Sam's Intro OWAC VI : Ah yes Sportsball!

Like my good friend AdamH and many other OWACers this year, I also like balls! And cups! Especially those! Yes, the thrill of the competition, that’s me in a nutshell! So for this years OWAC I’ve decided that I’ll be cupping balls… wait, no, that’s not what I meant to say! Bloodbowl, yes that’s it! Painting Bloodbowl!

So back when I was growing up I played a shit-tonne of Bloodbowl. In fact it was probably my most played game. Not only was it more accessible due to the everything in a box, low model count, self contained rule set, it also was a lot of fun to a bunch of snotty nosed teenagers. The edition I played was 3rd Ed. and looking back at all the old artwork by Wayne England and David Gallagher gives me that sweet sweet nostalgia hit every time. So with this years specialty focus I was onboard in a heartbeat.

For the models I’ve got four teams, humans, dwarves, chaos and undead making up the rank and file. A bunch of star players for the leader month. And for the wildcard month (assuming I don’t need to bail myself out with a crispy fried mulligan) an absolutely stunning 3D pitch kindly printed for me by AdamH.

 

A few Chrimbo latecomers still in need of a stripping

Finally in tribute to The Beneficent Overlord I submit this happy little chappy.


Any preference of player number O mighty Overlord? Otherwise my inner child will decide and it'll be 69

Otherwise, as always I look forwards to all the sweet painted models by the rest of the challengers. Good luck to all and peace out!

  4. The pitch is a great wildcard choice. Here's hoping you won't need a mulligan. With all this Bloodbowl greatness I absolutely refuse to start scouring Ebay...
