Guild Ball Kick Off Spring Clean

About the Project
I fell in love with the minis and the lets plays on this site for Guild Ball. I started by priming, painting the balls and mascots and then tried to explain the rules to my son to play with the Kick Off box set. Didn't find it easy to convey the rules because every character has different powers and strengths. When he didn't really seem into the game from the outset and i didn't know enough about the game, his characters or mine, to explain the options it all broke down and we gave up and packed it away. In the end i got very disheartened and other painting projects wormed their way onto the bench and the box has gathered dust since 2017. I need to get some enjoyment out of this present that was bought for me all that time ago. If i have to sell it because i can't find anyone to play it, in the flooded Blood Bowl rich player base since the GW relaunch in the meantime, well then so be it, but i want some fun out of this box even if it is just to paint them. The Spring Clean Challenge seems as good a time as any to get these two starter set teams painted.

Before and After... 
Kickoff completeI thought i had completed my project once i completed the Kickoff starter box minis, but i found 2 substitutes in the box beneath a load of movement templates.
I had forgotten that i really thought i was going to dive into this game and bought these in a sale around my birthday in 2017.
I am going to paint them rather than sell them. It will flesh out this project and they will definitely stretch my painting skill. Granite looks straightforward, but Stoker’s flames and bottles scare the hell out of me. No blaming issues on soft details with these crisp metal minis. ?
Stoker
Stoker.
Happy with the flame and the glass bottles. Decided any OSL would be so fleeting with flame blowing that there’s no point. With so much tartan etc i didn’t need the extra challenge. ?
Quite proud how this one came out. The tartan guide earlier in the project profited from some WiP pics of Stoker’s cloak.
Granite - Project completed
With Granite I used the same white trousers with a stripe scheme as the rest of the team and a blue top.
The art on the box shows her with tawny blond hair and black gloves, but i have used the deep Ultramarines Blue Contrast paint for the gloves.
Thanks to everyone for their likes and comments.
I even have someone interested in playing the game after the lockdown. ?
