    Bonesaw

    When we start to look at the grim world of Guild Ball, where every match feels like a battle of wits and wills, there exists a figure who embodies the dark humour and brutal efficiency of the Morticians: Bonesaw. Imagine a player who thrives on chaos, wielding his cleaver with a grin that could chill the blood of even the fiercest opponents. Bonesaw is not just a character; he’s a metaphor for the Morticians’ philosophy, a blend of macabre joy and ruthless ambition. Let’s dive into the lore of Bonesaw, the man who is as much a part of the Morticians’ identity as their shadowy captain, Obulus. In the official…

    Graves

    In the Morticians’ lore, Graves is exactly what his name suggests — a man bound to the guild through his trade as a gravedigger. He’s not the glamorous face of the organisation like Obulus, nor the sadistic surgeon like Scalpel, nor the screaming banshee like Cosset. Graves is the one who handles the aftermath. Someone has to dig the holes. Someone has to make sure the dead stay where they belong. Someone has to get on with the dirty, thankless work while everyone else is basking in the limelight. That’s Graves. And there’s a quiet menace to him. He doesn’t need to shout. He doesn’t even need to threaten. His…

    Obulus – Master of Strings

      Now we can have a look at what Obulus brings to the table top and a bit of a look at his in game law. There’s a moment, in every game of Guild Ball, where you realise you’re not the one in control. You think you’ve got the ball, you think you’ve got the play lined up, you think you’re about to make the kind of move that wins you the cheers of your club night comrades and a pint on the way home. Then you look up, and you see Obulus smiling that smile. The smile that says, actually, friend, you were never the one making the decisions…

    Josef Bugman the Coach

    In the ever-evolving saga of Blood Bowl, where grit, strategy, and a touch of chaos reign supreme, the Gritty Grumps have carved out a niche as the hard-nosed dwarven team that never backs down from a challenge. Known for their steadfastness and unyielding spirit, they have now taken a monumental step forward with the addition of a legendary figure: Josef Bugman, the famed brewer, and the shrewd tactician, Coach. He brings a wealth of experience and expertise that promises to elevate the Gritty Grumps to new heights. Let’s explore the lore surrounding this remarkable addition, his roles within the team, and how his presence will reshape the Gritty Grumps’ strategy…

  • Weekly Waffle. Josef Bugman the Star Player

    Joseph Bugman the Star Player

    Josef Bugman is a name synonymous with the finest ale in the Old World, but don’t let the scent of malt and hops fool you. Behind the master brewer is a stout-hearted warrior with a grip like a vice and a temper that flares hotter than a forge. While he has long supported the Gritty Grumps from the sidelines, the time has come for Bugman to lace up his boots, strap on his gromril reinforced pads, and show the league that he’s just as dangerous with a block as he is with a brew. When Bugman steps onto the pitch, he isn’t just playing for the fans; he’s playing for…
