Not really _that_ old, but possibly a perfect time to put together a little compilation of all the blood bowl I got up to in 2010. I played a lot of blood bowl last year. I mean a lot....
Tournaments (Total of 35 games)
Canadian Open - Result: wooden spoon (aka last) 3 games
Challenge of Q'ermitt - Result: top 50 percentile (barely) 6 games
Golden Sweetbun - Result: not wooden spoon (barely) 6 games
Lakeside Cup - Result: not wooden spoon (barely) 6 games
Warpstone Cup - Result: middle of the pack (2 each; win, draw, loss) 6 games
Deathbowl - Result: 6th/16 (still averaging top 50 percentile) 4 games
Power of One - Result: 2nd (and most casualties) 4 games
Leagues (Total of 19 games)
NBBL (Season 1) - Result: unknown (commish had RL get in the way) 8 games
NBBL (Season 2) - Result: 2nd (2 less games than 1st) 4 games
XTBBF - Result: 2nd (Lost the Spike! final - was still standings leader) 7 games in 2010 (ongoing)
So that's a staggering fifty-four competitive games played in 2010 (with more casual - ie. non-league or tournament games also played). I doubt I broke 60 games total but I figure I averaged at least a game every 20 days last year. Not counting any Cyanide BB Legendary Edition games either.
Last year I bounced around from team to team a lot. This year I plan to play only Undead at tournaments, and other teams will be relegated to league play only. I plan to get one new team painted up this year, as it's fairly multi-purpose easily used as amazons, humans, norse, pro elves, and ever wood elves. I hope to debut this team at the Deathbowl this year.

Old Stuff Day pt2: GWpertinent Forces!

Part 2 of my old stuff day posts is a bit of a cop-out. Technically these posts are my "oldest" because way before blogger offered the option to create actual "pages", I wanted to use the blog to track everything about my armies, gangs, teams and warbands. I found a little hack where I limit everyone from seeing any posts prior to 2008 so they wouldn't show up in my archive list and I then set about creating "post-pages" for the various forces I have as of January 1st 2007. Not all forces have a "post-page" created for them yet, but eventually they all will. I've also included a "current state" percentage towards being painted/based - broken out by colour coding to describe who's done the painting (green; all me, yellow; some of my stuff came partially painted from my brother, or I received assistance in building/painting, or red; for some of the forces which I commissioned out)
Within these "post-pages" I try to incorporate as much varied info as I can. Everything from why I started collecting them, the background and history to the force (including any fluff I have developed/written up), game records (ie. win/draw/loss), awards won, composition & development notes, pictures, etc.
I guess these are my posts that I think receive less traffic than they deserve. There's lots of cool info in there, but they rarely get any comments. Any suggestions you may have to get people to visit them more often, please let me know. Maybe it's the face it's not obvious they are links? I recently did a large update to my Novamarines page, and two of my blood bowl teams (orcs and undead) are similarly fully fledged. My Spyrers page definitely needs an update since it only has half the gang in the photos, while I should really get my act together and get some games in with my Pit Slaves since their page is looking rather bare.
Well I hope this prompts you to take a look at any of my force pages that interest you. Please feel free to comment as I'm always looking for feedback.

Old Stuff Day pt1: First (and so far only) GWpertinent contest...
This somewhat falls into line with Old Stuff Day and Rob from Warhammer 39,999 thoughts on dredgeing up old posts which didn't receive much traffic. This was probably one of my most popular posts, but since it was about finding your oldest mini's, I believe it is a suitable topic to re-post today.
Here's the link to the original contest post. It included the rules (very simple) to participate and I updated it with links to all the other awesome bloggers who participated. It was a random contest allowing everyone to easily participate and I think that was a major reason for it's popularity. Be sure to check out all the old school mini's that ended up being sent in as entries in the contest results post.
I remember how much fun this contest was, I think it's been long enough that I should bring it back - what do you think?
