Border Princes

Big Guys:
The Border Princes do not have Big Guy. However, a Vampire Count has been known to assist the team from time to time as an ALLY. ALLY players cannot use team rerolls.

New skills:
Honorable: This player may never foul or assist in a foul action. Although this is a Negative skill, it may not be removed on a doubles roll for the Star Player Roll.

Extra Team Rules:
Border Princes are appalled by cheating and fouling. If a Border Prince is fouled, all the Border Princes players gain the Frenzy trait as long as the fouling player is on the pitch or until the end of the drive. If the fouling player is caught by the referee and ejected from the game, at the start of his next turn, the Border Prince player MAY select one team player from the field or MUST select one team player in uninjured reserve and remove him for the rest of the game. (Clarification: if there is a player in uninjured reserve for the Border Princes one player from the pitch or the uninjured reserves must be selected. If there are no players in uninjured reserves, selecting a player from the pitch is optional). This player meets the player in the locker room to settle the score. Roll a D6.
On a 2 or higher, the ejected fouling player makes an injury roll with a +ST modifier using the Border Prince player's strength.
On a 1, the Border Prince player gets caught by the Reserve players from the opposing team while getting his revenge. Both the fouling player and the Border Prince player must make an injury roll with a +ST modifier. Use the Border Prince player's strength for the roll for the fouling player, and the strength of the strongest player in the opposing teams Reserve Box for the roll for the Border Prince player.

-------------------------------------------------------------- This ends the MBBL2 League Rules for this team ----------------------------------------

Wizard: The MBBL does not use Wizards.
The Border Princes team may have a standard Human Wizard for 150,000 with Fireball, Zap!, and Lightning Bolt spells.

Stadium rules:
Border Princes may only purchase Terracing or a Stadium, they may not purchase or upgrade to a Grandstand.
The Border Princes' fans dislike cheating as much as the players. If an opposing player successfully fouls a Border Prince player (ie breaks armour), the Border Prince coach rolls 2D6 and compares the results to the combined strength of all of the opposing team's players in uninjured Reserves.
If the total dice roll is high than the opposing players' combined strength, then the Border Prince fans have rushed the bench in full anger. Roll for the effects of possible injuries straight away for each uninjured player in the opposing team's Reserves box (no armour roll is required).
If the total dice roll is lower or equal to the players' combined strength, the players are able to successfully subdue the outraged fans.

Star Players: The MBBL does not use Star Players

New skills:
Bullet Throw
Bullet Throw is a passing skill that can only be used by a player with a minimum strength of 4 and agility of 3. If the player with this skill has the ball, he may throw it at extremely high speed at any player that is not in an adjacent square. Roll to see if the player is successful throwing the ball as normal (expect that this pass may not be intercepted or Pass Blocked). If the pass is successful, the player to whom the ball is thrown makes a Strength roll with a +1 modifier to the dice roll (+2 modifier if the thrower also has the Strong Arm skill). If the modified roll is less than or equal to the targeted player's strength, they may attempt to catch the ball as though it was thrown to them (+1 modifier for accurate pass). If the modified roll is higher than the targeted players strength, the targeted player is nailed by the pass unaware. Make an injury roll straight away (no armour roll is required) with one of the following modifiers for the distance of the pass: +2 for Quick Pass Range, +1 for Short Pass Range, 0 for Long Pass Range, -1 for Long Bomb Range. If the player with the Bullet Throw skill also has the Strong Arm skill, add an additional +1 to the injury roll. After hitting the targeted player, the ball scatters one square from the target player. Using the Bullet Throw skill will result in a turnover unless the Bullet Throw is caught by a friendly player or successfully hits the targeted player who then fails the Strength roll. If the ball hits the targeted player and he fails the Strength roll, it will not count as a turnover even though the ball then scatters one square (the refs love this play when it works too much to blow the whistle). Use of this skill does count as the team's pass action for this turn.

Suggested miniatures:
My recommendation for creating a Border Princes team is to use Blood Bowl human players. I used pewter figs from the Marauders boxed set, 6 Human Plastic Sprues, and 2 Pink Horrors. I used the pewter figs for the star players and the plastic ones for the normal players.
The Lineman are easy. Just use Human Lineman, no conversion is necessary.
For the Catchers, saw off the catching hand of one Human Catcher and carefully glue it to the side of another Human Catcher.
For the Throwers, saw off or clip off the hand with the football from a Human Thrower. Saw off one of the two Big Hands from the below Chaos Tzeentch Pink Horror figure and glue a football from the Human plastic sprue into it. Glue the Big Hand with football back onto the Human Thrower.
For the Warrior Blitzers, remove the head from any extra Human player and add it to a Human Blitzer. You may need to file down the shoulders to get the extra head to fit properly. If you really like conversion, remove the head from the Human Blitzer as well. Then center the two heads on the top of the filed down shoulders of the Blitzer.
For the wizard, I used a Ral Partha Illusionist. I cut out his magic ball of power and then the rest of ball holding hand. I glued the ball of power into the left hand of Headsplitter (You can use the rest of the torso to make the star player Scraps for the Golem team). I attached the large hand back on the wizard to complete the fig.
For the apothecary, I cut off the nonstaff holding arm from one Reaper Krupp and trimmed out the staff. I glued the staff into the raised hand of another Reaper Krupp and then glued the other arm underneath it.
