About Blood Bowl team names

Blood Bowl is Games Workshop's fantasy football game, and its team names have always been jokes first. The setting's own famous sides parody real franchises (the Orcland Raiders, the Darkside Cowboys), so coaches tend to follow the same recipe: a place from the Warhammer Old World, a mascot borrowed from real sport, and a pun that hints at violence. Nuln Gunners, Lothern Sea Hawks and Karak Kadrin Orange Crush all work that way.

The list covers the main rosters, so you can find a name that fits the models on the pitch: greenskins, Skaven, dwarfs and Chaos Dwarfs, the elf teams, the undead rosters, Chaos and Norse, human and noble sides, and the halfling, ogre, lizardmen and gnome teams. One more set of names jokes about the rules themselves, which every coach will recognize: Double Skulls, Turnover Bakery, Apothecary Made It Worse.

About a fifth of the list is star player names, written the way the game writes them, with a nickname or an epithet that tells you what the player does: Borzag Four-Tackles, Snitch Sidestep-Sidestep, Amenhotackle III. Use them for the legend on your own team sheet or for a league's invented free agents. They are meant as new names in the house style, not copies of official Games Workshop teams or Star Players.

How to choose Blood Bowl team names

  • Start from your roster. A slow bashing team suits heavy names such as Everpeak Immovables or Black Orc Blockade, while an agile passing team can carry something vain like Too Pretty to Tackle or Pass, Catch, Preen.
  • Pun on a real team your league mates know, and make the mascot suit the race: Green Bay Hackers for orcs, Moot City Chefs for halflings, Ratlanta Squeakers for Skaven.
  • Say it the way a commentator would: "Touchdown, Nuln Gunners!" If the name is a mouthful at that speed, shorten it before the season starts, because league chat will shorten it for you anyway.
  • Give rookies plain names and let nicknames come from play. The lineman who somehow kills a troll earns an epithet, and the catcher who drops everything becomes Fritz von Fumble.
  • Look at your league's team list before you commit so two coaches do not turn up with the same joke, and keep the humor aimed at pitch violence and bad dice, not at real groups of people.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good Blood Bowl team name?

The classic formula is a Warhammer place plus a sports mascot with a twist, such as Marienburg Mariners, Averheim Longhorns or Zhufbar Steamrollers. Roster jokes also work well: Pyramid Scheme for Tomb Kings, Bite Club for vampires, Pox and Recreation for Nurgle. If the name makes your opponent groan before kickoff, it is doing its job.

Are these official Games Workshop team names?

No. These are new names written in the game's punning style for coaches naming their own teams. We have not compared them with every team and Star Player that Games Workshop has published, so if you want to stay clear of an official side such as the Reikland Reavers, the Gouged Eye or the Skavenblight Scramblers, look it up yourself. The list does use Old World places, gods and unit types as style anchors, the same way fan teams usually do.

How are the star player names put together?

Most follow the pattern the game uses: a first name that suits the race, then a nickname in quotes or a descriptive surname. Dregnak 'Late Hit' Gutstompa reads as an orc blitzer, Lady Sylvaine Neverfumble as an elf catcher and Tobias 'Second Helping' Underbough as a halfling. Swap the nickname for something your player actually did in a match.

Can I use these names in the video games or an online league?

Yes, they are meant for personal teams on the tabletop, in the video games and in online leagues. Each platform sets its own length limit and filters, so a long name such as Garden of Morr Groundskeepers may need trimming. Check that nobody else in your league already has the same name.
