Atlantic Coast Charity Cup: Capturing the Spirit!

Well, just got back from the ACCC hosted by Nate Beam, and the Knights of Columbus in Norfolk, VA.  Many of the participants in attendance have become friends over the last few years while rolling the dice on the Blood Bowl Pitch.  This year the even raised $2,500 dollars with the proceeds going to the Wounded Warrior Project!  Very worthwhile venue!

I attended with young-blood Ryan, and former Marine Paul, as well as former soldier Jacob.  We got up at 0'Dark-thirty on Saturday morning to drive up, and play three games.  I finished 2-1-0 and had a great time! Everyone that I spoke with was in high spirits (yes, pun intended!) and having a good time!  I don't know why Blood Bowl attracts such awesome peeps... but if you don't play, you really should start!

Here are a few pics from the Mayhem had at the event:

My Orc team, the Bittersand Swamp Gators lining up to face off against Bob's Norse! (Yes, I drew two Norse players this tournament!)

Mike's Snow troll and Ulfwerner laying out two of my Orc Blitzers! Unfortunately for me... this was too frequent of a scene for my poor Orcs!

Mike's Snow troll ended up red-boxing eight of my players in my first match-up! He went on to take the "Most Violent" trophy for his ol'pal Dave "Doombeard" Dwarf-master... and somehow I managed a tie this game! ::Sheesh!::

Roy sharing war stories while several coaches finish up round two of their matches!

Jacob, Paul, and Ryan look on while Bob "The Barbarian" of Norsca strolls by while the lead tables wrap-up their matches!

 

Roy Miller's fantastic looking goblin team with the gobbos sculpted as Jawas from the epic film Star Wars, and the Trolls are sculpted as some kinda funky droid these little nippers probably sold on their goofy looking merchant barges!

HardWood Ware!

I haven't been able to post since last Thursday (...and for good reason!), as I was knee-deep in preparation for the 2nd Annual SPR Bacon Wrapped Blood Bowl Tournament!  I had some miniatures to finish painting, rosters to prepare, along with trip plans, etc.  These events are always great fun, and because it was a NAF sanctioned tournament, I was even more excited than usual!  (I will post pics of the event later)  There were about thirty coaches there, many of whom I have gotten to know over the past couple of years, and really enjoy just the interaction and camaraderie associated with these types of events!

My purpose in posting today is that I did bring back some hardware from the event!

*Ta-da!*

The trophy for the "Best Painted" award was given this smartly painted wood elf team of mine, which put on quite a show at the tournament! (See the little trophy! Yay!!!)

Thanks to FTW Games for hosting the event! Big thanks to Jeremiah and Mike of the Stony Point Refugee Blood Bowl League for managing the event! And also thanks to the Endless Gaming Blood Bowl League for their support continued support! Thanks to all of you who support my blog, and painting!
