Hobby Time
It's been a while since I have done anything hobby related. Not since Christmas in fact. I think doing so much painting of Blood Bowl teams ready for tournaments just wiped out my hobby energy. I had been painting some High Elves which I had intended to take to Boudica Bowl back in February but I didn't get them finished - so I'm now aiming to use them at the Twisted Cup one-day tournament in July.
I have been playing a few league games of Blood Bowl here and there with my Undead and Goblins and I've also played a game of Judge Dredd. I have decided to try to use some of the Guild Ball teams I bought last year and I also wanted to try my hand a Malifaux as there's a decent amount of people playing it at my club. I'm really looking for some game systems that I can play whenever the Blood Bowl league has finished!
For Malifaux, I have opted to collect the Guild. This is partly because I like the undead / cowboy look to them and they seem to have the least amount of weird stuff - so it should be easier for me to get to grips with the game. I started with Guild's Judgement box set as I like the look of the Death Marshalls who carry coffins around with them :) When it came to building them, I was really glad that I had bought myself some tweezers as the minis are really fiddly to construct. The Death Marshalls were especially mad - two of them are leaping off the coffins are are only connected by a hand or the sole of a boot. I'll have to see how I get on with the game before I get any more minis in this range.
On top of this, I've started painting the GW High Elves again so hopefully I'll get those ready for the tournament in time.

For Guild Ball, I bought into the game when it was released. I bought the Butchers team from Mat Hart himself at Salute last year and picked up Masons and Brewers shortly after that. I played a demo game at the time and I just didn't do anything else with them as I was playing so much Blood Bowl. At the Bunker club there has been a Guild Ball league playing and I felt I was missing out a bit - so I dug out the minis and built the Butchers team so I can get some games in even if I have missed out on the league.
