Crispy™ Let's run rings around Blood Bowl F13 Season 8 - Three Codexers in Play Offs

[RK47]

Arkay of the Counterattack

Spoiler

Theorists' turn - they mark Azira again. This time, there's a blitz coming on stabby!

Well done.

Guppy trolls again as his back towards the line!
Theorists call for a reroll!

Shit. That's... that's not too bad. What a relief.

Karma is strong - Wild Animal failed again.

Hellraiser though, succumbs to another stun - I don't think he wants to get up next turn anyway.

eklektyk falls, but he has done his duty - Xenomorph can break away next turn.
Their turn is over.
It's turn 7!
Counterattack commences!

Onward, to victory!

Take that!
Jasede decides to spoil the mood by scoring double skull. Tried a reroll - since I got 3 with 2 turns left...

Oh well.

It's do or die next turn.

Here it comes...

Theorists calls for a reroll!

Tries to dodge out a beastman to get to a better tacklezone but...

That's it! Finish it!

stabby assists!

Azira, with the lightest of push is enough to free the ball!

Knights scoring a down! 1-0 Right on Half Time!

 

[Jaedar]

Exciting. The plays where you move the ball 20 tiles in one turn always are

 

[RK47]

Deadly Kicks

Spoiler

Theorists has a round of free bash before the half is over.

One casualty a piece.
Our sacrificial lambs would be...

Yeah seriously, our bench is too quality.

All down except for Hellraiser, but no injuries.

Productive kick that was.

Alright, it's for real now.
I even counted my players and moved Xenomorph to the back to exclude him from play.
I had 12.
Yeah, I'm a fair playa.

Dem kicks are just too good.

 

[RK47]

Bodies fly everywhere

Spoiler

Chaos offense is one of those - bulldozer types. They clear a path, if they can't they'd pile punches till a path opens.
Often forgetting they have AG3.

Fagsalom learns that first hand - getting KO'd right after kick off.

Minotaur blitzes...

Stuns Jasede. Damn.

Chaos Warrior got the ball and went to cage as their turn ends.
Interesting choice. I wouldn't want a CW to carry it. It's just too darn slow.
Our turn - we isolate a choice beastman for a 2D Blitz, hoping for an early KO or CAS.

No dice.
Worst, Angelo fuck up his 2D block and both downed on a Chaos Warrior.

Not enough punching power without Jasede standing up.

Chaos trying to punch their way out, this time Hellraiser eating a claw + Piling On. Still alive. Should've gone Mighty Blow.

Cage advances.... two tiles. Good good.
Our turn.

More assist to get 2D blocks.

Azira downs another but no injury.
We need more power. Too many 1D blocks - we need Maximum Force.

That punch did a lot of good.

Hi, can I join your cage?

Theorists are in trouble as Davis dodges out for a 3rd cage marking.

Might get a fourth here with Hellraiser.

Eh, he's not that lucky. Didn't burn a RR.

Good effort by humans so far this round.

 

[RK47]

The One Tile Blitz

Spoiler

So it begins. Theorists instructing the Chaos Carrier to blitz every turn in a gamble to escape the Ogre on next turn and hoping for a nice take down to escape the trap...

Except Humppalekka is having none of it.
Theorists calls for a reroll.

Still the same result.

Finally gets taken down by the Chaos warrior next to him - but the blitz had already been wasted.

Top it off with a wild animal phailure.

Jaedar is dancing with 2 Goats on a corner. They really want him out of the match.
First was just a push, second was good enough.

Down but still in the game.
Theorists finish the turn with a push on Angelo85.

Our turn!

Humpy gets back in there.
Elsewhere, Jaedar puts his Guard back up. Letting Azira let loose a 2D block!

KO! Good stuff.
Stabby will reposition.

Gonna gamble a bit on the cage markers...

RR-ing Davis...

Just a push. But still established Cage Contact.

RK Dodges out to get in!
Looks like eklektyk is getting up...

Doge?

Yes!

With that sort of marking, we can now risk a Boneheaded Block...

PUSH / B.Down. Oh well. Got into ball contact again. Hurr, hurr, problem, Chaos?
Hell, I even threw a 1D block on a Chaos Warrior with Angelo... who didn't have Block.

Succeeded. Such le Nonchalance.

 

[RK47]

And never let go

Spoiler

This time the cage's edge struck Humppalekka down.

No injury, here comes a blitz by the carrier though - on Arkay!

Challenge accepted.
Eh? He rerolled?

And like a replay of previous turn - a wild animal appears.

Elsewhere -

Oh look, it's Azira flying in the air with a big red cross - oh well another badly hurt blitzer. Shit happe-

A-apo?

Phew. Fucker. 4 SPP. You better be worth it.

Stunned by this development, as eklektyk takes another blow to the head.
But a failed dodge by one of the beastman signals end of the onslaught.

It's time.

Humppalekka puts his Guard up!

Jaedar is moving back into the action!

We got one die! Let's do it stabbs!

Defender Down!

Ball's loose. Fuck you fuckers. Victory is mine! Konk that sucker, Jasede.

Stunned. Damn, he just needs one damn SPP to level up goddamit!
Oh well, I wanted more dudes on the ball, ordered Angelo to dodge out -

Burned a reroll.... but today is just not his day.

 

[RK47]

Your best thing ever

Spoiler

Chaos has 2 on the ball.

We have 3.

Now there's 2 after Humpy gets downed.

Big Blitz by the Piling on dude...

Davis gets KO'ed!

Uh oh, eklektyk~

Survives a goring!

I think we got this.

Humpy raises his Guard!

Jaedar enters the fray!

Slams the goat into the ball, scattering it!

Goat is badly hurt! And the ball is in stabby's hand!
Forward or backward?!
STUPID QUESTION!

Arkay gets in position up front.
While the rest of the Knights rise to mark every possible chaos men.

GO STABBY GO!

YEAH YOU GOT THIS

ONE MORE

OK, Jasede, finish it with a bang! Hit them hard and mark them!

Well, shit.

 

[RK47]

I too, want to be good at this game

Spoiler

Do or die for the Theorists! Humpalekka, gets taken down!

Chaos Warrior rushing back, but he'll never make it to stabby!

BUT THIS ONE MIGHT!

OH NO

STABBY IS DOWN AND STUNNED!
NOTHING ELSE MATTERS! TURN OVER!

Luck? LUCK?
YOU DON'T KNOW THE MEANING OF THAT WORD!

YOU DIDN'T LOSE TO THREE ONE TURN TOUCHDOWNS IN THE FINALS!

 

[RK47]

Final Words

Spoiler

2-0 Setting up for final drive - consolation bash. Out of fodders, since Fagsalom refused to wake up.

Anthony, Azira and Hellraiser takes their spot.

Can't even take advantage of this.

Chance to gtfo - Davis gets out safely with a dodge.

Azira...

Smashed his hip.... -MA. OK. Cut or not? 4 SPP Blitzer.

Hellraiser got bashed, but no injury.

Theorist gave consolation pass a try - but failed. Turnover, Hellraiser got up and kicked a nearby beastman, ref said play on.

Anthony gets in there, picks up the ball ...
And fumbles a pass for fun.

That's that.

MVP For Today is....

Well deserved.

 

[Jaedar]

You did get kinda lucky though

Defense was well played.

 

[Darth Roxor]

lol luckerfag

 

[Azira]

Not my luckiest game.

 

[RK47]

 

[Azira]

That -1MA on a rookie blitzer? Yeah, I'm dead weight. Cut me loose, hire another blitzer.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Secret Military Union vs Family of Twitch
Match Day 6

^ Imperial thought for the day.

Spoiler

As you may remember, in the aftermath of our game against the halflings, the Union is seriously battered. It's missing a catcher, an MB blitzer and a wrestle lino for this match. It also had to get rid of Private Property, who suffered a -1MA, but hired Private Education to take his place.

For the Emperor!

Our wicked foe is a bunch of well-known skaven. Personally, I always thought humans were very well-armed against rats thanks to their 4 blitzers that make short work of puny av7 st2 gutter runners, while the blitzer ma7 and catcher ma8 makes them able to keep up pretty well.

Still, skavenly-bullshit (tm) is not to be underestimated. But the general tactics are rather straightforward:

Loner lino will aid us for this match.

Why so hasty, chedderp.

There's a whole stadium to show!

The rats take up a defensive formation, unaware that their star gutter runner is well within range of Major Glory.

Indeed, Major Glory will be our key player for this match because of his tackle. Same thing as last match, actually.

Alea iacta est.

FFFUUUUUU

A lino gets blitzed, only to a push.

Obviously, runner rat catches the ball.

Time to administer some medicine!

Major Glory is unfortunately out of range atm, but Major Minor will do just as well, especially considering this runner has no block.

ACTIVATING JUMP PACKS

SLAM! A stun! The ball goes wild.

If ag4 General Specific could still act, I'd prob pick it up. But with Motors it's too risky from 1 tz.

That's why we just set up a boatload of tackle zones around it. ESPECIALLY we place a sneaky land mine in the form of Major Glory right next to it, in case some wiseass rat tries to do sum doges.

Corporal Punishment will stay in the back. Just in case.

Turnover.

Pvt Public is down, and he makes the ball bounce.

It bounces some 4 times between the 2 downed guys, and finally ends up in the hands of Private Capacity. Good job, private.

Capturing it was easy. Holding it will be hard.

Oh, bollocks

A lino has to reroll a doge, while more foes surround Private Capacity...

Well, he didn't hold on to it too long.

FFS

It's k, though, ball is still in 3 TZs, including one tackle.

Uh-oh...

THIS IS THE JUDGEMENT OF THE RIGHTEOUS

SCUM

TURNOVER AS THE STAR GUTTER RUNNER IS BADLY HURT AND TAKEN OFF THE FIELD

Major Glory has already earned his pay for the match.

Ag4 sure hands, very unlikely to fail a pickup.

Bonk.

Notice how the enemy coach's morale already dwindles!

Need some more covering fire.

Turnover.

Pff.

Rerolls to push.

Lolwut he's setting up dudes around the ogre.

D:

Down but not out

Even in death I still surf.

Loner lino is still up.

And that's a turnover.

Lotsa rats around. The ogre gets up. Gotta free up some space.

Good luck, Major

Just a knockdown.

Let's try the oldest trick in the book and send Corporal Punishment ahead as a decoy. I have no intention to score this early, and preferably not with him either.

Moved General Specific back to assist on this block.

Turnover as the skaven are 3 men down!

Jaedar proves to be

A COWARD. A FEWL!

as he blitzes Punishment.

Damn, he even put the grunner close

Sorry chedderp, Major Glory will not rest before this rat is out of the game.

The ogre manages to KO another lino, however.

Moving forward.

Corporal Punishment will provide more trollings.

Turnover!

(((((((

More rats move in before this day is done.

Our dreadnought moves in to hug some skaven.

More stuns.

... beautiful

And you know what, fuck it. It might not be the correct thing to do atm.

But I don't give the slightest fuck.

Major Glory reaches level 3! A well-earned one in this match.

Meanwhile all we miss is Private Capacity. Not too shabby.

I derped the formation, should have just gone super-offensive and close to the los. Oh well.

Let's go for a long kick to make them waste a turn for pickups and shit.

ffs

Ball lands right next to the runner, go figure.

Shameless throwing practice. Turnover.

O look, what a deliciously juicy bunch of rats.

Three rerolls, three turns left. Might as well attempt to reroll the loner...

Nope...

Gets hot in here as the runner moves up close.

Unfortunately, that was just a stormvermin on the right side of the los, pretty inconsequential.

K, we have a whole lotta dudes here to stop the skaven.

-1 MA on a stormvermin? That's a career-ended if you ask me.

The emprah... so proud todeh...

Oh, bollocks.

GO GO GO MAJOR

Hnnngggg

WHY DIDN'T YOU REROLL, YOU FEWL

Beats me, commander. A momentary madness, I guess.

Corporal Punishment goes in for sum assists and shit. Turnover.

fuck

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Major Glory being taken off the field for the rest of the match is very bad news.

And after that, bad positioning of Corporal Punishment

Results in

A rather dumb

Lost point.

It's no matter, however, the rats are...

Commander, the transmission is breaking up.

WHAT?! THIS CANNOT BE! BRUVA TECHMARINE, FIX THIS SHIT IMMEDIATELY

I'm trying as hard as I can here, but I'm afraid I need MORE DILITHIUM CRYSTALS

So in other words, you have no idea what you are doing, right?

Yes

...

BB decides to crash, both coaches are frustrated enough to call it quits and agree to a friendly draw.

Commander Boreale's final thoughts:

Fuck this shit...



This concludes match day 6. However, this doesn't conclude the skaven, as match day 7 will see the Union go up against Fursection.

And this time we'll have all blitzers and no loners!

 

[RK47]

-.- match didn't happen. boo.

 

[Darth Roxor]

-.- match didn't happen. boo.

I'm particularly sad about Major Glory's lack of level up

 

[RK47]

u lost ur best chance of SPP man, blame the ISP >_<

 

[Darth Roxor]

It wasn't even an internet breakdown. BB just decided to crash for chedderp because Cyanide gonna Cyanide.

 

[RK47]

 

[Ulminati]

Skaven! Skaven! Rah! Rah! Rah!

Cheese the day! Cheese the day!

Would spectate, but a) I don't have Cyanides abortion of a client and b) match time is 5am on a monday morning for me.

 

[Azira]

But it's week 7, winter vacation week?

Naw, can't spectate either. If I'm up at that time, then it's due to my children being ill. I'd rather get my sleep.

 

[Ulminati]

If they stream it to twitch.tv, I'll watch it in the evening. *hint* *hint*

 

[Jaedar]

Skaven! Skaven! Rah! Rah! Rah!

b) match time is 5am on a monday morning for me.

Only if RK and I had a massive miscommunication. It's supposed to be 14:00 on sunday sweden time.

 

[Ulminati]

Skaven! Skaven! Rah! Rah! Rah!

b) match time is 5am on a monday morning for me.

Only if RK and I had a massive miscommunication. It's supposed to be 14:00 on sunday sweden time.

Maybe I'm mixing up GMT+X and GMT-X. Either way, I has no Cyanide client, so I'd still need a twitch.tv stream to watch the match.
