Blitz bombing the token sprue with speed paints. And gold. Always go for the bling bling. Found the year marking 2026 from the sprue - so living in the future.

Got the urge to get to new edition games fast - so bringing out the Army Painter Speed Paints for the Bretonnian team. Head swapped from Imperial Nobility sprue.

And so it begins… First miniature build from this year’s new edition box of Blood Bowl. There are two head options in the sprue, but I think this Norse head goes nicely with combative pose of this Bretonnian squire lineman.

Side by side comparison of different era rule books and corresponding dice. The old stuff on the top of the pic reveals the huge gap in quality. What used to be two colors and flimsy paper is now hard covers and 4 colors fully illustrated with glossy detail varnish.

Been reading thru the new Blood Bowl manual. Ok, there are some interesting rule changes and team roster building tweaks, but let’s put them aside for a while until had a chance to test them out in practice. But just the production quality of this book is top notch.

Oh, the bliss… Breakfast of the Champions and the smell of new plastics and full color printed materials.

Only hours till the new edition of Blood Bowl drops, it’s time to rewind a bit… this game has travelled and transformed with me almost four decades, so I compiled this timeline information graphic with different iterations of the game. Living Rule Book years brought me back.

Here are two special rats: the smaller is robotic enhanced skaven blitzer, the bigger Rat Ogre. The wh40k terminator hand and servo-skull kitbashed parts were made to represent Claw and Two Heads mutations. Rat Ogre has Juggernaut skill.

Blood Bowl manual from 1st edition. Pretty op magic items: Leaping five squares. Leafing thru my (not so mint condition) 1986 booklet, I came to the conclusion that it’s not just fantasy tabletop games but English language too that I learned from this game.

Dugout - place where Blood Bowl players from 2nd (and 3rd) edition seem to spend most of their time. Had forgotten that stunned players used to have their own spot in the dugout back in the 1988. But 11 players maximum on the field is still a valid reminder.

New Blood Bowl edition drops in one week, while waiting for it I found these cardboard players from 1st edition and its expansion Death Zone. If memory serves me right it was summer of 1987 and skeletons regeneration was bit op.

Doing inventory of my Blood Bowl miniatures while waiting for the next edition to arrive, found these Khorne warriors laying idle. Seems like I only managed to paint the first sprue out of the team box. Got scared of all the frenzy on the roster, I guess.

Oldschool Orc miniature appreciation post, bit late for orktober, but deserves its time at the spotlight.
Pinky Fink name and its etymology escapes my memory, it’s been a while since he’s time in the gridiron.

The Norse Blood Bowl team Sima Siat (aka Mead Hogs) had fun six game tournament. Opponents ranged from fast and slippery Wood Elfs to smelly Nurgle Rotters. Here Valkyrie runner inside a gage trying to break thru.

Max Spleenripper, the Nurgle variant of the chainsaw wielding starplayer. Now that the new version of the Blood Bowl is just weeks away, started to make inventory of old miniatures I have for the game. This kitbash is still one of my favorites.

What Norse really appreciated was their mead. Here Blood Bowl team takes a break to enjoy the beverage served by loyal steeds the Beer Boars. Something to keep you warm during the darkening days.

The Norse Blood Bowl team breaks thru the so called general Humans team. Although the Valkyrie runner scored the touchdown- the true mvp of the match was Beer Boar. The little pig fouled two players to the KO box.

The snow has fallen. And the Norse Blood Bowl roster is ready for action.
Beerbeer joins the lineup as number 12 berserker. Also featured are Valkyrie runner and Rider Linemen.

Using just a bit over 30 years old decals from Reikland Reavers transfer sheet as back print on BeerBeers shirt. After this just snow effects and matt varnish.

Norse Blood Bowl team got their new positional - Berserker moving along. Mr BeerBeer miniature is metal cast by Tursas Miniatures. Some basic bling-bling gold armor and basic colors in but still missing shading, highlighting and snow effect.

Plague Marines occupy the central Killzone building on Volkus terrain. As the plasma gun heats up the nurglings get restless with anticipation. Soon the deadly pathogens get released from blight grenades blast.

It's my old Norse Blood Bowl miniatures, added new positionals to the roster - Norse Berserkers. First model berserker is Mr BeerBeer metal cast by Tursas Miniatures. Second is custom kitbash from plastic D&D half-orc barbarian blister.
