Slann
Credits for the Slann team go out to:
Team Background:
In fact, there are only a few Slann teams around. Those that do exist are reasonably good, their only weakness being the Slann's poor throwing and kicking ability. Most famous of all Slann players is Lottabottol of the Lustria Croakers, whose record number of interceptions has led to him being nicknamed 'The Leaper'. Fond memories are also held of the Croakers' astonishing Catcher, Quetzal Leap, who seemed to be able to take the ball wherever it was thrown!
But there is little to marvel at in the Slann game beyond an ability to outjump Norse Storm Giants. Their arrogance makes them pick the hardest games, nearly always including the Cowboys, the Reavers, the Raiders, and the Chaos All-Stars in their itinerary. This, and their position in one of the toughest division in the NAF - NFC West - makes their chances of success always slight, though Lustrians recall with relish their appearance in Blood Bowl XIX at the beginning of the rise to power of the Reikland Reavers. Twice halted at the one pace line, their aerial game finally came to grief with the loss of one Catcher after another.
Or, as they put it at the time: "We croaked!"
NAF FACTS: The Lustria Croakers are, once again, this seasons most sponsored team. Quite apart from their multi-million deal with Croak-a-Cooler, they have contracts with several running shoe manufacturers, a major car recovery company (whose catch phrase is "we found a wreck and toad it away") and the publishers of the banned book Fly Catcher is making the best-seller lists everywhere.
Lustria Croakers Team Chant: You think you're smart, You think you're wizz, Well just remember whose planet this is.

The Slann are an ancient race who once roamed the stuff of Chaos in their marvelous silver spaceships. But no longer - the Slann have long since degenerated and the techological marvels they once produced are now a thing of the past. So low have they sunk into barbarity that they even (shudder) play Blood Bowl. How uncivilized can you get?!

Stadium:
The pitch in a Slann stadium is springy rubber instead of Astrogranite. As a result, during any home game in a Slann Stadium all injury rolls for any player (either team) are at -1 and any Agility roll for any player using the Leap skill (either team) is made with a +1 modifier (a natural 1 is still a failure).
Star Players: (Note: the MBBL does not use Star Players)

Suggested miniatures:
GW-UK used to have Slann minatures in the archive service. I got an entire team a while back which I'll a picture of someday up on the site. Otherwise, look for human sized frog miniatures to convert.
