Two teams enter. One man leaves.

This is going to be a micro-blog for two of my Blood Bowl teams in a new season of Blood Bowl at my wargaming club.  I have created a blog like this a couple of times before and it was good fun - even if no-one else reads it, it can act as a chart of the highs and lows as the team works their way through the season.  In a change from how the league was set out last year, we are now running two divisions; the Premier Division (for seasoned Blood Bowl coaches) and the Championship Division (for rookie coaches and pros using stunty teams).  I'm going to be using Undead in the Premier Division and Goblins in the Championship; Their team names are the Lords of Midnight and, of course, the Fouling Griffons (which is a play on words of my NAF name of Howlinggriffon). I chose to use Undead simply because I haven't used them in a league before and I only painted them recently for the NAF Championship.  I chose Goblins as I really do need to try a different stunty team from my beloved Halflings.  It will also give me motivation to paint my new Willy Miniatures team I bought at the end of last year.

The league I play in is called CBBBL (The Chelmsford Bunker Blood Bowl League). I am the league commissioner and I also run the website that hosts the software for the league (the OBBLM software which is just great).  The link to it is http://www.cbbbl.co.uk/ so you can see all the results on there.

After all the league games are played, the top four coaches in each division will go on to the play-offs to decide who the CBBBL VIII champion will be - and get their team name engraved on the league plaque.  The league starts on 3rd September 2015 so I've got a bit of time to get some practice games in before it all kicks off.  I can play around with the team lineups before this date too so I may change things around before then.

I have painted most of my Undead team although I do have some extra zombies and skeletons to paint as well as a few star players.  My Goblins are still being prepped for painting but I'll add pictures as soon as I get them done.
