Finally, the promised photos of the previous Blood Bowl game of Ogres vs Lizardmen:
This past Saturday’s game was supposed to be against the Vampires, but there were a no-show. My team sure could use the Vampire forfeit: I need to replace an expensive ogre and the spiralling expenses of a second season team are a serious drain on the team’s treasury. :-(
The Ogre team experienced their first loss this season last Saturday when they went up against the veteran Lizardmen team. The 0-3 score belies how close the game actually was.
Photos of the Ogres playing against the well-painted Lizardmen will follow soon.
The Ogres remain undefeated as they earn their fourth victory this season. This time, the wretched Chaos Dwarves taste the bitter gall of defeat. Victory, however, came at a price as one of the Ogres was killed during the game. It’s going to be difficult saving up enough gold to buy a replacement with the team’s spiraling expenses.
The Ogres’ first loss is predicted for next week when they play against the seasoned Lizardmen team. Fast teams have always been a weakness for the Ogres, and with one of the Ogres’ major players out of the game permanently, things are not looking good.
Another victory for the Ogres! This time I paid for it. I played against the Chaos team, who injured one of my Ogres — my one ST 6 Ogre now has a MV of only 4. Ugh. And this in the first action of the first turn of the game! And my team’s apothecary rolled the exact same result on his healing check! Grrr…
However, revenge came swiftly for the Ogres. Before the first half was over the Ogres had killed three Chaos players! Three! Two of the deaths were prevented by the Chaos apothecaries, but it was still pretty amazing to have so many kills in a game. Even one kill in a game is rare.
Here are a couple of photos from the game. Unfortunately, most of the Chaos players are unpainted, and my Snotlings are still only half-done:
I’ve brought my Ogre team back out of semi-retirement and am playing them in the second season of my buddy’s new BloodBowl league. My first game was against the humans, and the Ogres crushed them with a 2-0 final score.
Since my returning team was playing against a newly formed team, my opponents received over a million gold pieces worth of inducements, which made things a little more challenging for me. However, an early game touchback and some lucky die rolls saw me to victory.
Sadly, one of my snotlings was killed during the game — the first kill of the season.
