Nuns with balls

Hello everybody

Was just surfing through some manufacturers' websites and noticed that
Shadowforge miniatures of Australia have some new figures. These include a set
of nuns playing football which might go well with the GZG Nuns with Guns:

Ok, the page finished loading. Now I'm nostalgic for Bloodbowl.

It was an okay game. I remember playing someone who was doing a bunch of demo
games at a store. He took what he thought was a hot team. I had played it
perhaps twice. I ended up whipping him with a Dwarf team that formed a phalanx
around the ball carrier. It seemed pretty hard to beat.

I thought _Space Hulk_ was a better game, though both had flaws.

To pull this into something a little bit more on topic, I bought the Pig
Ticklers rules from GZG (originally from Eureka), and painted up the unicycle
lancers, ref, stokers, and steam pig. Our group had a good time with it. This
game represents a military sport in a Victorian steampunk universe. British
lancers on unicycles try to stick it to a steam driven pig, while avoiding
native "stokers" throwing hot coals!

I'm planning to tweak it, as I found the tables had too many "nothing really
happens" results. It's fun, though, and eminently tweakable. I'm trying to
figue out how to use Penny Farthing riders in the same game, as an
expansion...

Depends on which edition you're playing - IIRC there were at least
three, possibly four. Also IIRC it is in print again, now as a Fanatic title.
