Speed Kills

The game of Blood Bowl is a game of raw power and violence.  But a lesser thought about part of the game (at least to most races) is speed.  And the Wanderers have that in spades.  The two players that are the fastest on the team are Skritter the Leaper and Hrut Hornspike.  The Leaper is faster than Hornspike but he can run with anyone else in the league.

When it comes to pure speed Skritter the Leaper has no equal.  This rat can fly by and over any player with the greatest of ease.  Skritter has lead the Wanderers in touchdowns for the last three years.  His high point was a 7 touchdown performance against the Greenfield Torpedoes.  Unless absolutely necessary you won’t see him on defense, his offensive prowess is too important to use on the defensive side of the ball.

For all the offensive ability of the Leaper, defense is the world of Hrut Hornspike.  Hornspike is the team leader in forced fumbles.  He’s not the strongest Wanderer by any means but that doesn’t stop him.  His speed makes him a threat from all areas of the pitch.  Known to blatantly wield his dagger, Pokey, Hornspike is quite adept at injuring other team’s star players.  “He’s our-our heat seeking missile,” says Reek Nosebiter.   Hornspike isn’t hard to find out there on the pitch.  He’s the only Wanderer out there in long pants… and he has two massive horns protruding from his head.  Thanks Warpstone.

We’re slowly getting closer to the Legends Cup and we here at Warfire Weekly are getting excited.
