My crappy wifi swallowed my late night rage post about how hard BloodBowl is, even with a Tier 1 team (Norse). I'm really struggling to improve past just getting the mechanics right, to getting the strategy right. I've got 3 more incredibly hard games left in the league (Norse, Khorne, Wood Elves). I can't get the team to attack decisively, and can only defend through attrition (so I end up losing players). I'm worried the game's not fun any more because I'm not improving. #bloodbowl#rant
Made the first #BloodBowl 7s league in my area a definitive fact, 21/5 kickoff evening! Haven't got a name yet but one came up with a gem.
Also added the last eye white to my elves, and applied ochre dry pigment to them, to varying degrees of success, and added lighter orange to the loin cloths. That's un- #blanchening I guess.
And I felt inclined to sculpting a face on one for a #BloodBowl treeman and I'm giving up immediately again 😬 may steal a Trish Carden face with oyamaru clay and stick that on.
And built v2 of my paint holder. Found out the 3mm plywood is 4mm and warped AF😬
Did a little conversion on a chaos sorcerer to use as a coach for the renegade team. This one comes with a bunch of little guys that are very handy as reroll tokens 😁
Had some time to work on the giant, which is nearing completion. The #Fedipaint entry I've had enough of so I'll wrap it up in the coming days and fuck it
On the up side, I've has the honour of playing an inaugural match in the school #WarhammerAlliance stadium.
Started on a lazy tartan on the #BloodBowl sporting giant but am unsure: abort or continue?
Also built two #gaslands cars at the school #WarhammerAlliance. And the kids working on the stadium have finished it! Now to encourage students to have us print teams they can paint and use!
Got me some striking paints for the new #bloodbowl team. Thinking about checkers. Not sure I can pull those off in cool way with contrast paints. Will probably try anyway. Happy with the pink and green. The pink needs thinning tho.
Done! That’s the last one for the team until I find a nice rat ogre model I like. But don’t have to hurry as I got what I need to start the league proper.
Will do a last error fixing and icing pass on the whole team when I have them all in front of me.
Blimey - I'm going to be a Blood Bowl League Commissioner.
A grand title, but I'm just running an informal league for my local wargaming club which includes some new players. But it'll be on TourPlay too - meaning we can publicise our results and standings.
I'm partially excited and partially nervous at the same time.
And if I win the league, will I be investigated by some fair play commission?
Looking forward to teaching a friend the wonders of #BloodBowl next week.
I originally thought about introducing a new mechanic for each turn, but - at the moment - I'm deciding to go straight in at the deep end and just play out a training game with some hand holding...
Does that sound reasonable? Any tips on teaching this game to newbies?
Finished some more #bloodbowl fans. Half the fun is placing them in a way that tells a little story. This time it’s Frank Heavyhoof, father of five little calfs, that is just trying to enjoy a game on his free evening and Ar’lok Knowall who is constantly pestering him with his uninformed orcsplaining.
Just updated my profile cover picture. That team has like a year now, but I’m not painting lately so I have to rely on past glories… #OnTheBall#Lizardmen#Bloodbowl
