And with much great rejoicing the Dwarfs were painted! A mid summer choice was made to play them in the ECBBL Autumn season so they had 10 weeks to be painted. Having young children I don’t get to paint very frequently so this was actually a much shorter (no pun intended) timeframe than it seems. Still nothing seems to focus the mind as much as a deadline.

I would rate my painting at the same level of my Bloodbowl play: adequate (cite, Paul “Geggster” Gegg, 21/08/2019). So please enjoy the reasonably pretty pictures but don’t look too hard.

With the Dwarfs all balancing on their wire stilts & corks for painting (extreme measures to avoid being called short) I could for once create the basing for my team separately. Being Dwarfs there is only one suitable surface for them to play on: stone paving. This can however fall into the category of quite dull so I thought a while about how to liven it up a little.

Not being someone who can concentrate on a single project at once, while the goblins are being painted I have begun work on the next team...

For this project I wanted something very different. The Ying to the goblin Yang, the hard armoured surfaces to their cloth & flesh, the Tackle to their Stunty, and yes the no-fun to their fun.

Dwarfs it is then.

Having put together the majority of my goblin team from a Gnoblar regiment and some spares it was time to move onto the exciting part, the secret weapons. This was the part of the team I was most excited by as it really gives a chance to flex the ideas in ways that just aren't there for other BloodBowl sides.

When I relapsed back into miniature gaming (after 13 years clean dammit) I had 2 underlying aims I wanted to try and keep to:

  1. Stay true to my 12 year old self and make my teams mine, don’t settle for the same thing everyone else has.
  2. Try not to spend all of the money on this hobby.

Pledge 2 is proving a little hard to keep, but is at least assisted by my love of trawling small miniature manufacturers, eBay auctions and converting. From one of these random trawls through everyone’s favourite online tat bazaar I came across the genus of an idea for my Goblins.
