His Pink Horrors won the kick and started thumping their way down the field, his beastmen caging the ball among themselves. Thankfully for me, they failed to do much damage and I was able to get a blitz onto the ball carrier and break the ball free of his loose cage and get hold of the ball. I scored on that last turn of the half.
In the second half, Darren kicked to me and got a blitz - not a great start. He sent his minotaur forward but thankfully he didn't do any damage. I got the ball up the field but had stupidly left my ball carrier open. Darren blitzed him and the ball neatly scattered into the waiting arms of one of his beastmen who danced down the field and threw it neatly to a team-mate. Before I knew it he'd equalised and we had four turns left of the game.
Receiving the ball again, I aimed my players away from his minotaur and tried to maximise my blocking and blitzes. It seemed to work as I took out a few of his players and his reduced numbers weren't able to stop my team pushing down the field. I scored again in my last turn although I had to go for it to do so, failing the first attempt which caused the heart to race - thankfully I had a spare re-roll left. It finished a 2-1 win to me.
It was a close game and very tactical - I couldn't have wished for a better game or a better opponent to finish my season with. So - that's it for Khorne's Killers. They got in twelve games and won nine of them which is a pretty good ratio for a Chaos team in a fairly bashy league.
The next season of the CBBBL league will take place next year and I've been challenged to try my hand at Vampires. I suspect they're going be worse than my Halflings are so it should be interesting, See you next year sports fans...
