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

@StuWatts @erikcats has some good advice. But my (self serving) advice is to give Blitzbowl a try instead. Nuffle gets less involved in that game.

Small scale productive.

  • varnished and flocked my sporting giant;
  • tried my hand at doing this dremel flagstone pattern thing;
  • applied iyanden yellow to the as a base coat;
  • did admin for the upcoming league I'll run. Looks to be exciting! I'll need five pitches FFS😂

Dear @Berit

Please accept my entry, even though I burned out on the project 2 weeks in.

I love the challenges you set us, and it's purely my need for bright and light and colourful that scuppered my enthusiasm.

Another factor may have been my oil wash, varnish, oil wash sequence, which apparently forked shift up.

Did enjoy making the loincloths a lot, tho!

day 901

Made the first 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- I guess.

Other angle of Wardancer with ochre on his skirt. Guess he didn't get fouled as he lay.

Well well well, let's see if i can make this work for

And built three models

And I felt inclined to sculpting a face on one for a 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 😁

Added a fifth reroll token. Kitbashed walking book from some old Skaven bits.

Had some time to work on the giant, which is nearing completion. The 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 stadium.

The Westheck Slicers will have their debut today when the local league TBBL III kicks off. A good time to show the whole team again.

Any advice how to deal with a Chaos Dwarf team? Both teams are completely new.
