Hobgoblin Heros
P [R] Chaos Dwarf



The Hobgoblin Heroes, or "zeros" as they are known to their legion of fans, are a big joke in bloodbowl circles. The team was formed by Arty Gouldman in some shady dealing after he was bribed to put up oposition that would not compete with a rookie team of shuffling zombies and flesh golems.

The coach earned far more in the fee he was payed to set up the match than for his coaching fee, and so he continued to pursue this source of income. Since the match was not 'fixed' in the traditional way with players taking a dive, he could not get in trouble with league officials, the team is simply too inept to win games. Usually the only teams who wish to play the Hobgoblin Heros are teams just formed looking for their first real game on a bloodbowl pitch or occasionaly a team that due to injuries is down to only 6 or 7 players, though this does little to help the Zeros win. To keep the team alive, (or atleast within the constraints of the number of replacement hobgoblins he can recruit in time for their next game) this guideline is strongly enforced by Gouldman to protect his income from gambling on the zeros.

Gouldman makes enormous sums in the sweepstakes he runs with Zeros fans, who turn out in droves to bet on which player will incur the most brocken bones or fumble the most times in a match. The high attendance at their matches, and their jeers as their the player they have in the "Zeros Death Bingo" get blocked are mistaken by the Hobgoblin players as cheers of loving support.

The heros are therefore blissfully unaware they are a hoax team, the laughing stock of bloodbowl, and are infact some of the most ego-filled hobgoblins in the sport and they each relish in their 15 minutes of stardom (the approximate time a zeros player spends on the pitch during his career before he succums to death on the field or dismemberment by fans who had them in the Death Bingo and decide to take matters into their own hands if they don't think their bet will pay off on its own.

When team management announced they were looking at recruiting some chaos dwarf blockers the fans objected, saying that with dwarves to take the blocks and protect the hobgoblins the odds of their players number coming up in the ZDB would be drastically reduced, and so to keep their fans, and the enormous ZDB gambling income, the Hobgoblin Heros never include other players. Unfortunately under current league rules (4.0) this restricts them to only 12 players, league officials have authorised up to 16 hobgoblin players in a team (LRB 5.0), but when this roster change can take place legally in the zero's league is currently unknown. Until then the Hobgoblin Heros remain a "dirty dozen" at most.

To date the best zeros performance was in their match against the halflings from the Playground Taxers team. The oposition were well supplied with pastries by their large array of cooks, and many of them left the field to partake in the buttery goods. Down 1-0 at halftime, before long the zeros were playing against only 6 of the halflings and 8 turns later, just as the other team was preparing to leave, managed to score against the half depleted halfing team to tie the game 1-1, the first time they have not lost a game, much to the surprise of their fans.
