Pitchin' #1

 Imperial "Nobility"     Blood bowl has always fascinated me, but due to my poor hobbying skills and lack of local friends interested in playing the game, I sat on my interest for the game for many years. I dabbled in DungeonBowl and Kerrunch! ( a very cool kids version released back in the 90's ) and my cousin and I played a game or two of the 2016 version. I really enjoyed Blood Bowl 2 on steam and still think it's one of the best ported iterations of the tabletop. I followed the formative blog  Big Boss Redskullz  where Tommy crafted, among other amazing creations, wonderful blood bowl teams that had my inspiration running high. Another amazing source of inspiration was the, now defunct, Senshinchamber DungeonBowl blog. (It is, however, available through the  Wayback Machine )      But my Blood Bowl drought continued. Mostly due to having no one to play with.      It's still the case but I do what I want. (Though I may have ...

Siege #1

 Warhammer Siege #1     I talked about it a bit in my inaugural post, but Warhammer Siege is a huge inspiration for me and I would love to start running my own games using my own custom castle. (Not that the  OG Mighty Fortress  isn't cool AF)     Having, just this weekend, partaken in the sacrament of old school wargaming that is 3-D Roleplay Con IV (pictures and thoughts incoming?) I am revitalizing this project and finishing up the gribbly odds and ends. Here are some WIP pics from the inspirational aftermath of last years 3DRCon.      Byron Harmon had built a set of walls for his Siege game at the con, which is where I got the actual nuts and bolts build ideas. I used balsa wood, which is incredibly cheap and shaved off the edges at an angle, to create a bit more interesting 'texture' for the planks. Since it's a chaos castle, I wasn't too worried about it looking uniform or neat so I could hack and chop and hot glue pieces together ...

"Just start." Something I've been repeating to myself for the last few years.       It's a little unsettling how much I can get done if I just start. I was always told the most difficult aspect of running is going and getting your running shoes on, that literal first step to get out the door is always the hardest. Starting a blog has been an absolute chore for me. I have refused to "put on my running shoes" and just start.  But here we are. Just starting.      Speaking of starting, I'm going to have my inaugural post feature my High Elf army. I began this army project on June 9, 2023. Nearly one year into the project I have a fully painted oldhammer army that I feel really good about. I hadn't planned to have a however-many-points-this-army-is WHFB 3rd edition force when I started the project, but between the breaks I've kept at it. Kept "just start"ing. I now have a fairly sizable force. The Beginning      A couple years ago I had...
