Does anyone recognise these trolls from the back cover of #BloodBowl Star Players (1988 or 89)? #Oldhammer

I love how cheerfully grim the world of #BloodBowl is.

Squig Hopper, the final player portrait for the new Night Goblin team. I certainly had fun drawing them, I’ll be interested to see how they play when they eventually take the field! #bloodbowl

First half of the Dark Elf team done. They don't get the grass pitch treatment until the whole squad is done! #Nerdlings #JHBackdrops

Back in 2011, I drew a Squig team for Garion’s ‘Secret League’ on Fumbbl, so it’s nice to see them become an official part of modern Blood Bowlafter all this time. They look a fun team to play and it was certainly a lot of fun to draw them again. It brought back memories of the Stunty Leeg!

Ironed on classic. But I’ve forgotten his name… Dietmar Hammersmash maybe? Anyway I’ve done him up in classic Chaos All Stars colours - maybe I’ll look into collecting the rest. #paintingminiatures #miniatures #fantasy #bloodbowl #warhammer #dnd

Really enjoyed reading this, really clear and compelling analysis. the key bit for me is how the Rogue Trader original 40k background is so completely bound up with a specific time and place. I know the Blackadder reference is used lightly, but I think it’s actually a very formative influence!

The late, great, John Blanche even went so far as to explain why Phil's All-Stars had star players from other teams in their line up! Honestly, it's that sort of attention to detail that made the 2nd edition's background so great!

A classic Games Workshop Morg 'n Thorg miniature. An ogre who plays blood bowl, this classic pose has a chainmail glove with a big ol' spike on it, raised high.

Day 244 of #hobbystreak time to start on the High Elves! Normally I’d start off with a lineman as a test model, especially if they’re for a commission! However I couldn’t not start on the Dragon Princes - and if the client doesn’t like them I’ll use them for my own 🤣 #bloodbowl

They’re both #5. This is not an oversight at all :)

Back home now, so time to post pics of my haul from Wednesday's North East hobby shop tour! Felt like I needed a bit of a blow-out, so I saved up for two months so I could treat myself. No minis in the 2nd ed Blood Bowl box, but I was mostly after the polystyrene pitch anyway!
