Not even the most in-control Vampire can escape the
hunger forever, and will inevitably fall to their inescapable
bloodlust at some point in their career — although it
takes some far longer than others. When this eventually
happens to a Vampire, they go about a number of both
physical and mental changes, Gone is the calm and
sophisticated demeanour of their former selves, replaced
instead with a raging animalistic fury (you could say
they've been driven batty, eh readers! -- Ed) complete
with elongated claws, more pointed ears, and a tendency
to stop for a bite that little bit more frequently!
If the player rolls lower than the number shown in brackets, or rolls a
natural 1, they may continue their activation as normal though they may
change their declared action to a Move action if they wish. If the player
declared an action that can only be performed once per team turn (such
as a Blitz action) this will still count as the one of that action for the team
turn. At the end of their activation they may bite an adjacent Thrall Lineman
teammate (Standing, Prone or Stunned). If they bite a Thrall, immediately
make an Injury roll for the Thrall treating any Casualty result as Badly Hurt;
this will not cause a Turnover unless the Thrall was holding the ball. If they
do not bite a Thrall for any reason then a Turnover is caused, the player will
lose their Tackle Zone until they are next activated, and will immediately drop
the ball if they were holding it. If the player was in the opposing End Zone,
no touchdown is scored. If a player who failed this roll wants to make a Pass
action, Hand-off, or score then they must bite a Thrall before they perform the
action or score.

VARANHEIM VAMPIRES
The Varanheim Vampires entered the
inaugural Forge Bowl with the aim
of adding a first major accolade to
their trophy cabinet. Despite some
questionable defending in the early
rounds, which was later put down
to the coach's insistence on eating
a very garlicky lunch before giving
a half-time team talk, the Vampires
reached the final in dominating
fashion. After a hard fought match,
with both teams 'forgetting' the
rules on a couple of occasions, the
Vampires unfortunately came up
short. Although they were awarded
some lovely pure silver medals for
their achievements, the team refused
to collect them out of fear the metal
might sear through their flesh if they

ailing the high seas can be a daunting
experience for any Blood Bowl team,
especially for one that is embarking on
its maiden voyage to participate in a foreign
tournament. This is particularly true in the
waters surrounding the principality of Sartosa,
where ships have been known to be set upon
by strange creatures, disappear into the ocean,
or even be boarded by a rival team looking to
'recruit' additional players. Although this is
usually done by wannabe pirates looking to
make a quick bit of gold, there is one name that
in recent years has become notorious for their

square must immediately make an Agility test after declaring what action
they will perform. If the Agility test is failed, make an Armour roll against
the player as they fail to avoid the flames. If the Armour of the player is
broken, they are Placed Prone and an Injury roll is made against them. This
will not cause a Turnover unless the player who was Placed Prone was also
carrying the ball. If the player's Armour is not broken, they may continue their
activation as normal.
CAUGHT IN TRAFFIP
We remember Kaleb Nlathesius, Thrall Lineman for the
Sanguine Seekers. In a game against the Ironforged
Albion, Kaleb had an unfortunate and extremely
one-sided run-in with a Deathroller when he tripped
and fell right into its path. The resulting blood spray
landed mostly in the outstretched hands and open
mouths of the nearby Vampires, who made the most
of the refreshing top-up before swiftly dismantling
the death machine and, shortly after, the rest of the
Dwarf squad!
THE GRACEFUL 8
We remember the 'Graceful 8', a self-named small
group of Drakfang Thirsters fans obsessed with the
passing and running game — or, as they claim, the
elegant side of Blood Bowl. During a match against
the Norsca Rampagers, the 'Graceful 8' were loudly
protesting against the "bashy" play style of the
Rampagers, suggesting they try "proper Blood
Bowl". By this point, the Rampagers' fans were
itching for a scrap, and the ill thought out jeering
was all the encouragement a few of them (110 if
the post-match incident report is to be believed —

the game. That said, there is one small issue with Vampires —their coirsta—
craving for claret.
The walking food source, Thrall Linemen make up the bulk of your roster. At just 40,000 gold pieces they're cheap for
their Strength 3 and Agility 3+, although with an Armour Value of just 8+ they won't hold up for long when getting
blocked. Though they may seem expendable, Thralls are vital to your strategy; make sure you position them where you
want your Vampires to end up; that way, if a Vampire fails their Bloodlust roll they still have a tasty Thrall to snack on.
Vampire Runners have an incredible Movement Allowance of 8, making them one of the fastest players in the game.
Combined with their Agility of 2+, this means they're great not just for scoring, but also for getting in and around
whatever formation your opponent uses, taking away opposition Tackle Zones with Hypnotic Gaze, or being ready to
receive the ball. However, they're not as strong as your other Vampires, and with their weaker AV they can be fragile.
Its best to keep them protected until you are ready to make your move.

Vampire Throwers are the beating heart of any Vampire team (not literally of course — Ed). With Bloodlust (2+)
they're reliable and make for ideal ball carriers. With their ST 4 and AG 2+ they are difficult for the opponent to pin
down and can either run with the ball themselves, or use their PA of 2+ to make a key pass to an open Vampire
Runner. On defence, they're great for making key Hypnotic Gaze rolls to unlock the opposition's formation, letting

best to save your Blazers until later on in the turn, before unleashing their ravenous fury upon the opposition!
Vargheists are the strongest player on a Vampire team. With the Claws skill, a Vargheist will never need to roll better
than an 8+ when making an Armour roll making them likely to break lots of armour, and probably take a couple of
players out for good measure. Frenzy gives them another opportunity to Block a player should they fail the first time,
though be careful as this can leave them out of position without a nearby Thrall to snack on!
