Coaching Staff

There are several types of coaching staff available. A team may hire an apothecary, up to ten cheerleaders, up to ten assistant coaches and up to two positional coaches.

At the end of a match an apothecary can cure serious injury or death on one player with a d6 roll of a 2+.

Assistant coaches provide bonuses on certain kick off table results. Additionally when rolling for special play cards at the beginning of the match the team should roll a d6 for each pair of assisstant coaches. For each 6 they roll, the team may draw an additional dirty trick.

Cheerleaders provide similar bonuses, however for each 6 the team may draw a random event instead. Additionally for each 5 cheerleaders a team has their fan factor increases by 1 for home games, for all purposes including the gate roll.

Positional coaches provide additional rerolls. They can only be used once in a match, but they can be used in the same turn as a normal team reroll. Like team rerolls they can only be used in the teams own turn. The reroll works automatically for home games, but on a 4+ for away games. There are five types.

Position	Type of Roll
Rushing	Dodges, Exerts
Blocking	Blocks, Dauntless rolls, Foul Appearance rolls
Fouling	Fouls, Stabs, Argue the Call rolls.
Passing	Passes, Catching passes, Safe Throw rolls
Handling	Picking up, Catching bouncing balls

At the end of every season, roll a d6 for each member of coaching staff. On a 1 they retire.

Retired players can be assigned to become an assistant coach or a positional coach. To become a positional coach they must possess at least one of three skills relevant to that position, as follows;

Position	Skill
Rushing	Dodge or Sprint or Sure Feet
Blocking	Block or Dauntless or Tackle
Fouling	Dirty Player or Sneaky Git or Stab
Passing	Pass or Catch or Dump Off
Handling	Sure Hands or Strip Ball or Nerves of Steel

Errata

Other changes from the LRB are highlighted here, as well as certain features of the LRB that it seems to be worth highlighting.

The illegal procedure rule is not in effect. Coaches should make an effort to remember their turn counters and remind each other where necessary.

The kick off table should be rolled before scattering the ball. The result should still be resolved before the ball bounces.

Any player actions that have ocurred since the last dice roll may be taken back. Any action that involved a dice roll should not be taken back. If an action is interrupted by a special play card it may not be adjusted.

You may only use team (and coach) rerolls on your own team's turn. This includes turns gained by use of special play cards or kick off table results, but not individual actions that occur outside the normal turn order.

There is no time limit on turns. This will be reviewed if matches take too long. The other conditions that cause turnovers are as standard - it is recommended that these are read closely, especially as they apply to special play cards.

Any casualty caused by a player through a block or a foul earns SPPs. This includes pushing into the crowd, stab, secret weapons and special play cards.

Throw-ins may be intercepted, by players under the path of the ball or adjacent to the path. This does earn SPPs.

Team rerolls may not be used to reroll armour rolls that are the result of blocks. Injury rolls may not be rerolled under any circumstances.

If one team cannot field any players the game continues and the other team may either run out the clock or attempt to score as they wish. A match may not be conceded, it may only be ended early due to extreme weather, see the weather table. There is no overtime procedure in regular season play. Post-season games feature sudden death overtime.

Roster creation, the kick-off table and the weather table have been changed. See the relevant sections of the house rules

FAME is not in use. The determination of gate is done by the prior rules system, for each point of fan factor a teams coach rolls one d6. The sum of the results is the number of thousand fans that have turned up to the match. If the team's stadium does not have sufficient capacity then the gate will simply be the teams capacity.

A player may intercept in the normal positions as well as if he is adjacent to either the thrower or receiver and no more then 90 degress from the line of the pass. This may be difficult to understand from this wording, but basically common sense should rule until we can provide a diagram.

An interception roll is made before the pass roll. This seems illogical but it is an abstraction and it does work.

A fumble will occur on a natural 1 or an inaccurate throw modified to a 1 by tackle zones. No other form of modifier may cause a fumble.

When a pass action is taken a turnover only occurs if the ball is fumbled by the passer or comes to rest and is not in possession of the moving team. If the ball comes to rest in the possession of a member of the opposite team they are credited with an interception and earn SPPs.

Fouls can be rerolled with team rerolls or with rerolls from a fouling coach. If the result is a double before or after rerolling the player is sent off (ie you cannot reroll to avoid being sent off, just to break armour, you are sent off if the reroll is a double even if the first roll was not).

The casualty table has been replaced with Sigurd's Injury Table. (1-3 Badly Hurt, 4-5 Seriously Injured (roll on the SI table) 6 Dead).

Any action that earns SPPs should be recorded immediately. The player's SPP total should be updated immediately and if a new threshold is reached a skill roll should be made and a skill assigned straight away.

At the end of the match each team is award two MVPs. The random MVP should be assigned with an equal chance for each member of the team designated as active for the game. The focused MVP should be assigned with an equal chance for each player that earned SPPs during the match (not including the random MVP).

Inducements are in effect, but there are some changes. Inducements purchased by the favourite from petty cash do not count towards the TR and hence are not balanced by inducements for the underdog. The allowed inducements are;
(i) Up to 2 bloodweiser babes at 50k each.
(ii) Up to 2 additional apothecaries at 100k each. (A player may not be treated by more than one apothecary).
(iii) Unlimited Dirty Trick or Random Event special play cards at 100k each.
(iv) A single Magic Item special play card at 150k. (This is the only way for a team to take a second Magic Item other than the intervention of the Chaos Gods).
(v) Up to 4 additional rerolls at 100k each.
Bribes, Igors, Mercenaries and Journeymen are not in effect.

The post match sequence follows the same steps but each one has been heavily modified. See the house rules for the post match. Spiralling expenses are not in effect.

Post-season matches follow the same procedure as regular season matches. Inducements are still used and there are no special rewards for winning post season matches other than prestige and a good chance of Fan Factor increase.

The LRB special play cards are not used. The old Death Zone special play cards are in use. Certain cards are not permitted and should be discarded if drawn and a replacement drawn instead. Disallowed cards are; Peaked (Random Event), Bankruptcy (Random Event), Referee!! (Dirty Trick).

League Structure

The league features eight teams divided in to two conferences of four teams. The conferences are organised geographically and so the teams stay in their conferences. Each team plays the other three teams in their own conference twice, once home and once away. Each team also plays two cross conference matches against the two similarly seeded teams in the opposite conference, one home, one away.

The standings are ordered by points, with tiebreakers being head-to-head, strength of schedule, conference record, touchdown difference, casualty difference, touchdowns for, casualties against, dice roll. The post-season features semi finals and a final. The semi-finals feature the winner of each conference hosting the runner up from the opposing conference. The final takes place at a neutral location.

Fan Factor Table

At the end of the match each team should roll a d6. On a natural or modified 6 their fan factor goes up. On a natural or modified 1 their fan factor goes down. The modifiers are listed below.

Won the Match	+1
Lost the Match	-1
Team gets 2+ TDs	+1
Team gets 2+ Casualties	+1
Team has a fan factor of 10-19	-1
Team has a fan factor of 20-29	-2
Match is the semi-final	+1
Match is the final	+2

Note: It is possible to obtain a natural 1 modified to a 6. Should this happen the +1 and the -1 cancel out to leave the fan factor unchanged. Should a 12 be obtained through modifiers the team gains 2 fan factor.

Rosters

Rosters are put together by very different rules compared to LRB5.

The Draft

The inaugural draft has already taken place, and had slightly different rules to subsequent seasons. Subsequent drafts will take place at the beggining of each season. The draft will be populated at random from the player tables, each season's draft will contain 2 big guys, 6 ultra rares, 8 rares, 6 uncommons and 2 commons. The draft order will be seeded by the previous year's finishing positions.

Special Play Cards

Certain special play cards (eg. That Boy's Got Talent, Special Offer) give access to an extra player. This allows the team to add a non-ubiquitous player to their roster (TBGT does not provide the cost to sign them, SO makes them half price, yes this means SO is a better card). This follows the same procedure as the Kick-Off Table result Chosen of Chaos.

Status

A team roster has 16 slots. Players may have any of four statuses; Unsigned, Active, Injured, Reserve. Only Active players may attend games. Only Unsigned and Active players take up roster slots. At the end of each game a coach may remove one unsigned player from their roster. Draft picks are added to the roster as Unsigned players. When their cost is paid they are changed to Active. Further unsigned players may be added to the roster with rolls on the Ubiquitous and Unhelpful player tables, following the draft. Further rolls may be made on these two tables whenever there is an empty slot on a team's roster.

Secret Weapons

After the draft and roster filling rolls a single roll may be made on the secret weapons tables. This occupies a special slot on the roster, which may be cleared and rerolled only once per season. A secret weapon may be purchased and assigned to any player before or after any game.

Reserves

If a player is designated as a reserve for 3 games in a row then they leave a team and become a free agent. At the end of any season roll a d8, if the score is equal to or less than the number of games the player has been designated Reserve then the player leaves the team. They can be added as an unsigned player by another team with the use of a draft pick, or otherwise become a free agent.

Free Agents

A free agent can be purchased at the price of the original cost + modifier to become an Active player on any team. If more than one team wants to sign them then the two teams bid on the player. A free agent that is unsigned at the end of a season retires.

End of Season

At the end of each season a player must make an aging roll and a retirement roll.

Aging Roll

To see if a player ages roll a d8, if the score is less than the player's age then the player must make a roll on the aging table. There is a -1 modifier on this roll for each niggling injury the player has. There is also a -1 modifer for each 3 games a player has missed in their career.

Aging Table

If a player ages roll 2d6 on the following table.

Roll	Result
2	Roll twice
3	-1 ST
4	-1 AV
5	Lose a skill
6-8	Gain a niggling injury
9	Lose a skill
10	-1 MA
11	-1 AG
12	No aging

A lost skill should be determined randomly with each of the players current skills having an equal chance of being lost.

Retirement Roll

To see if a player retires roll a d20. If the result is zero or less then the player retires. There is a -1 modifier for each game a player has missed in their career. There is a -1 modifier for each season the player has played after their fifth (ie. -1 for the sixth season, -2 for the seventh, etc.). From their second season onwards there are also modifiers based on the number of skill rolls a player has had.

Skill Rolls	Modifier
0	-2
1	-1
2	0
3	+1
4	0
5	-1
6	-2
7	-3

After the third skill roll there is a +1 modifier if a player is within 10SPPs of their next skill.

Serious Injury Table

Every seriously injured player must be rolled for on the following table to determine the extent of the injury.

d6	Area
1-2	Arm
3-4	Leg
5	Body
6	Head

Once the injury area has been determined, a d6 must be rolled to determined the actual injury.

Skills

Errata to skills are noted here. The LRB is the main resource for skills. See the general errata for a note about casualties caused by secret weapons. Note that under the LRB most skills can be used an unlimited number of times per turn and that any skill use can be declared after the roll which it affects.

On any roll a 1 always fails and a 6 always succeeds.

The skill named 'Ball and Chain' has been renamed 'Fanatic'. A player with this skill does need to dodge to leave a tackle zone.

A player with Big Hand ignores all modifiers to picking up the ball, ie. it is always a straight AG+1 roll for them to pick up.

The Break Tackle skill may be used an unlimited number of times per turn.

The Catch skill may only be used once per turn. It may only be used once in an opponent's turn.

Weather conditions that prevent Long Bombs also prevent use of the Hail Mary Pass skill. A pass roll using Hail Mary Pass will only ever fumble on a 1, regardless of tackle zones.

If the skill Piling On is used as part of a blitz action it ends the player's movement. Piling on may only be used to reroll armour. It may not be used to reroll injury.

The skill Regenerate works on a 3+, not a 4+. The Regenerate skill may be used at any time after the injury is suffered until the end of the match. A player with the Regenerate skill may be the target of an apothecary roll, unless they have already used the Regenerate skill for that injury. A player that is the target of an apothecary roll may not use Regenerate should the apothecary fail.

Throw team mate is a strength skill, not an extraordinary skill.

A thrown team mates scatters whether or not the pass is accurate. However if the pass was inaccurate there is a -1 modifier to the landing roll. A player who lands successfully may immediately take an action, but for the remainder of the turn their MA is set to 3, if they do not take an action immediately they may not act on that turn.

A thrown player who fails to land may not take an action. If a thrown player lands on another player they automatically fail to land. The targeted player is pushed back as if by a block from the direction of the thrower.

For opposed Strength rolls triggered by the Tentacles skill the player attempting to dodge does not gain +1. However the tentacled player must score a strictly greater total to prevent the dodge.

Stunty and Regenerate are mutations, not extraordinary skills.

Access to mutations has changed slightly. Instead of a free choice a player who wishes to choose a mutation must select one of the columns on the table below to roll a d6 on.

Roll	Category 1	Category 2	Category 3
1	Regeneration	Tentacles	Very Long Legs
2	Foul Appearance	Prehensile Tail	Extra Arms
3	Disturbing Presence	Horns	Two Heads
4	Big Hand	Claw	Stunty
5	Choose from this category	Choose from this category	Choose from this category
6	Choose from any category	Choose from any category	Choose from any category

Once a mutation is rolled a player may choose not to take it. If so then they may choose another skill instead. Since they required doubles for a mutation roll they may choose a skill only available on doubles.

Stunty may only be possessed by players with ST2 or lower. A stunty player loses stunty if they gain a point of ST. A player who rolls stunty can voluntarily choose to drop to ST2 or reroll their mutation roll.

Stadia

Every team begins with no upgrades of any kind and a capacity of 35k. The capacity is the maximum number of fans that will fit into the ground.

Construction Upgrades

There are four basic stadium constructions available as well as simply expanding capacity.

Type	Cost	Capacity
Stadium	250k	40k
Grandstand	150k	20k
Terracing	100k	15k
Not-so-Grandstand	50k	5k
Capacity Expansion	15k	1k

The Stadium represents construction on all four sides/ends while each other construction applies to one particular side or both ends. If a side is chosen it must be nominated prior to the kick off. In order to purchase a Stadium for your team, you must already possess 250k worth of construction, the effects of the stadium are cumulative with effects of the upgrades 'underneath' it. [Note that due to phrasing, pushing players back onto the pitch or beating up players in the crowd are not cumulative, but affecting 'argue the call' results or gaining rerolls is.] After purchase of a stadium additional upgrades can be added 'underneath' it, to enhance capacity further.

Stadium: A stadium is the height of Blood Bowl luxury and represents a magnificent arena for the game to be played in. It has the following game effects.
i) Any home player that is pushed off the pitch may be pushed back onto the playing field using the throw-in template and is not injured on a d6 roll of 5+. The result of the block still applies.
ii) If an away player is pushed off the pitch the crowd counts as having the mighty blow skill.
iii) If the away team does not own a stadium, they must roll 7+ at the beginning of each half or lose a re-roll for the remainder of that half due to the awe felt by playing in such a major arena.
iv) The home team may roll 2d6 at the beginning of each half, a 9+ results in an extra re-roll for the remainder of the half due to the ‘lift’ of the home crowd.
v) Any attempt to argue the call by the home side has a +1 modifier.
vi) The away team may not argue the call.
Grandstand: A grandstand is a purpose built permanent structure that stretches down one side or both ends. The coach must nominate which side prior to the start of the game. Any home player pushed into this side may be pushed back onto the pitch on a d6 roll of 5+. The home side may gain an extra re-roll at the beginning of each half on a 2d6 roll of 10+. Each subsequent grandstand built reduces the target number of this roll by 1, as does building a stadium.
Terracing: The Terraces tend to attract the roughest yobbo supporters you can imagine. Nominate one side or both ends before kick-off, if any away team players are knocked off the pitch into the nominated area the crowd count as having the mighty blow skill. The home side may add +1 to any attempt to argue the call. For each subsequent terracing purchased the home team is counted as having a fan factor 1 higher for purposes of fan violence kick off results (51, 52, 55).
Not-so-Grandstand: A not-so-grandstand is a rickety and supposedly temporary structure and tends to be made of the cheapest material available. Any pitch invasion results on the kick-off table add +1 to injury rolls due to the easy availability of loose pieces of wood and metal. Due to the poor workmanship often involved, there is a risk that the structure could collapse during exciting games, roll after each TD.

Total TDs	2d6
1-2	11+
3	10+
4	9+
5	8+
6	7+

If a collapse occurs, roll 2d6, a score of 2-7 results in the home side’s Fan Factor being reduced by 1 permanently while 8-12 means the away side loses a Fan Factor permanently. After a collapse, the home coach must repair the Not-So-Grandstand at a cost of 20k or it is not usable.

At the end of each season beyond the first of ownership for each piece of construction upgrade, you must roll 2d6 on the following table with a modifier of -1 for each full year of ownership:

2d6	Result
2	Construction upgrade collapses. Remove it from your homefield.
3-4	The construction upgrade has been damaged. It now functions as the next construction upgrade down. If it is a Not-So-Grandstand or below, it collapses.
5-6	Pay 20% of the construction value of the upgrade to maintain its current status or it functions as the next construction upgrade down.
7-9	Pay 10% of the construction value of the upgrade to maintain its current status or it functions as the next construction upgrade down.
10-11	No change
12	The construction upgrade is in perfect condition. This year does not count towards years of recorded ownership.

Note that if the stadium changes in type, it retains its years of recorded ownership in its new form.

For the stadium upgrades below, a 10% charge is levied at the end of each year of ownership after the first or the upgrade falls into disrepair and is no longer usable.

Stadium Upgrades

The upgrades below require a stadium.
Stewarding:120k, trained crowd control personnel patrol the perimeter. Any time a crowd violence result occurs on the kick-off table, you may attempt to prevent its occurrence by rolling 8+ on 2d6.
Player Searches:120k, any player attempting to take the field with a secret weapon is sent off on the roll of a 5+.
Dugout Facilities: 120k, all home players recover from KOs on 3+. This effect is not compatible with Bloodweiser babes.
Walled Sidelines:120k, any player pushed off the pitch is instead pushed into a wall, place the player prone and roll for armour. If the ball bounces off the pitch, it hits the wall (it hits it on a d6 roll of 3+ if passed off the pitch and will scatter off the wall d3 squares), it will scatter 1 square. Wall scatters use the throw-in template.
Air Conditioning:50k, reduces severity of sunny weather by 3. To a minimum of 3 (maximum level is 9).
Central Heating:50k, reduces severity of snowy weather by 3. To a minimum of 3 (maximum level is 9).
Floodlights:70k, reduces severity of foggy weather by 3 levels. To a minimum of 3 (maximum level is 9).
High Walls:70k, reduces severity of windy weather by 3. To a minimum of 3 (maximum level is 9).
Glass Roof:120k, requires high walls. Ignore all effects of rainy/snowy/foggy weather. Increase the severity of any sunny weather by 1.
Opaque Roof:200k, (or 80k to upgrade from glass), requires high walls. Ignore all weather effects.

Weather Table

In order to determine the weather, roll 2d6 on the Weather Type Table. Then roll 1d8 on the appropriate weather type table to find the current level of the weather.

Weather Type Table

2	Snow
3-4	Sun
5-7	Nice
8-9	Rain
10-11	Wind

#	SNOW TABLE	Effect
1-2	Thaw	Weather is Nice.
3-6	Light Snow	No Effect
7-9	Heavy Snow	-1 MA for all players.
10	Very Heavy Snow	-2 MA for all players, -1 on picking up the ball. The ball will never bounce when landing in an empty square. It will still scatter from occupied squares.
11	Snow Storm	-2 on picking up the ball. Long bombs may not be attempted. As Very heavy snow for bouncing.
12	Blizzard	As Snow Storm. Long bombs and long passes cannot be attempted. Roll d6; 1-3 = no further effects 4-5 = each player must roll d6 before every kick-off with a 1 meaning they are too cold to play and will miss this drive 6 = as 4-5, snow is now so deep that each player must make a ST roll in order to move into any square.

#	FOG TABLE	Effect
1-2	Clear	Weather is Nice.
3-5	Haze	No effect.
6-8	Mist	Difficult to see from one end of the field to the other. Long bombs are impossible. All players gain Sneaky Git as the referee has trouble spotting fouls.
9	Deep Mist	Long passes and long bombs are impossible. As Mist for fouling.
10	Fog	As deep mist. All players have -1 MA.
11	Heavy Fog	It is difficult to see more than a few yards, Only quick passes may be attempted. -2 on all movement.
12	Pea Soup	As heavy fog. Roll d6; 1-5 = no further effects 6 = fog is so thick that any time a player moves, the square they enter will be determined by a d8 (re-roll should a player enter an occupied square). Dodges are not necessary under these conditions. Players may not pass the ball. If both coaches agree, the game may be abandoned with the current score.

#	RAIN TABLE	Effect
1-2	Dry	Weather is Nice.
3-5	Drizzle	No effect.
6-8	Rain	The ball gets slippery, -1 on all ball-handling. All players gain Strip Ball.
9	Heavy Rain	-1 on passing, -2 on all other ball-handling. Players also become slippery, all players gain +1 to dodging. Otherwise as Rain.
10	Very Heavy Rain	-2 on all ball handling. -1 on MA, otherwise as Heavy Rain.
11	Rainstorm	-2 on passing, -3 on all other ball handling. -2 on MA, all players gain stunty. No exerts are permitted, otherwise as Heavy Rain.
12	Lightning Storm	As Rainstorm. At the end of each of the kicking team's turn, roll a d6; 1-4 = no effect 5-6 = one randomly selected player on the field is hit by lightning. Roll on the injury table.

#	WIND TABLE	Effect
1-2	Still	Weather is Nice.
3-5	Breeze	No effect
6-8	Windy	-1 on all passing
9	Very Windy	-2 on all passes
10	Strong Winds	-3 on passes, when the ball bounces it goes two squares.
11	Gale Force Wind	-3 on passes, -1 on catches and interceptions (not hand-offs), as Strong Wind
12	Hurricane	As Gale Force Winds. Roll d6; 1-5 = nothing happens 6 = roll a d6 for each player and coaching staff, a 1 results in them being blown over, roll for injury. Each coach rolls another d6 and deducts that amount permanently from their fan factor. The game may continue as normal with Gale Force Wind. Hurricane results may not occur again during this game.

#	SUN TABLE	Effect
1-2	Cloudy	Weather is Nice.
3-5	Bright	No effect.
6-9	Very Sunny	-1 on AV because the players can't stand wearing the heavy equipment. AV of 7 or less does not change as it is light enough not to matter.
10	Hot and Sunny	-2 on AV, but it does not go below 6. -1 on MA.
11	Very Hot	-2 on MA, and -2 on AV (still capped at 6). Before each kick-off (after the first in the game) roll d6 for each player. On a 1 the player is too exhausted to play and must miss the next drive trying to find a shadow and cool off.
12	Sweltering Heat	-3 on MA and AV (still capped at 6). Each player must roll for exhaustion each turn. The referee might stop the match. Directly after the exhaustion rolls, roll 2d6+(1 for each player that has collapsed since the last kick-off). On a 10+ the ref blows the whistle for the last time in this game. Match ends with the current score.

In C592 a crack commando unit was sentenced to penal servitude for a crime they didn't commit. This team promptly escaped from the gladiatorial pits to the criminal underground of Middenheim, where they survive as soldiers of fortune. More recently, they formed a blood bowl team. If you have a problem, if noone else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire, the EXILES!

Orland 'Face man' Peck (Human)
Urlan 'Howling Mad' Haganbaack (Norse)

.... Any similarity to 1970s TV shows is entirely coincidental.

"They bring hope to the hopeless. Help to the helpless. Hap to the

Episode 1 No weapon like a bag of rats (part 1 of 2)

After a recent job brings unwanted attention (see pilot episode - the Cartel Caper) the Exiles need to lie low and let the heat die down. What better way to assure anonymity than by forming a blood bowl team? Despite initial protests, the Exiles soon buckle down to recruiting. Balthazaar brings in his speedy cousin Albus, Orland tries to 'recruit' Balthazaar's sister, the deadly assassin Celia, but has to be rescued in return by Radgar. Radgar wants to find his old friend Hagar, only to find he's died, and been returned to a foul parody of life by a local necromantic scientist. He tries to rescue the flesh golem anyway, and ends up being pursued by the local guards back to the Exiles's hideout. Here the team are cornered by a band of skaven led by the formidable Ugrush Krag, sent by the local Cartel to take revenge on the team. (cliffhanger)

Episode 2 No weapon like a bag of rats (part 2 of 2)

The Exiles have been found by a band of Skaven from the local Cartel, but are rescued by the sudden arrival, through the wall, of 'Howling mad' Urlan Haganbaack, riding on the shoulders of his fellow inmate at the Valhalla Association for Berserkers, a Minotaur called Crimson Horn. The Exiles fight the Skaven, who fight back with a number of sneaky tricks and comedy moves. All this time Radgar has been trying to tell the team something, but can't get the words out before someone else hits him. Finally, his message becomes obvious as both sides of the melee are surrounded by a combination of the local guards and the necromancer's goons, looking for the tolen
golem.

They lock the Exiles and the Skaven in the armoury while they squabble about who gets to keep them. Surrounded by hundreds of axes, tools for making weaponry, and a line of siege engines, the Exiles concoct a desperate plan. They use the weaponry to build a mini-siege tower with belt-operated whirling axes, and break out of the armoury, somehow knocking all the goons and guardsmen over without hurting any of them. Impressed by the inventive construction of overly-complicated weaponry, the Skaven agree to tell the Cartel that the Exiles have left town - on one condition. That, one by one, they too are allowed to join the team. The Exiles now have no choice, they have to go through with Balthazaar's original plan, and play Blood Bowl!

Episode 3 Paging Dr Werner

The Exiles are in trouble again. Committed to forming a blood bowl team, they don't have the necessary funds. Orland 'Faceman' Peck has managed to con a local businessman into lending a run down sports ground that's been closed, pending demolition, and the skaven steal the building supplies by digging under the fence at a local construction yard. Colonel 'Hannibal' Cicero knows a few shady characters who live in the undertunnels who might be able to provide some funds, and he wants to bring Radgar to help 'persuade' them. Unfortunately, Radgar's claustrophobia means he won't venture down into the sewer tunnels. (I ain't going down no drain). Instead, one of the skaven, Kikerit Pinktongue, steals a poison dagger from Celia the assassin and stabs Radgar with it, and he is instantly knocked out. They then carry him into the tunnels for the meeting.

Meanwhile Urlan has problems of his own when he tries to keep Crimson Horn of out the Valhalla Association for Berserkers, ands ends up being caught himself. The Exiles gather together to raid the VA and get back their own. The raid goes horribly wrong when Orland Peck's false beard gets caught in a Tesla coil, and they get locked into the confiscated items cupboard, full of axes, halberds and other assorted weaponry confiscated from the Berserker inmates, until the police can be summoned. They managed to build an automated tomahawk thrower, and aided by the sympathetic Dr Werner, make good their escape. Dr Verner promises to act as the team doctor. However, Radgar and Balthzaaer return reveal that their mission failed, and they wouldn't get the necessary money to launch the team. They return to the sports ground to find a huge crowd gathered around the renovations works, helping out in a 'proud local community' sort of way, led by intrepid reporter Naala Sweetwater. With a fan base secure, maybe the team will be viable after all?

Episode 4 Hide the noodle (guest star - Haloti Ngata from Revenger's Tragedy)

The local community is rallying behind the Exiles bid to form a blood bowl team, but something is holding them back. A bullying local businessman, chaos dwarf Ngata Hloti, is terrorising the local people into supporting his scheme for a giant casino and 24 hour noodle bar. Can the Exiles help out their new found fans without revealing their identity as a crack commando team on the run? Balthazaar 'Hannibal' Cicero pretends to open a rival noodle bar, in order to draw the villain out.

Meanwhile, Orland 'Faceman' Peck is doing his bit for the team on
recruitment. While trying to convince the groundsmen at the local
university to moonlight laying grass at the Exile's grounds, he runs into an attractive bikini model who appears to know him. He invites her to meet him at the noodle bar, and then rushes back to warn the Exiles that someone knows who they are. They are interrupted by the arrival of the mystery girl, and four of her friends, one of whom is intrepid reporter Naala Sweetwater! Goons arrive to bust up the place, but their threatening dialogue is largely ignored by the girls flirting with Orland, the Exiles trying to question Naala without alerting her friends, and Radgar eating everyone else's noodles, while Urlan claims he's destroying the noodly eco-system and endangering the visiting noodle spacemen from the great spaghetti in the sky, and tries to stop him. The villains get upset and start a fight, accidently covering themselves and everyone else in noodles. The Exile's dilemma, of how to beat the villains without displaying excessive combat skills, is solved when Naala's friends beat up the villains and send them packing, after a long and prolonged noodle fight. (The length of this scene varies from region to region depending on local obscenity laws). Naala later explains that they are all members of her old Amazon sorority, The Sisters of the Blade (Gotta infra U). Inspired by the fight, they construct a giant noodle-flinging machine, and when the local bully himself turns up with the rest of his goons, they use the machine to cover them all in noodles, humiliating them in front of the locals. The locals can now support the Blood Bowl team without interference, and help to build the first of the stands. The episode ends with a distraught Orland being surrounded by scantily clad Sisters of the Blade each of whom has apparently been separately promised a role as chief cheerleader. The Exiles seem disinclined to help Orland escape his fate.
