Blood Bowl Human ‘Cheerleader’ Team (progress with sculpt 6/6)

[Silent Invader]

Hasslefree minis are great both for using ‘as is’ and for converting and, having been challenged to create a Blood Bowl team, I decided to build it around a couple of their Fantasy Football minis but using a ‘cheerleader’ theme.

Much, much more work to do but here’s some very early WIP shots to show what I’m aiming for.

First up is a blocker using HFF008 Madison.  Not much in the way of change, just some squaring off of the helmet cheek shields to match the rest of the team.



Next is a catcher HFF004 Danni, minor changes to the thong to turn it into shorts plus I’ve started to reshape the helmet as it was more bulbous than Madison’s.



A line(wo)man from HFH022 Concubine…. Needs tidying up plus adding the knee and elbow pads and socks; the helmet is a conversion of the ones I made and cast for my Colonial Marines project.



Another line(wo)man using HFH029 Beach Babe Libby, changes much as for Concubine; the right arm had to be repositioned so that the hand would rest on the top of the helmet.



And a another line(wo)man, this time HFA035 Morgan who was wearing a dress and carrying a pistol but is now in shorts and vest and clapping her hands.



The final line(wo)man from HFF007 Summer, who was actually a cheerleader but is in the process of having her pompoms replaced with open palms; the helmet is another Colonial Marine adaptation.



A thrower that I’m in the throes of sculpting.  Looks really weird with just a face rather than a whole head but there’s a helmet to add. Much tidying up to do, this really is early stage as can be seen from the shape of the football!!!



The team will have a ‘spongeman’ using HFN004 Wolsey, who’ll have a medic’s bag.



The full team will comprise an ogre (not a fantasy ‘ogre’ but a dominant human player) to be converted from HFH042 Dominatrix Libby plus another Line(wo)man from the HFH036 Artemis figure.  I will also need to sculpt two more blockers in the same style as Morgan to complete the team.

Hope you like where it’s going but obviously there’s a lot more to do.

Comments most welcome.

Awesome conversions! I'm looking forward to seeing where you go with this

I've got HF Bloodbowl set and was thinking of adding new minis to the team, you got me inspired!!!

Nice putty work - these are going to look fab painted up.

Wolsey as  the spongeman is a great idea too - he just needs a prostrate and injured player with her limbs all bent the wrong way for him to scratch his head over!
