 So I've only played half a game of blood bowl, and I've ordered the starter box, but do I need this? In my defense it is wicked cool. And priced pretty reasonably compared to just a plain pitch?

 This is (some of) the stuff I was poorly priming earlier today. Cheap dragons that I'll be painting with a few dragon obsessed (wings of fire) children at a birthday

 Really diving in on the Old Mill now that it is October. The color scheme is based on the ride at Kennywood, and gave me a trust the process moment since it is a little weird.

Seeing it more together, I believe it will work. Possibly with adjustments. Still a way to go.

Glad to hear you enjoyed i... 
 @99b9ed46 I've got to do a little more reading on different teams I think. I played snotlings last night, which is very much the chaos style that I want, but while I'm learning the game, really a bit much to keep track of. 
 Bloodbowl went awesome! Who knew playing games in person surrounded by people with similar interests would be so fun?? Shocking I know. Thank you for sending me your social energy.

Considering picking up the big starter box, that seems like the best value?

 Going to the game store to learn blood bowl tonight! Send me your social energy! 
 Was sort of at a loss for the tombstone that goes on the base of the pube devil, so I grabbed the color wheel and sort of went crazy. 

I like it I think? If I stick with it it'll need some refinement. Might just be knocking everything back with some browns, definitely adding some highlights and shadows. 

Bare minimum got to put some matte varnish on that shiny magenta at the bottom.

 The NMM will continue until the vibes are correct!

These boots are taking forever, there are so many nooks and crannies, and an arm bracer (?) to go as well. Doesn't help that I am also slow 😆. Today is the first day I've had time to add more paint in a lil.

 Ok, finally feeling a bit more like myself, as in I can walk the dogs without feeling like I need a nap afterwards! Got to do a little bit of painting, reworked this fellas hat and gave him some goofy eyes. 

It would be nice to finish the building he'll go with by Halloween. We'll see.

 Once again the thrift store is the root of hobby inspiration - another ceramic building to be converted for the Halloween village. This will definitely pay homage to Our Flag Means Death.

The open question is do I attempt to snap off the snowman or sculpt it into a kraken tentacle?

Spoiler alert, there will be kraken tentacles either way.

 Watched F1 qualifying and painted with my daughter this afternoon, really an ideal setup.

Quick job on our cowboy skeleton friend's bones. Something about it is off for me, either the tone is too brown or the highlights being sloppy because I dry brushed them. Thinking about a do over.

 (trying to get your d&d group together but everyone is a parent to a < 10 child)

"Everyone can make it but we can't start until 10pm"

...the things I'll do for some dungeon time smh 
 The good thing about being forced to listen to security training is a bit of time for hobby.

Hitchhiking ghosts base is coming along and looking like a real wall. When this round of clay dries it will be ready for primer.

 The mountain top diorama is starting to resemble nature more and styrofoam less. This is the first time I'm really playing with mixing spackle, water, sand and glue so hopefully everything stays put.

 Not a great picture, but I went to attach pube devil's wig and realized I needed to figure out the horns first or I would really be making life difficult for myself.

Quick wet blending and very pleased with the results. Wish I had a little more time to do the other right now and do refinements, but whatcha gonna do.

 Poking along at the hair/wig/pelt for our friend The Pube Devil (aka screaming god pinup), having fun playing with tones but think it's probably at a point where I just need to suck it up and glue it on the mini to get a sense of how it should proceed.

Every time I do a round of paint I step back and think "needs more contrast"

 First piece of meaningful work for the Halloween village attempt (other than printing various things) - if you're going to have an Old Mill, you need a skeleton with a cowboy hat (shout out Harold, iykyk)

Every time I sculpt at this scale I'm shocked at how much harder it is than I think it will be 😂
Need to develop a bit more patience with green stuff.
