From MartinC Fat pTony Not a Typo (200pts)

 My twin themes of Napoleonic Bavarians and Blood Bowl continues


We use Valour and Fortitude to fight Napoleonic and ACW battles. The rules prefer you to have limbers on the table, but they are big so we have moved to 2 horse limbers

3 Bavarian ones, the limbers are warbases and the horses Pendraken

And 3 Russian ones

Not feeling very verbose today so on to the blood bowl stuff. Boxed set comes with 2 teams, these are the Tomb Kings. Like all undead teams they are ok at tackling and rubbish at everything else

This is a crappy picture

My Mexican undead team is short of good players, they lost badly today, with most getting injured at least once. So they needed a mummy, but they are Mexicans and none Egyptian mummies are hard to find. I picked up this one on Etsy

He is quite chubby, and will be name Fat pTony



Finally a wraith star player, she can't have the ball and is there to spook out the opposition

She is named Gretchen Walter

Scores on the doors

16x28mm blood bowl players = 80pts
6x 2 horse limbers ( 5 per horse and 10 for the limber) = 120pts

Total = 200pts

Nice work here Martin.  I love to see limbers on table, even if I seldom represent them myself.  Find looking team you have, and I agree with the simplified teams.  yet another Blood Bowl team, what's your team count up to now?  I can't see enough of the Tomb King players, but I like Fat pTony.  I don't know what effect Gretchen will have on your opponents, but she scares me plenty!  I agree with your nose counting, so 200 it is.


Tuesday Night Open Mike February 10th

 


It's a little slower this week, perhaps the February blahs or perhaps let down after the "Toy Story" theme.   And it's mostly a county jam so far with the following acts confirmed.

  • MartinC limbers up his wagon
  • Sylvain opens a cold one and sings us some Bro Country songs about his truck and his dog.
  • JohnB has some old time railway songs for us.
  • AndrewG hauls out his lute for some Renaissance music. 
  • KenR promises us some yodelling.
And of course, a semi live music selection from me.  This one wasn't on my radar until my Campfire Guitar instructor handed out songs sheets on the firs tonight of the new semester.  As she suggests, I set up a playlist with them to reacquaint myself with them.  There's a mix of old songs, some I like, some not so much etc.  Tracy Chapman is a singer songwriter who fits the Open Mike night theme very well.  Talkin' Bout a Revolution is a protest song, but a fairly quiet one.  hat ells it is the arrangement, and most of all her deep and rich voice.
