Bargammon had always been a wizard of… let’s call it flexible priorities. One moment he’s poring over ancient board games, muttering about missing tokens and card sleeves; the next he’s loudly insisting that the true purpose of magic was to improve tavern ambience and keep the ale at precisely the right temperature.

But even a wizard of his eccentric calibre could not ignore the growing roar drifting through the realms: the unmistakable, irresistible chaos of Blood Bowl.

According to Bargammon, it began with a vision. According to Mellie, it began with him falling asleep face‑down in a puddle of mead. Either way, he awoke proclaiming that the fates had spoken. The teams of the Old World needed him. Not as a star player—heaven forbid, he’d once sprained his wrist lifting a particularly heavy spellbook—but as something far more vital.

A mascot.

Not just any mascot, mind you. The mascot. A robed, bearded, slightly singed embodiment of arcane encouragement. A sideline sorcerer whose cheers came with a faint smell of ozone and the occasional accidental firework. A mystical hype‑mage.

He strode into the Tavern, climbed onto a table, and declared:

“Forge Breaker coaches! I, Bargammons the Magnificent, have peered into the swirling mists of destiny and seen your triumphs. But you will need guidance. You will need inspiration. You will need… me (for 25,000 gold pieces).”

The room erupted – not in applause, but in the kind of resigned acceptance one develops when a wizard has already set three coasters on fire that week.

And so it was decided. Bargammon would project fragments of his essence – tiny, perfectly formed miniature versions of himself – into the hands of every coach. Each one, hopefully, imbued with a spark of his enthusiasm, a dash of his luck, and just enough magic to make referees uneasy without being able to prove anything.

Now, whenever a team takes to the pitch, a little Bargammon can stand proudly on the sideline: beard blowing in a wind that isn’t there, staff humming with barely contained encouragement, ready to cheer, jeer, or accidentally summon a small frog if morale requires it.

He has entered the Blood Bowl universe not to dominate, not to conquer, but to do what he does best—cause just enough magical nonsense to make the game more fun.

And the coaches? They wouldn’t have it any other way.

Bargammon Team Mascot model will be available to coaches who play their round 4 match at Bargammons between 11th March and 31st March (the models will be in the BGs cupboard early for those playing ahead).
