First post :) Suppose I’d better introduce myself! I’m a painter / blood bowler and use my hobby time as my ‘self care’ time. I do some commissions but generally just for friends :) Here’s my Blood Bowl team collection :)
Day 107 of #hobbystreak realised I’ve still got the models to do for NOBBL legacy team 🙈 Got the Fox done and a fair bit of the Fans. Also did a load of Gold trim on the Tomb Guardians and its cemented my desire to never paint Rubric Marines 🤣 #bloodbowl

Day 106 of #hobbystreak Skeleton Linemen done… at some point I’ll have a set up that I like for taking photos 🤣 On to the Tomb Guardians tomorrow! #bloodbowl #warhammercommunity

Day 105 of #hobbystreak Almost finished off the Skeletons - just a few details to finish off - once I’ve figured out how to get the effect I want on the scarabs! These are taking a bit longer to do than I expected but they’re fun to paint! #bloodbowl #warhammercommunity

Day 104 of #hobbystreak Gradual progress on the Skellys but had very little time to hobby today! About to tuck myself up in bed and do a little light reading… #bloodbowl

Day 103 of #hobbystreak Half hour hobby today - just layered up the Gold a bit and added the whites and greens. They’re starting to look like a team now 🙂 #bloodbowl #warhammercommunity

Day 102 of #hobbystreak I’m always impressed about the difference a wash makes to a model. Turns them from looking flat to being tabletop ready and sets them up nicely for the layering up! Coming on nicely #bloodbowl #warhammercommunity

Day 101 of #hobbystreak Time to get to work on the boney bois! Started blocking in the colours on the Linemen - there’s a surprising amount of sneaky details on these lads! I’m going to have some fun with the scarabs 🙂 #bloodbowl #warhammercommunity

Day 100 of #hobbystreak and the most important part of any new team release is done! The Coins are painted and mounted proudly on the board… now if only the High Elves would hurry up and arrive so that annoying gap disappears 🤣 #bloodbowl #warhammercommunity

Day 99 of #hobbystreak Spent a pleasant couple of hours building up the new Tomb King team… and another annoying 20 minutes putting the wings on the Throwers sandals… my big old hamfists aren’t built for such delicate work 🤣 #bloodbowl

Round 3 verses Spleggy and his Undead. Snaked a rush to hit his Ghoul which allowed the score. Pulled the equaliser back before half time and then a resilient Skeleton opened up the door for him to stop my drive… frustrating 1-1 draw! #bloodbowl

Round 2 of Oatcake Bowl verses Pete and his OWA! Lovely game with lots of chat and laughing 🙂 Broke the drive and then ran in a couple of extra TD’s with Super Hob! #bloodbowl

Day 98 of #hobbystreak Round 1 of Oatcake Bowl verses some noob, Liam Davies and his Lizards (with a +Ag, +MV Skink) My Stabba pulled off some bullshit to dodge in and kill it! Second half we struggled to pick up the ball and had to stall for the draw rather than chase the win #bloodbowl

Day 96 of #hobbystreak Made strong progress on the Humans - good job seeing as I’ve only got tomorrow to finish them off before the new Season box arrives and everything else is immediately forgotten 🤣 #bloodbowl

Day 95 of #hobbystreak Base coats and metallics added to the human bits! Gotta say - the 2016 Griff model is a thing of beauty, not as beautiful as the legend that is Zug but as close as it’s possible to get without being Zug 🤣 #bloodbowl

Day 94 of #hobbystreak killing time between waiting for the new box to arrive and the rain to let up so I can prime stuff… had this Human team half finished for ages so figured I’d finish them off and whack them on the bay… especially now I’ve 2 fewer Blitzers / Catchers to do #bloodbowl

Day 90 of #hobbystreak Been working on the rats but felt I had to share these instead today - they’re waaaay bigger than I expected 🙈 but absolutely stunning and such great quality! Love them! #bloodbowl

Day 89 of #hobbystreak It’s my alter-ego’s birthday today so had a lovely day out with the wife - but got half an hour in on the last of the Skaven while dinner was cooking. Metallics and some of the shading applied - should have these done over the weekend! #bloodbowl

Day 88 of #hobbystreak Really low hobby day today with sorting out a load of family stuff but I have started the planning for the next commission - and it’s another one I’m looking forward to as it’s harlequin themed so the colours can run riot! #bloodbowl

Day 85 of #hobbystreak fell just short of finishing off the Gutter Runners - a few details to finish picking out and the bases to do! Into the final straight with this commission - I’ll be sorry when it’s done tbh #bloodbowl
