Blood Bowl Paint Schemes
After some thought, the latest Skaven and new Necromantic teams will get some NFL team colors.
Skaven team will be The Hydra’s Teeth, in the colors of the Miami Dolphins.
Necromantic team will be the Monster Mashup, in the colors of the Baltimore Ravens.
Hopefully I’ll get to them sooner rather than later, and before I change my mind.
Stay tuned!

Blood Bowl Team Focus: The Spartans
A year or so ago I found these guys online and picked them up for Blood Bowl. My intent was to use them as a Norse team.
This year Games Workshop came out with new rules and models for the actual Norse team, which makes this group of miniatures semi-obsolete.
What I didn’t realize when I bought this particular set is that it can be used for 3 different teams: Norse, Bretonnians, and Humans.
The Werewolves are meant to be used with a Norse team.
The Ogre (Big guy) is meant to be used with a Human team.
The Bretonnians don’t use either of those, so it would be all Humans. Though technically the Bretonnians appear to have been replaced with the Imperial Nobility Team, so perhaps I can use them as one of those teams.
Can’t use werewolves on an Imperial Nobility Team, though. Ah well. Though I think I can use the Ogre.
I may have them play as Imperial Nobility vs the Lizardmen this weekend.
Stay tuned!
Blood Bowl: The Return
Actually it was the latest release of Blitz Bowl that catapulted me back into the Blood Bowl World, revisiting the teams and acquiring new ones, some through 3D printing.
The 6 teams at the bottom are not full Blood Bowl teams, consisting of 6-7 miniatures for Sevens/Blitz Bowl.
The names in bold are newly created teams, the bottom two representing the ones that came with the new Blitz Bowl boxed set. Never thought I’d go back to having Elven or Amazon teams, but here we are.
Again, I don’t expect to start a league or anything like that, just indulging in yet another source of miniatures painting , which I enjoy more than playing the games, truth be told.
Stay tuned!
2013-14: IHL Game 1
2022: IHL Reborn
When I first bought Hockey Blast in 2014, I also purchased the fictional World Hockey League 2013-14 set. I created 12 teams but never got around to organizing a schedule for them.
Until now.
1969-70: Seals Season, Game 1
It begins!
The one thing I discovered when playing out this first game is that overtime didn’t exist until the 1983-84 season. Prior to that, tied games after 3 periods ended in a tie.
Like this one.
Final from Civic Arena:
I’m keeping things simple, stat wise, with just the score and who scored the goals.
Next up: the Chicago Black Hawks.
Stay tuned!
