Title: Bloodbowl score board
Post by: Remgain on November 17, 2009, 10:12:48 AM

Well, I'm not sure if this topic is off topic or not... ???

Anyway I post the pictures of this late project of mine.
Few balsa dowels 3x3mm, some lenght of wood listel, a plastic skeleton and some Milliput.
The numbered boards are cut in 0.5mm plasticard, and, of course, it is possible to change the score from 0-0 up to 5-5.

8) Awesome 8).
Great idea. Might borrow it in the future! The Heroquest goblin conversion is excellent as well.

Very, very good. Never played the game before, so I have no idea what its about, but your model has given me a very good impression. Excellent :)

Thank you, guys!

@Malamute: Bloodbowl is bloody fun, and quick, and very few miniatures are needed! If you'll have the possibility, let give it a try.
@Malebolgia: actually the goblin is a very old (1987?) metal miniature.

I'll have to take some more pictures, because the crows lurking on the board are nearly invisible.
Furthermore, I want to add a couple of arrows as well as an axe stuck in the board. >:D

Very cool, and that is how most Refs end up.  :)

I've been talking about building some better bloodbowl terrain for years but still playing on the cardboard pitch, cheers for the inspiration that may get me moving.  :)

Revford,

here a couple of pics of my pitch, displaying my lizardmen proudly attaking and an awful view of the human infirmery! :D

It was pretty easy to built.
A sheet of styrofoam, using a template, squares and tables are previously scratched, then painted green, then flocked.
The dugouts are then detailed (I've yet to add some bones and saws and skullz here and there) and the lines painted.
At most, this is an ideal project for a raining weekend. :)
Well, if you really have nothing better to do, of course! ;)

Very, very cool pitch.

The dug-out dugouts are a really nice touch.

Lovely scoreboard. Must play bloodbowl again soon....

It's nice, but you might want to add a nub to the bottom of the score panels to make them easier to lift up.

I love the scoreboard especially the skeleton - he looks awesome.

Looks fantastic, consider the idea stolen borrowed for when I make my own pitch

Rabbitz (and others),

Awesome work :D maybe if i took the time to build something like this revford would be distracted and stop destroying my poor little orcs all the time :P

Addam666,

"destroying my poor little orcs"? ???
Which team plays your opponent?

Just curious... as i usually play orcs, and they win adn loose, maybe are poor but surely no little!!! ;)

Post by: Addam666 on December 01, 2009, 08:01:38 AM

hehe, poor choice of words perhaps :P His dark elves are about 250 rating while my orcs are 120 or so, so I pretty much get creamed every time I play him!
Love the orcs though, abut the right level of "subtlety" in thier play style for me!!

Title: Re: Bloodbowl score board
Post by: Remgain on December 01, 2009, 10:14:04 AM

Dark elves... nasty team.
But with that difference in rating, you should be able to buy some inducements.
Otherwise there is no match!!

250?  Try 326 these days.  :)

Ah there we go...

Yeah, i get a MOUNTAIN of inducments but his team is very very good plus he has a fair idea what he's doing :P

one day i'll squeeze out a draw!

Fantastic, such a simple idea that has been wonderfully constructed.
