A top third result was completely unexpected as I’d only played 12 games of Blood Bowl before the event. I also finished 14th out 46 with 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses (plus a few bonus points along the way). I managed to win Best Custom Pitch, Best Painted Team and Best Support staff. Here are a few phots from games at Sandgroper Cup 6. She is the head of security for the stadium (usually means keeping fans out of the beer cellar) whilst the wolf takes his job very seriously. I threw in a little toilet humour for a laugh. Here’s the top and bottom of the dice tower. As you can see, the Vikings have a VERY good wizard on staff and he’s managed to conjure up a beer filled Bacta-tank and a medical droid! The visiting teams dugout with all the latest in medical gear… As you can see, the Nevasober Vikings don’t get may visiting supporters anymore □ The visitors graveyard was my wife’s idea. I used Glass Coat resin to make the sea and then used Woodland Scenics Water Effects to make the waves/ripples/splashes etc. Right, the Sandgroper Cup has been run and won (by my good mate Duro) so here are the photos of the finished board. I’ll add photos of the finished board after the Sandgroper Cup. We’ve finished the stadium (thanks to my amazing wife) but as the Sandgroper Cup tournament is on this weekend, I’ll only add a few teaser photos for now. The longboat (named Aenur) is getting closer to completion. More Blood Bowl fans awaiting paint (20 are already finished). In these next couple of photos, I’m checking the lay-out of the various boards (still have more boards to add).īack to painting/detailing the home stand. Here are some WIP photos of the home team supporters stand. Photo showing the snow that’s been brushed off the pitch. A few tufts of grass were fixed in place with PVA glue and the white lines were painted using GW Skull White.īit more detail added to the pitch and one of the dugout and turn/re-roll/bouncing ball direction template made (still needs labels/numbers to be added). Then small splatters of blood were made using Tamiya Clear Red acrylic with a tiny dash of GW Chaos Black added to darken it. A few areas of the tiles were washed with Woodland Scenics Green Undercoat. The sand between the blocks was then washed with Woodland Scenics Burnt Umber. Once dry, I applied several coats of slightly diluted Woodland Scenics Stone Gray. Several coats of White primer were sprayed on it. With the boat built, I turned back to the pitch. There will also be a dragon’s head bursting through the water next to the boat. ![]() It will comprise of a Viking Longboat set in resin to represent the ocean. This will sit next to the pitch once finished but can also be removed as a seperate display for the team. Whilst I was waiting for all the glue to dry, I set about building the team display board. I filled the gaps between the tiles with PVA glue and sprinkled fine sand on. The Hirst Arts blocks are glued to the MDF with PVA glue. The pitch is exactly the same size as a standard Blood Bowl pitch. I cut the MDF into 3 sections to make it easier to store. The base is 3mm MDF with a 10mm timber frame underneath to keep it flat and give it strength. I spent a weekend casting up over 400 Hirst Arts blocks to make the pitch, the dugouts and the turn/re-roll trackers. I’ve been collecting the parts for this stadium for the last 6 months. This will be a fairly simple pictorial/write-up of the build process. I have no illusions to being able to be overly successful at the event but there is an award for the best custom made pitch so I’m hoping to have a go at that. Sandgroper Cup is a very successful, 2 day Blood Bowl tournament held in here Perth, Western Australia. After finally getting my Blood Bowl team together (the Nevasober Vikings) and playing in the Rock’n’Rumble league, I decided to have some fun and build a custom stadium for the Sandgroper Cup.
