Hamper Bay Tuckaneers
P [C] Halfling


Location: Hamper Bay
Nickname: Tuckaneers
Stadium: Picnic Field
Surface: Grass, sprinkled with marshmallows

Colors: Red and White (or just red if things are going really badly...)
Sponsor: Burger Fling
Rivals: Ankles, knees and dangly bits. Especially when they are on the ground.


TEAM BIO

The idyllic beauty spot of Hamper Bay almost had it all, balmy sunny weather and endless sandy beaches lined with restaurants and bars... the only thing they lacked was a Blood Bowl team. With the creation of the Hamper Bay Tuckaneers... they still lack a Blood Bowl team. The flings are useless at blocking and passing, a bit podgy for rushing, and only middling at catching. But the two treemen can flatten anything, they have a wonderful chef to tempt hordes of the little buggers out each week, and Nuffle-save-us-all are they good at fouling. Behind those sweet childlike grins and sporting handshakes, once the whistle blows they are the dirtiest *******s that ever took to the pitch! Nevertheless given the alarming injury and mortality rates it's amazing these plucky halflings turn up each week - rumour has it they can't resist the added incentive of a huge picnic hamper to enjoy on the beach after each game. Should they survive of course.
TROPHY ROOM

Champions? No. Champignons? Yes please, especially with a bit of garlic butter and some sourdough bread. While most of the Tuckaneers' trophies have been of the edible kind and long since vanished, they have somehow won something Blood Bowl related:

Throne of Blood Seasons XXV and XXXIV Halfling Champions (Ok, we lied. But where are the champignons?)(4K/16G 60pts; 4K/13G 42pts)

Throne of Blood Season XXXIV First Blood

HALL OF FAME PLAYERS

'GOAT'* LEGEND Lineman: Tom Brady. This flash git is the No.1 All-Time Halfling Lineman in the C division with 24 TDs, 21 Cas and 13 MVPs - so his boasting of being the Greatest Of All Time is finally justified! Despite his portly figure Tom is deceptively nimble, tough, and speedy to boot. Can't pass for toffee though due to his bingo-wings - the result of a severe avocado ice-cream addiction.

LEGEND Treeman: Oakheart. Preferred to call himself a blitzer, this treeman could actually JOG! Became the All-Time Top Treeman Blocker on 19/1/23 with 68 casualties, and finished with 73. For much of the Tucks early history Oakheart formed a dynamic and formidable pairing with another MA 4 treeman Redroot. Eventually he got felled by, of all things, a reroll block by a rookie untrained troll.

LEGEND Catcher: Buster Burrfoot. The Tucks greatest ever scorer, and No.2 All-Time halfling Catcher in the C Division. An exceptionally nimble little bugger who could score under opponents legs, or over their heads when flung by one of the treemen! Eventually picked up one too many injuries against some nasty dark elfs, and made a well-deserved retirement to the backroom staff!

SUPERSTAR Catcher: Lothar Longfoot. At the time of his retirement Lothar was the greatest halfling scorer of all time in the C division with 31 TDs in 32 games, but amazingly he never won a MVP award! Now on the backroom staff after getting mashed by an Orc Blitzer.

EMERGING STAR Hefty: Bertie Brandybuck. Another formidable halfling who managed to pack a punch, Bertie was a respectable blocker even for the big folk with Wrestle, Dauntless and Leader. Third on the all All-Time Blocker list for halflings with 11 casualties, just behind Tom Brady.

Most Valuable Pie-eater 2121: Brodo Faggins. First captain of the Tucks. Never really achieved much on the pitch, but boy could he eat pies.

* There is much discussion amongst the Tucks as to what the heck 'GOAT' actually means. Tom claims it is because he is the greatest quarterback** of all time. Everyone else thinks it is because he has extremely hairy legs. Tom's claim is also somewhat undermined by the colander he wears on his head, and rather portly figure - the result of his serious addiction to avocado ice-cream.

** The Tucks are also trying to figure out what a 'quarterback' is. The consensus is it's because Tom cowers a quarter of the pitch back from the treemen on kick off, never daring to stand on the Line of Scrimmage.

*** Did you know...

Many news agencies lazily record the Tuckaneers' teamsheet as fielding 'Altern Forest Treemen', but in fact many of the treemen around Hamper Bay are of a different race deriving from coconut trees. This explains the popular fans' song of 'I've got a lovely pair of coconuts', which is serenaded to the opposition whenever their two big guys go a bit mental and start pounding the opposing LOS into pate.

Did you ALSO know?
The Tuckaneers are famous for fielding a succession of players called 'Tom Brady'. Rumour has it there is a chaos gate hidden somewhere in the Bay, and every now and then (usually when another Tom has just got mashed), lo and behold another Tom Brady confidently struts out claiming to be the 'greatest of all time' from some other dimension. Most of the locals are far from convinced and suspect it is some cosmic joke by Nuffle or Tzeentch... but every now and again a Tom does pull off the spectacular - who knows?
