The Game that Started it all..

The game Blood Bowl is a game that first introduced me to the miniatures hobby. I loved the concept of it, the cross between American football and fantasy. It has always been a constant throughout my time in the hobby. It led me to play games such as Warhammer Fantasy, 40k, then eventually other games such as Dark Age, Warmachine and Malifaux etc. Blood Bowl is a game that i have always fallen back on. Whenever i felt burnt out from the hobby, tired of painting 5000 point armies or just not had the enough time, there would always be Blood Bowl.

Blood Bowl is all about fun, which is what all games should be about. While i do enjoy the epic large scale battles, sometimes painting up such a large force can become extremely monotonous. Sometimes taking a step back from all that and painting up a Blood Bowl team to have a few games with can be extremely rewarding and often inspire you to push on with some larger projects.

With all that being said, i just love the game, so for me it makes sense that my first proper blog should be about the game that started it all. The idea is that i will be looking at the various different teams available, some brief tactics and painting tutorials etc. The core of this blog will be based around painting and will document my progress as i aim to paint up one of every team.

 The first team up will be Orcs, and i will be working my way through all the current Blood Bowl teams. Thats all for now. Thanks for reading.
