Dark Elves - BloodBowl

Well the NFL season has kicked off for another season, and I have rather enjoyed reading about the Laughing Ferret's -  'Ape' Bloodbowl teams exploits over here.

 It had me rummaging in the display case to grab my Dark elf team, from way back when... A couple of pics for your enjoyment:

I think I probably painted these up in the early 90's... A few mates and I started a little league which ran for a wee while, though it was really me and a mate who had a dwarf team that played each other the most. I had a star Witch Elf that could back flip and somersault her way across the board, with ease... until the swine dwarf player , played "Peaked" on her. Damn!

Fun memories... slightly different angle to next picture. The eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed a tiny paint chip on the knuckle of one of the linemen, I'll have to get that fixed up...

I have been a Grid-Iron NFL fan for many years, and this game was always a great way to have some Grid-Iron style action on the table top. I could be wrong but I think its one of the games that GW has relegated to "Specialist" role, and the rules are probably freely available as a download. The pitch would be easy to make, and a few range markers for throwing wouldn't be too hard to make. You might even be able to get the appropriate dice from somewhere?

In the meantime, the NFL team I have followed for years, the Miami Dolphins are probably destined for another disastrous season... we seem to have been in a period of 'rebuilding' ever since Marino retired... and this year we have a new head coach and QB, I'm not holding my breath...
