Revenge, I shall have thee!

Oh Michael? Look what I found:
Elf Team Yup, it's my Elf team. The first miniatures I ever bought, and amongst the first I ever painted. Scarily, of the figures I own, they're also the best painted unit, even though I last redid them when I was 18, way before I'd spent 10 years working for the company painting figures every day. My Cawdor gang for Necromunda is quite good, but these just rule.

Anyway, the point of all this? Well, after last weeks debacle, I have gone through all the gaming crap piled on the storage shelf and dug out the team I know I can win with. So, firstly, a rematch my friend. When?

Secondly? [livejournal.com profile] londonbloodbowl. Only just set it up, no posts, or rules, or anything. If Mike and I are going to be playing regularly, might as well organise something, right? I've sent invites to those who expressed an interest, but anyone else, feel free to join and we'll see what we can arrange.

Wow! They are lovely. Though I'm afraid in my family were more into chucking them at each other than painting and actually playing with them. I forget why we thought this fun. I don't suppose it matters, though.

So, anyway- I'm gonna go throw some small metal bits at my kids for nostalgia's sake.

Crap- any idea how to get a tiny saber out of a nostril?

Screw it, it builds character.

Blimey... takes me back. I'm sure my teams are still gathering dust somewhere at my parents. And I'm sure the rules have changed several times again since I last played.

They have odd boots for a reason?

Since when are Elves meant to be practical?

And I may know nothing about this stuff, but I'm afraid I'll have to warn you in advance that I'll die laughing if he beats you again after this post... ;)

My views on Elves being informed principally by LotR geekery and Pratchett even-more-geekery... Yeah. And that's without even going into the films...

Orlando Bloom

* shudder *

I might let him win

Ahahahahahahahaha got THAT one in early, didn't you?

* giggles *

that's me being crap

But cute with it ;)

* makes stabbing motions at Orlando Bloom on the comic *

I mean Haldir, yeah, he's an arse, but at least he DIES.

Still, at least there's a bit of me Gimli in there as well.

Oy! Gimli is me, not you, all those silly mems tell me so.

Look, I got there first, AND I'm shorter than you. So ner.

First read the book when I was 7... O:-)

* is having strange visions of plaiting each other's beards now *

My head is in a freaky place tonight, isn't it?

Oh. My. God. Blood Bowl. It's been sooo long... So long, in fact, that I don't even have the game anymore. Started playing with some young'uns (well, youngish... They were about 20, I was about 25) a few years back, kept winning even when they tried the Patent Undead Juggernaut O'Doom, left the game at their place one time, never went back until a whiles later when I found they'd moved.

Ah well, it takes me back. Thanks :D

....

Dammit! Now I wanna play the Green Bay Hackers again!

I'm not crazy, damnit!

Coincidentally, Duncan is currently running a league here. My team, the Spitburg Soulstealers, is running with no TD difference at all, but that hardly matters when compared to a nice, healthy casualty difference.

They even pulled off a pass last game. Seconds before the final whistle...

Chaos. Chaos stab! Moo! Blood! Tentacles!

I'm sure we can work out rematch time, if it's league rules (I'll get around to joining the community tomorrow).

And seriously? Long haul planning, against undead? You know you'll win the first few games on points, because I'll be busy killing your team....

Not so far. And remember, +5 to foul rolls. You fall over, you die. And two Mummies says someone will fall over...

Nah, they just lose the few they have. [/vicious]
