Hello! And welcome to our festive edition of Miss Next Game!(Is it still Christmas? Just about. I'm still eating too much cheese, so that's close enough for me.)In today's jingle-packed episode, we unwrap the latest team-shaped gift from GeeDub... the Bretonians. Mik takes us through paint pens for modelling with his customary calligraphic flourish. We assess our 2026 Fearless Blood Bowl Inventories before hacking into a few turkey-shaped tournament reports. And of course, we round out with another NAF Name or Nonsense... and this one is a cracker. Get it? A cracker!What better way to start the Bright New Year. Enjoy!

Good morning sports fans... it's Release Day!As every coach is no doubtedly aware, today sees the release of Season Three of the angriest, silliest, bloodiest and ballsiest boardgame in all worlds New and Old... it's Warhammer Blood Bowl!The ever-genial Scouseboy and Picnicmik have risen extra early to greet the postie at the door, in order to record and release a comprehensive unboxing of their freshly delivered Blood Bowl Base Set. From the sprues to the rules, from the pitches to the glitches, they take it all in and set the scene for those players yet to receive Nuffle's Full Bounty.Tokens, roster changes, new skills, tweaks and leaks and ruddy cheeks, it's all here. So sit back, eat a hobnob, and enjoy the ride.(Also, hello! It's good to be back. Monthly service has now resumed.)

Hello, and welcome to the July edition of Miss Next Game!Last time out, we discussed the tin-pot half-pint guzzling goons, the Halflings. Today, it's the turn of their slightly beardy and much maligned cousins, the Dwarves! We take a long hard look at what makes them tick, and spout some frankly incendiary ideas on how they could be changed for better or worse.Mik takes us through the benefits of social hobbying in his monthly masterclass, and we have a deep dive into team selection for both league and tourney, both beginner and expert.All this, plus a bug tournament roundup that included NAFC, and another fun edition of NAF Name or Nonsense.What are you waiting for? Get crackin'!

Hello, and welcome to the May edition of Miss Next Game! Today, we have the chunky low-down on everyone's favourite pie-eating midget clan, the Halflings, including a comprehensive rundown on all their available Star Player options. Mik talks basing before pulling off his mask and declaring his love for masking, and we discuss our usual highs and lows from our recent tournament performances.Our Talking Point is a whimsical look at suggested NAFC rosters from the genius of ChatGPT, and we end proceedings with another sterling edition of NAF Name or Nonsense.What are you waiting for? Get listenin'!

Hello, and welcome to the April edition of Miss Next Game, this time running to a slender time of two-point-five hours!In this month's packed episode, we have a Team Talk on the most vanilla, yet most customisable, roster in the game: the mighty Humans. Mik's Hobby Masterclass gives us a good foundation talk of Airbrushing, before we head into a focussed and sinewy Tournament Roundup.Our Talking Point for the month is dealing with disappointment in Blood Bowl, be it diriven by a single failed dice or amalcontentment with the game as a whole. And, as ever, we dash headlong for the finish line with another stout and hearty edition of NAF Name or Nonsense.What are you waiting for? Dig in!

Hello! It's been a while. Thanks for popping by. Have you lost weight? I like your shoes, are they new?Today's returning episode of Miss Next Game is in two parts. The first half is an edition of the podcast, long overdue for a variety of mundane reasons. We discuss the Chaos Dwarves, Mik has some hobby spend tips, and there's a breakdown of our EuroBowl Athens performance recorded live from the field. Plus there's NAF Name or Nonsense, and all the usual chat and laughter you need.The second half is a special Tournament Recap, replete with a slew of tournament fun from the business end of 2024. We recorded it, and planned to run it as a special episode, but time got away from us. So it's here instead.Nine hours. Blimey. That's ludicrous. Going forward, we'll have monthy podcasts at around two hours apiece.Here's a breakdown of the constituents, so you can pick and choose what you'd like. We're all busy people, after all.

In the latest (long overdue) episode of Miss Next Game, we discuss the strengths and the weaknesses of the perennial Team of the Night... the Shambling Undead. Mik takes us through a masterclass of marking your positionals, and we step inside the Blood Bowl Time Machine. All this, plus tournament reports galore, and a stellar episode of NAF Name or Nonsense!

In this month's Gigantor of an episode, we talk Pros (and cons) of the Pro Elves... that's right, the Elven Union are staking their claim for greatness. We debut a new News section, Mik waxes lyrical with tips beyond the brush in his Hobby Masterclass, we affirm new vows for our Fearless Blood Bowl Inventories, and we run through a smorgasbord of tournament reports with talking points aplenty.
