Our wargaming club has just started its 10th Anniversary Blood Bowl League and one of the ideas was to have coaches bring back their very first team (also new and old players could just start with a new team) I decided to bring back my Amazon team - The Lustrian Snake Queens.
This 10th League was going to be a tough slog with some very high team valued Chaos and Necromantic teams, very highly skilled Elven and Skaven teams as well as some tough Human, Norse and Lizardmen teams.

My first conference game was against a brand new Undead Starter team who would be bringing Ramtut and Hack en Slash Star Players to the pitch as inducements.
The weather was nice, the fans were screaming for carnage and the commentators were ready...so lets play BLOODBOWL!!!!!

Recovering from the quick actions of the Undead, the Snake
Queens charge into the Raiders and take out Hack en Slash in revenge. Ramtut
steams downfield and covers the Amazon Thrower, a Mummy blitzes but just pushes
his opponent.


The Amazons kick off and the ball goes high and a Ghoul gets
underneath it but fails the catch, scooping the ball up on its second attempt
the Ghoul makes a move to put in a pass but realises it is out of range.


Both teams run back out onto the pitch and second half is
underway. The Amazons kick the ball and whilst it is in the air they set up a
Perfect Defence. The Undead players smash into the Snake Queens line but only
manage to push a few players around. In reply a Blitzer dodges through some
Zombies and takes out a Ghoul causing another CAS.

A huge scum in the middle of the pitch takes place with both
teams trying to get someone available to control the ball. A Zombie finally
somehow comes up from the seething mass of players with the ball but its quickly
loose again as the Zombie is smashed to the ground and the Amazons pick the
ball up.
During the scrum a Mummy managed to KO a Blitzer but its too
little too late as the Raiders watch the deft Snake ladies slither round the
pitch and launch the ball downfield, again easily caught and run in again for
the Snake Queens to Score TOUCHDOWN 3-0.
The whistle blows and the game is over. The Raiders have
been soundly beaten and it’s been a painful lesson and welcome to the league.
Well done the Snake Queens!
ReplyDeleteThanks Fran, although my poor opponent was fairly new to the game and had a starting team. Some tougher matches coming up soon.
DeleteStill my favourite game from GW. Unfortunately no other players in our club. Many thanks for bringing those memories back with your nice report.
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way a very nice set of miniatures for your serpent amazons. What company are they from?
