Krom Ironside was one of the great Blitzers in Blood Bowl history. Unfortunately, Krom was killed in a freak Steam Cannon accident. "He tried to lay a block on the steam cannon," a friend said, "and, well, you know, he almost had it." Even though Krom has long been dead, Joe heard that an orc was in town who claimed to be Krom's brother. "He didn't look like Krom and he seemed kind of drunk," an anonymous dwarf said, "but Joe decided he HAD to be on the team. And you can't say no to Joe." The poor orc, known as Krom's Brother, hasn't shown any skill on the pitch yet. Fans can already sense Joe's mounting disgust.

Krom facts:

Krom's Brother is gaining a bit of a fan following. Some say that fans like Krom's Brother because they desperately want to believe he is an emerging superstar. In fact, he recently was named MVP of a game...even though he didn't make a significant play.

Krom seems to have his best games against the Forgge Fiends. In a second round Kristmus Kup match, Krom caught a nice pass from Lew Twista to tie the game at 1 - 1. "Him really playing like a pro-level guy lately. He make good plays when we need 'em. Just like Krom," black orc blocker "Simon" Punch said following the second round match. It is still unclear, however, if he really is Krom's brother.
