They are basically the team’s Blitzers, they gain the skill Stab which represents the “Touch” ability of a wraith. They basically look like the archetypal Death image - a floating cloak, hooded figure with a skeletal hand. Wraiths – have been around since 2nd edition warhammer and now feature in the vampire counts army again. This stat line later changed to no hands, ag5 titchy which feels a better fit thematically and strategically. As this team is undead and has a Necromancer when an opponent player is killed they will be raised as a ghost or spirit host as they are now called. Regenerate was added because they regenerate. Their Ethereal ability as mentioned above is represented as Leap + VLL, Foul Appearance was added to represent the fear they cause in their opponents. Spirit Hosts – are your basic ghosts, in 3rd edition warhammer they were just called ghosts but in more recent vampire counts rules they have become known as spirit hosts so I elected to use this name as it is up to date. Because of this it became clear we were working on a Undead version of Slann. Those skills represent the player’s ability to turn invisible and move through any object. Throughout all the teams the ability to turn Ethereal is represented by having the Leap and Very Long Legs skill. Also Spirits and Banshees are mentioned in Blood Bowl Catalogue 2003 and had models. Now Ethereal teams haunt leagues throughout the Old World.įirst of all the reason for this teams existence in this league is Ethereal team were mentioned in the 2nd edition rule book. With this the NAF rule the Grogaldr's team could play. Grogladr had to enchant the opposing teams gauntlets pre game so the opposition could beat the ectoplasm out of the spirit hosts. Only the Wraiths and Banshees have the ability to turn corporeal and incorporeal at will, giving the ghosts the much needed ball handling skills they always lacked.Įven with the addition of the Wraiths and Banshees - Ethereal teams were still composed mostly of incorporeal players on the pitch so the Blood Bowl governing body still refused to let them play. Under the guidance of Grogaldr a powerful Necromancer who had convinced Wraiths and Banshees to join forces with Spirint Hosts to make an ethereal team. It was years before Ethereal teams would make their comeback. Some believe the game is still going on today though The Cave soon emptied of its 90,000 fans so no one can be sure. The problem was the Phantoms couldn’t pick the ball up and their head coach cast a spell on the Dark Elf team turning them ethereal too. They played one game vs The White Bay Arrows a Dark Elf team, held in their home stadium, simply called The Cave. The first and only Ethereal team for many years was the Frozen Phantoms. The necromancer works in the same way as in Undead teams, but the player raised is a Spirit Host.įrozen Phantoms, first mentioned in 2nd edition stars book.
