TRANSCRIPT
“Welcome sports fans! I’m Jim Johnson and we have some special
coverage for you this weekend! The Mighty Blighty Underleague returns
for a new season draft, a sporting event like no other, where we get to see
the up and coming teams for this years Blood Bowl season. For those
teams just starting out on their journey to the Blood Bowl, this event is a
great chance to test their mettle against others doing just the same. Bob
Bifford is here to tell you more.”
“Thanks Jim. Even with the newer players taking to the field it won’t
take long for the carnage to flow! The tackles are just as hard, the runs
are just as glorious, the players are just as dirty, and that’s before we
start talking about the experienced coaches! For those of you interested
in seeing the Blood Bowl champions of the future taking their first steps
to fame, this is the event for you.”
Blood Bowl Mighty Blighty Underleague is an event for the new season of Blood Bowl coaches to
play a series of games against like-minded opponents. The aim of this event is fun, where you and
your opponent have a great time no matter the outcome.
Are experienced Blood Bowl coaches still welcome? Of course! All we ask is that you approach this
event with the right intentions, to make sure any newer coaches can learn the game and have a
good time.
During the day we ask you to keep an eye out for crazy and spectacular displays of sporting
prowess. At the end of the event we will hand out loads of fun and interesting awards for coaches
who’ve achieved this. This event isn’t a cup or tournament, it’s about the experience and taking the
next steps in the game.
Event Essentials:
Date: Saturday 19th May 2018
System: Blood Bowl
What To Bring: Models, rosters, dice, templates, rulebooks.

Model Requirements
Playing exciting, atmospheric games with fully painted miniatures is a big part of our events at Warhammer World. Therefore
all miniatures in your collection must be Games Workshop miniatures and be fully assembled, painted and based. Each mod-
el must fully represent what you have presented on your Roster Sheet. For example, there must be a clear distinction between
Linemen, Throwers, Blitzers etc. We will politely ask you to remove any models that don’t meet these standards to protect eve-
ryone’s experience.
Furthermore, please contact us to let us know about any conversions or proxies you are planning on using, and provide us
with photos of the models in question where possible. Don’t worry, we fully appreciate awesome hobby skills and cool mod-
els, but we just want to make sure everything is super clear for your opponent and no confusion can arise during games.
Any time we refer to a ‘coach’, that
means you!
Any time we refer to a ‘player’,
that means the rabble you call
Blood Bowl models!
We understand that many new coaches will be getting to grips with the game, and are therefore on hand
to support you. However we ask coaches to have a basic understanding of the rules for this event in order
to play the games. A few games of Blood Bowl beforehand will improve the experience for you and your
opponent!
There will be 3 games of Blood Bowl during the day. Your opponent for each game is randomly generated
and your table number will be displayed at the start of each round. Simply head to your table, meet your
opponent, and get stuck in!
When selecting your team, we will be using the rules set out under ‘Creating A Blood Bowl Team’ on
page 22 of Blood Bowl The Official Rules. Here are some key points:
1,000,000 gold pieces starting treasury.
Star players MAY NOT be purchased for this event.
Teams available are those contained within ’The Inaugural Blood Bowl Almanac’ and ‘Blood Bowl
The Official Rules’.
All details of your team must be recorded on a Team Roster. This can be found on page 23 of The
Official Rules.

The ‘Time Limit’ and the ‘Illegal Procedure‘ rules are NOT in use at this event.
All players will make a full recovery after each game.
To add a little extra carnage, before the first game and in the presence of their opponent, coaches may
select one player on their team and roll 2D6. If the roll is a double, they may give that player a
relevant Double Skill. Otherwise, they may give that player a relevant Single Skill. This is done again
before game 2 and 3 so that by the last match, your team will have 3 extra skills!
