Shock Announcement: Odinn's Champs to Return!!!

In a surprise announcement Coach Right Stuff has announced that Norse Blood Bowl team Odinn's Champions will return to the ACTBBL for a second season.
'Our rookie season was a bit rough and we took a few casualties which really hampered our success.  Our 2W-1D-4L record wasn't great but we pulled off a great win against the odds at the end of the season to beat the league leaders, which shows just what this team can do' he said.

Finishing up 6th out of 8 teams in the Rookie division, Odinn's Champions have now been offered a place in the Minors Division for the upcoming Season.  This year the winner of the Minors League will receive a glittering contract with Empire Records, who will produce a new team song (allows the coach to reroll Cheering Fans results on the kick-off table).

'Its going to be tough and the other teams have more experience, but that means I'll get more Wizards and inducements,' Coach Right Stuff said. 'We also have talent scouts out looking at a few promising Norse Werewolves and as soon as we can secure some promotional deals we'll be making some contract offers.'

On the subject of sponsorship Coach Right Stuff was unwilling to comment on the rumours of a partnership between the Champions and well known beverage manufacturers Krunchy Kremes.  'Nothing is off the table at this stage, but pre season training has the majority of my focus' he said.

The draw of the new season is expected to be announced within a fortnight.  Go Champions!

A few Miscellaneous purchases

Finally managed to get home for the weekend (first time in almost two months) and found all the goodies I ordered before I went away.  These included (in no particular order):

'The Abberation', by Vesper On games
Just loved this mini- great for both Cthulhu/Pulp/Horror games, and also for use as a Beast of Nurgle in Blood Bowl (he is about the size of a Troll fig, maybe a touch larger but not too much).  See what I did there?  Convincing yourself that it two uses = bargain = justified :-)

Axis Gorilla Squad aka "Blutkreuz Korps Kampfaffen Squad" - giant mutated monkeys.  'Nuff said.  Clearly everybody needs some of these! (Note to self: repaint them using the great tips by ferret Labs here)

Cloning Tanks, by WestWind Productions.  Look at the picture - no reasoning required!

Deathwing card expansion by FFG - I love this game as its easily played solo and deosnt take up much space. I've been looking forward to this one for a little while and now have all four expansions.
