“Hall of Fame” legendary players

In the brutal crucible of the Forge Breakers league, legends are not born – they’re forged in blood, bone, and broken armour. This Hall of Fame stands as a sacred shrine to the retired titans of the pitch: players whose feats of carnage, cunning, and sheer defiance of mortality have earned them eternal glory. Each inductee has left an indelible mark on the game, their names whispered in locker rooms and bellowed in taverns across Wiltshire. Whether touchdown machines, casualty-dealing nightmares, or fan-favourite misfits, these champions rose above the chaos to become icons. Here, we honour their legacy – not with flowers, but with stats, scars, and stories worth retelling

George ‘Gobbo’ Hayes

Gobbo Hayes became the first Forge Breaker inducted into the Hall of Fame after Season II in 2024, bowing out with a mighty 46 SPPs as The Good, The Beard and the Boobies clinched Division 1 promotion in a nail-biting finale.

With fresh Hobgoblin blood incoming, Hayes retired at his peak. These days, he’s swapped touchdowns for whetstones – running a boutique knife-sharpening business in Gash Kadrak.

Forge Breaker star players

Forge Breakers have never been content with the usual roster of glory-hogs. This section of our ‘hall of fame’ showcases our pantheon of custom star players — unique creations born from the fevered minds of our tournament organisers and unleashed upon the pitch during our NAF-approved tournaments. These aren’t just stat blocks with fancy names; they’re living legends, forged from lore, laughter, and a healthy disregard for balance. Take Barry the Snowman, a frosty obstructionist whose true talent lies in standing perfectly still at exactly the wrong time. Or Madame Mayhem, who stormed the pitch not for glory, but to resolve a heated family feud over pie shop ownership – with tackles, not talk. These stars aren’t just stat lines; they’re stories, spectacles, and the soul of what makes our league legendary.

Barry the Snowman

Our first custom star player, Barry the snowman, took to the field during Festive Throwdown 2023.

“I wanna build a snowman” special rule

Once per turn, a player may attempt to build a snowman in an adjacent empty square by declaring “I wanna build a snowman!” before activation. Roll a D6 – a 4+ succeeds, with +1 for each adjacent unmarked assisting player. Only one snowman per team may exist at a time. Snowmen don’t act, assist, or have tackle zones, and are removed if knocked over or at the end of a drive. For thematic fun, any ‘Scorching Heat’ rolled on the weather table is treated as ‘Blizzard’ instead.

Madame May-hem

In Pastryville, Granny Mayhem’s legendary pie shop was the pride of halfling cuisine – until her passing left the bakery without an heir. Her daughter, Madam May-hem, and granddaughter, Mademoiselle May-hem, soon found themselves locked in a bitter battle over ownership. Unable to resolve the feud peacefully, the pair turned to the most sacred halfling legal tradition: settling the dispute through a Blood Bowl tournament, with pies, pride, and pastry-based vengeance on the line.

“SNEAKIEST OF THE LOT” special rule

If your team includes Madame May-hem, you may commit two Foul actions per team turn, provided one of your Foul actions is committed by Madame May-hem herself. Madame May-hem cannot be taken in the same team as The Black Gobbo.

NAF tournament history

Welcome to the crucible of competition. The Forge Breaker Blood Bowl community proudly hosts NAF-sanctioned tournaments where legends are hammered into shape and rivalries are cast in iron. Whether you’re a seasoned coach chasing glory or a newcomer ready to roll skulls, our events blend brutal strategy, dramatic flair, and a touch of goblin mischief.

Festive Throwdown 2023

In December 2023, the Forge Breakers league unwrapped its first-ever NAF-approved tournament, ‘Festive Throwdown’ and what a gift it was. Thirty coaches descended upon the pitch like sugar-fuelled goblins at a toy shop, bringing holiday cheer, competitive carnage, and enough dice to make Santa reconsider his naughty list.

But this wasn’t just any tournament. Amid the touchdowns and tantrums, a new legend emerged: Barry the Snowman, a frosty obstructionist with zero mobility and even less regard for tactics. Built mid-match by enthusiastic players shouting “I wanna build a snowman!”, Barry became the mascot of the event – standing firm, getting in the way, and melting hearts (and game plans) wherever he appeared.

From festive fouls to blizzard-blessed brawls, ‘Festive Throwdown’ set the tone for what Forge Breakers do best: mixing lore, laughter, and lethal line-ups into one unforgettable Blood Bowl bash.

May-hem 2024

‘May-hem 2024’, our second NAF-approved tournament, saw 40 coaches descend upon Bargammons Tavern, claiming every table and barstool in the name of glorious gridiron carnage. The ale flowed, the dice rolled, and the screams of failed dodges echoed through the rafters.

At the heart of the madness stood a new icon: Madame May-hem, a custom star player with flair, fury, and a wardrobe that could kill. Equal parts pie making queen and chaos engine, she blitzed with style and fouled with sass, leaving a trail of drama and broken bones in her wake. Whether she was pirouetting through a cage or delivering unsolicited advice to referees, Madam May-hem made sure every match was a performance.

From tavern brawls to tactical brilliance, May-hem 2024 proved that the Forge Breakers don’t just host tournaments; they stage full-blown Blood Bowl spectacles. With 40 coaches packed into Bargammons like squigs in a sack, the mayhem was very real.
