Yeah i still love bloodbowl but blitz bowl is so much fun and quick and easy to play. I love the nod to the old kick off table results in the cards. A great game all round.

Finished another 10 night goblins. This time including the command group. I think they look pretty good for about 15 minutes per miniature. #miniaturepainting #Wargaming #nerdlings

Well that was the best concert I have been to in ages. Absolutely top notch. Although I was feeling rather young, the average age was probably mid 60s

Very true. Better table ready and done than works of art and never finished.

I used to try and paint everything to win painting competitions. It took forever. I have now found that happy medium of speedpaint and looks good enough on the table. And my throughput has sky-rocketed, just shy of 300 last year.

Just finished the first 10 night goblins out what I think will be about 200. Not bad for a quick and dirty paint job. #miniaturepainting #Wargaming #nerdlings

A couple of shots of a game of #battletech alphastrike yesterday. Clan smoke jaguar vs the combine. Some great moments a blackhawk coring my maruder as a build collapsed on top of it and the elementals learning a building won't protect them from a SRM carrier. #wargaming #nerdlings

I have spent the last couple of days working on some warmaster lizardmen. I think they are going pretty well for a smaller scale. #miniaturepainting #Wargaming #nerdlings

I agree. Sometimes it can just be the shade of a colour that makes everything different

I have just done my calculations and I painted 296 miniatures this year. Exceeding my goal of 250 so not too shabby. I think i will aim to cracking 300 next year. #miniaturepainting #Wargaming #nerdlings
