't that, Jim?"
"You're right, Bob. Almost a season since he killed anyone, and the last one was a Skink, so that hardly counts."
"Now, Pablo is a victim of the Curse of the Death Watch."
"Bob, that's ridiculous. He never even killed anyone."
"Exactly, Bob! He broke a few ribs, gouged the odd eye, but he never gave the Death Watch what it wanted."
"Er. OK, Bob. Moving on..."


Image Dusdin Gnaws, hit by a rock from the crowd. Skaven Lineman, 0 SPP.
"They're really into their audience participation this season, aren't they, Jim?"
"Yes, you could say Gnaws is sores!"
"Er, no, Jim, that doesn't make any sense."


Image Megophrys Nasuta IIIIII, deflated by Balloon Animalist. Slann Lineman, 14 SPP.
"As I keep saying, the only good frog is a -"
"Bob, stop it! We're in enough trouble already without you -"
"I was only going to say they're lovely ..."
"Ah, that's better."
"... fried with a bit of butter and some shallots and -"
"Bob!!!"


Image Cinnamon II, manhit by Menhit. Undead Zombie, 0 SPP.

Image Cleone, artifically sweetened by Boysenberry Swirl. Underworld Goblin, 0 SPP.
"Another rookie goblin dies. Got something to say about that, Bob?"
"I got nothing."
"No witty ripostes?"
"No."
"Sardonic interludes?"
"No."
"Touching eulogies?"
"Jim, there's all these four legged greenskins hopping around the studio. It's a bit hard to concentrate on one more..."


Image George Truelightning, conducted by Sram, Senior Edificer. Amazon Linewoman, 0 SPP.
"An Amazon? Called George?"
"Don't be so sexist, Bob. Clearly Georgina."
"Clearly a Norseman in a miniskirt, Jim. I tell you they're dodgy..."


Predictions update
In surprise news, Pugs Not Drugs seem intent on snatching the You Can Take It But You Can't Dish It Out Butter Dish, having sustained 6 deaths and serious injuries in the first two rounds without so much as fracturing an eye or gouging a rib on the opposition. Surely that's got to change by the end of the season? Salute of the Jugger and the Waaaaghton Redskins, at either end of the Southern Wastes Leagues, are in strong competition for the You Can Dish It Out But Can You Take It Butter Dish, again with six serious injuries and deaths each.

The Terrifying Chamberpot of Doom has got some shoelaces wrapped around it. I'm sure that means an endorsement by our kind sponsors, Underworld Armour, and not a suggestion that more players are dying by tripping and falling than from anything else...

And finally, the prized Glass Cannon Glass Cannon: Labrat Elysium have yet to put anything on the leaderboard, the Funeral Catering Services have lost more players than they've damaged, and we see nothing from the Warblers except a couple of dead and broken hobbits. Looking like We'reWho! and Bun Dead may be in with a chance, if the Blackwater Cockfighters don't keep up their perfect 4-for-4 record!

"Ouch, Bob. Bitter, much? It's not like he was an ogre slayer."
"Some of my best friends are Orks, Jim."


Image Zharduk Copperclaw, Block by Mornelithe Falconsbane. Chaos Dwarf Blocker, 7 SPP.

Image Merc Black Orc Blocker (), fouled by Tebec. Orc Black Orc Blocker, 0 SPP.
It's sad when a player achieved so little in his life that he didn't even deserve a hyperlink on the team page...

Image Sram, Senior Edificer, blocked by Benjy the Mouse. *Chaos Dwarf Blocker, 23 SPP.
"Now an edifice, Jim? That's a big building, right? Like a mausoleum, say?"
"Yes Bob. Those are good words, nice long words."
"And that Edificer is having a nice long stay in that mausoleum. Which it says here is a graveyard owned by a German mouse, right?"


Image David Whiteorc, had a proper medical once-over from The Good Doctor, pronounced doubly dead on arrival. Necromantic Zombie, 0 SPP.

One for the nostalgia department
Image Das Boot, permanently sunk Dave Loveridge. Undead Zombie, 0 SPP.

"Struck down by the Curse of the Death Watch after she killed that poor little frog, Xenopus Laevis IIIII, last season..."
