Turns out the last tournament wasn't my farewell to #bloodbowl BB2020: this evening is the away leg of our Bracknell vs Aldershot 10 vs 10 rivalry game. I'm playing orcs vs Hekdar's Norse, same as the home fixture. 1-0 down at the half but 2 players up. Will go for the win ...

Hobby update: after that Slann team speedpaint I fancied doing more of the #bloodbowl stadium. I did the turn, reroll and score boards and all the little numbers. Love these big pieces, where you don't need to be neat, as a palette cleanser.

Saltmound supreme - fun to go to a tournament with such unusual rules (high gold, progression skills) and glad I got to run the Slann out. I finished 2-1-0 for 6th place out of 26. Congrats to purplechest who won with the only 3-0-0 score. I won Most Touchdowns with 9. #bloodbowl

Game 3 of Saltmound Supreme vs Seb's chorfs. Very much like the last game, I finished the first half 2-0 up on his drive. Scored on T3 if second half, won 3-1 and suffered 8 casualties. Slann have been great today! My opponent took the frogging very well, fun final game of BB2020 #bloodbowl.

Game 2 of Saltmound Supreme vs Monkeyrage's ogres with Varag and Fungus. Before the game my Krox learnt block, a frog wrestle and another frog block. Despite the kroxigor dying in the first half, everything else goes great and I turn him over twice in the first half. Finishes 4-1 to me. #bloodbowl

Game 1 of Saltmound Supreme vs Cyritz's chorfs. My frog 2-uphills the bull with the ball. I have wrestle-strip but roll double pow anyway :). 1-0 at the half. 2nd half I score on turn 3, but he quickly returns with Skitter to make it 2-1. I can't hold out with my few frogs so it ends 2-2 #bloodbowl

This week at #boardgames night we went back to Egypt in the #arkhamhorrorTCG scenario The Night's Usurper. Ursula, Mark and Patrice went on an expedition into the desert, found a gate to the dreamlands, befriended some nighthaunts, then dealt with a nasty cultist to save the earth - you're welcome!

Woohoo, I finished my Slann #bloodbowl team with 3 days to go before the tournament. I finished the bases with some AK Puddles and some tufts, then painted the eyes. Decided not to edge highlight because its a speed-paint and there aren't so many sharp edges that really need it. #minipainting

Slann WIP update, with 4 evenings to go: I daubed everyone with a 1:1 mix of quinacridone magenta and Windsor purple oils (second pic), then after 30 min wiped most off with a sponge. Then a darkline wash with a black/purple oil mix. Then drybrushed the bases with greens. #bloodbowl #minipainting

Slann painting WIP with 5 days to go until my tournament: I got some colours down everywhere with contrasts and inks. I thought liquitex inks would be good for slann skin because they dry satin. Remaining to do: shading, some refinement, and the bases. #bloodbowl #minipainting

Took 2 minutes off my PB at parkrun today, 40.06. Getting better, didn't walk today. Just ran really slowly!

This week at #boardgames night we played Lost Ruins of Arnak with some number of expansions. I was the professor this time, doing lots of things related to artifacts and research. I used two hot air balloons to go fight some monsters. Good game!

I like to paint at a leisurely pace - #bloodbowl teams normally take me months. But I decided to paint a Slann team in 2 weeks for a tournament, to get them crossed of the list of teams. So we'll get the contrast paints out and try to do these quickly! Could be a fun challenge?

I got home to see that all of the new season's #bloodbowl rosters had been spoiled, so here's a thread on my scalding hot takes for each team. I've used Nazgob's website which sets out the differences: 2025.nazgob.co.uk.

In a little holding pattern while we wait for the new edition of #bloodbowl, so I painted 2 star players from my unpainted box: Morg and Griff by Agema minis. #minipainting

This week at #boardgames night we played #ArkhamHorrorTCG. 4 investigators visited Cairo, where people were falling asleep and not waking. We checked out the city, had a trip into the desert, then came back again to whack the head cultist causing it all. A good night's work. I played Ursula Downs.

Game 3 of MCC vs Stewart's Undead. I receive and surf 2 players with the rat ogre, scoring on my drive. In the second half I get the sack but can't get it safe. He gets it back to score and I have 3 turns left. We both only have 8 men and I get the winning score from a hand-off! #bloodbowl

Game 2 of MCC vs Garvfield's Orcs. A tricky drive but I get the TD, but Mike scores a throw team mate TD to equalise at the half. My defence is quite good and he can't make a 4,4,3,2 on his T16 to win, so a 1-1 draw and a good game. #bloodbowl

Game 1 of MCC vs 13silver's Snotlings. A great start for my Renegades as I pitch clear him by turn 6. He has a full team in the second half but I get the win 2-0 when he fails a TTM in the second half. #bloodbowl
