Painted Soldiers Play Better

A blog for painting historical wargaming miniatures. Periods covered include the chariot era, classical world, medieval period (Clash of Empires), colonial Africa (specifically Sudan), Old West and World War 2 (Rules of Engagement). As all gamers know, painted soldiers perform better on the tabletop than unpainted ones. It's just a scientific fact. The dice gods respect painted armies and frown upon heretical, lazy or impatient players that don't treat their armies with love and care.

It's W.A.N.C. time! Blood Bowl season returns!

It's the start of the 2013 Welsh Amateur Nuffle Championship (WANC) and I am pleased to announce that I have agreed a one-season contract to coach Red Star Bassaleg, a Pro Elf team in their first crack at the WANC.

We'll have some squad news and build up to the season opener, plus a report from the Firestorm United Conference Cup (FUC Cup) preliminary round in which we will be up against experienced Human team, the Howling Owls.

And here's the squad...

RED STAR BASSALEG

With 1.1m to spend we went for a thrower, both blitzers, 3 catchers and 5 linemen. The miniatures are from Black Scorpion: http://www.blackscorpionminiatures.com/product_info.php?products_id=285&osCsid=50p2nqgkf40escrpfcgabtvam3

I didn't paint gems - far too bourgeois for this team - and wanted the colours to be dull rather than bright, as you might normally see with Elf teams.
