Round 3 & 4 of Bloodbowl.

Well the season goes on. Round 3 ended in a forfeit. My opponent had a small medical procedure done and ended up not able to make it on the day. We tried to reschedule but life and the distance was to great to get around. Round 4. The Griffins (TV 158) were up against a Norse Team called the Northern Warriors (TV 108 I think). So he added 2 Bloodweiser babes and the Star Player Snow troll (Icepelt)... The game started off well. He Received but we rolled a blitz so I had a bit of a jump on him. But he was able to keep hold of the ball for 6 turns. I was able to KO 4 players and his Ulf (which never made it back onto the ground for the rest of the game, Rolled a 1 every time to see if he was conscious.) So by my turn 6 I was able to knock the ball free and get a TD in turn 8. Half time. 1-0 up. The second half was a complete contrast. By my turn 5 I had 5 players in the KO box including my Ogre, who had possibly one of his worst games. So he had a TD by his turn 5. By his turn 6 I once again had 3 players in the KO bin as well as the Ogre again. Even with Thick skull. The amount of double "1's" I through in this game was laughable. But by the end of my Turn 8 I was 3 squares short of a second TD. It would have only been 1 if I had gone for it twice, but no need to see him face plant himself and kill himself for no reason.... Don't laugh it has happened to me before... It was a good game, and my opponent was a great guy. Newly converted player and a tradie. So he wasn't a snotty nose so and so, who looked down there nose at you because you have to check the book once and a while. No major injuries was good as well and My Orger was able to get his first skill. Unfortunately no Double. So he has Break Tackle.

Missed it! by that much...

I have been dying for a game of Mordheim for a long time. As with ever thing else life has got in the road. Last weekend I went into the local Games Bunker, they have been promising since it opened that they would start playing Mordheim. I notice on there latest newsletter that they would be running a one off day of Mordheim and it happens to be on the day of my daughters Birthday. Stymied again...

Round 2 MBBL season 5

Well, my first game for the season and I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I had the Bye in round one and my opposition "Woodchuck Blitzers" a Wood elf team had a 5 nil win in round 1. Now I did have an advantage in Team value of 26. The inducements he took were the standard Re roll, Apothecary and Budweiser Girls. Her also had a Journey man added to the team.

The Weather ended up Very sunny, so that hampered the passing game, and with a crowd of 20,000 showing up for the game I hope I didn't embarrass myself. And with the Pre-game done the game began.

The WElves won the toss and received. and received an extra re-roll for the half with cheering fans... I had a reasonable deep defence but it seemed to be of no consequence to the war dancer after he received a pass from a catcher. TOUCH DOWN in turn 3. My head was realign and thought "her we go!"

Ok! my turn. Kick off..... Blitz for the WElves..... TOUCH DOWN in turn 5 D'oh..... Now it wasn't all one way but it did seem that way. I had one KO but nothing serious so far and I hadn't done anything more than stun.

Ok! take 2, try again.... Blitz for the WElves..... I was able to stop him from getting a 3rd touch down, just!!.... But the good thing was I took out his War dancer with a Badly hurt. And that was the end of the first half.

But with that injury and now being a man down the second half started with a different feel. And the crowd started it off with a Thrown rock to Stun a WElf line man. And with that came a quick TOUCH DOWN by the Griffins in turn 2 with a pass by the Thrower and a TD A Catcher.

Turn 3 didn't go well with the Welves 2 serious injuries, one apothecaried down to a Badly hurt.

TOUCH DOWN turn 5 walked in by a Griffin Blitzer.

TOUCH DOWN turn 7 ran in by a Griffin Catcher.

A true tale of 2 halves. I know I had the more developed team and he ended up with only 11 men at the start of the game. All I can say is "Yeah!! a Win!!!"... Just I don't play him again when his team is more developed....lol

A start to a new Bloodbowl season for MBBL

I have my first game for the Bloodbowl season tonight. I haven't had a great deal off success so far in this league but I can only hope it gets better but I dont believe it will be tonight. My Gavendorf Griffins (Humans) TV131 vs Woodchuck's Blitzers (Wood Elves) TV 98...

Wood elves are always hard to pin down, I only hope that I can take out a couple of his players early. Like his Wardancer.

I had a Bye for the first round and I am very rusty on the rules.

But all I wish is to have a game without a death compared to last season which involved 4 of 5 deaths.

Gobbo or Nobels?

I saw this link while surfing one of the many blogs that are out there. They are amazing.

Some terrain

I haven't made terrain in about 12 to 15 years and I have seen a few other blogs using cds as bases, simple and easy. These are suposed to be generic. These were my first attempt.

This is the next one, just primed.

An old kryomek resin crater, a few more to follow.





These guys I'm playing around with. Possibly sci-fi based power node, communications, electric fences etc...

It may look like progress...

I think I have been putting off doing any major amount of painting, One major reason is that I'm a very average painter and that I can get very lazy/distracted. I have been doing a bit of priming and basing though.

Some 28mm Russians, some Bolt Action, BTD/Harlequine. With some Ghurkas (unsure of the make)

These guys are going to be some test subjects for my dwarf army. Some will be used as a Dwarf Warband

This guy is one of my favourate dwarfs I own, not 100% sure but he just has character.
