Finished Top 8 at the last UK PQ, played Fai. @howlingmines.com managed to successfully navigate HeadJabFest2025 in our quarterfinal, in one of the best games of Flesh and Blood I've played in ages 🔥, absolute banger. Next stop: Road to Nationals and the World Premiere.

Oooh, new Gnome Treemen just dropped.

You only have to struggle at opening another game's packs to realise just how incredible the paper FAB packs are.

I feel like people just like to be upset online. Complaining about $2000 CC decks is one thing but now $20 silver age decks that come with a bonus pack are too expensive? Come. on. Cards still cost money to print not to mention packaging, shipping, dev time and marketing.

FAB draft set realness updates came in recently: I) Need to source Toughness and Confidence, but the young heroes from Super Slam are sorted. II) Scurv sorted for SEAs limited (no idea how to sort Sticky Fingers 😬) III) Valda for Crack, Shuffle, Play MPG 💪🏻 IV) Forcing Bravo next Alpha draft 💪🏻

I already have tickets for a coffee festival this weekend, but I'm about to add a PQ ticket to my basket instead even though I have no idea what deck to play 😅

Decided that my "Snotling" team could double up as Gnomes, so it's time to venture fully into Grandfather's garden. Behold - Gnome Beastmaster #1. "Gnome" Nurgling from Mortarion, "badger" from Gellerpox Infected.

Bretonnian Blood Bowl team almost there. One more good boy Knight Catcher using the Offal Hound, probably a coach as well, then done.

3-0'd my pre-release for Super Slam on Tuffnut yesterday. Favourite win? Pitch stacking Tough Smashup for third cycle against Lyath, before pitching to Helm of Hindsight for Unexpected Backhand on his final attack for 10, winning the clash and pinging for fatal.

Dear @fabtcg.com folks at LSS: Whilst I still wait in patient adoration for a Ponder playmat, a diptych playmat of these War and Peace tokens is now something I have a severe longing for 🗡️🕊️ Please let me know how we can make this a reality 🥺

Every miniature is a *checks notes* Bretonnian Blood Bowl miniature

Every miniature is a Blood Bowl miniature.

All set and ready to rumble for Crack, Shuffle, Play Skirmish season!

Last night in Paris 🎈 Great end to the vacation.

Qualified but not available for UK Nats this year. Would probably have played Cindra or Slippy as a vibe check against the Tipple nonsense. Hope everyone has a great time in Wakefield, and of course routing for my boys to smash it.

Ay' up...

Mission accomplished 🫡 Retiring from Welcome to Rathe Alpha Draft as a 3-0 champ (unless I accidentally end up in Auckland). An amazing weekend capped off with a fabulous memory. #FABlondon

The S&J classic - mains and desserts in different joints! 🍜 - Kêu deli 🍮🍸 - Padella #fablondon

Play the game, eat the world @ Agora, Borough Market #fablondon

Getting ready to spend three days in a convention center, without access to a supermarket.

I've made a plan for World Tour London - qualify to draft Welcome to Rathe Alpha on the Sunday. It's the only set I haven't drafted, and as soon as it was announced I knew that's what I had to spend my time aiming for. Thank you @fabtcg.com and James White for bringing it to London!

Getting closer to full 32mm Inquisitor realness 🥺

Hasta la Vis'ta, baby. Last Chant Saloon. ABC: Always Be Chanting.

Top 4'd on Vis 💜 Scooped my boy Oli on Aurora into the finals as he was king of swiss, and I didn't fancy going second in the Vis mirror (which was the other semi) if I did happen to win. Congratulations to @sebward.bsky.social for taking it all down and getting the LL points onto Big Purple.

New pre-tournament ritual just dropped (can you guess which hero I'm playing at the RtN today 👀💜) Shout out to Glosters in Porthmadog for selling me a mug four years ago that is perfect for Aeropress use today

My new notebook for tracking games has arrived just in time for Vis' last chant saloon at RtNs this weekend. Love Traveler's Company stuff, and the passport size is absolutely perfect for tabletop use.

I may not have accomplished as much as I wanted to this season with just one top 8 out of two events, but watching the lads nearly all qualify in two weeks, including two outright wins, has been an absolute delight. Fingers crossed for Sheffield next week that I remember how to effectively play CC.

Need some help #fabtcg community: Where is this playmat from? I'm a huge Mark Poole fan and this is simply stunning. Suspect it might be prize wall, but totally unsure. (And I've given up on there ever being a Ponder playmat with Henrique Lindner's art)

Two RtNs this weekend, mixed bag: 1) CC yesterday, played 🕷️ Mario, 1-4: (w R1 mirror, l r2 Zen, l R3 Vynn, L R4 CYB enigma, l R5 Dio). Teammate on the same 80 came second 💪🏻, losing to @hamsack.bsky.social 2) Draft today 2-1 Pod 1 - (🕷️: W Fang, L Cindra, W Cindra) Top 8 pod 🕷️ - L Cindra 1/2

Day One Draft holler holler

OpenAI right now

Cute as a button.

All light illusionist players are *definitely* normal about it.

Five Pratchett's and a Slater from Oxfam today 🥺

MENSWEAR GUY: Furthermore, you’ve neglected to even cut the vents of the shockingly poor-fitting sport coat you’ve, for some reason, chosen to wear to breakfast MAN WHO STILL WEARS A THREADLESS TEE FROM 2003 WITH TWO ANTHROPOMORPHIC HOUSES HUGGING UNDER THE TEXT “HOMIES”: haha get his ass derek

New food tonight: chicken in a mustard sauce from Jay Rayner's Nights Out At Home (for which he was inspired by rabbit in mustard sauce from Bouchon Racine), served alongside Yotam Ottolenghi's french beans and mange tout with hazelnuts and orange. Tough Mary's country sourdough to serve.

A couple of days later than usual as we were away, but the advent calendar is now populated. Actually has 24 unique flavours in it this year as the Lindt store in Vienna is apparently a Wonka subsidiary.

We went to a medieval Christmas market in Vienna tonight, and caught a fab fire show to close it out. Flaming scythe is flaming.

Meet Gu'ylian - one of the Goblin Bruiser Linemen I'll be taking into the Blood Bowl league at work in the new year. The apostrophe makes it feel suitably Eltharin whilst remaining suitably tongue in cheek.

She's my favourite exarch and it's not even remotely close.

Just the Armoured Troll and Coach to go, and the Lothern Leviathans will be ready to take to the pitch 🐙

It is 23:36. I have not used a filter. It's just apparently this nebulous.

Five Goblin Bruiser Linemen coming right up

Golden

Varclav is still one of my absolute fave minis. Still need to find another copy to convert for Blood Bowl.

Easiest way to prove this is really me - quick snap from lunch at Kushi-ya today. Miso mushrooms topping a curry sauced rice is S Tier.
