Right off the bat I screwed up and broke the rules: Human team should have had at least 3 figures on the line of scrimmage.

Orc touchdown!

bloodbowlunbox_39

Still screwing up: no Orcs on the LoS at kickoff…

bloodbowlunbox_40

Second Orc touchdown!

bloodbowlunbox_42

Final turn of the game, Human Catcher failed to dodge while moving to pick up the ball, which then bounced away…

Final Score: Humans 0 – 2 Orcs

Verdict: the game is still fun to play, even solo.

I’m not sure if I’m going to paint these figures, but I will try to get around to finishing the paint jobs that I never finished on my old teams.

Stay tuned!
