Blood Bath Tournament - Bladud Give-away!
Hi Everyone,
I've been working with friend Hereward Feldwick to support the upcoming Blood Bowl tournament being held in our fair city of Bath. Blood Bath 2026 kicks off in September, and you can get all the info you need from the Talk Fantasy Football tournament page here: https://talkfantasyfootball.org/viewtopic.php?p=834902
Blood Bath is NAF approved, and forms part of the South West Tournament Series. So, don't hang about, get signed up!
As an added incentive to come and join us for much mayhem and fun, we are going to be offering as part of the free swag on the day our take on a character from the founding history of Bath - King Bladud!
The story goes that Bladud was a Celtic Prince, but contracted Leprosy and so could not inherit his father's throne due to his disfigurement. He was cast out, and had to take a job as a swine herd to survive.
While watching his pigs one day he noticed that the scabby, infected ones were bathing in some nearby mud pools, and shortly thereafter their afflictions were cured. Bladud copied them, and hey presto he too was cured! He returned home, inherited his father's throne, and sited his new capital where the hot spring water had mad the healing mud that made it all possible - the modern site of the city of Bath.
The Bladud mini is being sculpted by the awesome Callie at Renegade Minis , and as mentioned before our Nurgle-esque Ogre sized dude and his Pig will be free to all attendees. Here's the concept art that Callie completed from Hereward's ideas and my rough sketches, which we hope you'll agree is v. cool! We'll be sharing more WIP pics as they become available. Sign up and make sure you get your bit of Blood Bath history too.
Cheers
Greg
