Originally I had intended to use the wood elfy helmet on the treeman, but when I got Blitz Bowl 2 and a halfling bzb team for my birthday I decided to leave the mask off. That is to say a white aspen tree, but instead of fall colors like my sylvaneth warband, to do regular spring/summer green leaves, in this way it would fit in with the white and green colors of my wood elf team but with a more natural look. I decided to paint up my treeman in a similar style to my Warhammer Underworlds sylvaneth warband (which is another covid-19 project i completed in 2020 that I don’t think I’ve blogged about yet … I’ll have to rectify that). It was the treeman’s release that got me motivated to finish the team. A Chaos coach will have to rely on pure muscle, luck and clever strategy until his players start building up skills and/or mutations.After finishing the initial 12 players, I always meant to go back and round out the roaster with some more players and I knew some day GW would release a treeman but it took more than a year for it to come out. Unskilled, but Strong: Starting Chaos teams have nothing in the way of skills, unless one counts the Horns on the Beastmen, and even they only give a strength bonus while blitzing.Easy access to mutation means any player can end up looking very weird with the likes of giant claws, tentacles or a prehensile tail. Mix-and-Match Critters: Beastmen and Minotaurs begin as this, with Beastmen as humans with the heads and hooves of goats.

Even a humble starting Beastman, which otherwise is mechanically identical to a generic Human Lineman begins with horns giving it a Strength boost while blitzing. Their players tend to be short on skills but strong and capable of hitting hard.

Blood Knight: Canonically Chaos teams love fighting.

Chaos teams also benefit from a wide variety of mutations. The core of a Chaos team is built around goat headed Beastmen, but they can also hire Chaos Warriors for slower but tougher and harder hitting muscle and expensive and unreliable but ferocious Minotaurs. They tend to enjoy the fighting aspect more the actual play, with the most common Chaos tactic being to knockout, injure or kill as many of the opposition in the first half of the game and concentrate on scoring against the survivors in the second half.

Weak, but Skilled: Amazons have no armour worth speaking of and a very average stat line but they do all begin with the crucial Dodge skill, which is one of the most crucial skills in the whole game.Ĭhaos teams follow the Chaos Gods, hoping to win glory on the gridiron.

Glass Cannon: Amazon Blitzers are as good as blocking as their regular human counterparts but like the rest of their team they lack the armour to take a hit.

In the case of the Amazons a few strategic loincloths and bikinis and tropical bird feathers are basically the only protection against the outside world.

Chainmail Bikini: Like their Norscan ancestors the Amazons go into battle (or on the gridiron) wearing next to nothing.

Amazon Brigade: While a few other teams have some female players the Amazons are unique in fielding an entirely female squad.

They are known as ferocious warriors and in Blood Bowl favour a lightly armored, nimble style of play. Their origins are mysterious and there are conflicting accounts as to whether they are unaging or simply a normal human society whose culture has developed differently. The Amazons are an-all female human tribe, descended from the Norscans who dwell in the jungles of Lustria.
