Blood Bowl – Averland Hawks Part 6
It is well known that the Hawks are made up of players from all parts of the Imperium and beyond. Hawke Forth originally came from the port city of Salzenmünd, the most important seaport in the Imperium. With a lot of Blood Bowl being played in Nordland in general, it was only a matter of time before Hawke's strong arm would eventually be noticed. His commitment to the local population was also a success - his initiative “Fans belong alongside” is committed to ensuring that even less wealthy fans can afford to attend a Blood Bowl match.

Gareth was tired of constantly running in a drive wheel on a Reik's passenger ship. It was a low-paying, monotonous job. Ironically, the constant running was the basis of his fitness for being a Blood Bowl player.
On a trip along the Averland, he met the rebuilding Hawks. Without further ado, Gareth “the Express” Bosch signed up with the Hawks and started a new life. “The rest is history”, as they say.
Blood Bowl – Averland Hawks Part 4
We continue with a small dedication for particularly active users in the course of the project, so let’s get straight to it:
Sir Thomas Dragonblade
As one of the oldest players of the Averland Hawks, Sir Thomas had already had a lot of life experience. In Zhufbar, under Captain Milluzson, he had discovered his passion for shipbuilding and later even ran a small shipyard in Averland. Unfortunately, the business literally went down the drain when his assistant Ms. Elfikova ran off with a large part of his profits. As it turned out, she had used the money to build a ship stadium for her own team, the Karond Kar Sharks!
Blood Bowl was the next logical step for Sir Thomas - the large sums paid out to players would get him back on his feet while he yearned to face Ms. Elfikova's team each season to exact revenge.

After introducing the second lineman of the Averland Hawks last time, I continue today with the final one of the brave gentlemen at the center of the pitch.
Derek Jørgensøn
Even if a dwarf would never admit it, their people are close to humans. However, there are some popular exceptions where a dwarf is happy to admit to being friends with a human, such as Derek Jørgensøn. The former inventor has many ties to the Machinists' Guild and enjoys a good reputation there. Together with the dwarf Rae Crowson, is also developing training equipment for Blood Bowl players when he is not playing himself.
Blood Bowl – Preparing for match reports
I've written multiple times about my love for Blood Bowl on here, and I want to move the coverage into a nostalgic driven direction. We did game reports in the past, Dino did so with his Maulers, but I want to pick something up in a style, that I grew up with.
To give you an idea, what I am talking about, these are pictures from tactic articles from the very first German White Dwarf issues introducing Blood Bowl.
Blood Bowl – Averland Hawks Part 2
Every team needs a few tough guys who can not only dish it out, but also take a few hits. Accordingly, today you get to see the second line player of the Averland Hawks, Yohann Schmied. He is based on an RPG character created by TTW forum user Deadly Dub, alias Hannes.
Yohann Schmied
The child of an Ostlander and a Norscan woman, Yohann grew up on the coast of Ostland in very rough conditions. He dreamed of one day following in his father's footsteps and taking over his forge, but spent far too much time in the taverns, where he often got into brawls along with his friends. It was during one such brawl that he caught the eye of one of the many Blood Bowl talent scouts. Still devoted to the craft of blacksmithing, Yohann now forges and maintains his own equipment for each match.
November 2024 review
It's December - again. That was or at least felt quite quick. Anyhow, let us sum up the last month, November of 2024.
Prior to the christmas time, other holidays were present. For example Sankt Martin, which I took as a chance to built a Space Marine latern, and just a few days earlier was Halloween. Usually something that we only participate as a grown-up party, if at all, but with the kids growing up and in coordination with other households in our little town, we went "trick or treating" with our kids and they got quite the haul.
Blood Bowl – Averland Hawks Part 1
As you can see, I've revamped my community project a bit and it's no longer titled Blood Bowl Community Team. But don't worry, the premise remains the same - I'll be immortalizing particularly active members of the community, or those who have simply been an enrichment to my personal hobby. I will tell the teams story bit by bit over the course of the project, based on the player descriptions as well as some of the games I have played. But I won't keep you waiting any longer. Here comes the first player!
Dierk von Evilstein
The name Evilstein evokes a certain awe in many players and fans. The efficiency of Engel von Evilstein’s weapons was only surpassed by the explosiveness of his loins, and so it's not surprising that wherever he competed in matches...he liked to deepen the relationship with his fans after the games.
It is not known how many offspring Engel has ultimately fathered. But Dierk “Judge” von Evilstein is in no way inferior to his father’s reputation on the pitch, despite his rather friendly nature. Only off the field does he show far more decency than his father did.
Blood Bowl – Chaos Dwarf Pitch and Dugouts
I occasionally mention that in a previous life I once stood at a printing machine and produced print products. Accordingly, I know my way around the industry and have a certain fable for fine products from the print and packaging industry, such as this neat new Blood Bowl pitch for the recently released Chaos Dwarves.
The product currently costs €44 and comes in a slipcase with two dugouts and the pitch itself. The packaging is tailored to the size of the board and does not contain any foam padding around the edges, like the Old World Alliance/Underworld Denizens pitch (third picture).
Blood Bowl – Chaos Dwarf Star Players
With the release of the Chaos Dwarf Blood Bowl Team of the Zharr-Naggrund Ziggurats, we get three resin kits as well covering Star Players and positionals. And a lot of love went into this update.
As of today, all of these are updates of the existing vintage positionals and players. And we would like to begin with H'thark the Unstoppable.
The Star Player comes in a massiv blister and costs 40 EUR. H'thark is the largest of all Bull Centaurs and is quite towering on his 40mm round base.
