2024 Hobby Log

In the name of playing more games, I’ve been looking round our local community. Easily the most active is, as I’m sure it is in many places, the Blood Bowl players. Constantly have leagues running and they seem to pop up everywhere. One of the local clubs are about to start a new season and so the time has come to paint up one of the several teams I own and learn the rules. They’ve been forewarned that I know almost nothing!

I’ve got two goals I’m setting myself for this league – have a fully painted team and play all my games. That’s it. So let’s start on goal number one.

The league starts *checks calendar* tomorrow. Thankfully my first game isn’t going to be until next Monday though because of work so I actually have a week to get my starting 11 ready for the table.

I’ve gone with the Norse team that I’ve had for at least a year at this point. Mostly because they look like they will be fun to paint but also they are tier one which, according to the book, makes them more forgiving to play.

The starting roster is:

• 1 x yhetee
• 2 x Valkyries
• 2 x Ulfwerener
• 5 x Linemen
• 1 x beer boar

I have the official GW team box which makes most of the team but I’ll be damned if I’m paying them £26 for a Yhetee model so a quick trip to Myminifactory, £3.50 spent and 7 or so hours later, I have my yeti. With everyone built and primed with a black then white zenithal, this week’s break from Feegles begins.
