Are you ready for some BloodBowl?
« on: July 01, 2020, 12:37:34 PM »
Last week I got an emergency call. "Would you paint my Bloodbowl figures? Until next week?"

So I sprang into the battle brush mobile and picked up the figures. After some negotiations we agreed on doing one team for now, and I'd get 2 weeks time rather than just one. A whole Reikland Reavers team plus star players (Griff Oberwald, Mighty Zug, Morg'n'Thorg, Karla von Kill, Helmut Wulf), all the latest sculpts. Two Blitzers, one catcher and one thrower have been replaced with the alternative sculpts by Forgeworld.


Got the figures built, but still covered in mold lines. That's life. Here they are after some cleaning and basing:




...and that's what they look like now:




That's how far I got so far. I'd say I'm halfway done? About? Not sure. Anyway, hope you like them so far!

Why the rush from your client?  Taking these to a tourney? 

They look splendid as usual.

@Suipercollider: Same here! :D

@Easy E: Sometimes people gotta play BloodBowl, I suppose. :)


Heyhey, happy Friday! Do we have excellent weekend plans?

Here's another WIP shot of the Reavers:

Yup, this might be the last WIP shot of those. Hope to finish them this weekend. What do you think, Sirs and Madams?

Very nice. Can't believe that this is your unfinished quality! I can't wait to see finished versions.

@beefcake: Well, that's not that different, just more fuzz on the bases. :D

Righto, just in time for the US day of independence I got to finish the Reikland Reavers!

lol, the difference the basing makes is quite remarkable though. They really finish it off superbly :)

I keep looking at this thinking it technically should be in Other Adventures, where Blood Bowl is mentioned as one of those Other Adventures. But, from a selfish perspective, I rather like it on this Board! The team looks fantastic, really smooth painting.

@beefcake: Thanks. Yeah, basing does tend to help. :D

@Elk101: Yeah, I wasn't quite sure where to put it. Now that you mention it, I may have had an earlier BB-themed thread moved to "Other adventures" a few years back because I wrongly put it in Fantasy as well. I'll have to check. Thanks very much for the compliments! :)

@AKULA: Thanks, Sir!

@Andym: Cheers, much appreciated. :)

Cracking work!

Good timing for me too as I shall be diving back in with the new scale figures very soon, so this burst of inspiration is most welcome!

Heyhey, I got another BB team done; this time it's the new Norse including markers and tokens and star players and all of that.

Phew. These are a fair bit more work than the regular human team I did earlier. Loaded with detail and individuality and all. A fair bit of effort was put into adressing the problem that the team is bascially two copies of the same sprue. I also tried to put the figures together in a fashion that makes the half-clones even less apparant. Pretty figures though. Huge. Oh, and the Yhetee star player is good.

Hope you like them!

Very nice. Are they GW or someone else? The Yeti's/trolls or whatever they are don't quite seem GW style.
