Fan of many things, but mostly trying to make Blood Bowl on Bluesky happen. Occasionally masquerades as a massive green chap.
Painting up a Percy the Troll for the wooden spoon winner at this year's West Middenland Open.
My free hand is dog shit but apart from that this isn't bad so far.

Best part of the new #BloodBowl rules, the possibility of a Blood Bowl panini sticker album

It's been a few days since I posted a #BloodBowl mini. So let's mourn the hours I put into painting for pestigors... Not that I'm bitter.

I don't play 40k but I really want to see some of these tanks given a modern makeover.
Especially the stretch rhino.

Right, after a couple of days off whilst I was on a late 90s nostalgia tour, I'm back to posting my #BloodBowl minis.
Let's cycle back to the Hammer House Horrors necromantic team and take a look at the ghouls.

I am in Edinburgh for the first time in decades and I still love this city. Shame I can't afford to live here.
Maybe if I post more #BloodBowl models I will spontaneously have more money? It seems unlikely but surely worth a try?
Have a couple of Vampires!

Day 3 of posting my 2025 #BloodBowl painting and let's go for some undead. These were my first 3rd edition models since the plastic humans from the box. I was very pleasantly surprised by how nice they were to paint.

#BloodBowl human blitzer. Seemingly I'm only going to need 2. Will I paint 4? Yes, I almost certainly will.

A second #BloodBowl 5th edition human. I still like the scheme but my plan to finish the team by the end of the month is firmly in the bin.

Painting tip I find useful, when you start a new project and work out the paints you're using, take a photo of the test model and the paints.
It's possible that this is standard and I've just caught up of course.
Top tip 2, don't paint stripes, they're arseholes.

New guitar alongside the Japanese knock off Gibson I've had for decades. I think it's fair to say I have a type.

Progress on the #BloodBowl high elves. I got enthused by this team hence the leap in progress this week.
Still more to do on these and another batch after, but it's going well.
