Blood bowler, cat wrangler, general ne'erdowell.

Not actually called Dave.
Welsh National Champs is done and 3 Scots finish in the top 20.
- Camelchops in 6th
- Blitzy in 15th
- TalonBay in 18th

Congrats to all of them - plus well done to the winner: Chuck-Dredd (5-1-0) with OWA.

All teams had 1170 and the same skillpack so interesting to see what works and what doesn't.

So Blood Bowl today went well and I went 3-0-0 at Tiny Titans 2 - taking home the coveted trophy. However, with it being a stunty tournament, pretty much any of the games could have gone either way - but I'm pleased nonetheless.

Anyway big (not Tiny) tournament news is that Welsh Open is on now.

So the mushroom-themed Snotling Blood Bowl Team "Shiitake for Brains" will take to the field this weekend for larks, hijinks and shenanigans galore.

Non-NAF and truly S&G but we'll see how we do.

And yes, I have 2 wildly differently-sized trolls.

Quick and dirty Blood Bowl paint session coming up.

I have a Snotling team to get some paint on for this weekend. Problem is: I only just built them and am missing a troll. So: troll ordered from ETSY which should show up this week. 🤞

Now this is where the fun begins.

So Skrorg did OK. Played vs Woodies and Brets.

Brets with Karla were ruined by worse than average dice, but I reckon they needed an extra dude. 2-0.

Woodies were made to score earlier than they meant so I had the chance to equalise in the first half then grind down to win 2-1.

Only an idiot would go to Parkrun without checking the course page first, right?

Some Blood Bowl tournament roster testing this weekend, so I'm doing a quick paint job on this chonky boi so I can give Skrorg another runout.

Good grief. If the USA sends troops into a NATO country then the alliance is dead. Trump will have done in a week what Putin has been trying to do for decades.
US discussing options to acquire Greenland, including use of military - White House
It came as European allies rallied behind Denmark after renewed US insistence it must have Greenland.

Bowing to popular acclaim (well, just because I think it'll be entertaining)...

Blood Bowl Pump Wagon build: a cautionary tale.

So far my most awkward build has been the Dark Elves - especially the Witch Elves.

Let's see how we get on...

New year, new Blood Bowl team!

Next tournament is Tiny Titans 2 on the 17th, so I'll see if I can get these little blighters done in time. I hear the pump wagons are tricksy...

So I'm in Aberdeen visiting parents for NY. I have a smart meter installation appointment on Tuesday back home in Edinburgh. This weekend there's Parkrun and Blood Bowl on near my house.

The problem is...

I'm thinking I may need a separate account for personal stuff and #parkrun and this one just for #bloodbowl

No cheating - most recent pet pic.

In fairness, this is just one of hundreds of almost identical photos on my phone.

Couldn't #parkrun as I cant even get out of the driveway...

Anyway, coffee and a book in front of the fire is a decent runners-up prize.
January 3, 2026 at 12:40 PM
So I just unexpectedly received an email from #GW promising a voucher for £10.

Problem is: looks like it's already been used...

I suspect an IT SNAFU as I think it may be the one I got last year.

Ah well. It just dashed my dreams of buying... a quarter of a #bloodbowl team.

Happy New #parkrun

Did Stonehaven Parkrun in a blizzard! ☃️

First time at Stoney PR and seems like a nice course - perhaps under better conditions - just a bit slippy today. Still a course PB for sure. 🙂

Also, found a cafe open nearby, so managed to get a proper post-run coffee too.

2025 was the worst.
2026 can, in all honesty, only be better.

First #bloodbowl tournament in 2026 will be the Tiny Titans in January.
A stunty-only tournament, it'll be good to shake off the cobwebs.
If I wanted to win I think it'd be Skinkmen, but Snotlings are big winners in 2025, and seem like a lot of fun, so might just give them a go.
