About a year ago I walked into a game store in my new old town and saw a Blood Bowl Second Edition box on the shelf. During the Pandemic my friends and I ran frequent Blood Bowl leagues using the computer version (see my discord bot for managing leagues), but I had never played the physical game.
In fact, I had never painted a mini before and thought that was a huge barrier to entry. I assumed I was going to be terrible at it and that kept me from trying any miniature games. But here I was in a new apartment and this city actually had other people that played Blood Bowl! So I picked up the box, not knowing what I was getting into.
A guy at the store (who unfortunately moved away the next week to be closer to family. Same reason I moved, can’t blame him.) got me started by telling me to lookup the slapchop technique and showing me some pictures of his orange and navy Tyranids. I fully admit that my Tyranid color scheme is a copy of his. I love the orange and blue combo and it looks incredible on Tyranids.
