Old vs new... One of these Human Blood Bowl teams will be coming with me to Eurobowl in Poland. I'm hoping I'll get the third edition Marauders done, but if not, then it'll be my late 80s 2nd edition metals or 2016 plastics. #bloodbowl #eurobowl

Very touched for the Scottish #bloodbowl Community to have done this. For those unaware, the Scottish Eurobowl "away" shirt has had an additional contribution added so as well as getting a cool shirt, buyers have been supporting #MND research. The total just passed £700. 💙💛

It's Sunny Dunny 7s at the weekend and we're playing Beach Bowl. So I went with a team I've been meaning to paint for a while. I've a deadline to meet - but only 7 models, so it's more manageable. So here are 7 almost table-ready Blood Bowl Amazons. #bloodbowl
7 bloodbowl Amazons- 2 blockers, 2 blitzers and 3 linos. Purple, gold, white & black.

#parkrun number 73 in the bag at a blowy and blustery Figgate Park. Saw a rainbow before the start which really lifted the spirits. Unfortunately it did nothing for my energy levels after being woken at half 5 by my feline roommate. She's now making up for it. 🤨 Happy #caturday everyone.

I've decided on Humans for Blood Bowl's Eurobowl in Poland, so I figure it's only right to use the red & white Marauders. I've got a month or so to finish them, so that'll be fine, right? 😬 #bloodbowl

I've been thinking about Blood Bowl Top Trumps, but for coaches - i.e. you, the player. What would the categories be? And what would be your stats? In true #bloodbowl fashion, the less serious the better...

I got my Scotland "away" shirt for Poland today - and it's pretty snazzy even if I do say so myself. Included in the price is a donation to MND research so this one was dedicated to Tracy. #bloodbowl #mnd

So that didn't go to plan... Narrow loss to Zug Brets, win vs Necro, but then a 4-2 loss to Woodies. Woodies didnt fail much - but crucially nothing important. To crown it all, rolled a 10 on a short kick off & I snaked to blitz the catcher. A good lesson in how High elves can fall apart.

Tomorrow is MegaBowl: currently unique in Scotland as a SBBC-sanctioned Sunday one-dayer. I'll be taking my HElves, not because they're the best choice, but becaise I'll get my matching Scotland shirt - modelled by @sann0638.bsky.social below - after some UK-customs-based shenanigans. #bloodbowl

I'm sitting here outside Costa awaiting the drop-off of a Halfling for the SBBC Legacy Blood Bowl Team. Luckily it's a nice day and I have coffee - which makes everything a lot more pleasant. Hopefully I'll get a few more Flings tomorrow at Megabowl and can share a decent group shot. #bloodbowl

After the Bilbali update I'm ranked #5 globally for Humans under 2025 rules (#25 if you include 2020 as well). I'm happy enough with that. Not sure whether Humans will be viable in Warsaw - perhaps as an anti-elf option?

Off to another new (for me) Blood Bowl tournament today - GlasBowl. This was a last minute sign-up due to a registered player dropping out and my calendar freeing up. Went with Orcs because I have a team painted and, funnily enough, I've never played them at a NAF 11s event before. #bloodbowl

I don't feel any enmity to the #USMNT themselves but after this smug, classless, spiteful display I now want them not only to be beaten, but humiliated like the Brazilians in 2014. Not because I dislike the team - who all seem pretty decent on the whole - but because of what they represent.
