Goblin: Fungus Loonies
Skaven: Pitfiends V (That's V for five.. The dude had four previous skaven teams demolished before he joined our league)
Wood Elf: The Men in Tights
Wood Elf: Woodstockers
Norse: Beerdrinkers and Hellraisers

Oh.. And I can't take credit for any of these names.. Just though I'd pass them on.. :)

When a league starts, most (if not all) the teams inscribed DO have names. But sooner or later those team names are forgotten. Coaches just say I´m gonna play Pepe´s undead tomorrow, or Nacho´s goats (chaos) crushed me today. Noone knows the names of those teams.

But still there are those really special teams, those that define themselves season after season and become famous. They are no longer refered as "Somenones´ dwarves" and so, but by their real name. And everybody in the league knows not only the race and the coach, but the names of some of their players too. Those are the real Legend Teams.

This status is achieved not only because a good name, but good player´s names, good "roleplaying", and sticking to the team no matter what happens (bad luck strikes, rules changes, whatever).

Here are our Legendary teams names:

Ankh-Morpork Motherf*ckers
Vicious and unreasonable dark elves. Bunch of elven goth posers trying to bash opponents. They always foul. Most unbeliveable and amusing plays ever.
Hall of Fame:
Piotr Murphy, dark elf blitzer
Siouxie, Witch Elf

Render Broncos
Orcs that like to pass the ball. Very solid team that almost never plays da cage. Probably best painted team around.
Hall of fame:
Zork Elfway, quarterback
Vexxon Blackmouth, unstoppable blitzer

El Laboratorio(The Lab)
Albino Skaven! White lab rats with cute pink tails. Well known for their precission gamestyle.
Hall of fame:
Algernon, pandimensional Gutter Runner
Cerebro (Brain), hyperintelligent lab rat thrower

Those teams have never dominated the league (the Broncos have played a couple of finals, but that´s all), but they are still more famous than teams that do dominate... :D

I also remember a chaos team run by our traditional halfling coach named Tzeentch Teeth Sculptors, that was sadly retired after first season. The guy went back to their beloved and beautifully painted halflings (and treemen).

I´m afraid I don´t have any pics (not a team of mine). But the team was nicely painted and looked very good, plus they were 2nd ed skaven miniatures. :o

Some guy tried to paint his new rats with those colour schemes but he screwed the whole thing. White fur is very difficult to paint.

I had a Dark Elf team that I called the Dark Sons. After 5 of them got AG upgrades the other guys in the league added a bitches to the name, making them, of course, the Dark Sons a bitches.

I also liked a Skaven team I had called the Bubonic Brotherhood
Snotlings Infectious Groove
Undead Decomposing Dirtbags
Orcs Green Tide There's a troll on there named Phlegmy Toungestrings

Just some of me favs I came up with.

I ended up naming my (DE) team the Gormenghast Maulers, and each of the players on the team has a name from the Gormenghast books by Mervyn Peake. The player names are pretty kewl: Steerpike, Alone, Pentecost, Titus and the like. My human pub team is named the Peanut Barrel Volunteers, after the pub I used to hang out at in East Lansing when I was an undergrad.

Team names I've been using recently:

Goblins: Da Maggot Scum
Amazons: Nuns of Nuffle Exalted (N.O.N.E.)

Good ones I remember are the Elfmonton Eskimos (Nordic Elf team),
Slayslashskawan Roughriders & Tor'onto Orcanaughts.

Gee can you tell I'm from the colonies. :smoking:

Even the Goblin coach gets a +1 to injury rolls! Ow!

That's what I meant. Around here most people use english names for their teams. I use english when I come up with a (well, IMO at least) very good english name, otherwise I tend to use finnish names.

Also, just FYI, they don't translate the rules around here...
