\"bloodbowlunbox_34\"

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.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"bloodbowlunbox_38\"

Orc touchdown!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"bloodbowlunbox_39\"

Still screwing up: no Orcs on the LoS at kickoff…<\/p><\/div>\n

\"bloodbowlunbox_40\"

Second Orc touchdown!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"bloodbowlunbox_42\"

Final turn\u00a0of the game, Human Catcher failed to dodge while moving to pick up the ball, which then bounced away…<\/p><\/div>\n

Final Score: Humans 0 – 2 Orcs<\/p>\n

Verdict: the game is still fun to play, even solo.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[35,36],"class_list":["post-232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blood-bowl","tag-humans","tag-orcs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/saguisag.com\/d6s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/saguisag.com\/d6s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/saguisag.com\/d6s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saguisag.com\/d6s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saguisag.com\/d6s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=232"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/saguisag.com\/d6s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":272,"href":"https:\/\/saguisag.com\/d6s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232\/revisions\/272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/saguisag.com\/d6s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saguisag.com\/d6s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saguisag.com\/d6s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
