Fan of many things, but mostly trying to make Blood Bowl on Bluesky happen. Occasionally masquerades as a massive green chap.
Yesterday was a proud day for me. This miniature was auctioned off for £50 going to charity (MIND and Roy Castle if you're interested). Sadly I couldn't be there in person but my #Thrudball mole was on the scene to report back. #BloodBowl #MiniPainting
Eldritch you say? Yes, I think this counts. Sadly I think this might be the quickest arrival to painted mini I've ever done. And I tested it like a historical mini so this is as screen accurate as I could make it. #Nerdlings
I may have made some very questionable decisions for the paint scheme for my Ogre team. #BloodBowl #Nerdlings #MiniPainting
#UKGE #BloodBowl Brawl enters it's final round. Three coaches on 2 wins, who's going to take the trophy? Well, none of them because there isn't one.
Round 2 of the #UKGE #BloodBowl Brawl is go! Highlight of round 1 is the goblin Vs goblin match with one team causing 11 casualties to the other...
Round 1 of the UKGE #BloodBowl Brawl is well under way. 20 coaches smashing each other up!
#BloodBowl coaches of bluesky, I need advice. I'm entering the Home nations as one of the teams from Birmingham. Being from Brum we've decided to all take a minotaur. Yes, even though they're crap. I've got Chaos Chosen. What do we think of this roster?
Finally I have finished the Percy the Troll for Thrudball. There is no prize for correctly identifying which rule Percy is confused by. #BloodBowl #Thrudball
The #BloodBowl Skaven I've been working on. I'm really pleased with how they came out. Some of the best sculpts in the 3rd edition range. I'm not sure what to paint next. I need to do some Goblins for a mate or I could paint Bretonnians for myself. #MiniPainting #Nerdlings
Some corners of the universe have bred the most terrible things... @badsquiddogames.bsky.social #Turkeyman #Nerdlings #MiniPainting
With most of the Time Kings tied up on my orcs they could only mark the ball carrier. A 3+ dodge to score and tie the game. The Tomb kings had 3 turns left and Chaney stayed off. They managed the pick up but needed to pass so I swamped the receivers to force dodges which failed. 1-1
Game 2 I played Varag Orcs. 2 big masses of green smashing into each other. I remember this was a fun game that ended 0-0 but I can't remember much about it... I know we kept forgetting some of the new orc rules like team captain which is unfortunate but probably kept me in the game
The orcs couldn't knock the snots down, Nobbla rolled a kickback and KOd himself on turn 1. At the end of the drive I passed the Argue the call roll but he never woke up. The underworld scored in the first half, I scored in the second despite my lack of mobility and the strip ball blitzers.
Finally there are 2 elves left. 1 is stunned, 1 has the ball. The ball carrier tries to dash up the flank but gets clobbered by 2 goblins and an orc. The ball bounces to a goblin who runs off to score in the dying second. A 2-0 win and 5 League points is a much better start than expected.
New season of Mayhem #BloodBowl League kicked off this evening. My Irn Bruisers (Black Orcs) played the Blackwater Park Rangers (Elven Union). It was very sunny, which suits me because I have no intention of passing, and I won the toss. I had figured that I needed early removals so I received.
A further update on the Thrudball Percy I just need to finish the book now. #BloodBowl #Nerdlings
Progress on the Thrudball Percy. I think I've got the mauve as close as I can manage to the official colour. #BloodBowl #Nerdlings
WIP off my latest Percy the Troll mini. Underpaint was purple this time and I think it works very well. Hopefully this will go into the charity auction at Thrudball #BloodBowl #Nerdlings
First mini of 2026, painted on a whim it's Captain Karina Von Reiz the #BloodBowl star player.
