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

Now that I think about pond trolls, the pond trolls are amphibians. This means that they must be born from spawn like a frog. Maybe initially they are tadpoles and they gradually grow into trolls.

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!

Yesterday me and my daughter tried out the new tone pro paints from #Warhammer. I have thoughts. Overall, they're very good. Coverage is great, and the white drybrushes nicely. The longer working time also helps with wet blending and the red is *very* red.

Tickets for next year's #BloodBowl world cup in the bag, playing as part of Team Mayhem, although maybe as the Birmingham team we should have gone for Team Bostin'? Flights and accommodation booked. Now I just have the stress of choosing a team...

Am I the only person in the miniature gaming hobby who is left completely uninterested by Trench Crusade? I'm sure the game is great, the lore is interesting and the minis are good to paint. But the whole thing from the setting to the minis just leaves me cold.

Remember: it could be someone you know.

[Scene is a parody of a 1970s Public Information Film. A young girl is going home from school.]

1
[She leaves the school gates].

VOICEOVER:

The world today
is full of people.

2
You meet lots of them every day.

[The girl crosses the road with the help of a LOLLIPOP MAN]

3
LOLLIPOP MAN says ’to camera’ [girl’s POV]:

Mind ‘ow you go, love.

4
But every time you meet one,

[She gets on a bus]

5
BUS DRIVER [also talking to camera]:

That’ll be 40p, please

6
[She enters a sweet shop]

You must always think to yourself:

7
[The kindly looking woman behind the counter hands her a bag of pick n mix]

KINDLY WOMAN:
There y’are, sweet’art...

8
[Voiceover again]:

Could *they* be a person who leaves one-star reviews for things when they get sent the wrong item?

9
[The woman picks up a smartphone to write something]

10
[Cut to a view of her phone screen, it is an Amazon review page for Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro]:

Never Let Me Go
by Kazuo Ishiguro
[one star]
THIS ISN’T A PRIT STICK

The (denim) cloth trows are ready for the toothbrush splattering! But I want to admire them like this for a wee bit, because I really, reeeeally love block-colour painted minis with nice crisp dark lining in the recesses. Mmmmm hmmmm. Get 'em here 👇 kickstarter.com/projects/statuesque/cloth-trows

Four bean-shaped cloth creatures, with their eyes visible through a hood opening like a zipped up parka. One trow has their arms folded over a walking stick, the others are holding crooked sticks. One is waving. They are painted in two shades of blue-grey, with pale beige faces and arms. Their stoney bases are a slightly different pale beige but will be given a brown wash and mossy texture after the splatter coat, so won't look so similar to the figures themselves.

I'm going to a #BloodBowl tournament next weekend where a special star player is a "sassy nurgling". He comes with a bunch of skills for only 75K, so I thought I'd give him a go. I did need a model to represent him though, hence a little bit of hobby this morning.

The constant, unrelenting, mainstream media narrative of "I can't conceptualise that so it can't possibly be real and anyone who says it otherwise is lying" is so exhausting and is always targeted at groups who have been minding their own business for decades harming no one.
