Zoat Star Player - Laargil Thickhide
Posted: Tue Aug 10, 2010 3:42 pm
So I was digging through my 40k Zoat army and it occurred to me that this 'counts as' leaping Tyranid Warrior might make a suitable Zoat Blood Bowl player:
Laargil Thickhide: Amazon, Lizardman, Wood Elf
250k, 6 5 3 8, Loner, Break Tackle, Mighty Blow, Stand Firm, Sure Feet, Thick Skull
Background
Everyone knows that dangerous creatures live in the deep dark woods. A few people know that some of these dangerous creatures have four legs, two arms and scaly skins. Most of these creatures stay in the deep, dark wood, but one smelled the whiff of blood and hot-dogs, heard the cracking of armour, the roar of the crowd, and started thinking there’s more to life than woodland glades, mossy beds and babbling brooks.
In 2489 Laargil Thickhide the Zoat wandered unwittingly into the Wood Elf settlement of Celadillian Dell, entertaining the Greenwood Wildcats depleted by the desertion of many of their key players to teams with a fuller purse. Blinking and unsure, Laargil was transfixed as the elven Wildcats were thrashed by the Ostlund Oldboys 0-5. Immediately after the game, Laargil threw down his wormwood staff offered beleagured Wildcats coach Neniun Farsight his raw potential and was immediately signed up. Four years on and Laargil’s desirable playing skills much needed steel to the Wildcats’ scrimmage and provided the springboard for great success. Laargil has since been courted by a number of teams for exhibition matches and knock-out competitions; some teams have even sent scouts into the woods in search of the next Zoat player, but none have returned!
Off the pitch, Laargil can appear like a country bumpkin, with his rural vowels, penchant for tankards of fermented dog-apple cider and gawping at any building over two stories in height. Ulf the Hawkfisted of the Norsca Rangers was the last to mention these quaint mannerisms directly to Laargil’s face during the Reikland Open Elevens semi-final in 2492; Laargil treated Ulf to an extended trampling by his full 2000 lbs, making a rather nasty greasy smear on the grass, having barely paused from chewing his grass stalk.
What do you think? Basically he's a big guy with the lower torso of a rhino, hence the skills. Zoats were supposed to be pretty intelligent, so no Bonehead. What do you think a rookie Zoat might look like?

Maybe PM Galak to get the formula?
