If I call this an acquisition for the #BloodBowl collection it feels a bit less like I’ve just bought a plastic bag...

After almost two years of being half painted my #BloodBowl Dwarf team is finally done. Not much deviation from the box art but I’m pleased with how they came out.

Research in pictures #3. Today’s delivery is this appropriately Christmassy Games Workshop mail order flier from December 1996. #BloodBowl

It’s been a great day for #BloodBowl. A fun tournament in Lancaster (gnomes went 1/1/1) followed by an evening painting this gnarly looking Minotaur for the my league team.

Research in pictures #2. Sometimes you have to work on the weekends. And sometimes it looks like this. #BloodBowl

Was just researching Andy Hall’s #BloodBowl short story ‘Da Bank Job’ and the team name Brobag’s Big Uns has done for my search history.

I'm working to connect the winners of the Blood Bowl with real-world coaches. I know that Andy Chambers won the GW league in 1993 with the Skavenblight Scramblers, that Gary Morley won in 1994 with the Marauders, and that Marcos Orcana won BBXLII with The Flatlined Annihilators. Can anyone help?

Here’s #BloodBowl commentator Bob Bifford, the first part of a sideline vignette I’m making for the stadium. Next up on the painting table is his colleague Jim.
