#bloodbowl news about the 2026 #NAFC
#bloodbowl in Glasgow today - it's Scottish Team Tournament day.
The ELO stats say we should be placing around 5th - which I think would be a decent weekend's work.
I've got the Dark Elves again - an identical roster to #nafc - and that went OK I guess...
Our Medical Ministry earned a 2025 Gold Rating from the National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics (NAFC) Quality Standards Program. This recognition affirms the heart of our Medical Ministry: to serve our neighbors with excellence, dignity, and hope.

A bunch of elves about the (try and) curb stomp a fox and his gnome mates in Blood Bowl
7s is the best #BloodBowl! Went 1-2-1 with Wood Elves at Bugman’s today - much more chilled out than the #NAFC last weekend
Catching up on life after the #bloodbowl #nafc (followed by a busy bank holiday!)
Took gnomes.
3-2-1 was my best ever NAFC, first time I've ever won more than 2 games!
Finished 67th overall, from 290-odd. Very pleased with that!
4th best stunty team
11th most casualties
13th most touchdowns
Great to see people this weekend at #NAFC #Bloodbowl tourney.
Despite my worst performance in many many years I had 6 fun games.
Thanks to all offering support as well, it's noticed 😍
BB_jock about to present the triple crown BB trophy to Andy Davo as referees look on.
Final results. Stripeydave is highlighted in 29th place.
So #nafc is done for 2025. I finished on 3-3-0, which is a stellar result for me.
Played some cool people and had some great banter with the Scottish contingent.
Many, many thanks to the organisers, refs, etc - including @wormito.bsky.social - for an awesome event.
3rd Dark Elf mirror match of the day.
Final game of the day. ANOTHER Dark Elf mirror at #nafc. The #bloodbowl gods smile on me: 1-0 win.
I stalled his drive after he took on a vanity surf and skulled twice.
My drive: I was up players and dragged the ball up the pitch - even surviving a 1D wrestle cage dive. Stopped the reply for 1-0.
Round 5 of #NAFC vs Grumpyboyle's orcs. A tricky first half where I managed to sack the ball but couldn't recover. He then killed my witch elf, got the ball back and scored later on. Managed to drive down to equalise on T16 and his TTM attempt failed. 1-1 and 2-2-1 for the day now. #bloodbowl
Dark elf mirror match
At the half 1-1.
With a late couple of casualties I'm ahead. 2 blodge blitzers and a lino plus 1 lino KO vs my blitzer lino down.

Day 2 of #nafc brings the promise of more #bloodbowl action.
I just need 1 more win (or 2 draws) to fulfil my aim of 50% for the tournament. No losses would be a great result, too.
Let's see how today goes.
Empty NFC pitch.
#nafc game 3 vs some dirty rats.
Got a Blitz turn 1 and upset the opponent's whole plan. Managed to stall it out for 1-0 HT lead.
Lost a few guys in 2nd half, so couldn't break through. Got a bit hairy, but held out for 1-0.
No pic of this (end of day brain), so here's the empty pitch instead.
Dark Elves vs Khorne round 2 at NAFC
Tough game vs Khorne in #nafc round 2.
I stalled his drive with a 1D pow without losing too many guys.
My drive: went up and scored in turn 7. But Khorne bestows some outrageous agility upon his #bloodbowl minions and an elf-like passing/handoff/dodge/gfi combo ties the score 1-1 at the death.
Game 2 was against MrBattenberg and his union.
He kicked deep and I did not do enough to protect the ball. Luckily I survived the surge of elves and scuttled off to safety.
After that the game ran on standard 2-1 grind rails and I was happy to get the win.
#BloodBowl #NAFC
Game 1 at the #NAFC and I got BigDan his dwarfs.
We battered each other but he had the edge and I couldn't score but he was able to stumble over the line on turn 16.
Great fun game, even though it was the short bearded ones.
#BloodBowl
#NAFC round 2 well underway
Game 1 of the #NAFC weekend started with a game against Lizards which unfortunately ended in a 2-1 loss. Many failed dodges and a failed rush by Akhorne the squirrel meant we didn't quite get the draw
Amazon vs Dark Elves
#bloodbowl #nafc
Dark Elves vs Amazons
An inopportune double skulls let the Amazons in for a score on their drive, but Elf BS ties the score at 1-1 on the half.
#BloodBowl #NAFC Let's goooo!
An impromptu painting station with kitchen roll, white paint and a single Dark Elf blitzer with a white arm.
Finally got to Nottingham for #bloodbowl #nafc
But before I turn in, I've got the small matter of a silver arm to deal with...
What I may do is borrow an arm from a lineman as I have plenty of those.
Won't be in place for #nafc though.
#NAFC #bloodbowl tomorrow.
Myself and Bb_nut are driving up in the morning. We will be tired 🥱🥱
We decided to do a challenge and we are using the exact same Norse team, to see who is the better coach (it's him).
Thatch-Ra and co. Are ready for the #NAFC
Not so sure about me though.
#BloodBowl
That's me done with work for the day. #nafc starts now.
So: do I have everything I need? Let's find out...
