Something quick and silly to break the month-long dry spell in posting! On our local Blood Bowl league’s Facebook page one of the guys made a joke about “Necromancer Beer – one taste will revive you” and while I was waiting for dinner to finish I fired Inkscape up and cranked out the following bit … Continue reading Necromancer Beer – a Blood Bowl Sideline Ad
I’ve been working on a couple of additions to my earlier collection of markers for Chain of Command-powered Russian Civil War. As I was finishing up that first set I realized that I was pretty close to actually having a full set of markers for everything that happened in and around (western) Russia between 1914 … Continue reading More RCW Patrol Markers In Progress
Another handful of links of interest! James Ernest of Cheapass Games has a short video on three ways to make cards. Nothing earthshaking, but a good short video laying out three easy ways to make cards for your games. Corrugated metal from disposable roasting pans, via Rusty Robot, which has all sorts of fantastic modelling … Continue reading Links of Interest, 4 March 2015
Recently we’ve tried out TooFatLardie‘s Chain of Command/Through the Mud & the Blood hybrid rules with my Russian Civil War figures, and found them good, although with a bit of a learning curve. Chain has a few persistent conditions or stances that can apply to troops for multiple Phases, either voluntarily (Overwatch, the Tactical stance … Continue reading My Chain of Command Tactical Markers
It’s been a quiet stretch here mostly because I was away from home for just over a week housesitting for a family member on the other side of town, but the Blood Bowl pitch setup has been progressing slowly. I posted my stencil tests recently and have since finished the full set of field lines … Continue reading Lines & Logos on a Blood Bowl Pitch
In the local Bloodbowl league I’m currently involved in, there’s a pair of Lizardman teams, one using the regular GW figures for the team and my crocodile dudes from Impact Miniatures. Our League Commissioner is also playing with an Orc team, and will occasionally write a game report in the persona of his Orcish coaching … Continue reading Bloodbowl Dugout Temple Decoration
I posted way back in early December about the Blood Bowl pitch and scenery I was working on, and it’s been in use regularly in the months since, but in all that time I’ve never managed to get a photo of it in action! Here we go, finally. At centre is the scoreboard, which also … Continue reading Blood Bowl Action!
I’m in the middle of the five-week field assignment for work, so away from most of my usual gaming habits and my workbench. All is not lost, however, because the co-worker I’m on this thing with is also a miniature gamer and we decided to bring our Blood Bowl teams along and have an “Exiles … Continue reading Blood Bowl Tracking Sheet PDF
Progress continues on my seven Sarissa Precision buildings, albeit at a slower pace than I’d intended! Basecoat and drybrushing is done on all seven buildings, gravel roof details likewise in place on all seven, most of the doors and windowframes are painted, and I’ve started cleanup and finishing. I’ve always liked the looks of the … Continue reading Sarissa CityBlock Buildings, Part The Third
Corey recently started painting up a Chinese Warlord force from Copplestone 28mm figures to extend our Russian Civil War gaming in a more Back of Beyond direction, and he’s actually getting units painted and ready for the tabletop (normally I bug him about being the world’s slowest painter…) so I sat down with Inkscape and … Continue reading Chinese Warlord Cards & Blinds
