Woohoo, I finished my Slann #bloodbowl team with 3 days to go before the tournament. I finished the bases with some AK Puddles and some tufts, then painted the eyes. Decided not to edge highlight because its a speed-paint and there aren't so many sharp edges that really need it. #minipainting

Slann WIP update, with 4 evenings to go: I daubed everyone with a 1:1 mix of quinacridone magenta and Windsor purple oils (second pic), then after 30 min wiped most off with a sponge. Then a darkline wash with a black/purple oil mix. Then drybrushed the bases with greens. #bloodbowl #minipainting

Slann painting WIP with 5 days to go until my tournament: I got some colours down everywhere with contrasts and inks. I thought liquitex inks would be good for slann skin because they dry satin. Remaining to do: shading, some refinement, and the bases. #bloodbowl #minipainting

Took 2 minutes off my PB at parkrun today, 40.06. Getting better, didn't walk today. Just ran really slowly!

This week at #boardgames night we played Lost Ruins of Arnak with some number of expansions. I was the professor this time, doing lots of things related to artifacts and research. I used two hot air balloons to go fight some monsters. Good game!

I like to paint at a leisurely pace - #bloodbowl teams normally take me months. But I decided to paint a Slann team in 2 weeks for a tournament, to get them crossed of the list of teams. So we'll get the contrast paints out and try to do these quickly! Could be a fun challenge?

I got home to see that all of the new season's #bloodbowl rosters had been spoiled, so here's a thread on my scalding hot takes for each team. I've used Nazgob's website which sets out the differences: 2025.nazgob.co.uk.

In a little holding pattern while we wait for the new edition of #bloodbowl, so I painted 2 star players from my unpainted box: Morg and Griff by Agema minis. #minipainting

This week at #boardgames night we played #ArkhamHorrorTCG. 4 investigators visited Cairo, where people were falling asleep and not waking. We checked out the city, had a trip into the desert, then came back again to whack the head cultist causing it all. A good night's work. I played Ursula Downs.

Game 3 of MCC vs Stewart's Undead. I receive and surf 2 players with the rat ogre, scoring on my drive. In the second half I get the sack but can't get it safe. He gets it back to score and I have 3 turns left. We both only have 8 men and I get the winning score from a hand-off! #bloodbowl

Game 2 of MCC vs Garvfield's Orcs. A tricky drive but I get the TD, but Mike scores a throw team mate TD to equalise at the half. My defence is quite good and he can't make a 4,4,3,2 on his T16 to win, so a 1-1 draw and a good game. #bloodbowl

Game 1 of MCC vs 13silver's Snotlings. A great start for my Renegades as I pitch clear him by turn 6. He has a full team in the second half but I get the win 2-0 when he fails a TTM in the second half. #bloodbowl

Getting my team ready for this weekend's #bloodbowl tournament: Manfred's Chaos Cup. A chaos-themed 1-day tournament that is also a birthday party. We must roll on a mutations table before each game. I picked Chaos Renegades, since its on theme and I get to play my recently finished pink dudes:

This week at #boardgames night we played Sprit Island again! As usual I took the easy and familiar Spread of Rampant Green and my friends took all kinds of wacky spirits. Beasts were everywhere! We took down those level 2 Prussians good and proper.

Last week at #boardgames night, we played Snowdonia, a worker placement game about building railway. I'm a big fan of Agricola, but I find most other worker-placement games a bit ho-hum, this one included.

The #bloodbowl pitch is almost complete! I'm happy how it turned out. Just need to add some rust effect to the sewer covers and then varnish it. Looking forward to playing on it when the new edition comes out and the league restarts.

Overall I finished 1-0-2 at Back2School Bash, 34/44. So not great, and I won't be picking up the dwarfs again soon. They seem very matchup dependent. The tournament was very well run and gave out a ton of swag and prizes. And, very excitingly, I won Best Painted! Which made my day! #bloodbowl

Round 3 of B2SB vs Col's nurgle with Hackflem and 1 RR. He smashes up my dwarves but I somehow manage to get Hackflem down. When he stands up he can't make a rush to score. 2nd half I roll a gazillion foul appearances and lose 1-0. Tough going with dwarves vs Nurgle. #bloodbowl

Round 2 of B2SB vs Garvfield's Black Orcs, whom I gave a lift to the tournament. It was tough going but we managed to score on our drive, then his drive got bogged down and it ended 2-0 to me. #bloodbowl
