The Stout Lads are not fast, subtle, or especially sober. Broad of shoulder, wide of girth, and permanently damp with spilled ale, they believe Blood Bowl should be played the same way a proper stout is brewed: slowly, repeatedly, and with enough pressure that something eventually bursts. Opponents quickly discover that once the Stout Lads plant their boots, shifting them is harder than moving a tavern bench that’s been bolted to the floor and the wall.​​​
The team’s origins lie in a long-abandoned mining outpost where the ale ran dry long before the grudges did — an administrative error that nearly ended civilisation. When a travelling merchant arrived with tales of a surface sport where grudges were settled with fists, helmets, and the occasional flying body, the locals were immediately interested. Training began at once, though it mostly consisted of standing in a line while being hit, pushed, and occasionally sat on by volunteers of increasing size. Those who stayed upright made the team. Those who didn’t were promoted to “motivational examples.”
Now the Stout Lads take to the pitch with bellies full, beards braided, and flasks hidden in places the referees have learned not to check. They are not here to dazzle, and they are certainly not here to hurry. They are here to grind the game down to their pace, drink the post-match winnings, and remind the league that whether you’re talking about Dwarfs or beer, stout is best enjoyed thick, heavy, and in quantities that make sensible folk nervous.
