Captain's Log... Bluebeard Oban...

I've painted up another troll slayer for Blood Bowl. I found the Impact 'Scotling' Caber Teams great visually but were difficult to work with on the board. I have since painted two new models, the 'rage' Scotling', and painted one with a read beard and the other pictured after the break with a blue beard.

If you happen to read this a comment about the beard would be helpful. I'm not sure it came out 'ok'. I'm willing to try again.

I'll be in the some corner...

Captain's Log... Free Stuff...

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Who doesn't like free stuff? Ok, free tentacles, slime, Phillis Diller pin-ups, and prunes... not so much! What I am talking about here is 'cool' free stuff. All you have to do is hit the link, follow the directions, and see if you win.

Nuff said!

I'll be in other corners with the smell of new carpet,

Captain's Log... Sites vs Communities...

There is always two sides to the coin.

Hello and welcome to the corner...

I'm Captain Kellen and will be your host, tour guide, and jailer on this opinion piece that just popped into my head inspired by fellow commentators from the...

House of PainCakes.

Loquacious made a comment that sparked an idea and an exchange of idea's is really what our hobby is about. Wouldn't you agree?

Captain's Log... Humperdink 'Bluebeard' Oban...

I;n still here and still playing Blood Bowl. The pictured 'scotling' is a a troll slayer with a bluebeard, the only 'dwarf' with a blue beard.

I'll be in some corner if you need me...

Captain's Log... Going Rogue...

The Doctor is in!

Yes, you read it right.

After years of playing 40K and playing marines (the heroes in my eyes) with a side trip (two or three games) down other paths, I'm going to play a second race in another game. Follow me down this rogue path...

Captain's Log... Team Photo...

I finished my first season of Blood Bowl with a record of 3-8-1... no playoffs for me in our league. I wasn't surprised but still hoped that I might have beaten out a couple of the other teams with similar records. Season Five for the Richmond area starts after the holidays and a tournament is in Norfolk in January run by another group. 2013 is looking good for moar blood on the pitch!

Just three photos after the break without any witty comments. Except for the photo bomb by one of my blockers showing you his bloomers.

Captain's Log... All is not lost...

All is not lost for those of you that have followed my blog. No sea monster has eaten me, no sickness has taken me to other realities, nor have I lost my way to my blog.

I've been busy doing what we do... hobby stuff. 40K 6th Edition is in the throngs of newness and the new Chaos Codex has traitorous hearts all a flutter. All is as it should be and is well and truly good for the hobby.

I have been playing Bloodbowl in the 4th season of the local stores league. I have been playing at least once a week and the rest of my 'hobby time' has been to paint my team and build a pitch for the game. I have also been writing a few 'news' bulletins on the local forum for fun. I hope they are funny and amusing.

I am close to finishing my team and will post some pictures of the team standing on the field I built because they look really good with that as the background.

After the break you can find the nine news bulletins which may or may not tell you how the team is doing this season. My record is 3 - 3 in league play and it doesn't look like I will make it to the palyoffs this season but... things change and never count a dwarven bloodbowl player down till he is in the 'red' box.

Thanks for following and enjoy the creative writing around the corner...

Captain's Log... Team Expansion...

I have been busy with my league match (a loss) and painting. The pitch from last post earned me extra gold for upgrades and such.

I have this theme going on with the league that instead of my 'fictitious' team being injured it is their off-pitch activities that cause them to miss games. I was a man down last game, used the rules for a substitute, and then promptly bought him so I have an extra guy on the team. So when I write that I am going for a layer I really mean an apothecary.

Instead of explaining a lot of 'stuff' I just post some pictures...

Captain's Log... The Field...

I have been working on a custom pitch and stuff for Blood Bowl. It nets me more 'gold' in our league and promotes the game.

Captain's Log... Stuffity Stuff...

The CornerStones are in-progress and as you can see... ready to throw the ole pigskin around the pitch. The red square is to place under the player with the 'pig' and of course 'Mr. Pig' will be watching the action first hand during play!
