Blood Bowl seems to be the order of the day today, so I thought I would share some pictures of the Skaven Blood Bowl team that I sold on ebay earlier in the year.

I had a bit of an obsession with Blood Bowl a few years ago, but decided that I did not play often enough, so decided to trim down the collection and sold most of my teams off, keeping just a couple that have some real meaning to me.
I sold these, a Goblin team and my Dark Elves. I only kept my Humans, as they are the best painted, my Lizardmen, which I had kit bashed and converted and were then painted by a good friend as a birthday present, and my Halflings, as I had sculpted them myself and they are the most fun to play!

I still had the pictures of the Skaven, so I thought I would post them here.
They have been kit bashed and converted from various GW plastic sets.
They are supposed to represent a cunning Skaven plan to infiltrate the Human Empire, disguising themselves as man-things to enable them to pass unnoticed in the society of the Empire!

Firstly, the Line-Rats

A mix of skaven and Empire parts.

The Throwers

Again Empire and Skaven parts with large Ogre hands and scratchbuilt top hats.

The Storm-Vermin blitzers

The usual parts, but this time with Orc bodies to make them broader and Brettonian helmets.

The Gutter Runners

This time with human legs to make them taller

The Rat Ogre

Converted from a Marauder Ogre with Rat Ogre parts.

Finally- The Team photo

I realise that the painting is not great. This is due to a friend asking if he could paint them. He did a great job until the moment he decided to experiment with Army Painter Quick shade, which did not work with the blue and white scheme. They then had to be overpainted and the quick shade had filled in a lot of the detail, making them very difficult to paint up to a better standard.
I was a little disappointed, but they still looked ok and you can see the idea that I had in mind when first making them.

Aaah, look at the ugly hairy kids playing a big boys' game

Nice work and cool conversions. I think the paint job looks pretty good

Hey Mason, did you post these on TBB way back when? I seem to recognize them, but can't be certain. Funny looking guys, I like them!

Phreedh; I have no idea what TBB is.
As I said, I sold these on ebay a while ago.
Maybe the buyer posted them.

Ah, maybe... or I'm just a confused old man.

VERY IMAGINATIVE STUFF! I like doing my Goblins up in Renaissance garb also. The top hats are outstanding...they remind me of the style of hat worn by the Stradioti.
While the painting is not up to your Oh-So-High standard, they are still attractive minis...a WELL DONE to your friend is in order.

I admire people who can do this, I have too little skill and not enough patience to embark down this route.

TBB = Talk Bloodbowl, now renamed Talk Fantasy Football after a C&D (cease and desist) letter from GW (Games Workshop)
