FIGHTING HELLFISH | ARCHIVE

Happy Holidays, Fighting Hellfish!

Last month, the Fighting Hellfish held Blood Bowl Premiership 2006. Only two teams earned the chance to play in this coveted final game. It was Rick with his Necromancer Team, the Ghouly Boys, versus Sean with his Ork Team, the Bad Moon Bears.

It was hard-fought grid-iron action. And in the end, Sean S. came away with the Premiership titlle. Congratulations, Sean. I think your Bad Moon Bears finally deserve to get some more paint slapped on them.

This past weekend was Tanksgiving 3. Sure, Tanksgiving came late. But Christmas came early, as the Fighting Hellfish, with prizes courtesy of Games Workshop, handed out some white metal booty to the lucky winners.

Way to go, Chip for being King of the Tanskgiving Hill. Chip snatched away the title from two-time winner, Andrew—who was too scared to even make a showing. Chip also had to beat out his own son, Daniel; David's 7 year-old son, Jonathan; and Kevin's Baneblade to win it all. Sounds like we have an aspiring Clubber in the house.

With 2006 winding down, we're looking ahead to 2007. If you have any ideas, throw us a line, or stop by on Thursday.

This just in. The Fighting Hellfish Blood Bowl Premier League playoffs is moving to Thursdays. There are four teams left fighting for the Premiership. See the action this Thursday.

But Thursdays are so much more. If you prefer, ignore those funny figures on the Blood Bowl pitch and get your own game on. Bring some dice, a pile of pewter and your general's hat. There's always someone looking for something to do on Thursdays.

Due to technical difficulties, we have not been able to update for awhile. But with a little pixie dust and lots of duct tape, we're now back in full effect.

After an exciting rock 'em , sock 'em complete 8-week season, our second Blood Bowl league is starting playoffs this week. Who will come up with the coveted Premiership Cup is anyone's guess. Come on by this Tuesday to check out the single-elmination games.

We're also talking about the next big thing for the Fighting Hellfish. Will it be Warmachine? Warhammer 40,000? Chime in at the Discussion Boards.

Our traditional Thursday nights continue with not so traditional faire. Everything from Hordes to Warhammer 40,000 to Warmachine to Car Wars to Hour of Glory to who knows what.

There's always plenty to do on Thursdays, so Tivo the 28th season of E.R. and take a stroll to Matchplay in lovely Mountain View, California.

Last night, we had our third Warmachine tournament, Steamroller 3. With the new Privateer Press Steamroller 2.1 rules in hand, we played three 60 minute rounds.

It came down to Bryan C. and Catfish for the final match. And in the end, the slippery fish came out with another best overall coin--his second Fighting Hellfish Steamroller coin in a row.

Congratulations to Jeff K.

We have some Blood Bowl action coming up. Get your teams ready. Kick off is next Saturday:

First off, there's Steamroller 3 on Thu, 10 August.

That's followed closely by our second season of Blood Bowl. It's the Fighting Hellfish Premier League 2006.

There'll be a bash 'em , smash 'em preseason Blood Bowl tournament on Saturday, 19 August. It's the perfect time to test out your team and make your adjustments.

Other events to mark in your calendar:

Open Gaming: Warmachine
Open Gaming: Hordes

Open gaming continues with Warmachine vs. Warmachine, Hordes vs. Hordes, and yes even, Warmachine vs. Hordes. So bring your Warlords, Warlocks, Warjacks, Warbeast, and warmongering ways.

There's also Games Workshop Warhammer 40,000. Players are test driving their way through the new Cities of Death rules. So far the reviews have been spectacular.

Hordes is here folks!

The launch event was a smashing success. 18 battle hardened opponents slugged it out for 6 hours of dice rolling madness.

And to top it all off we had a baby seal that never even heard the word Hordes before April 22nd claim the highly sought after #1 spot.

Congratulations to Donovan. He is the proud owner of the first Hordes Champion Coin issued by the Fighting Hellfish.

On another note, stay tuned for info on our next event, Steamroller II, a 500 point WARMACHINE tournament.

The Fighting Hellfish website is 3 years old. Sure, the club has been around for much longer, but it's been three orbits around the sun since we entered the online world.

Just a short time ago, this website was a scant little thing with a handful of pages. Well, now there are over 100 pages and it's still growing.

So put on a party hat, take a swig and sing Happy Birthday to the Fighting Hellfish.

Happy V-Day, Fighting Hellfish.

Our website is undergoing a minor transformation. The Players section is revamped, changed up and spruced up.

Let's try to make the Players section more useful for new players and for people looking for a suitable opponent.

If you have any suggestions or if you see any mistakes or if want to add anything, let Pat know.

Also, we were supposed to have started an Old West Campaign last month, but we're going to put that on hold, until enough players hoot and holler for it.
