Blood Bowl: Princess Owayanna Tourney Report - Humans vs. Khemri




Lord Summervale: Welcome to the opening match of the Princess Owayanna Bottled Healing Waters Tournament. Today, we are going to The Citadel, home of the Nottingham Nobles. They will be taking on the Forever Jackals of Khemri.

Mad Johan: We have seen hard hits from both of these teams, but the Nobles have proven to be a bit fragile in pre-season.

Lord Summervale: That's true Johan. Under their captain Rick Priestley they were decimated by the Skulsmash Reeverz but got their feet under them playing the Cheez-Ballerz.

Mad Johan: Meanwhile, in pre-season the Forever Jackals lost a close first game after some embarrassing ball handling... or lack there of.

Lord Summervale: ….but they brought the pain against a heavily armored Chaos Goat Herderz team. The hits were big and if they keep it up, will be on the highlight reels for a long time to come.

Mad Johan: It is all going to come down to who can keep their players in the game and scoring more touch downs.

Lord Summervale: With that bit of wisdom, let's get kicked-off. The Nobles are going to kick it to the Jackals to get the game started. ….. Boom! There is the kick!

Anoobis drops back and picks up the ball. The skeletons of the line move up and start to create a cage for Anoobis while the Tomb Guardians start to push the humans back.

Mad Johan: Here comes the Nobles Blitzer Jervis Johnson.... POW! He has flattened Anoobis and forced the ball loose!


Lord Summervale: I think Anoobis' head just popped off. He is stumbling towards the sidelines for help.

Mad Johan: Look at the violence inherent in the system! This scrum for the ball is getting vicious. Skeletons and Humans are being tossed around like straw men. Players are crawling off the field or laying stunned on the field.


Lord Summervale: Finally, Andy Chambers manages to pull the ball from the scrum and breaks across mid-field. He finds Gav Thorpe nearby and dumps it off to him. He begins to streak down the field with one eye on the clock for the end of the first half.


Mad Johan: The Jackals are all out of position.

Lord Summervale: Gav Thorpe ends the first half of the game by walking into the endzone for a Nobles touch down.


Mad Johan: With the Forever Jackals kicking it to the Nobles in the second half, the Khemri team is in a tough spot.

Lord Summervale: Indeed Johan. The Nobles lead the Forever Jackals by 1, Let's go back to the Cabalvision IV studios for a breakdown of more Blood Bowl action across the Old World. Our sponsors Guillotine Razors remind you that nothing shaves closer than a Guillotine.

* * * * *

Lord Summervale: Welcome back to our main event game from the Princess Owayanna Healing Bottled Water Tournament. The Nottingham Nobles lead the Forever Jackals by 1 touch down. The Jackals will be kicking off to the Nobles to start the second half.

Mad Johan: The first half was a bruising battle of bashing. The Forever Jackals lost many of their key players to the dug-out, but the Nobles took a beating too.


Lord Summervale: I expect the second half to be just as rough. The Jackals kick it up, and Rick Priestly recovers the ball. The Humans take their time and set up a cage.

Mad Johan: They are putting on a clinic of ball control and execution. The Forever Jackals are desperate to knock the ball lose, but the Nobles are not going to let that happen.


Lord Summervale: Indeed. They have managed to steam roll their way through the flank of the Forever Jackals.

Mad Johan: I think the Noble's blitzer Mat Ward just obliterated Mum-skull. The skeleton literally came apart on the field from that hit!

Lord Summervale: The Khemri Tomb Guardians have managed to maintain control of the line, but the Nobles bypassed them on the flank and are grinding their way to the end zone.

Mad Johan: Even Ra-Men the Unspoiled can't slow down the train as he is gang tackled and brought low by a horde of Nobles players!


Lord Summervale: Again, as the second half comes to a close the Nobles Andy Chambers carries the ball across the end zone for another score, and sealing the Human teams victory in the tournament!


Mad Johan: As the game comes to a close, I am getting an sideline injury report. It looks like I was right, Mum-skull was completely knocked to pieces and all of the Pharoah's men can not put him back together again! In addition, Ra-Men the Unspoiled had his arm broken and will not be available for the next game. However, it didn't go all the Nobles' way as Lineman Nigel Stillman was badly injured as well.


Lord Summervale: Well, for the Nobles Nigel will probably be back for the next game of the Tournament. The Forever Jackals will have plenty of time to heal up as they will be spectators for the rest of the Tournament.

Mad Johan: Congratulations to Rick Priestley and his team as they advance to the Semi-finals.

Lord Summervale: Stay here on Cabalvision IV to see the next exciting match-up in the Princess Owayanna Bottled Healing Waters Tournament, also sponsored by Guillotine Razors and Bloodweisser. Next up will be Da' Rat Packers versus the Skulsmash Reeverz. Stay tuned!

Blood Bowl: Match Report- Khemri vs. Chaos- Exhibition Play

The Forever Jackals was a Khemri team I made-up from Warhammer Fantasy Battle Skeleton box set a few years back.  It uses extensive green stuff and a liberal use of bitz to get them ready for the astro-granite.  I even completely sculpted a model or two.  Blood Bowl purists will note that the team still uses the square bases of WHFB instead of being converted to round bases.  What can I say, I am cheap!  I bitz bashed a Skaven team in a similar manner as well. 

You can see the scale difference between the old teams.  The new ones are much bigger, and make even the tomb guardians seem tiny in comparison.  Oh well.  I am still going to use those old-scratch built teams!  This might even be the Khemri's second or third time on the pitch!
* * * * *

Lord Summervale: We at Cabalvision IV are happy to bring you the latest updates from around the Blood Bowl circuit.  Welcome back as we take a closer look at pre-season play in the Deep North League- Southern Regional Conference. 

Our coverage will start with a hard-hitting contest between the Chaos Goat Herders vs. the Khemri Forever Jackals. 

Mad Johan: Hard-hitting is right Summervale.  At times both teams had 4 or more players in the dug-outs!

Lord Summervale: Khemri is led by their team captain the mummy Pharoah Far-Tu-Komen, and has an impressive frontline of two other mummies and two bltiz-ra!  However, someone has to carry the ball, so the thrower Anoobis rounds out their positionals. 

Meanwhile, the Chaos Goat Herders didn't even bother to give us their line-up.  They said something about "Blood for the Blood God" when our reporters tried to get the details.  According to one witness, our Cabalvision IV grot was lucky to get out of the locker room alive!

Mad Johan: Well, you can bet those crazies from the Chaos Wastes will be coming to smash some face.  Plus, I am sure their team will try too. 

Lord Summervale: You are quite the Blood Bowl mind Johan, as that is exactly what they did.  The initial kick-off went to the Chaos team, and one of their beastmen runners picked it up.

Mad Johan: The Goat Herders showed an amazing amount of discipline and made a cage pretty early.  They then methodically marched down the field smashing skeletons as they went. 

Lord Summervale: Well, Pharoah Far-Tu-Komen and his gang got their share of hits in too.  I am pretty sure those Chaos Warriors are not use to getting manhandled like that! 

Mad Johan: Yeah, there will be plenty of big hits on the highlight reels from this game! 

Lord Summervale: The Chaos Goat Herders managed to pound the ball down field for the score.  However, the cost to both teams had been pretty high. 

Mad Johan: In the closing moments of the first period, Anoobis the Khemri thrower embarrassed himself pretty good.  He couldn't even manage to pick-up the ball much less engineer a drive.  He would have been pretty red in the face.... but you know....

Lord Summervale: Indeed.  In the second half, the Forever Jackals received and Anoobis managed to pick-up the ball early. 

Mad Johan: This time, it was the Khemri's turn to bring the cage!

Lord Summervale: It worked pretty well, and they managed to get past mid-field when a sneaky beastman managed to slip behind and hammer old Anoobis. 

Mad Johan: Alas Anoobis, I knew him well!

Lord Summervale: There was a huge scrum for the ball.  I am surprised no one got ejected with the business that was going on in that pile-up! 

Mad Johan: It's pre-season for the refs too.  That or they were afraid of all those blood-crazed Chaos fans? 

Lord Summervale: Somehow, a beastman came out of the scrum with the ball. and made a beeline for his end zone. 

Mad Johan: I wonder how many demonic pacts it took for that to happen?

Lord Summervale: At the very end of the second half, the Chaos Goat Herderz managed to score a second time.  They went on to win 2-0 over the Khemri Forever Jackals. 

Mad Johan: More importantly, both teams had two players in the casualty box at the end of the game.  I thought that Skulsmash Reever vs Rock-N-Roller game was brutal.  It doesn't hold a candle to this one!     

Lord Summervale: It makes me look forward to the regular season!  The League champion might be the only team with enough players left to field a team! 

Tune in next time, as regular Season Coverage of the Deep North League kicks-off and as always remember to drink the blood of your enemies responsibly!  See you next time here at Cabalvision IV.

Now that my family and I have given just about all the teams a try once, I figure it is about time to get the family league going.  Good-bye Exhibition play and hello League play.  However, I wouldn't mind getting one more team, either Elven Union or Dark Elves before starting the league, so we will see what happens.
