I thought the standard re-roll counters don't always match my pitches en dugs, so I made my own.

And I don't even play Khemri :-?

Nice pitches indeed ! :D

I suggest you 2 ideas. First, make a new Beach Bowl pitch, with a bit more "realistic" sand texture and less details on the ground (bottles, limbs, etc...). The one you made is nice, but I think there's too much detail on the ground. And try to change some details which fit better for a beach (ice creams, sunglasses, fins, etc...).

And I saw that you haven't made a Street Bowl pitch yet... It would be a nice addition ! :wink:

I just printed a BB7s board out and mounted it on a folding board. it looks pretty good. I'll get a pic of it soon, maybe even get a game with it in a quiet moment during the Bloodbowl this coming weekend.

I think I'm going to do another folding BB7s board, folding into 4 (like the bloodbowl board) to make it easier to carry around before going up to making a full size board

Unfortunatly with a single fold it is slightly too long to be the same size and the bloodbowl board (it is the same width) :-? so I'm going to make my next one a four fold so it is smaller than a sheet of A4. I'll print off some small dugouts so they fit with it. :)

for anyone else wanting to make them like this I got all the tips from this site

http://www.bgdf.com/

I'm trying to source some lightweight buckram to back future boards with. At the moment I'm just using thick black paper, which is fine, but won't survive getting wet at all.

I also need to find a place to print larger boards, I used Epson Panoramic paper to print the BB7s board in 2 pieces (it is exactly the right lenght!), but I can't do anything bigger. (and Epson have discontinued the paper now)

Your site looks great, and those pitches are incredible. Have you thought about doing re-rolls, turn counters etc... for every team. That would be interesting to see what you come up with.

Keep up the good work!

Yeah I was planning to do that, but I'm kindo low on time right now. But I hope to have atleast 2 designs per team soon

Here are some pics of a board I customised based on one from your web page.
This pitch will be given away as a prize at the Albion Coast Cup in August.
I need to mount it on card etc as I did with my BB7s pitch earlier in this thread
