Discuss Fantasy football-style board games - GW's Blood Bowl, Impact!'s Elfball, Privateer Press' Grind, Heresy's Deathball, etc. THIS IS NOT AN NFL FANTASY FOOTBALL SITE!
My Halfling team (the Halves and Half-Nots, coached by Chutney Speared and sponsored by StickyBuns) are named after various NFL stars with food-related names like "Sloppy Joe" Montana, Daunte "Salt and" Culpepper and Howie "Foot" Long. My two Treemen are Ent Mologist and Sir Mare on Elm's Treat.
My Chaos Dwarf team (Nebby's Nebbishes, sponsored by the Church of Hashut as missionaries) has the Bull Centaurs and Dwarves named after Babylonian kings of Biblical times and the four Hobgoblin slaves are Shadrach, Meschach, Abednego and Azariah.
Our OrcaCola corporate team also has NFL names ranging from Terry Chainsaw to Mean Joe Greene.
The Amazon team (the Flying Nuns) uses the Shadowforge minis and has names like Sister "Oaf" Mercey, Dee "Snide" Err, Sister "Sledge" and Mad Anna.
The Norse team is based off the movie "The Replacements" and everyone's named after the characters in that. Jumbo Fumiko is the Ogre, of course.
Last but not least, our Lizardman team (the Leaping Lounge Lizards) has the "best" Las Vegas headliners gracing its roster, from Charo to Tom Jones to Carrot Top.

Sorry to bring this topic back again but I couldn't resist.

Should.t you have your head deep in your college books young man?
Oh man...as if it wasn't back enough with Valedictor and Niks being TBB's own 'Richard and Judy'..we now appear to have our own version of 'Steptoe & Son'...
I feel about 103 years old...
Is the NAF UK organiser thing hereditary by any chance? Pass the zimmer frame...

"Deathwing treats newcomers like sh*t" "...the brain dead Mod.."
My ECCBL human team (the Tempus Few Gits) has been named entirely after famous archaeologists, most of them dead except the Time Team namesakes. Obviously the ogre will be called Carenza.
Also has a few other name generators on it, including...
Vampire - "Julius Sangria"
Evil deity - "Xoeplipc, The Manipulator of Souls"
Elf - "Gihalbons Coldwanderer"
Dwarf - "Novder Warmail"
And a great generic name generator, with Celtic, barbarian, scandanvian, aztec and Japanense
