  • Episode 14: Interview with Sven Drakenspear, the Lustria Croakers and a rumour
    Jun 16 2025

    Welcome to our anniversary episode!

    In this episode we look at:

    • What is happening in our local CQ region, in Queensland, in Australia and globally.
    • How our Tournament Series' (normal 11's and 7's) are progressing and who is currently leading
    • What is this rumour that is circulating, what do our regular commentators think about it and how much attention should we be paying to it?
    • The Lustria Croakers - who are they, when did they appear in Blood Bowl and where are they now?
    • We announce the winners of our most recent two Deadset Legends.
    • We talk to Sven Drakenspear about how Australian Blood Bowl is different to Blood Bowl elsewhere, how the Underworld Denizens and Chaos Dwarves are doing as a team and what the Eurobowl rules are doing to our statistics, amongst other topics.
