I'm not going to procrastinate this time. Dog Bowl IV will be taking place at Marmalade Dog Gaming Convention on Saturday March 19, 2016. I've started the planning process already. This year I'll be more prepared. Because this is a free tournament (players just pay the entrance fee to the con), there is a budget of zero dollars available. This means the money for the tourney comes out of the tournament directors' pockets. To helps us save money we build much of our awards.
I'm building a couple 3D dugouts that will be used as prizes for this year. The other TO built one already (it looks great) and between that and the ones I make, its a good, inexpensive start. Plus this way our awards are one of a kind and will be something different for the players. I'm going to keep a log of my building them here.
I'll post more tournament info here as well as on The Spiked Ball and the Zlurpee Bowl Forums.

Story Time - Dwarfs of Anarchy
The Dwarfs of Anarchy Motorcycle Club (DoA)
History - The club was formed in -1967 by Grimnir Turnisson and Piney Wingorstin, following their return from serving under King Gotrekin the War of Vengeance. The first charter was called "Rocks of the Old World", simply because they weren't settled in any one place. They cruised the World Edge Mountains as vagabonds. It wasn't until after Gemma Turnisson, Grimnir's wife, became pregnant with her first son, Jackson, that they decided to settle in Alarming, the town where Gemma grew up. At that point, Grimnir Turnisson thought Alarming was a little too cute for a charter name, so he kept the charter the Rocks of the Old World. That's when the DAMCROW handle was born. The first chapter was founded in Alarming and originally had only nine members, the other seven being Quartz Grazer, Thornas "Uncle Tom" Whitloc, Chico Villain, Lenknee "The Pimp" Janitor, Clay Marrow, Keil McGheer and Otto "L'il Killer" Morax. Six of these were war veterans. Turnisson was the President up until his death in -1941, when Clay Marrow took over. The club was originally formed as a form of social rebellion for dwarfs who simply wanted freedom and no longer wished to live by society's rules. They also tried to protect the dwarfs (and gold) of Alarming from outside gangs and warpstone dealers, rather than exploit them.
In -1891, the Skaven attempted to expand their warpstone operations into Zhufbar, leading to a bloody war with DAMCROW, who retaliated by defending the territory under their control. This war ran until -1889, when the Skaven finally backed down after taking heavy casualties
DAMCROW rules the town of Alarming with an iron fist. They protect the village from outside influences, but also use violence to keep things the way they like it.
Activities – Any organization needs gold to survive, the DoA are no exception. To keep up with their rebel lifestyle and to keep the brew flowing they decided to be weapon runners. They use their exceptional weapon making abilities to keep the Orcs of the East Bay area well armed and DAMCROW’s coffers full.
They also have a mutually beneficial arrangement with the hobgoblins of the East Gate helping them with guerrilla attacks against their chaos dwarf oppressors.
Alarming’s central location makes it a target of other gangs. The Norse try to get their racist agenda across and the Skaven want to get their warpstone closer to Brettonia and Norsca.

Hello
Until about 5 years ago I never played any table-top games and I only started as a way to hangout with friends more often. The game my friends were playing was Blood Bowl and I had a blast with it. To this day it is my only game (Dreadball from Mantic may be added shortly). About a year and a half ago I decided to try my hand at painting miniatures. I was given the Warhammer starter painting set with the night gobos and I went from there.
The first team I painted was the 3rd ed. Dark Elf team from Citadel. I painted them with black, red, white and blue. And they were terrible but that got me started. My second team was the Pharaohs of Vihktora from Impact! Miniatures and my third team was the Frog-men from Gaspez Arts. Thankfully all these teams have been stripped but they started a new hobby for me.
This is going to be a blog to show my progress from team four on. I've read tons of blogs, watched tons of tutorials, and picked the brains of folks I know that are much better and much more experienced than me. So let's see where this goes!
