So that is how the number of players you can take were selected. Once we started designing the roster in line with Big 'Un background in mind it quickly became apparent we were looking at something of a Lizardmen variant. Although Trolls are not mentioned as having Big 'Uns it doesn't seem a stretch to have 'Uge Big 'Uns and I liked the comedic name as it is very in keeping with the humour of Blood Bowl. This is also true of Goblins, who the Orcs refer to as Little Big 'Uns, and like the orcs get equipped with the best armour. In Blood Bowl this player would be you the teams coach. The Warhammer background essentially says Orcs goal in life is to grow bigger and stronger all the time, the fittest biggest Orcs at the peak of their size are called Big 'Uns and they are led by the biggest of all Big 'Uns who they call their warboss. They are essentially really over sized orcs that are given the best armour. They are not Black Orcs, although their stat line is similar. Orc Big 'Uns are based on Big 'Uns from the Orc army book. The Big 'Uns as you can quite imagine are not the sharpest of players but what they lack in smarts they make up for in brute force much to their Warboses' delight. They called them Little Big 'Uns and 'Uge Big 'Uns. The only problem is Big 'Uns are quite rare, so to make up the numbers they took the biggest toughest Goblins they could find and the biggest Trolls too. Not great with the human languages the Orcs simply named these teams Big 'Uns. The big Warbosses started travelling round all the Orc clans and took the biggest Orcs they could find with them to start their own teams. In Orc training camps there is always one or two really big Orcs. Loner, Thick Skull, Always Hungry, Mighty Blow, Really Stupid, Regeneration, Throw Team-Mate
