Introducing...
The Exiles
As it has been since the Amazon’s first entered the Blood Bowl universe, every Amazon warrior who wishes to join the Blood Bowl League is first required to become a member of the ‘Exiles’. The ‘Exiles’ are a newly formed and yet to be blooded Amazon Blood Bowl team.
Each player in the team while they are an ‘Exile’ will relinquish the right to be known by their given birth name and will take up the title of a former Amazon hero or legend. They will also take a up a position in the team reflecting their name, skill and the honour of their forbearers , to inspire themselves and show their on-going commitment to the Amazon Blood Bowl legacy and the great legacy the Amazon empire.
If they survive a season with the ‘Exiles’ and have shown great promise and potential, they will either move across to one of the established Amazon Blood Bowl war bands or be given the opportunity to create a new war-band. Having completed their trial by fire in the ‘Exiles’ they take back their birth names and are now fully en-trenched in Amazon Blood Bowl Lore.
Those who survived the season and did not manage to show enough promise are, as the name suggests, permanently exiled from the Amazon empire for their lack of commitment and unworthiness to the cause, as such is the price of failure….
Now, a new season has begun. A new ‘Exiles’ team has been formed for another season from a fresh batch of initiates , and a new and inexperienced coach been given the highest honour to mould them into an effective and competitive team, to carry on the legacy of the Amazons.

The Blisterin Shagfisters
Affectionately known as the Fisters by their fans, The Blisterin Shagfisters had until recently been disbanded for over 30 years. It was following Brutus Shaggafist’s dismissal from the Down Sin Drones in the Rightful Heir League that he followed his dream of re-establishing the team made famous by his uncle Ash “Smoldering” Shaggafist.
Uncle Ash was a fearsome Blood Bowl player and a crowd favourite when the Team was just known as the Smoking Shagfisters. He gained the moniker “Smoldering” when he struck upon the idea of affixing bundles of herbal pipe weed to the outside of his armor and setting it alight just before a major drive into the oppositions defensive pack. On more than one occasion this saw the glassy eyed opposition wander off at half time in search of a McMurty’s Big Moot, conceding the match when they didn’t return.
It was during a match versus a Dark Elven team that this strategy was retired, as a dark elf Assassin snuck into the Shagfisters locker room and applied a liberal amount of grease to Uncle Ash’s middle layer padding. This went undiscovered until shortly after kickoff when a Fireball screamed from each side of the pitch coinciding on Uncle Ash's place in the line, and the Smoking Shagfisters were from that point onwards known as The Blistering Shagfisters.
Truely, they only played a few more games before disbanding and their last match was a horrifying technical win. In his first game back it is thought that Ash “Smoldering” Shaggafist still smelt and looked like roast pork walking, so it is of little surprise that in the first play of the game the entire halfling team was sent off for foul play. But not before conducting an impromptu picnic on the line of scrimmage.
Despite this ignominious past, Brutus found a manager willing to make a buck out of his families name and The Blistering Shagfisters have been reborn to great acclaim.
Glory awaits Brutus and his Fisters.
