Blitzer Classes:


Rookie: Inexperienced and keen, the Rookie Blitzer is a jack of all trades. Able to lay big hits early on and be part of the fast break offence the Scimitars are known for. Rookies will be moulded in to the players they will be simply by a process of the side of the game they shine in early on.

Fullback:Not every Blitzer is a star, scoring touchdowns or pounding opponents. Sometimes there is a lot of dirty work to be done on a Blood Bowl pitch that does not get a lot of attention. Leading a rusher up the sideline, screening off potential game changers and blasting holes in defensive lines for the stars to waltz through are what gets a Fullback’s Serotonin pumping.

Inside Backer: The inside backer runs the middle of the field, imperiously holding back the offense, filling gaps, taking down ball carriers and generally leading the charge to stuff the opponents attempts to advance the ball.

Head Hunter: All Blitzers like to hit and have an eye for contact but Head Hunters specifically go out to put a hurt on their opponents. Ear hole blocks, blind side hits, low blows and knock out collisions are what they specialise in. Sometimes they go out of their way to rub in hits and can end up on the ground with their victims, following up the initial devastating hit to make it count. Usually fan favourites!

Tight End: When a Blitzer shows an ability to jink around the field and play the ball with finesse then he is a great asset to the Scimitars. The Tight End is one of those guys who can be a part of all phases of the game, blocking downfield and getting through tight situations to help out, all the while being a significant threat to break off in to the open to catch a pass. This type of flexibility makes them a threat that could easily be overlooked. Their natural ability is also evident on defence when they can quickly nip past attackers to pick off the ball carrier or diving on a bobbling ball and creating turnovers.

Powerback: Blitzers can be tough, hardnosed runners of the ball. Their strength and speed are a great combination for Blood Bowl, allowing them to not only take care of the ball when streaking downfield but not afraid to lower their shoulder and power through potential roadblocks. Potentially the bell cow of the team, reliable and efficient.

Safety: The Safety is the last line of defence, specialised in making that last gasp save, brining the ball carrier down by his shoe laces if needs be. A thorn in the side of the more agile attackers. The Safety also has the speed to break with any turn over and help hinder any pursuit as the Scimitars take it to the house.

Thrower Classes:


Rookie: Rookie Throwers come in to the world of Blood Bowl having been adored in the underage leagues around the world. The harsh realisation that they are by no means any more special when they start than the next guy comes quick and hard. They have to adapt to survive and can easily end life/career on the end of a Norseman’s knuckleduster.

Signal Caller: More than a thrower, the Signal Caller has the ability to make things happen with defenders draped over him. His escapability is usually high and always keeps his eyes downfield looking for targets. Rarely turns over the ball and is able to heave the ball a lot further than most with pinpoint accuracy. Essential for the high scoring offence.

Quarterback: The conventional thrower, sit back and find a target, be it wide of the hashes or over the middle. Not a conventional player for humans to play with but this player has shown exceptional talent throwing the ball and keeping out of the claws of opponents while scanning the field.

Wild Cat: A Wild Cat is purely a runner first, a deep lying defender second and a passer third! With the instincts of a running back and a nose for the end zone, a Wild Cat thrower is generally going to give defences fits as he jinks past with his innate ability. Not accomplished or polished as a thrower but if pressed to, they can still sling it, just don’t expect it to work consistently.

Dual Threat: A Dual Threat thrower is a danger to take the ball to the house himself or find some way to hit a receiver in stride as they stroll in for a touchdown. The successful mix of skills means that defences cannot commit to either without leaving themselves open to being punished as he changes the drive on the fly.

Catcher Classes:


Rookie: Fast, elusive and fragile. Understandably the biggest scoring threat a team can put on the field early on but also the weakest defender. A liability in coverage but fast enough to annoy attackers, the Rookie Catcher has to learn to survive and can be adored by fans for the scores they put up

Ball Hawk: A perfect foil to the Nickelback. Playing off against their talents by bringing the ball out playmaker role on defence. Some guys just have a knack to find the ball, knock it loose, drag down ball carriers or pick off passes. Just as likely to take down an Ogre as to intercept a pass and take it back to the house. A rare blend of gambler and athlete that pays off so well on the Blood Bowl field.

Deep Threat: The quintessential fastest player on a passing team. Outrunning most if not all opponents and a danger to score from almost anywhere in the opponents half in the blink of an eye. Still fragile and likely to last a short time in such a violent sport but as the saying goes, you’re here for a good time, not a long time!

Route Runner: While the Deep Threat is simply too fast for opponents, the Route Runner is much more finessed. Not as fast but get’s into the open with ease and catches with much more efficiency. Reliability is the key for this type of player, great technique allows him to flash past defenders, using both nimble feet and correct leverage

Nickelback: The ultimate defensive player, brave, reliable and a right royal pain in the behind as the Nickelback sticks to his opponents like glue while being quite difficult to shake. Courageous enough to take on stronger players at times while also helping pin down opponents for his team mates to take out. The mobile Nickelback can roam deep in the middle of the defence and make a read, change direction and get down hill to the ball to make a play.

Ogre Classes:


Anchor: Ogres are pretty simple, in two meanings of the word. Not only are they stupid enough to stand around picking their nose occasionally, they also are pretty analogous. The basic Ogre will be the same player you picked up on his first day in Blood Bowl; strong as an Ox, tough as nails but stupid as sin. Expect this beast to take a beating and occasionally dole it out.

Mountain: Ogres are strong but in the occurrence that a Ogre is much stronger than normal, a rare breed of them can be more effective on the field. With this newfound strength, they can look to block multiple opponents effectively, stretching opponents thinner and thinner as they topple to the turf.
