I post about toy soldiers here. Warhammer Fantasy/The Old World and Blood Bowl, mainly, but occasionally other games too. Bit unusual but means well. He/Him.

Reflecting on this BBBL season - this is the first quarter-final I've ever made it to, and I'm immensely proud of that. I think I need to work on my player positioning most of all, as that's let me down a couple of times, but overall I can see how much I've improved at the game!

The Tilean Tornados' season finally comes to an end at the paws of the Quick Mischief - a 2-0 win for the Skaven in their first play-off game, but one that cost them an eye-watering five players who'll miss their next match! #warhammercommunity #bloodbowl

Warhammer Bretonnians are largely early 14c 'transitional' armor, chain with extra plates over limbs. A super neat detail is those little shoulder shields, "ailettes", they're for heraldry, possibly glancing blows (jousting encranche are different!), no surviving examples so speculate from artwork.

Purple, is it?

Blood Bowl is great

I know the Amazon 40k thing will fail, because it needed to be a low budget BBC production circa 1998 that got cancelled after 1 season. It’s baked into the DNA

Presenting the Unterwald Flatliners, in their complete kit colours - coming to a league or tournament near you! #warhammercommunity #bloodbowl

I would be remiss if I didn't point out, he let me win

Played a friendly training half-game of Blood Bowl with @laurieoc.bsky.social earlier - and by "friendly," I mean he battered me 2-0 with my own orcs. Ruthless, but great fun!

The Unterwald Flatliners have signed their first two vampires! #warhammercommunity #bloodbowl

Here's a first handful of blood bank- er, linemen from the newly formed Unterwald Flatliners! I have to say, the vampire team kit is an absolute delight to put together and paint 👌 #warhammercommunity #bloodbowl

Got myself a little treat for the weekend! #warhammercommunity #bloodbowl

Truly incredible things are happening in this Blood Bowl match report. Give it a read!

Another two completed the grail knight regiment begins to take shape #miniaturing #theoldworld #bretonnians #warmongers #nurglings

Painted up a High Elf

More hobby time - and more painted Men-at-Arms. Now the regiment is up to twelve, just six more to go! #warhammercommunity #theoldworld #Bretonnians

Competed in the @bromleybbl.bsky.social Winter Classic today with my pro elf team, the New Albion Sparrowhawks. Lost two, won one - a tough tournament, for sure, but I learned a lot and enjoyed it loads! #warhammercommunity #bloodbowl

With High Elf Realms arriving soon for Warhammer: The Old World its the perfect time to paint Lothern Sea Guard. youtu.be/Ig4gnWWbrs0 #warhammer #warhammertheoldworld #warhammercommunity #TheOldWorld #highelfrealms #highelves #paintingwarhammer

The dust has settled - and the Bloodhill Wasters have dealt the Tilean Tornados their first loss this season, in an action-packed and very competitive match! 2-1 in the end - the Tornados will surely want revenge! Do we smell a grudge match someday...? #warhammercommunity #bloodbowl

This is silly. Kitbashing has been an enormous part of the hobby since I first started, and in some cases was even supported due to cross-kit compatibility (fantasy orc boys and their 40k counterparts, for instance!) Utterly boneheaded to try and legislate it out of big events in the name of IP!

BBBL update - the Tilean Tornados go top of the Cruelsberg division once more, with a 2-0 win over the unaccountably enthusiastic snotlings of Team Bogey! This sets up a brutal confrontation later this week with the team in spot no. 2, the Bloodhill Wasters... #warhammercommunity #bloodbowl

Been unwell, so naturally I did what anyone does when they're unwell - I painted some Men-at-Arms. #warhammercommunity #theoldworld #paintingwarhammer

40K really wants you to play Space Marines. But what they don't know is in 6th grade my friend said they were the best in a really annoying way and so that door is closed to me forever.

Slayer pirate no.4, flag-dwarf, is finished, ready for basing. Debating adding a paper banner? And 5 and 6 should get complete tomorrow, as they just need highlights. #PaintingWarhammer #WarhammerCommunity #Nerdlings

Grand Cathay for the Old World....... confirmed (seemingly) It's a hell of a spot, and surely can only mean that the TOW design team are bringing out the first new Fantasy army in God knows how long!

Tried to channel some old hammer with this guy. Wound up being really fun and I love how he came out. Gave him a satin varnish since the paints were so matt, but it made photographing him harder. #oldhammer #miniaturepainting #warmongers #nerdling #warhammercommunity #bloodbowl #chaosdwarfs #art

The Orcidas Team of the Year Award is the forgotten Blood Bowl honour. Established in the 2nd edition as an award for the best NFC team of the season. Despite being a new honour there was a fair amount of info available. I used this to complete the list of winners. 1/6

One Chaos Dwarf Blocker done! I had to go back and forth a lot on the Gold NMM but I'm happy with it for my second ever try at NMM. Now I just gotta paint 5 more Chorfs and 8 Hobgoblins (And some Bull Centaurs whenever those are in stock) #nerdlings #warhammerfantasy #bloodbowl #miniaturepainting
