Day 3 of posting my 2025 #BloodBowl painting and let's go for some undead. These were my first 3rd edition models since the plastic humans from the box. I was very pleasantly surprised by how nice they were to paint.

4 teams? That's fine!

I'm not going to discuss how big my pile of shame is.... It's better that way

Ol Monk @olmonk.bsky.social · 1d

I've backed this, have you?

Renegade Minis @renegademinis.bsky.social · 1d

There's only a few days left in the Norse Orcs Kickstarter so don't wait, get on board now. The campaign is nearly at £6000 and Greg commissioned an extra stretch goal. If it reaches the target everyone gets a free Orc Apothecary. www.kickstarter.com/projects/age... #bloodbowl

At least you only need to do two of them now! Look on the bright side! Unless you've already paid for a second box, or you want enough linemen for when your team is inevitably dead...

Ol Monk @olmonk.bsky.social · 2d

I'm going to start posting decent pictures of the #BloodBowl minis I've painted so far this year.

Let's start with the Necro and a Flesh Golem.

It's early enough in the morning that I read that as intended rather than as written

Ol Monk @olmonk.bsky.social · 2d

#BloodBowl human blitzer. Seemingly I'm only going to need 2. Will I paint 4? Yes, I almost certainly will.

Ol Monk @olmonk.bsky.social · 2d

It's good that gw are listening to my boxing about Luthor being more expensive than Griff!

Ol Monk @olmonk.bsky.social · 2d

I fear for humans and orcs getting much worse, on paper at least.

Ol Monk @olmonk.bsky.social · 3d

I played an undead build with Count Luthor last night. Even with the price rise, Griff is cheaper and that's not a great thing.

Make a weekend of it by attending the West Middenland Open on the 6th as well!

Howlinggriffon @howlinggriffon.bsky.social · 4d

My buddy Mr_Frodo has decided to) run a Season 3 #BloodBowl tourney on 7th December, hoping that the rules will actually come out prior to that date!

If you're in the Essex/Cambridge area, come along and join in. We'll learn the new rules together!

My professional judgment is it'll probably be fine but you'll get big puddles where highway gullies have got bunged up with leaves.

The leaves get brought down by the rain, there's nothing we can do to stop it but you might want to report any you see so they can be cleared.

Hey folks, since Andy asked so nicely (Hope everything goes well at the Hospital), this weeks theme is..... Purple.

Let's see those glourious Purple painted #Miniatures #Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday

Andy Claaaaaarrrghhhhk, Nerdling Herder @andycruns.bsky.social · 7d

Currently in hospital with my son (he’ll be fine) can someone else do find folk Friday?

You don’t have to obviously

My #BloodBowl High Elves and Vampires. I've done a couple of teams in purple this year.

Ol Monk @olmonk.bsky.social · 7d

A second #BloodBowl 5th edition human. I still like the scheme but my plan to finish the team by the end of the month is firmly in the bin.

Ol Monk @olmonk.bsky.social · 8d

I don't know, reading any number of major national newspapers might give someone this idea.

Ol Monk @olmonk.bsky.social · 9d

Hard to criticise that move to be honest!

Ol Monk @olmonk.bsky.social · 9d

I've lived in the West Midlands long enough to go a bit native but I refuse to consider any of the local teams as anything better than mediocre!

If you ever want a game and can get to Birmingham city centre on a Monday evening, give me a shout.

Ol Monk @olmonk.bsky.social · 9d

Often the way. It's worth making the time for though, as much for the social experience as the game itself.

Aston Killers, you're not in Brum are you?

@cartoonbeardy.bsky.social described Romulus as speed running the franchise to date and he absolutely nailed that this was the problem with it.

How come you only got one game in? Did you just hate it (fair) or do you not have a local group of coaches to join?
