Painting Sucks when...

1) You decide to try something new and get it right the first time. Then you decide "Hey I need to bring those colors together a bit", so you apply wash. Then you wash out the awesome blending you just did and turn it into solid gold ass!

2) You paint some models for a friend and then you paint some for yourself. Then you realize the job you did for your friend was better than the one you did for yourself.

3) You finish paint a miniature and then drop it on the floor.... then the cat attacks it like its a ball of Catnip.

4) You think the model you just painted is highlighted with the proper colors, then you take it into normal light and see that in fact the job you just did can only be seen under Film Crew Lighting.

/me tears out hair!

The 6th year of the BC League, Thunderbowl's 21st consecutive season is now complete. All the Round of 12 matches and byes are now decided.

First Overall: C-League: Power Slaves - Necromantic at 8-0-2 140 Lps; Coach: John M. Good job Johnny. You seem akin to Undead teams. 

Most Casualties: B-League: Heathens of Blood Bowl - Undead - 51 Cas; Coach: Tony. That's a new league record by 10, and a record that probably will never be broken in 10 games. You are a bastard reds.

Most Touchdowns: C-League: Nottingham Forest Falcons - High Elves - 28 TDs Coach: Simon. You still need a bunch to go before you break the Lords record for most touchdowns in a season, but good show Simon.

Most Casualties Against: C-League: Empty Threat - Halflings - 36 Cas Against; Coach: Lee. Ouch. No wonder you're going back to Chaos next season.

B-League had 2 teams that had 8 wins this season, C-League had 4.

Okay guys. One Round of 12 game decided. 7 more to go. Lets get it on. 

And thanks to all for a pretty care free season. 3 Yellow cards handed out in total. Out of 36 coaches that's not bad at all.

As there are 3 games still left to be played, there are more than a few possibilities.

One: Tyler bt. Tony, Murray ties Ryan G, Ryan S bt. Dylan

#1: Ryan G; #2 Murray; #3 Tony; #4 Craig. Tyler goes #6th over Sean as Tyler won h2h. Sean goes #7th, Jing goes #8th. All other seeds remain unchanged. Ryan S and Dylan's result only matter for Underbowl.

Two: Tyler bt. Tony, Murray bt. Ryan G

#1: Murray; #2: Tony; #3: Ryan G; #4: Craig. Tyler goes #6th over Sean as Tyler won h2h. Sean goes 7th, Jing goes #8th. All other seeds remain unchanged.

Three: Tyler bt. Tony, Ryan G bt. Murray

#1. Ryan G; #2: Tony; #3: Craig; #4: Murray. Tyler goes #6th over Sean as Tyler won h2h. Sean goes 7th, Jing goes #8th. All other seeds remain unchanged.

Four: Tony ties Tyler, Murray ties Ryan G

#1: Tony; #2: Ryan G; #3: Murray; #4: Craig. Tyler goes #8th. Sean goes 6th. Jing goes #7th. All other seeds remain unchanged.

Five: Tony bt. Tyler, Murray ties Ryan G

#1: Tony; #2: Ryan G; #3: Murray; #4: Craig. Tyler goes #8th. Sean goes #6th. Jing goes 7th. All other seeds remain unchanged.

Six: Tony bt. Tyler; Murray bt. Ryan G

#1: Tony; #2: Murray; #3: Ryan G; #4: Craig. Tyler goes 8th. Sean goes 6th. Jing goes 7th. All other seeds remain unchanged.

 Seven: Tony bt. Tyler, Ryan G bt. Murray

#1: Tony; #2: Ryan G; #3: Craig; #4: Murray. Tyler goes 8th. Sean goes 6th. Jing goes 7th. All other seeds remain unchanged.

I'm hoping for Scenario three, with Tyler bt. Tony, and Ryan G bt. Murray. This puts Tyler in #6th vs. #11 Bob. Ryan G bt. Murray would put me in #3 over Murray in the standings. Go Lizzies and Chaos!!

So after my rather dissapointing season of 2-3-5, I decided I was the Tie man, maybe as a Coach my half time speech was good but just not inspiring enough for the win. Anyway yesterday after 2 very close games 9 and 10 both ending in Ties it was deduced that Jason W and his Carrion Crawlers would be playing my team Frengard Foxes for a playoff spot.

To be honest I was a little worried as my team lost Game 1 of the Season to Jason's Skaven, but going into the game my TV was slightly higher due to my stupidly high Skill Costs. Jason selected a Bloodweiser Babe and Dirty Tricks card for his inducements.

The game was very close in the TD's, on each offensive drive the offensive team would score in 2-3 turns but as the game progressed the Humans were really putting the hurt on the Skaven. Towards the end of the 2nd half it was 3-3 and there were 9 Skaven in the CAS box, 0 Humans. This was an obvious advantage and with just 1 turn left I managed to roll a Blitz on the drive which gave me a great advantage as I could mark the remaining Skaven and even reach the ball and pick it up with a Blitzer. This left Jason 1 turn to get the ball but he was heavily marked and attempted a dodge out only to have Nuffle screw him with 2 failed dodges and a turnover, on my last turn I did not dally and just ran that ball in for a 4-3 win.

I will say that even though Skaven are squishy, man they can score fast if you leave a gap, and they do not need many players on field to score.

Going into Cup Day my team is sitting at approximately TV 163 with 11 games under their belt, I think this is my best Team Rating at the end of any 1st Season.
