Captain's Log... The Mayhem...

Stolen from the internet

Holidays, work, new miniatures, birthdays, work,  new books, work, tournaments, league games, work... You get the picture.

Yet now, it's a vacation... and I still have a serious problem to sort out. Serious, very serious...

Captain's Log... This is Bloodbowl!...

Used without permission from these guys: CoolMiniOrNot

Not much hobby but three nights of Blood Bowl in our local league. High Elves, Chaos Dwarves, and Chaos Pact. All these games were for division positioning. We have two divisions in our local league and the top three in each are going to the playoffs. With only five games... every, game, counts! Frustration with 'dice', not my playing, is kicking me in my A$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!

The Washington Ratskins's spokesman can tell you more about the matches...

Captain's Log... Reading...

You can get this book here: LINK

I was away for work for a week and didn't get much physical hobby stuff done. Now that I am back I'm gearing up with more painting and plotting.

Always with the plotting...

I have been reading though about my favorite guys the 'Dark Angels' or as a xenos I know calls them... beakies in robes.

Captain's Log... Yellow...

I'm working with yellow and red for the 'Ratskins'...

Captain's Log... Gone, Not Forgotten...

I have not been busy. I have been sick and have played an entire season without blogging. It is what it is.

All I ask is that you follow me down the rabbit hole...

Captain's Log... Last Rat Standing...

A devoted fan... I think.

Ladies and Gentlemen... and all those in the stands without a cushion!

The Finks regularly scheduled programming has been interrupted due to a change in stadiums where they conduct the day to day business of the game called 'Blood Bowl'. I'd call it other names but I'm not getting my '[Insert Expletive]' handed to me at the moment and I don't have to burn any dice.

Let me explain...

Captain's Log... Distracted...

There are words in this picture?

I typically don't post stuff like this but after SinSynn 'begged' me not to tell you I lost my season closer to a bunch of 'girls'. Well...

I give you the rating corner for this post only...

Captain's Log... Karma...

Maybe... maybe not...

Loyal readers, coveted fans, and farts in the wind...

My season continues to be a game by game grind through Blood Bowl. This week was no different and I managed to squeeze out two games.

Captain's Log... The Roller Coaster...

No permission whatsoever...

Oddly this seems like a very appropriate picture for my season with the Finks.

This is a real roller coaster where you can strap yourself on and ride down. Thrilling?! Yes, please and twice on Sunday. Scary?! Darn too-tin!... with an extra helping of WTF!

My season has had some ups and downs but I'm sticking with it... two more regular season games and some challenge matches. It's gonna be tight and somebody and something is getting cut unless I get really lucky.

However...

Captain's Log... The Fix is in...

If they're scared they should say they are scared!

Earlier this week I had the 'pleasure' of playing another 'bashy' team. While not the results I hoped for, they weren't as bad as thy could have been.

How do I start this post...

I could tell you that all was well and things were looking good... but the rats need a touch of touch-up paint. I could tell you that the direction I was going was up... but I think it's more like a stumbling side step.

High noon. It's almost like a western and you expect someone to ride in and save your butt...

Nope.

The Sons of the Apocalypse (Chaos), The DoomBeards (Chaos Dwarves), and The Beasts of Burden are running through our Blood Bowl League like water through a sieve.

I am bound and determined to make them pay for the things they have done... or kill my team trying!

Captain's Log... Bacon Bowl...

Mister Pig... used without permission.

I actually had a good day with all the food and the people from out of town who came to our Blood Bowl league semi-annual tournament.

Oh! The picture... you want to know why the picture? Our tournament is bacon themed so should this post... sheesh... XD

Captain's Log... A Field of Bacon...

My first custom pitch just in time for our local leagues semi-annual tournament. As I write this the field is being printed. The printer also upgraded the paper since the stuff I ordered isn't feeding into the maching correctly. At least the Finks are getting some luck in certain corners!

I have the tournament on Saturday and a match on Sunday. If things go as planned I'll post something up Sunday afternoon.

I'll be constructing a tournament roster in the corner till then...

Captain's Log... One more step...

It seems like a lifetime ago that I wore these...

Ten miles, uphill, in the snow, both ways... with broken glass...

If I had a nickel for every time I've heard this cliche... except for that last part... However, I that is how my season 'feels' regardless of the results. Maybe it's part results and part my attitude.

I was hoping for a few lucky rolls on players and could still get one but it's all uphill against some tough opponents. What are you going to do? Just put one foot in front of the other and take one more step. I'm not as 'stylish' as SinSynn is at the House of Paincakes when it comes to writing this out but we both get our point across.

You do what you have to do.

Captain's Log... I have been the road...

Used without any permission whatsoever. 

I have been the road.

That sums up the previous two games for my team the Finks. However, tonight that improved when I played another one of our leagues coaches.

Charles is a great supporter of the local Blood Bowl league and of other events when he gets the chance. I think we are lucky  to count him in each season when he plays due to his competitiveness and  variety of teams he plays. Slann, Skaven and now Vampires, he is out there on the pitch with the rest of us... soaking in blood one way or another.

Now, on to the report...

Captain's Log... From Bad to Worse...

This is how I felt going into the game...

I was beat up earlier this week with the Skaven and after 24 hours of feeling sorry for myself I was ready to get back on the wagon and play some more Blood Bowl. I arranged a game today with another coach in our league...

That was my second mistake...

Captain's Log... Punishment...

I'd tell you that I played Blood Bowl earlier this evening but I can't. For some reason it feels like I didn't even show up.

I know, I know... Do I need a little cheese with that whine? Why yes, yes I do!

I'll just let you read and then ask questions if you like...

Look! Another post! Amazing isn't it?!

Over the last two weeks I have been busy getting the corner ready for sale. It seems that the Irish Princess is ready for a larger corner with a garage. Me too...

However, I have managed to play in a tournament for Blood Bowl and get in the first match of our leagues 8th season.

Captain's Log... Imagine this...

...this is the first post of my blog for this year. Yes, it is.

I have been busy and life has been interfering with my hobby time. I have also been teaching myself photoshop... thus the picture above.
