Your image above is shot at f/8, ISO 50 and shutter speed 1/100. Let's convert those settings into what you could conceivably do with a B1 and HSS.
You had 1 stop of headroom against the sync speed, so you could have actually used half the flash power.... let's call it f/8, ISO 100, 1/200. With roughly 200-250 Ws to play with, (full power in HSS mode at the sync speed), you could create that look with a medium sized softbox at perhaps 6-8 feet, or a hard reflector at 10-15 feet, or a high efficiency reflector at maybe 20-25 feet (just guessing based on experience).
Now what HSS allows you to do is take that f/8 ISO 100 1/200 exposure and lighting ratio against ambient and play around with shutter speed and DOF - all without changing the lighting ratio. You could change your settings to get a cool shallow DOF by shooting at f/1.4 and 1/3000 ISO 100 and keep the same lighting ratio/look. You could also try to keep more DOF but freeze motion by shooting at f/4 and 1/6000 at ISO 800 - you'd have a little grain from the ISO bump but still decent image quality.
So yes, the B1 will recreate that look.
