Why I haven’t got any painting done this week

July 14, 2009

I haven’t put any paint on the Dire Troll Blitzer in days. I got my hands on the new Celestial Edition L5R stuff last week, haven’t even started looking at the Mantis stuff. Heck, aside from prepping this week’s King of the Mountain posts, I haven’t managed to complete anything I’d hoped to accomplish…

… all because of a little release for the PC…

One of the reasons I’m so hyped for Grind is that I was a big fan of Blood Bowl back in the day. It seems my old favourite board game’s available on the PC now, so the timesink has begun.

My only disappointment is that all the teams aren’t represented, though apparently the code’s already in there for the absent Dark Elves and Undead, so it’s just a matter of them releasing an expansion. Then we just need Norse, Amazons, Vampires, Chaos Dwarves and Halflings and we’ll be in good stead :)

I’m willing to live with clunky menus and poor load times for a good translation of my favourite board game (to be dethroned by Grind later this year, but for now…)

Until then, the formation of an online league for players at my FLGS is looking to further interfere with any painting I may have planned… though first I have to decide what team to play, since apparently I’m not allowed to play my beloved Bifrost Guardians… :)
