Albion teams are a curiosity in sevens as a stunty team that don't have access to the big guy. On paper this would seem to handicap them but what they do have is positional players with GS access and no negatraits there. A slow and steady positional mix but with the four ST4 players they can easier bully a lot of sides, especially once the selected Beserkers/Fen Guard start to progress.




The negative of both of these rosters is the lack of a bench leaves you with few ball handlers should the opponent remove the pixies, and that's going to happen. They do help you build to the future though as you can hopefully start getting skills on the others to make them better at their roles, namely hitting things and protecting their little assitants!

Association Futbowel is the first entirely unique roster introduced to the Cabalvision Superstar Series. Another variation of the sport from the misty isles of Albion where traditionally the players refuse to use their hands. Unfortunately there isn't much money in this game and so the top teams from Albion have begun training their sides for Blood Bowl, preferring to play the 7s game to the regular one as it slightly increases their chances of surviving the match.

The core of your team are made up of Hatchet Men, these cloggers might have got a lot of trouble playing for sides like Hobgoblincaster United or 1860 Munorch but their ability to put the boot in while a player is on the floor translates nicely to the Blood Bowl field. Expect disciplinary issues but if they can take out players then it's considered a fair swap for the team.

The goalie is the one player used to handling a ball and so can be a sturdy back line and core for the team. Long kicks down field to pin the back line as well as spraying the ball around and some semblance of handling. The goalie won't win you a game on his own but a solid goalie leading the line is a boon to any side.

Galacticos bring flair and excitement to the side with their pace and agility, unfortunately they tend not to like a scrap and prefer to just do the exciting stuff and leave the grunt work to the rest of the side. They do have a sneaky side that can really assist the cloggers though but prefer to be gloryhounds like the legendary gnoll, Barkinho.

Midfield Generals are there to control the game. They cut off passes and make sure their men don't get past them. They have all the tools to fill any roll the side needs whether they become an enforcer kike Gerhard Mullorc, a quarterback like Mikhael Garrick or a make shift hacker like Vinny Bones they are very flexible cogs in the machine.

Finally we have the big men leading the line, they can gather the ball and hold it up while flair players come in or bludgeon their way through defenders with the ball. They might lack the pace but with ogres like Petra Crouchie showing nice touches for big men they're far from one trick donkeys.





Association Futbowelers are pretty useful on the Blood Bowl pitch with an interesting mix of starting skills and growth potential. Players may not last long in the rough and tumble more physical game but they can be effective when used to the best of their abilities.

Araby are a team with a lot of potential straight out of the box. They have rare access to a player with leader and with a variety of options to try and get the most out of them. They are lightly armoured for the most part but have a mixture of skill access and abilities that can make them difficult to deal with.



There is an option of flexibility with this team, the players come with an interesting mix of skills so can work around most situations with different mixes of skill access and assets available to the team. They might have been used to playing a different sport but can easily adapt to most situations.

Avelorn are a team with few options on the roster but with a sturdy starting block. They can easily become the top passing team with combinations of Sisters supported by lightning fast Handmaidens who can swiftly become as, if not more dangerous as the team progresses.





The Sisters of Avelorn are one of the best passing sides in the game and will take a lot to handle right from the off. A good team will be very hard to bring down and control, even worse after some time!

Beastmen are an interesting case where their linemen actually cost more than a positional option with the downside of a rookie Chaos team in that they come relatively unskilled out of the box. The upshot is that they can add a bit of punch and with mutation access grow to a strong position.





Beastmen sound like a more difficult prospect and a lack of core skills from the off may make them a slow starter but once mutations and skills start to roll in could become a very daunting prospect on the sevens pitch.

As one would expect from Elves, Black Ark have expensive players but bags of potential and agility to be able to spray the ball around and play around space. With high mobility but relatively weak armour finding the balance and playing the ball around will be the key to victory.





Black Ark teams suffer a little with their high cost and low armour. They need to be evasive early on and can't afford a Re-Roll from the start which makes that dodging game hard. Once they build up the core skills and can play with a little more reliability they should be a strong side in the sevens format.

Black Dwarf teams have a lot of options and not a lot of pace. It means that an opponent is going to want to get away and keep as much space between you and the ball/their players and hope you can't catch them. Around that are very strong players with a good selection of core skills from the off.



Black Dwarf teams are going to be outpaced by near every team and will struggle to keep up the pace. Your best chance is to stifle the opposition and keep things under control, try and reduce their options and bring them down to your level. It's not a pretty game but park the bearded bus and you can get results.

Border Princes teams are good at staying around that little bit longer, courtesy of their Thick Skulls and as a bonus have got options for core skills across the board to help avoid turn-overs. A very solid team out of the box.




Border Princes can be very easily customised from the beginning, it would even me an option to start the team with 7 linemen, two Re-Rolls and then begin to pick up your positionals with prize money. It'll be a slow start but once the team is up and running they have a lot of room for growth.

Cathay boast a fairly flexible squad who will be hard to keep under control, they can deny space, stop you mobbing them and move the ball around with ease. Underestimate them at your peril



I have only offered the one selection here but it is very much down to coaches option as to if they would prefer to go with monks or monkeys when it comes to making up their squad how they would build differently, either positional can be very useful on either side of the ball so very much a personal preference.

Centigors are a tough team to do well with in the normal game, taking them on the sevens field is even harder. Your ball carriers are weak and squishy and their muscle is likely to just stand there while someone comes in for the sack. Finding a balance is the first obstacle to overcome before challenging for results.



At best, Centigor teams are a challenge, at their worst you'll be deleting Java and forgetting Fumbbl even exists. When you can get them going they can be very rewarding though and if treated like a stunty team that core of Ungors can be very capable of causing an upset.

Ethereal teams on first glance look great with AG5 linemen, the titchy and lack of hands working against them. They can form a decent line but a high agility team with RR protection could dodge through that line and hit the ball carrier. Losing the positionals could become a nightmare for the team leaving you in the dire position of hoping you can play out a 0-0 draw until you can replace one of the expensive positionals. Definitely a challenging team - You have been warned




Ethereal will struggle a lot and go through a difficult period when fresh, once you're able to begin getting skills around in order to protect your ball handlers they should begin to improve. Positionals are expensive, so do all you can to keep them safe.

Unified Nippons 7s are a strong roster. Basically regular humans, but less focused on an aerial game and more a Dark Elf defensive style, where they create a chance and steal the ball. Combining the regular and Northern Nippon positionals allows a myriad of starting options, depending on if you want a more agile speed game, or a slower bashier game.



Thank you to Sokeeffe who's early testing developed quite a scary team for people to deal with for this write up.

The Nuln Engineers Guild are often working on the best devices for use on the Blood Bowl field. They experiment on the field with them and the foundries are steadily increasing their workload towards bringing in the tourists to their games and tournament play.

The roster itself does have similarities with similar sides from lesser races and claims they've been talking to the dwarf engineers in Zhufbar are completely unfounded.
