Well, I am (very) slowly chipping away at my Dwarf team for Diablo Bowl. Diablo Bowl is exactly three weeks from today, and as always… I have pretty much waited until the last minute to paint. As always, my biggest problem is motivation. In case I have not mentioned it lately, I REALLY do not enjoy painting minis, but it has to be done. And since I have already won a couple of trophies at various Blood Bowl tournaments (including last year’s Diablo Bowl), I might as well do the best job I can. The upside is that all the minis that I NEED for this team at the tournament are already done. The minis that I am painting now are pretty much for “wow” factor. And since the best mini painter that I personally know, my friend James, is currently deployed, I might actually stand a chance of bringing home another trophy this year. 🙂

Yeah, I know. It has been quite a while since my last post. What can I say? Life happens…

Anyway, with Nuffleween getting closer, I have been working on painting up a new team for the tournament. I pretty much ALWAYS play bash teams, I decided that I really wanted to try something new this time… And not just a new bash team. I had a bunch of old 3rd edition GW Dark Elf minis, so I decided that it was high time I gave an elf team a try. Once I picked my team, it was time to decide on a color scheme.

Had a brutally disastrous (for me) game of Mordheim tonight… But the upside is that my friend, James, brought over his nifty light box, so I was able to take a few decent pictures of my AWARD WINNING Dwarf Blood Bowl team, the Hittsburg Steelbeards… Did I mention that they are AWARD WINNING?! 🙂

OK, so Orclahoma Bowl/Spiky Cup weekend was two weeks ago and I am just now getting around to posting about how things went. What can I say? It has been a rough two weeks on the personal front. Anyway, this will be a pretty short post, with only a quick overview because way too much happened to remember many specific details.

Well, thanks to a week in Atlanta for work, getting this Dwarf team finished in time for Orclahoma Bowl/Spiky Cup REALLY came down to the wire. I was starting to get more than a little nervous that I was not going to be able to finish the team in time. Luckily, though, I was worried for nothing because I managed to finished with just a few days to spare. This is probably the last team I will be painting for a little while as I really need a bit of a break. I also really need to finish the final installment of my Mordheim terrain tutorial series. Thirdly, I think it is REALLY time for a hobby desk overhaul. I am in dire need of some major organization, and less crap EVERYWHERE.
