9/5/12: Gaming: Smells Like Blood Bowl!

Hey guys!

A week and a half since a post…I’d be more ashamed if school starting up hadn’t killed a huge chunk of my free time. Needless to say, I’ve still been getting some painting done.

Terminators and Land Speeder

Nearly finished with the last group of Imperial Fists, and I’ve been doing a little work on my Dark Vengeance set.

WIP 1

However, my biggest interest in the gaming side of the hobby has been the start of our Blood Bowl league down at the shop. I’ve had the box set for a couple of years and I've been dying to learn the game.

I’m playing the Orc team out of the box set, it’s a very strong team and hard to kill, making them perfect for a beginner. I’m really debating on adding a troll to the team, but the Orcland Raiders will be a blast to play with while watching some Monday Night Football! So far, I’ve won two games, both against my buddy RTGamer, and they’ve both been a hodpodge of rediculous moves (Orcs completing passes and getting knocked into the stands) and fast-break touchdowns, its amazing how silly and fun the game gets! I’d definitely recommend anyone who hasn’t looked into it to look into it, you won’t be disappointed.

Alrighty, hoping to have the Imperial Fists finished for Thursday between work, life, and school. Shouldn’t be too hard!

  3. I've been meaning to get into blood bowl for a while now myself. But what team to use...

  4. Definitely a hard question, the game is so much fun you can run whatever team and still have a blast. I'm still thinking a Halfling team is in order soon!

  5. I'm contemplating Necromantic. I love undead in any setting and since I've decided to forgo them in Fantasy, maybe Blood Bowl can be my outlet...

  6. Necromantic looks fun, zombie football players would be pretty funny too! Hey, with the next Chaos codex, its sounding like you'll be able to run zombies in 40k :)
