The Highway Bandits may be new to the Bloodbowl pitch, but they are far from new to blood!

All the players that form the team are volunteer's from the vicious bigrand band The Highway Bandits, who have pirated roads all across the Empire, and much of the Old World for that. Initially these men were part of a vigilante botherhood know as the Highwaymen who spent their time hunting witches, blasphemers, murderers, mutants, theives, poisoners, chaos cults, and all the other scum of the Empire.

However, so zealous and sucessful was their work that many of the local lords were becoming increasingly embarassed as their own soldiers were being outshown by a vigilante group. Not helping was the fact that their coffers were being lightened paying the all the bounty prices and service fees out to the Highwaymen brotherhood. Eventually, the lords stepped-up their own police work, stopped paying the bounties and fees, and later even barring the Highwaymen from entering their lands.

Forced into financial duress, the brotherhood bagan to prey on passing merchant caravans, accusing the unscrupulous an unpopular merchants of any number of exaggerated charges (and confiscating any goods to be sold later). Still, they were not bringing in enough money, and eventually started taking over any mechant caravan under entirely fabricated claims, hoping that they might disguise their thievery as nobel work, and many still beileving it was.

The local lords and Elector Counts had finally had enough with the Highwaymen and declared them outlaws, forcing the brotherhood into hiding. Even still, the Highwaymen continued their priracy, and still they put charges against any they attacked, though after time they realized they were not even fooling themselves anymore, though they continue the practice to this day, if only as their particular callsign and out of sentiment to their history.

One of the greatest mysteries and secrets of the organization is how, and even when their name changed from the Highwaymen, to the Highway Bandits. It is a secret guarded by the ruling heads of the band, though noone is sure quite why.

No longer suffering from financial trouble, the Highway Bandits soon became the most succesful outlaw band in the Empire, and have even faced Imperial armies in pitched battle on occasion! Never wih victory, but never decisvely defeated.

It isn't entirely known how one of the most hunted outlaw bands in the Empire managed to form an official Blood Bowl team, or why for that matter--one can only assume arrogance and possibly an attempt to restore their tarnished image and pride--their fanbase is the smallest of any team with as much name recognition as theirs; it is a suprise to many that they have any fanbase at all!

How these criminals will perform on the pitch is the question that comes to mind whenever this new team is mentioned. The Blood Bowl world watches with mild curiosity.
