Stewbacca

This past Saturday was the first NAF event run by the 23rd best TO in London (TM), the nicest guy in Blood Bowl (TM) and nob lover Tofu! He had themed it around the Eurobowl ruleset and has some amazing and unique trophies for the event.   I opted to play high elves for a few reasons. The seem undertiered in Eurobowl, I've just painted the models, and I have been wanting them to become my new favourite team since they were announced... however that was on the assumption that they might be the only elf team with 4 catchers which obviously hasn't come to fruition.  There were two main roster builds for high elves in the rule set. I went for the one which included a stack with a dodge/strip ball white lion. This meant I also had 2 dodge dragon princes, dodge on the other lion, a leader thrower and a wrestle lino along with an apo. I thought that this would better suit my playstyle. I'd been working to improve my painting and I was very pleased with how they came out. I spent...

This Saturday we hosted the first SKABB event of the year, Blood on the Sand. It was the first time that damology was TOing a full Blood Bowl event after dipping his toe in the water with our Christmas Gutterbowl. He was being assisted by Fluffles and DaKanariez as well. The event was Tomb King themed, with the Canopic Jar inducement being available, the Tomb King kick off table and ancient, possibly cursed 3D printed trophies for the winners. Bretonnians had been tiered with the stunty teams to encourage coaches to take them, and you will find that two try hard coaches did just that, along with a little friend. The friend I chose was Skrorg and the friend Star Ferret chose was Griff. There were other players on our teams with a few skills, but they were really just there to round out the numbers.  Round 1 v Dan (danc) Dan has joined our league this season and doing well with Amazons. He'd brought humans along to the tourney and thinking that my team relies on Skrorg hitting and re...

This was my 6th NAF Championship. It is the one event I always try to make sure I make it to for a number of reasons, that I'm sure I've spoken about in previous years so I won't go over those again.  I've tried to take a different team to each one, and I'd also been trying to take a different team to each Season 3 tournament so far. However I decided to break with the second of these self-imposed restrictions and take dark elves which I'd taken to Sheffield, done well with and were one of the teams I was most interested in playing. I switched builds slightly and went for a block and wrestle witch, two dodge blitzers, only one assassin with dodge, a runner and six linemen. This allowed me to have 3 re-rolls plus a team mascot. I could have made it 4 re-rolls by switching the dodge on the assassin to leader on the thrower, which in hindsight I probably would have done.  Round 1 v Cornish I'd played Cornish at Waterbowl in 2025 and we'd drawn that game. Th...
