I post about toy soldiers here. Warhammer Fantasy/The Old World and Blood Bowl, mainly, but occasionally other games too. Bit unusual but means well. He/Him.

Finally, the two teams are done! Now to figure out their respective colour schemes...

#BloodBowl
A team of brave Bretonnians stands ready to take to the gridiron, seemingly unaware of the Tomb Kings lurking behind them. They are both standing on a Blood Bowl rulebook, which is in turn parked on a Blood Bowl box.

Finally finished my Tomb Kings team build. Mostly painless and intuitive, bar the ridiculously tiny wings you're supposed to add to the throwers' sandals. Those are evil.

Anyway, the Lybaras Vipers are ready to paint!

#bloodbowl
A series of Tomb Guardians and Blitzers patiently stand by as the first of the Throwers is being built. The Tomb Kings Thower in question, half-complete. He's missing a head and his arms. The complete Tomb Kings squad, after much work by the resident Liche Priest. The silly, fucking ridiculous, and utterly tiny sandal wings that Games Workshop - in their infinite wisdom - decided to make as a separate piece to the feet they go on. Human thumb for scale.

Making some initial progress on my Tomb Kings team for Blood Bowl. Names-wise, I think I'll call them the Lybaras Vipers - although I'm not sure if I'll run them in a league!
Several Tomb Guardians stand ready to crush the opposition. One particular Tomb Guardian, held up to the light for no particular reason.

In the pollution-choked Dark Lands, a throng of Chaos Dwarfs find themselves confronted by an Ogre raiding party.

Though the big brutes waver at first under withering fire, their nerve holds just long enough for them to reach - and charge into - the Chaos Dwarf line...

#warhammercommunity #TOW
An Ogre clan marches towards the waiting Chaos Dwarf gun line in the distance, little suspecting the hail of fire they're about to be subjected to. The Infernal Guard patiently await their foes, fire-glaives at the ready. Beside them, hissing steam, squats an Iron Daemon tractor engine. In a shock to all involved, a mob of hobgoblins surprise and drive back an evidently unprepared regiment of Leadbelchers. The gobbos' triumph is short-lived, but no less impressive for all that. The lines close with one another - and the ogres, much mauled by the gunfire of the enemy, prepare to charge...

A happy few hours was spent tonight guiding two new coaches through their first game of Blood Bowl. With any luck, the beautiful game might have spawned two new fanatics here...

#warhammercommunity #bloodbowl
Two promising new Blood Bowl coaches guide their Necromantic players through the grand strategy they've devised. Two flesh golems begin bullying a trio of skaven linerats on the line of scrimmage.

Behold the record of a bloody conflict, whereupon the brayherds of @korartificer.bsky.social met the ogre raiders of Bellanos the Vast upon the site of a ruined shrine in the Empire's borderlands. The beasts of Chaos may have been driven back for the moment, but their cunning leader survives yet...
The battle lines are formed, and a wall of stout (and bad-smelling) ogres marches hungrily towards the roaring (and equally bad-smelling) beastmen near the woodline. Ogre leadbelchers line up their improvised guns, the Gor herd in the distance squarely in their sights. A devastating volley from the leadbelchers has absolutely shredded the Bray-shaman's protective herd of Ungors. A wall of ogres slams into the Wargor and his Gor bodyguard, sending limbs flying everywhere due to the impact.

A very special BBBLBBQ this year, as the BBBL turns 8 today! Naturally, we all had to celebrate, and that meant me getting to practice with my vampires - as well as debuting the Rat Smasher 5000 to mixed results in the annual Rat Ogre Bowl game 🔥

#warhammercommunity #bloodbowl
Vampires versus Imperial Nobility, with the vampire team in possession of the ball Vampires versus Imperial Nobility, with the vampire team in possession of the ball. A delightful chicken thing, very tasty. Various BBBLers throw down on the gridiron.

BBBL Plate Quarter-finals! The Hel Fenn Howlers manage to fight their way back into the game, making it 1-1 at full time, but the Warpstone Tunnelrats clinch it in penalties to advance.

A great first season for the Howlers - can't wait to run them again!

#bloodbowl #warhammercommunity
A Necromantic team and a Skaven team face off against each other on the Blood Bowl gridiron. Against all the odds (and common sense, arguably) a lowly Zombie has managed to catch the ball! A huge brawl, Skaven and Undead jumping all over each other. In the background, a rat ogre roars at it wades into the fray.

Progress report! The Ghorgon has been especially fun to build so far.
A regiment of Gor Warriors, stood next to the partially-built form of a monstrous Ghorgon. They are standing atop a Beastmen battalion box, which is itself resting on top of a bass guitar amp.

Mirror match alert! The Hel Fenn Howlers and fellow necros Cutienomicon faced each other in the final regular season fixture of their BBBL division. A brutal slog leading to a 1-1 draw... but that single point is enough to secure the Howlers a playoff spot!

And that's that, at least as far as the BBBL Bees are concerned. We finished 15th out of 54 terms in the end. Very proud of our performance, and some wonderful coaches to play against. Can't wait to come to the Home Nations again next year!

#bloodbowl #WarhammerCommunity
Skaven and Necro players scrap. Tofu, the BBBL Bees team captain, ponders another masterful stroke in his first second-day game. A werewolf is about to steal the ball from some Skaven. A fine pile of curry and chips, the perfect fuel for Blood Bowl.

Some pictures of the first day of the Home Nations! Been a tough day, but the BBBL Bees (including me) have clawed their way up to 21st, and a seat at the higher rank tables. Let's see what tomorrow brings...
#bloodbowl #warhammercommunity
Chaos Renegades and Necromantic scrap it out around the line of scrimmage. Necromantic players push against a High Elf defensive formation. The players at Home Nations get ready for the first round! Three of the BBBL Bees in action during round one.

Had a good month, finance-wise, and accordingly might have treated myself a bit.
A plain cardboard box, within which sits several Warhammer: The Old World kits from the Beastmen range. A Beastmen battalion box, plus a boxed Wargor/Chieftain and Bray-Shaman, arranged upon a stripy bedspread.

Five games out of six now played in the BBBL Championship's regular season - and a dirty, hard-fought 1-0 win over the Knightly Virtues sees the Hel Fenn Howlers position themselves for a playoff spot...

#warhammercommunity #bloodbowl
Carnage reigns as a Human and a Necromantic team scrap around the line of scrimmage. Both flesh golems have been knocked down! A werewolf has been blitzed by Rumbellow Sheepskin, his ram headbutting the unfortunate wolf in the arse as he tried to make a run with the ball. The table in the BBBL Championship's GhoulGhoul division as it stands - the Hel Fenn Howlers stand just one point from the top!

Introduced my mate to the joys of The Old World last Friday. His marauding ogres were able to see off my Bretonnians, who struggled to recover from their left flank collapsing catastrophically early in the game.

#warhammercommunity #theoldworld
A regiment of Bretonnian Knights charges a mob of Ogre bulls, while some leadbelchers lurk menacingly in the background. The knights, much reduced in number, fight the leadbelchers, while a regiment of men-at-arms revieve a devastating charge from the ogre chieftain and his Irongut bodyguards. The fight between the men-at-arms and the Ironguts goes about how you would expect it to. The ogre general surveys the table gleefully, looking forward to the carnage he's about to cause.

The Hel Fenn Howlers kept up their good form with another win in the BBBL - 2-0 versus the snotling team by the name of "The Snotling Team!"

As a result, I now have a movement 9 werewolf - and the other one has blodge 👌

#warhammercommunity #bloodbowl
A Necromantic team and a Snotling team square up on the gridiron. Morg'n Thorg is also there. He's about to have a dreadful game - 0 casualties caused and 3(!) failed Foul Appearance rolls. The snotling player, moments before rolling a series of the highest Swarming checks yet seen on an NAF pitch.

A scorcher of a win - the Hel Fenn Howlers are finally out of the blocks with a 4-0 thumping of the Zombie No-Stars!

Now let's see if they can keep that momentum going...

#warhammercommunity #bloodbowl
A remarkably skilled all-zombie team faces off against a more balanced Necromantic side. The zombies will be receiving the ball, with the Necros adopting the "anchor" defence. Two werewolves and a ghoul break into the Zombie team's half of the pitch, looking to steal the ball (barely visible on the furthest left of the picture)

Moving flat on a bank holiday? Can't say as I'm enjoying it, if I'm honest.
A huge amount of haphazardly-stacked boxes, many of them full of Warhammer miniatures.

A bounceback from previous defeat and a hard-fought 1-1 draw as the Hel Fenn Howlers took on the Haemoglobin Trotters last night. Could have been 2-1 to the Howlers if they'd played just a touch more aggressively in the second half!

Undead blood bowl players of varying types fight over a loose ball in the centre of the pitch Set up defensively, a Necromantic team prepares to weather the storm of a vampire drive. The same scramble for the ball, but from a different angle

A rough start to the season for the Hel Fenn Howlers, as they suffer atrocious dice and a 1-0 loss to the Real Chaos All-Stars (Tribute). Never seen so many skull-both down results 💀

A chaos team and a Necromantic team prepare to face off. Annoyingly, both teams are wearing the same colours, green and red.
