#parkrunday again at Porty #parkrun. This time some #voluncheers for stint 27.

The coffee and donut was - I feel - justified.

Empty donut takeaway box and coffee mug.

Ran an intro to #bloodbowl last night. Took a few random humans, orcs, skaven and dark elves to demo the basics.

I gave them my 2016 rule book and a set of dice to have a play with.

Seemed keen to have another session so we'll see.

I had a nagging feeling that I was short of some paints. But no amount of searching bore any fruit until I remembered that trip to NAFC...

Surgery has gone well. A replacement limb has been "generously donated by" (stolen from) a teammate.

All's fair in love and #bloodbowl

Just means I have some additional luggage to take this weekend...

Replacement arm for the blitzer.
Unpainted - so it's silver and the rest of the model is purple/gold

Additional hobby materials:
7 paint pots
Painting handle
Packet of green stuff
Knife

Don't often post off-theme stuff, but this got me this morning. January '25 flooded right back and ngl - I had a moment.

Much love to Lewis and his family and friends. #mnd

OK, this is pretty cool. Won a public vote for community champion award in Blood Bowl. Scotland also came top half and won hosting rights for Eurobowl 2028. Oh yeah, and Alex came 5th individual as part of Team Wales coming second. Proud of the lad. #bloodbowl

Jock wins to put us over the magic 4.5 mark.
Looking good...

How's Jock doing?

Stripeydave @stripeydave.bsky.social · 6d

OK. With that result it's at least a draw. Need one more...

Well, @sann0638.bsky.social seems to be 3-0 up with Amazons, so that's one...

#bloodbowl #eurobowl - and the battle for hosting rights is between Scotland and Lithuania.

Level on points after 5 rounds - it's all down to Scotland vs Belgium and Lithuania vs Slovenia.

The tension is palpable...

A much better #parkrunday for me today as I cycled to Porty #parkrun, ran the whole thing and then cycled back. A vast improvement on last week for sure.

Other than a stiff breeze and some fallen twigs, no ill effects from the storm.

That's a cracker.
Those guardsmen are about to get murdered tho.

Following on from the revelation that I'll be playing in the ELG tabletop #bloodbowl league this season, I've picked up my first game vs 1m Vampires.

Between us we have 8 dedicated Fans, so it should be a money spinner. Just need to get through it without any major injuries so I can buy an apo.

This is the infamous "chicken hat" Griff. Not my favourite model, but still a beast.

He was part of the team that won Reekiebowl in '23 so he can stay.
