After a successful launch of our new "Seasonal System Focus" in late 2025, it is time to turn the page. For the second half of 2025, our group was fully committed to Warhammer Age of Sigmar, and the results were great: fully painted armies, everyone on the same page with the rules, and epic battles across the Mortal Realms.
But as our democratic seasonal vote dictated, it’s time for a new challenge. For the first half of 2026 (H1), we are trading our swords for pigskins and diving headfirst into Blood Bowl 3rd Edition!
While AoS allowed us to paint massive armies, Blood Bowl is a breath of fresh air. A "Beer & Pretzels" game where the hobby effort is concentrated on a small squad. It’s fast-paced, hilarious, and the perfect follow-up to our big AoS battles.
In the current Blood Bowl 3rd Edition, Black Orcs are a premier control team, built to dictate the line of scrimmage.
After a few productive nights at the painting desk, the "Schädelgrund Brecher" are ready for kickoff. Here is my roster:

The Power of Focus: Our Seasonal System Focus
To avoid "hobby butterfly" syndrome and rule fatigue, we follow a Seasonal System Focus: Every six months, we democratically elect one game to be our sole priority. This ensures everyone has a painted army and knows the rules inside out.While AoS allowed us to paint massive armies, Blood Bowl is a breath of fresh air. A "Beer & Pretzels" game where the hobby effort is concentrated on a small squad. It’s fast-paced, hilarious, and the perfect follow-up to our big AoS battles.
Introducing: The Schädelgrund Brecher (Black Orcs)
For my start into Blood Bowl and our Blood Bowl Seasonal System Focus for the first half-year 2026, I’ve chosen the Black Orcs. I wanted a team that embodies brute force and tactical discipline. Also I have never in my life painted orcs!!In the current Blood Bowl 3rd Edition, Black Orcs are a premier control team, built to dictate the line of scrimmage.
After a few productive nights at the painting desk, the "Schädelgrund Brecher" are ready for kickoff. Here is my roster:
- The Boss: Grimgor Kieferbruch is the undisputed leader of the mob.
- The Muscle: My Black Orc Blockers Gorgulk, Mograt, Thokk, Zorgat, and Oglok are the iron wall of the team.
- The Heavyweight: Our Troll, Kieselkauer, is already looking for a snack on the sidelines.
- The Specialists: My Goblins Gribbit, Zink, Flitzie, Kratzbuckel, Fieser Finger, and "Snotty" the throw-fodder provide the speed (and the chaos).

Ready for January
I am incredibly hyped for our first matches this month. The competition is fierce this season! Besides my Schädelgrund Brecher, the local league features some very interesting (and soon-to-be-smashed) contenders:- Bilker Gnomeads (Gnomes)
- Nehekarische Knochen Hunde (Tomb Kings)
- Benrath Barons (Elves)
It’s going to be a wild mix of tricky Gnomes, ancient undead, and arrogant Elves. Plenty of skulls for my Black Orcs to grind into the ground!
