Here are some close-ups of the team psyching themselves up before going onto the pitch.

It's really just a very simple pitch with dugouts at each end. It has fallen into a state of disrepair in recent years so it is looking quite shoddy. However I will take a pic of it when I can. Don't expect much though. lol

My favourite 'fling is the one with the aviator glasses and the scarf - one of Morley's good moments.
Very effective paint job btw, bold yet simple.
And a "well done" to the home-made treeman - looks a bit bigger than his colleague, but then, trees is trees, they aren't all the same height.
Is the head coach an Iron Claw dwarf priest? Jealous...

A few minutes later and a game of Blood Bowl has broken out...


As you can see the "stadium" is not up to much. I had plans of making it a lot more impressive. The Subutteo fences and advertising boards that used to ring the pitch have disappeared (easy enough to replace I guess) and the vendor stands, out buildings etc around the grandstand never quite got built...


Still, the ref asks for a clean and friendly game. Shortly before the fans rip him apart and substitute a ref with a more lenient attitude to violence.


And there's the kick-off!

That's actually a pretty great stadium! The only nit-picky thing I'd have to mention is that in places it's kinda hard to see the single spaces, maing it harder to calculate distances at a glance. It's still a lot nicer than anything I could ever do.
Do I spy some Shadowforge girlies on the pitch?

Yeah those are the Shadowforge Dark Elves. I have several of the Shadowforge teams, they are great

I may get the stadium repaired and back into action if I can get a group playing Blood Bowl over here again.

Very nice - I love the advertising boards.

Must do something with my Astro-granite pitch one day...

The astro granite pitch has one flaw; small squares. You won't be able to fit a big guy in a single square. Hell, even regular guys have problems fitting. Do yourself a favour, cast up a pitch in hirsty artsy bitsies.

Yeah, he should build an Aztec Bloodbowl Stadium, he can place it beside the temple!

A pitch made out of hirst-arts blockies would be terribly heavy, though. Impossible to move, a bugger to store.

Hmmm - that would only involve another 30 odd castings... Why the hell not!
