What We're Upto This Week! RSS

Technically speaking, Blood Bowl should be considered a more of a league than a wargame. A sports league, of powerful individuals from different races across the Warhammer universe.  It makes for a quick and fascinating game of brutal violence, intertwined with a casualties box, as well as a penalty box for when things get really out of line, and you always gotta keep an eye on the ball.  We have a dedicated group of coaches in every Wednesday night, so if you're ever interested in learning, make sure you come along!Fight fair, Morgan and the team from Valkyrie Games.
