A brief history of The Black Orc Bock Bashers

Here is a bit of the history of the Orc Team, The Black Orc Bock Bashers, that I am taking to the Chaos Cup, the US Blood Bowl Major.

Everyone knows the dark tale of Josef Bugman and his Brewery. Bugman was a master dwarf brewer who was world renowned for his famous beers, known as Bugman’s XXXXXX. One night, returning from a trading trip in the Empire, he found his brewery ablaze, attacked by a raiding party of Goblins lead by the Goblin Warboss Git Guzzler who destroyed the brewery, killed his kin and stole his brew. Legends (spread by Dwarfs) say that Bugman hunted down and recovered every cask of the XXXXXX. Not so! One cask remained in greenskin hands. After many bloody changing of hands, it fell into the possession of the Orc Great Shaman Shiznit. Shiznit was able through long study, prayers to Mork and random combination of ingredients to unlock the secrets of beer making. Once he had the secret, Shiznit built a fortified lair and laboratory, improving on the dwarven recipes with “eksperry-ments” of his own...the Black Orc Brewery was born! *

Eventually Black Orc Bob and his band of goons got a taste of Black Orc Bock and the Blood bowl world has never been the same. The effects that Black Orc Bock has on Greenskins is exceptionally suited for the Blood Bowl pitch. It appears to make them more aggressive and impervious to pain while whipping them into a wild frenzy, which is saying something for the Greenskins! In order to promote his Black Orc Bock "Speshul Brews" Shiznit now sponsors the Black Orc Bock Bashers Blood Bowl team coached by the infamous Black Orc Bob the BSB. The Bashers have quickly earned a reputation as one of the most out of control and violent teams in the Old World making them a fan favorite. From time to time Shiznit himself will attend a match and serve as the teams Apothecary especially for the more important and well promoted matches. Shiznit, his Black Orc Bock "Speshul Brews" and the Basher have become a force to be reckoned with in the Old World

*Blatantly plagiarized from the Alamo IGT website alamoigt.com. The idea comes from special army that you can take to The Alamo IGT, a Warhammer Fantasy tournament in San Antonio TX. If you bring this Greenskin list properly converted you drink on the organizers tab for the weekend, which I have done the last several years…..
