All-Thumbs AnkleBiters vs. Kobb's Khorne
Khorne elects to kickoff. They set up with their newly-third-armed man deep, and otherwise in their normal formation.
A1: The Halflings leech a reroll, and get a quick snap. They immediately use said reroll in picking up the ball. Then a treeman immediately knocks out a beastman.
K1: Khorne manages to take both treemen down.
A2: Another reroll burned standing up a treeman. The Halflings hearts just aren't in the game yet, as all of their attempts to gang up on Beastmen lead to pushes. Finally, a halfling fails a dodge.
K2: A reroll burned on a double-skull gang-up on the treeman doesn't leave a reroll to spare when the *other* double-skull gang-up on the *other* treeman comes up. D'oh! The Chaos Warrior even managed to stun himself in the process.
A3: The halfling runner gets the ball over the midfield line.
K3: Khorne gets a treeman down, a warrior deep, and a beastman in the path of the ballcarrier.

K8: Attempts for Blood for the Blood god fail.
Halftime Score: All-Thumbs AnkleBiters 0-0 Kobb's Khorne
K9: Khorne lines up in their three-arm-back formation. The Halfling Master Chef ensures that Khorne will have only 1 reroll to 6. It takes all four Chaos warriors to knock over a single halfling on the line. Three-arm manages to pick up the ball and run it forward, but muffs the pass, leading to the use of the lone reroll... followed by a muffed catch.
A9: A halfling gets thrown downfield; another picks up the ball and runs backward.
K10: A beastman takes out a halfling in a sacrificial block.
A10: The ball carrier double-dodges down the middle, and then manages to pass the ball to the awaiting receiver. All without using a reroll. An impressive play!
K11: Khorne can't get anyone to the ball carrier.
A11: The halfling runs the ball in.
K12: The halflings are finally short-handed, with only 10 players that can be fielded. The ball lands right behind the line of scrimage, with a quick snap by Khorne helping to collapse the team toward the middle of the field. Both treemen go down, while the halflings all manage to stay on their feet. The three-armed bandit gets the ball a few yards over the line of scrimmage, behind his Chaos Warrior lead blockers.
A12: An attempted blitz by a treeman fails when he refuses to stand up. The line of four halflings all try to run away... only one gets tackled.
K13: Khorne begins to set up a wall. A three die blitz by a Chaos warrior... comes up skull, both down, both down, leaving the flank of the three-armed bandit no longer protected.

Final score: All-Thumbs AnkleBiters 2-0 Kobb's Khorne
Thoughts: You can't afford bad luck against a Halfling Master Chef. Sadly, the 2/3 chance of things-that-don't-knock-me-down on two dice and the 1/3 chance of a regular block both did not manage to happen, even with a high block volume. In a more developed Chaos team fielding some players with Block and/or tackle, this would have been less problematic, but there wasn't much margin for error here.
