Here's a few pics of my Blood Bowl collection. I've been gathering them for a few years, and have never taken any pics of them.

I'm gradually replacing the plastic orcs I have with some of the older and more characterful metal ones.

A mixed bag of Nurgle warriors - I've got almost all of the chaos all star minis now, and will probably paint some up to replace a couple of these.

I really like this version of the Jordell mini.

Paint job Inspired by a fantastic team I saw on the web.

This is a heavily modified Mage Knight figure
I've still got a few teams in the painting queue - Dwarves, chaos Dwarves, Slann, various big guys, several star players, plus several minis to add to the undead team so they can be played as Necromancer or Khemri.
Lots more pics here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/15220207@N06/sets/72157654560562220
Thanks for looking!
-
Amazing work! Your teams all look just great. Thank you for sharing!
-
As I'm (again) diving on BLOOD BOWL lately, this thread is truly inspirational.
Great models and a SPLENDID paint job.
The rest of theteams at the link just made me turn green with envy and I hate you ;)
Thanks for sharing.
-
Thanks, guys. Glad you like them. When I started with BB I only planned to do a couple of teams, and when I decided to take some pics I was very surprised at how many I actually own and had painted! lol
Edit: grammar
-
crisp paintjob! those beastmen are clearly influenced by this http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=67287.0 (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=67287.0) team?
-
Great stuff!
Love your chaos colour scheme!
Cheers,
A.
-
Very very nice paint jobs! WOW!
-
lovely brush work! I specially like the High Elves
-
Really nice painting. Very clean and perfect for the setting.
I'm feeling inspired now! I have tonnes of BB that I have been meaning to paint...
-
After almost 3 years after undercoating them, I finally finished my Lizardman team (apart from numbering and Kroxigor). They are one of the teams I really wanted, right back from when I started playing BB, but I found them quite troublesome to paint for some reason. A lot of the detail is quite soft, but I guess that is part of their old school charm? :)

I ended up with 2 star players, so I used them both as Saurus.

Enough Skinks for an entire team!
-
Nice painting.
-
Beautiful paintwork across the board and such a diverse collection of models. The chaos minotaur mutant/ Keeperesque conversion rocks; Love the Slaanesh team colours on the fig! What did you name that team? I hope it isn't the name I have in mind for a chaos team in the works. I might have to retire their jerseys before they even get a game in :) .
-
Cheers, guys! Glad you like them :)
Quite a few folks like the Mino conversion, though I have to say it looks better in the flesh - I should try and take some better snaps at some point. It looks great when the team is set up on the field. I really wanted a Mino with tentacles and i had that model lying around, turned out to be a great donor.
I doubt I have given my chaos team the same name that you did - I'm not exactly the greatest team namer! lol
Here's a few they've had so far:
The Dark Lord's Flesh Column
Resistance is Fuchsia
The Excess Express
The Insatiable Ones
What are you calling yours?
-
Thankfully you haven't claimed, "The Sweet Princes". Mine typically take a beating; "Good night sweet prince" :(.
-
Your teams looks very good.
Very good painting and color scheme.

Making this thread has provided me with the motivation to finish off the last few teams I have unpainted. This time, Dwarves:

It was quite challenging to make all of the Blocker's beards a different colour :)
I also made a couple of Skaven mutants from the bits left over after making a team, claws made with instamold impressions taken from various minis - I love that stuff.

Finally, I made a little headway with the queue of Big Guys I have to paint - a converted Reaper Bones troll, with some added greenstuff pads, etc.

Next up - Choas Dwarves!
-
Absolutely lovely conversions and painting. Thanks for sharing.
-
That dwarf team was a nice sculpt and your team looks sweet. I regret selling mine years ago but it pleases me to see your figs. I think I liked the runners the best. I really thought their faces took detail well.
The skaven conversions are good and that orc troll is awesome.
-
Thanks guys :)
The dwarf team was a joy to paint - as you say, they are very detailed and characterful models. I'd out off painting them for a year (or two?) after I bought them cheap off ebay - they were caked in paint, and they looked really unappealing - amazing what a quick soak and strip will reveal.
Managed to paint another Bones conversion last night, this time an Ogre for my Human team - a quick weapon snip, some added greenstuff pads and boots, and he's ready to made his debut.

The ogre rocks. He scales nicely against his team mate and looks wonderful. I enjoyed painting all of the models on the dwarf team excepting the blitzers. I did like their masks but there was only enough face showing through that I had difficulty getting at it and enough visible that the mess I'd made was readily apparent. If I still had the models to go at again my painting has improved so I don't think I would cawk it up so badly.

Loving the simple but effective conversion.
Now the question is, where did that discarded snipped weapon go? ;-)

Awesome teams, great paint job on all of them and not forgetting nice conversions! :-* I just have two Streetbowl teams ready, should start on the proper BB Wood Elf team again, it's too long overdue *sigh*

Thanks guys :)

Not sure where the snipped weapon went, but looking at the Ogre's expression, he's not too thrilled about its current location ;)
I reckon painting (and finishing!) BB teams can be an intimidating prospect, mainly because it's a boring prospect, and something of a commitment to paint 12-16 models all in the same livery (and many figs with the same sculpt, if you're using GW stuff).
I've found that the key to getting BB models done, more than any other type of mini, is to do them in batches of 4-5, and try not to sweat too much about pixel perfect paint jobs. Plus, the more figs you paint from a specific team, the better they tend to look together. I always find if I paint a single test figure, I'm never sure about the colour scheme, and tend not to follow up on the rest of the team. I had a couple of teams with a single test mini, with the rest in bare metal for a couple of years. Now, once I decide on a scheme (after a bit of careful thought/research), I just dive in and start splashing some paint on a few minis, simultaneously.
I'm about halfway through the Chaos Dwarves, hoping to have them done by the weekend.
-
I finally found some time to base the Chaos Dwarf team I painted a couple of weeks back. I thought that such crazy over the top models needed a suitably bonkers paintjob, so I went for a lime green and zebra stripes combo. As you do. I also created a logo for the team :)
Apologies, photos aren't the best - there is some shading but it's hard to pick out with lighting I had available.

The added 'H' in Zebras is a little more 'Dwarven' ;)

I went for olive skinned Hobos, to avoid clashing with the green of their uniforms.
Cheers!

They are fhriggin' awesome!
-
Thanks, glad you like them :)

These are excellent! Bloodbowl was always a favourite and it's great to see such well painted figures.
-
With the rerelease of Blood Bowl, i thought I'd best get my finger out and finsih off the lst few models I have to paint to finish off th teams that I already own.
First up is a Minotaur for the Chaos Dwarf team (pictured above) - I think it's an old WHFB one, I snipped his hand and weapon, and made a new one holding a spike from some greenstuff.

(https://c2.staticflickr.com/1/313/31635595345_6777e763d0_z.jpg)
Next is a Beast of Nurgle I bought on ebay a couple of years ago, i think it was made for the NAF or similar organisation. Lots of pinning and greenstuff involved, but I like the way it turned out.

(https://c7.staticflickr.com/1/542/31598619126_eeffb7328c_z.jpg)
They both look a bit better in the flesh, I don't have the best lightning for pics at the moment :)
Next up is a Deathroller and a Saurus.

Hadn't seen the Chaos Dwarves before, brilliant work on them! :-*
And the new big guys rock as well, great work!

Excellent teams. Excellent painting. :-*
