Anton 'Bomber' Braun – Blood Bowl Blitzer


Born and raised in Mordheim, Anton Braun used to dream about being the star blitzer of his beloved team the Mordheim Comets. Luckily for Anton, he was spotted by the Comets' head coach and signed up – he was a natural; fast, tough and fearless. Anton, the home-town boy turned star blitzer, quickly became a fan favourite.

Sadly it was not to last; after two seasons with the Comets, destruction befall his city. All his team mates, his coach, the cheerleaders and most of the fans are dead... or worse.

Anton refuses to leave his beloved home, hiring himself out to the various mercenary warbands to help earn enough to survive.


I knew I wanted to represent Blood Bowl amongst the Hirelings and this Mark Copplestone sculpted human blitzer from the early days of BB was perfect.  The name is, of course, a nod to one of the greatest West Bromwich Albion players of all time, Tony 'Bomber' Brown.

    1. Cheers dude - I wasn't brave enough to try the stripes he should have had, so just went with the colours overall.

      Although I now want to do a Kyrill des Königs too as a homage to the big man!
