Jim: Bob, I've been meaning to ask you, what’s your favourite part of Blood Bowl?
Bob: Well Jim, I’d have to say the tackles – the more violent, the better!
Jim: Today’s Star Player is going to be right up your alley Bob, I’m not sure he’s ever given up the opportunity to get a solid tackle in.
Bob: Oh boy! Nothing gets the blood going like a big bruiser on the pitch.
Jim: Let’s pass things over to Alyssa, on the pitchside. Stay on your toes, this one’s rowdy.
Alyssa: Blood Bowl players come in all shapes and sizes, but few are both as big and brutal as Scyla Anfingrimm. A hulking beast of unknown origins, some say he’s a daemon anointed by Khorne himself, whilst others think he’s an irate fan that found his way onto the pitch in a fit of rage and simply hasn’t left.
All we truly know is that he is a single-minded fan of carnage. Nothing can stand between Anfingrimm and a vicious tackle – not even petty distractions such as the ball and scoring touchdowns can draw his attention away from their next target.
The only thing that comes close to deflating Anfingrimm’s imposing stature is his quaint adherence to the standard Blood Bowl uniform guidelines– he is never seen without league-mandated socks, which regularly draw chuckles from opposing team members. However, such behaviour simply marks them as prime targets for his next furious tackle.
Sartorial quirks aside, Anfingrimm is known for popping heads and taking skulls left and right – with 83 confirmed fatalities, 104 serious injuries handed out, and a staggering grand total of one, singular, accidental touchdown to his name.
Over to you in the commentary box.
Bob: Wow Jim, this is my kind of player! A pugilistic powerhouse with a taste for blood!
Jim: I thought you’d be a fan. I have to say the socks are a little distracting, however.
Bob: It’s all part of his technique, Jim – if he doesn’t knock you out, the smell will!
Scyla Anfingrimm will be available to pre-order soon and will be a perfect fit for any Chaos Chosen team that needs an almost impractical amount of muscle on their roster.
