History
Originally called the Vynheim Valkyries they were fishermen who made their knockabout games of football official and established a proper Blood Bowl team. As it was mainly made of Berserkers they thrashed the other two-bit teams in their league and went fully professional in 2442 IC with the help of Skalgrimm & Holst Associates.[1]
In 2463, to the shock of many they beat the Reikland Reavers winning Blood Bowl III, partially as it was played on ice at the Longship Stadium and the Reavers insisted they would use flat-shoed shoes and wear short-sleeved shirts despite advice to the contrary! The Gouged Eye were more prepared in 2474 IC but 'Axeface' Manglesson managed to deal with all but one of the Gouged Eye's first eleven.[1]
2489 IC and the collapse of the NAF led Skalgrimm to withdraw their sponsorship which in turn led to the team storming the company headquarters, burning the plant to the ground before kidnapping the board for ransom. The Valkyries went into hiding and then changed their name to the Norsca Rampagers and denied any involvement in any of the previous incidents. After one investigating official has a team training incident, the others decide not to press the matter.[1]
After a 5-0 loss to the Moot Mighties, Mad Jake McDeath, the Head Coach dies of apoplexy whilst screaming at the team and he is replaced by Axeface. He begins a uniquely brutal coaching regime and they begin to go from strength to strength.[1]
