Classic Warhammer Fantasy Miniatures: Grey Wizard

I recently finished painting up another old classic Warhammer Fantasy Battle miniature.  This time it's the Grey Wizard (073791/3) designed by Dave Andrews from back in the early 1990s.

The guy has been in my collection, half painted, since the early 2000s.  His sword was painted with a special green paint during an in-store painting class at the old Games and Gizmos Genesis store in Redmond.  The metal was shaved down and a green translucent paint was painted over the bare metal.  It gives it a metallic sheen.

Although a Grey Wizard, I went for a more bluish-grey color for his robes.  I had fun finishing him up with a classic 1990s-style base.

Blitz Bowl Season 2 Will Contain Wood Elf Team Cards

Back in February, Games Workshop announced "Blitz Bowl Season 2" at the New York Toy Fair. 

But only recently user "Stance_Aquadown" in The Crush! Blitz Bowl Podcast's Discord channel astutely discovered that a previously released photo confirms that Wood Elf Team cards will be included in the box.  This provides even more hope that Nurgle, Lizardmen, or other unreleased teams may show up when Season 2 releases. 

If past timing is any indication, Blitz Bowl Season 2 could be up for pre-order in only a few weeks.  The first Blitz Bowl was previewed at the New York Toy Fair on March 1, 2018 and was first available for purchase at Gen Con 2018 (in August of that year).  It became available for pre-order (from Barnes and Noble stores) in early August.  It later was released for purchase in early September 2018.
