A Little Taster

The "New Look" Immortals Bloodbowl team will make their first run out this season next week at The Daventry Vaulters

Together with their new team strip I've given their coach a fan/turn counter.

This is an old figure from which game? Answers on a postcard/comment/email.

The Commish's Vampires - II

After they're thoroughly dried from their wash and scrape; I glued them together and put a sand and card "stepping stone" base on.  This fits in line with the rest of the team, (something a bit different to the standard BloodBowl grass).


(I had to pin the hand on as there was no way it would stay on with just super glue).

Lacking a Camera Card.

With the house being deconstructed and constructed up again I've managed to misplace my card reader for the, (albeit rubbish), camera.

I've got lots to add regarding Vampires, Immortals and more but I have yet to replace the card reader.  A blog about painting figures ain't much without pics.

Standby, standby...

The Commish's Vampires - I

Oh, the anticipation.

I've been asked to paint two more vampires for the Commish's BloodBowl team of vampires.

I spent a long time looking around and finally settled on these two superb gonks from Gaspez Arts.  (I had to chose them and will be deciding the colours etc.)  Hopefully, they'll be OK.  (I like them anyway!)

New BloodBowl Season starting soon.

At the Daventry Vaulters there's a new league of Bloodbowl starting shortly.  I believe there's a few spaces remaining if you can get to the Daventry area.  It was great fun last season and I'm sure it'll even more so this season.

My team of Orcs: Da Firm have a superb Troll who insists on throwing his team Goblins around.  (So much so that he's taken "Nerves of Steel" and "Pass" to help him in his game plan).  It worked on the last game, making a one turn touchdown - BRILLIANT! - however Da Firm did end up losing 7-1 but it was fun.

Talking of the new season - I'd better start painting those two new vampires for the Commish...

BloodBowl Board

OK, over to the young man:

"Erm, well.  It's taken me a long time but I'm proud to say it's almost finished. I've just got to paint some stuff and add grass and finishing touches.  I've stuck all the sticking stuff on and left it dry overnight and now spray painted it black.  It was sprayed unevenly to add texture later on."

OK there you have it.

Start 'em young.

We've had a big discussion about too much screen based activities, (kids, not me).

As part of the new regime the kids are now looking at books and games again which is excellent!

My youngest has started making a BloodBowl pitch and has asked me to put it up on this blog.  (The older lad has shown some interest...)

Anyway - here's the planning, marking out and sticking of "tile spacers".

(I'll keep you posted).
