Jim: “Ah yes. Here comes a team after my own cold, dead heart.”
Bob: “You know what they say, Jim. It’s hard to keep a good Blood Bowl player down.”
Jim: “Not even killing them seems to do the trick…”
There are whispers in the wind, and a foul stench… Something stirs in the shadows of the dugout as a cloying mist rolls across the pitch. The eerie creaking of dry timbers and grinding bones are the only sounds being called from the line of scrimmage. What could this be?
Catch a glimpse of the Wolfenburg Crypt-Stealers, if you dare…
Necromancers are assembling their players* into new teams as we speak – tired of spending all their time in musty tombs and dank burrows. They’d like a shot at glory just like anyone else, and Blood Bowl is a fantastic way to put their dark magic to use for fun and profit. They’ve raised their teams** and are now ready to unleash their horrors on a pitch near you!
Necromancers often hire Werewolves to liven up their teams, calling upon ancient pacts and promising them plenty of fresh meat – as long as the wizards get to keep the bones. Meanwhile, Flesh Golems have long been, ahem, a ‘staple’ of Necromantic teams, adding their custom-built combination of strength and unnatural resilience to the team’s line of scrimmage. That’s not all – Necromancers have begun to call not just upon the bodies of the dead, but the spirits of the damned too! We’re not sure about the skills of the new Wraiths, but they definitely look like they’ll have some sneaky tricks up their sleeves.***
Necromancers are notoriously anti-social,**** so you’ll just have to wait a little longer to learn more about the Wolfenburg Crypt-Stealers. But rest assured, this won’t be the last you’ll hear of these Necromantic Horror teams! Keep a watchful vigil for these creatures that go bump in the night, lest they catch you unawares.
Bob: “Looks like Necromantic Horrors have raised their game, Jim."
Jim: "They have the bodies, but do they have the brains to compete at the top level?"
Bob: "Well, that one is helping himself to some brains right there, so you got to say... yes!
* Literally, in the case of Flesh Golems.
** Literally, in the case of Zombies.
*** Or maybe treats up their sheets!
**** Not to mention possessing an undeniable flair for the dramatic and cultivating an air of mystery and danger.
