Hiyas!
Got an invitation to participate in a Streetbowl tournament and of course I have no team ready.
Decided to field my good old Slaaneshi 69ers (a team that I used to have years ago) [a nod towards San Francisco 49ers, in case you dirty-minded lot were wondering ;) ].
I have two metal warriors (one OOP Slaaneshi Champion with whip, other OOP BB Chaos Warrior) and metal minotaur (bought from this very forum) but I still need beastmen to fill in the ranks. In the previous Slaaneshi 69ers I used old metal daemonettes in place of beastmen but since I don't have those anymore I need to find the replacements, sooner the better as I have one month before the tournament day.
Of course I could use the plastic daemonettes and be happy but what's the challenge in that (well painting them is one, of course :D) but since I would like to make them a bit more special I thought about mixing plastic daemonettes and ungors... have you seen such mixes before? Is it doable without too much hassle and greenstuff work or should I just stick to the out-of-the-box daemonettes?
Besides finishing the team I kind of promised to make one board as well and that is already underway. Next weekend is Easter so I have some extra time to build and maybe even paint then thus decisions need to be done hastily.
Any comments, ideas etc more than welcome.
-
Sounds great. Straight out of the box would work well enough painted in old style slaanesh pastels. A few starplayers with claw arms and tentacles and you're done.
-
Well here are three of the four Beastmen that I will have in the starting line-up. Very dirty and easy builds, nothing fancy. The fourth one will maybe be one with daemonette face but for that I need to make a neck out of green stuff. They are not that Slaaneshi but hopefully colours will remedy that a bit.

And here they are with the Minotaur (I will name him/it as 'the Big Moo') and two Chaos Warriors:

Looks like we could be in for an interesting show. I never got into Blood Bowl or any other more or less related variant, but each time I see a thread like this I get closer to starting a stadium project.
They may be easy builds, but they work well.
Now paint them! :D
-
Now paint them! :D
Haha :D That I intend to start this weekend on Easter holiday... end product won't be anything special, I'm afraid.
You should definately start a Blood Bowl, it's an excellent game and teams are easy to make from plastic sets.
I have OOP Wood Elves waiting to be painted besides these Slaaneshi types. Should re-build my Dwarf team and two teams I would like to try out are the Skaven and Dark Elves. Too many ideas, too many projects, too little time...

I hear your pain...
I have four teams, which I'd bought as special rank fillers for their respective armies (Chaos Dwarfs, Empire, Dark Elves, Norse). Maybe I'll try to complete one lot....

Today we had the small Streetbowl tournament which included besides my Chaos team, a Slann team, a Lizardmen team and Necromantic team.
I lost my first game against the Necromantic team 2-0 but managed to win two next games; 3-0 for me against the Slann team and 2-0 against the Lizardmen team.
Minotaur got most starplayers points, 15 in total (10 from 5 casualities caused and once chosen as MVP).
Too bad I didn't have to finish the bases in time, will have to do it later. But I think next tourney will see a new team from me.

Love your team! where is that Minotaur from?
-
Many thanks.
The minotaur is old GW metal minotaur, just perfect for Slaanesh team. I got it from LAF actually, all I had to do was to paint his hood in team colours and then put some Tamiya Clear Red on his knucles and also on whip/lash wounds on its back... those must have been caused by the Slaaneshi warrior with the chain whip... I have named her as Mistress Whip in my team :D
-
Great stuff, mate.
Nice painting on the 69'ers.
:D :-* :D
I had quite a few Blood Bowl teams not too long ago, with six fully painted, with re-roll counters, turn counters etc.
I sold them all, bar one, within the last year.
You can guess what happened recently......?
Yep, I was asked if I wanted to take part in a League or tournament.
Good thing I kept one, eh?
:D
The Will Maul Lions will come out of retirement soon....
EDIT: Three of those recently sold are here-

Nice stuff. Tell me the beastman with the tongue is a catcher. :D
The second thing to make me want to dust off my own half-built team this week. The first was, ironically, GW finally sloughing off SG.
-
Cheers chaps, feedback and your kind words are much appreciated.
Mason: I had seen your beautiful Halfling team in the sale thread, too bad that you "had to" let go of it and other teams as well. Same kind of situation happened to me, I sold my 1st ed Human and Skaven teams, as well as an OOP Wood Elf team (my all time favourites) and Ogre team, only to find the game again. Happily I have still extra OOP Wood Elves for a second team (need to paint them all though :/) and now the Slaaneshi 69ers for Streetbowl. Have couple of ideas for new teams though... I think the flame has rekindled after yesterdays tournament :) Hope to see your team on the pitch soon! Any pics of them btw?
Vermis: he did have diving tackle skill due to inducement, I think it was called Marbles? So instead of marbles he/it must have used the tongue? *yuck :D *
-
And here's a start for the second Streetbowl team. I guess which team it is going to be is not that difficult to guess/spot/know...
Plan is to field only two of these as Rotters, other two will wait as possible extras that might enter the team through the effect of Nurgles Rot.

Still mold lines to flatten etc...
Next one is the big guy, luckily it will be an easy one.
-
So bit of threadnomancy but no harm done there, I hope.
The Nurgle team, which I have named Altdorf Rashskins (as there is Washington Redskins) is still in the making, even if I have managed to paint few of them, pics of them tomorrow maybe.
Anyhoo, I have started a third team, Orcs this time. No team name yet but first to show is four Black Orc blockers, cheap and dirty job from FB Black orcs.

Need to get a box of Orc warriors for linemen and blitzes next.

Some cool ideas on this thread mate, glad to see you back at it 8)
cheers

Cheers,
I guess the annual Blood Bowl bug has bitten me :) Still have old Wood Elf team waiting in the sidelines besides these three. Would love to have Dwarves and Dark Elves too *sigh* :)
-
So here's some WIP and PIP pics on the Altdorf Rashskins.
First PIP of two already previously shown Rotters and one Chaos Warrior, made from the FB range Nurgle warrior/lord:

And here's a PIP of two Rotters and Beast of Nurgle (original model OOP GW Plague Demon), they need some highlights etc:
(http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j384/pocolocopocoloco/kuva2-7_zps293877c9.jpg) (http://s1083.photobucket.com/user/pocolocopocoloco/media/kuva2-7_zps293877c9.jpg.html)
I think the two unpainted Rotters will get some more brownish colors on them and Warrior will be greenish. Still need to come up with another warrior to have a Street Bowl team that meets the minimum requirements.
-
I like the way that you incorporating a good few old classics in here, sir.
Very thoughtful.

Keep 'em coming! ;D
-
Nice work.
-
Thanks chaps, much appreciated.
Just bought a FB Pestigor champion from my FLGS during my lunch break. Now need to source one Nurgle Warrior and the Altdorf Rashskins team for Streetbowl is complete... oh yes, gotta paint them still o_o
So if anyone has good suggestions or oldish Nurgle type Warrior looking for a new home (through sale or trade), let me know, cheers!
-
And here's a pic of the (soon to become) very infamous Altdorf Rashkins in their current state, missing the pestigor and one Nurgle warrior.

Still need to do some paintjob on them, for exemple enhance the green on the eye holes on the warrior's helmet, paint some more bubos etc
Cheers for looking.
-
Love 'em.
-
That is a seriously disturbing looking bunch of gribblies.
Nicely done, Antti!
:-* 8)

The Nurgle Blood Bowlers are BEAUTIFUL in a suitably revolting manner. GREAT WORK!
Since they lack uniforms for a Team Color, perhaps they have a Team Odor...or not.
-
Oh, very nice. Those new Plaguebearers are really pretty good. I like how they're not all the same colour but still unified in their appearance.
-
Thank you good Sirs for your comments, I am quite happy with the team myself as well.... well, so far. Four rotters is enough for starters for Streetbowl but if I will play proper Blood Bowl with this team, I need few more rotters still. And Nurgle Warriors. And pestigors o_o
But for Streetbowl it will 4 Rotters, 1 Beast of Nurgle, 1 Pestigor and 2 Nurgle Warriors. So I'm still looking for a suitable mini for another Warrior, any minis to trade or sell for that purpose? I could always order one from the Comixininos line if no suitable minis show up.
-
Great looking team. Wouldn't want to face them
on the pitch.. :)
-
Thanks Ray Earle :)
I wouldn't want to meet them on the pitch either nor be their unlucky coach… just like DeafNala wrote, no team color but odor… lol
-
And here's the result of the quick hasty paint job on the Pestigor. The chain armour is quite rusty but doesn't look so much like the Pestigor's fur as it does in the pic:

Still have to decide on the bases for the whole team.
