Raggy Paints

Well it\’s been a very long week… not least because I worked a five day week for the first time in a while! I did manage to get my Amazon team fully painted… not quite before playing my last game with them sadly as I had to step out of the post season due to…

I now have lots of assembled Blood Bowl figures to paint up (and I still haven\’t finished the Amazons!): My boardgaming partner in crime (and obsession), Mr G, came out to Cali to visit me recently and helped me get a few plays knocked off the list, including getting Hybrid to the table! This leaves…

There\’s not been a lot of headway in terms of painting lately however I have made some solid progress with my three newest Blood Bowl teams. I have fully assembled my new big guys, and the Chaos team. The Pro Elves (Black Scorpion Humans) that I have are prepped and assembled. I still need a…

The next Netflix disc on this list arrived – Who\’s afraid of Virginia Woolf. This one reminded me a little of Sunset Boulevard… there is something compelling about the weirdness despite the lack of affinity for any of the characters. The sadistic madness of the couple is fascinating and watching it evolve you feel real…

My boardgaming partner in crime (and obsession), Mr G, made a good point a while back that the focus we have both been putting on getting all of our games played, has had a negative impact on our play balance – we rush to get a game played once, and then drop it before we…

The league is underway with the Amazons doing on the worse side of OK. You can follow their progress on our league page BABBL, I particularly recommend reading the news posts as all the league players have really gotten into the spirit of the game. The progress of getting them painted up has been somewhat…

Well I got a craving to quickly knock up some snotlings for an Ogre team in my current blast of enthusiasm for all things Blood Bowl (I even have a spreadsheet tracking the readiness of all the various teams I am collecting!). So I now have all the snotlings (15mm winged goblins) painted up and…

My girlfriend recently splashed out on a Netflix DVD account to help increase the variety of things we can watch. I have been allowed to list a few movies on it and wasted no time on getting as many of the remaining films as possible up on the list. The first to arrive was Cool…

Tristan has asked that I provide some info on the primer I used to get a successful bond to the Black Scorpion minis so: Black Scorpion Miniatures are nominally \’resin\’ however it seems that they have a large plastic component (I can verify this having left one in acetone a bit longer than I should…

The Wood Elf Blood Bowl team I posted a while ago came from Black Scorpion Miniatures. I am a fan of the sculpts but have repeatedly had issues getting the primer to really stick to the figures. This time has been by far the worst. Presenting The Piranha Swamp Steelers: Eventually I had to strip…
