After all, I already had some terrain with battle damange on it, primed and ready to go.</p> <p>Ultimately I decided on something a little more involved. Something a little more&hellip; Gasland-y.</p>https://blog.floppy.parts/posts/20260428-gloom-and-bloom/Tue, 28 Apr 2026 20:49:12 -0500https://blog.floppy.parts/posts/20260428-gloom-and-bloom/<h1 id="the-dictionary-defines-decay-as">The dictionary defines decay as&hellip;</h1> <p>The April painting theme being &ldquo;Bloom and Decay,&rdquo; or bloom <em>or</em> decay, or bloom and decay and there and back again, I opted to incorporate both decay and bloom in this Blood Bowl Treeman - both the slow decay of a dying tree, the blooming of new flowers on the base, and the cycle of death and regrowth through the changing of the leaves. (That&rsquo;s three &ldquo;boths&rdquo; but stick with me here.)</p>
