Blood Bowl

Konnici na Liriite - Chevalier Du Lys

Za liriite! Za Tshesta! Za Smarta!” The Velikii Kniazz who rode at the forefront of the onslaught, his ensorcelled ebon blade hewing men to the left and cleaving men to the right, his grim eyes gleaming beneath his shimmering horned and plumed helm. The carnage of that first clash was phenomenal. The momentum threw the pikemen into shrieking disarray, and the vanguard of army fell back before the thundering resolve of the Orden attack. The baleful, pikes and spears took their toll upon the Konnici. But even that didn’t stop the mighty cataphracts which tore gloriously into the foremost rank of pikemen. They continue their sprint as nothing had happened. In their pass hundreds of soldiers lay in the ground trampled beneath the horses’ hooves. The sound of bones cracking smothered beneath the moaning of the pikeman. Caught by leprous swords and spears, men and mounts fell screaming to the dusty earth, where they were mercilessly rent and devoured by the slavering swords of the each other side.

The world of warhammer is one of the most ingenious and interesting out there. It got history and a different feeling from other shared worlds like forgotten realms or dragonlance. This world is grim/dark to the core. But not this one.

This is Blood Bowl. It's set in the warhammer world but in a paralel world (kind of) where divergences are set in a game of American Football but with brutality that would put to the shame some world wars.

Here there are no rules, you've got a pig bladder and must put it in the other side of the field. That's it. Unfortunally there are really hungry dudes in the other side that will do anything (and I mean anything) to stop you.

In this tale we follow Dirk 'Dunk' Hoffnung rise from a swordsman to the quarterback of a team. Quite interesting reading. I really must read the following three books.
