With full orange war paint, the little fellas swarmed out onto the pitch and did Coach Itchen proud. For a bit. Sweeping aside another team of Goblins and then fighting to …
Following on from his glorious victory at Merseybowl 2013, Sizzler deigned to give the rest of us mere mortals a taste of his genius, sharing his thoughts on TFF about the weekend, in his own inimitable fashion. Without further ado, Sizzler presents… The Idiot’s Guide to Winning a Blood Bowl Tournament Winning isn’t for everybody, …
Firstly, I need to apologise to 160+ Blood Bowl enthusiasts, many of whom had flown in from overseas to attend the NAF, and ended up spending the weekend with the “toxic miasma” of my Infestation Nation team.

With a skip in my step I left my (lovely) children behind on Friday afternoon and headed to Nottingham, with the traffic changing a two hour journey into a three hour one, wasn’t bothered …
For the NAF Championships 2014, I offered to put a bulk order in for NAF mugs, expecting to do about 20. As it turned out, over half the attendees wanted one, so I ended up doing 80! There was also a lot of interest from non-attendees, so here is how to make them. The basic …

With Dungeonbowl XI moving away from GW headquarters in Germany for the first time, and being run by Garthnait after Sascha’s excellent stewardship, it’s a good time to look back over ten years of the European Major. Traveller’s website is a fantastic resource for photos as he has been to 8 of the 10, and …
