Eurobowl - Post Game Analysis on races, predictions and a good time

As Team Scotland prepares to take on the World's Best in Poland next weekend it's time to get to know the team better. What better way could there possibly be than via the medium of Top Trumps? That's right. There isn't one. As preparation for this article I asked the squad to rank themselves in 5 categories: Experience (XP) Bash (B) Dash (D) Risk (R) Hair (H) No guidance was given, nor verification taken. I also requested a photo, a short bio from each and their highest race

Elves are the dominant race selection, what's the counter at Eurobowl in Warsaw this weekend?

At the outset it's worth mentioning that in a Mental Health emergency, please contact NHS 24 Mental Health Hub or Samaritans. Today is World Mental Health Day. Mental Health is a topic much discussed recently. From the perceived male loneliness epidemic, a skewed work-life balance and some seismic changes that society is undergoing right now, many people seem to be living through a time of crisis for their Mental Health. Whilst this article is ultimately positive in message,

In memory of Chris Noden’s late wife, Tracy At the start of the year, Team Scotland got together and decided that we would raise funds in memory of Tracy, Chris Noden’s late wife. It was our small way of letting Chris know we were thinking of him as he played his part in this year’s Team Scotland set-up for Eurobowl in Warsaw. That led to us selling Scotland Away shirts and Tartan Army t-shirts across the Blood Bowl community, alongside a specially commissioned miniature of K

At the start of September Destruction Bowl 5 took place in Irvine with 30 coaches battling it out for the crown. This years winner was Team Scotland's own lively locutor: Sporran. I asked him a few questions about the event in an attempt to glean some tournament tips. Congratulations on the win! What's the story behind your NAF name? Chose this gaming name way back around 2001. How long have you been playing and what are your favourite races? Tried BB back early 2000's, thoug

Welcome to our third tournament spotlight, where each month we will be speaking to one of Scotland's TO's about their event and finding out a little bit about their history and giving you some more information about these amazing events. Up this month we have Granite Bowl led by Phil Cairns (fromherashes) which is hosted in Aberdeen. When was the tournament first established? 2017 What inspired the creation of the tournament?

Episode 3 is always tricky. See: The Matrix, Star Wars Prequels (& Sequels), Aliens... But in this case, Episode 3 is easy enough because we've had such great submissions on the SBBC Hobby channel over the last month (and a bit - ahem). Friend of the channel Fozzington has been steadily working through some High Elves using some mesmerising blues and purples: See: Elves DogloBro has been in a giant mood recently... This classic chonky boi was for Thrud. Heavy in metal. Speaki

Team Scotland line-up announced by captain BB_Jock for Eurobowl XVII in Warsaw this coming October.

Buy one get one free this month as there was a feast of Blood Bowl played recently with two SBBC Champions crowned in a fortnight. I caught up with the winners of GlasBowl and MegaBowl, Jairo and Mournival, to put the usual post-tournament questions and see if I could discern their respective winning formulae. Jairo taking Gold in Glasgow Stripeydave: Congrats to you both on your respective wins! First up (as usual) how did you get your respective NAF names? Jairo: I'm not a

No guest authors today, this one from me about my recent experience "Freebooting" at a couple of recent tournaments. Well, kinda, but not quite... Running a Blood Bowl tournament is fraught with perils but the big one is: "will everyone show up"? With individual tournaments the TO is often the "spare man" and will bring a team so they can both O the T and play - rather than give up a bye every round and have a player sit around without a game. Not all TO's are so keen to play

Our most recent SBBC-sanctioned tournament report is from back in June where Keithabix came top of the pile in Elgin with his Brets. We caught up with the new Mayhem champion to find out how he did it. Congrats on the win! Tell me: how long have you been playing and what are your favourite races? I started playing online with a group of school friends around May 2021. I then joined the Éire BB (Irish Blood Bowl League) online around the end of 2021. Fast forward a year I ende

In the second in a (literal) series - here's what the Scottish Blood Bowl hobby community has been up to over the past month or so. First up, Doglobro's been painting up a Giant for his upcoming tournament: Jordan's work in progress Giant Next up: Connor G - Bunneh who painted up these scary Goblins for Dundee Doubles: Connor's horror-themed Goblins Callum also painted up a team for Dundee - some lovely Bretonnians: Some very dapper Bretonnian Knights More Goblins and this ti

While we've had FUMBBL since 2002, GW official online Blood Bowl grew out of a Cyanide title called Chaos League with the release of BB1 in 2009 - with iterations released in 2015 and 2020. After Cyanide went into administration earlier this year, there was a troubling lack of information on the future of the game until it was announced that the next game, Warhammer Blood Bowl would be picked up by GW-friendly studio Slitherine. Now that the Blood Bowl has a more secure futur

Welcome to our second tournament spotlight, where each month we will be speaking to one of Scotland's TO's about their event and finding out a little bit about their history and giving you some more information about these amazing events. Up this month we have Glasbowl led by Lewis Mullan (LewishM) which is hosted in Glasgow. When was the tournament first established? 2022 What inspired the creation of the tournament? Lack of tournaments in Glasgow at the time How has the eve

June 21st is a special day in many ways: it's midsummer's day, it's my sister's birthday, but it's also MND Awareness Day. You may have spotted that the Scottish Blood Bowl Community has recently been raising money for a couple of MND charities - with funds being raised at STC for MND Scotland and the latest Team Scotland charity drive for the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation. MND has been in the news a lot recently after former England and British Lions rugby player Lewis Moody r

I love tournaments that Team Scotland stalwart and closet Dundonian Camelchops goes to because - due to a pre-existing agreement - I can copy his blog posts her for free content! So here's the next installment - Dundee Doubles. Enjoy! This weekend I traveled North to "visit my parents" i.e. play some Bloodbowl. Specifically, the Dundee Doubles. I’ve wanted to play this one for a while, not just because its close to home, but also because the ruleset is a bit bonkers. Tiers, b

In the first in a (putative) series - here's what the Scottish Blood Bowl hobby community has been up to over the past month or so. First up, mariotta has been working away on a Halfling for the SBBC legacy team: Awesome purple/green combo. Nest up: antholex who's about to start on "the first Warhammer models I’ve ever built and painted". You're going to have a ton of fun. Love the guy whose arm seems to have fallen off. I may steal that idea. Next up, some stunning Gnomes fr
