Blood Bowl = an over dose of Teams

I have to admit from the moment I saw this on Warhammer Community I loved this miniature.

Ben (not OTT’s Ben but another Ben – what is it about the world of hobby that draws Ben’s inexplicably to it?) on the Bonehead Podcast believes this mini was sculpted by the guy who use to be Winzor Chog. For those that don’t know Winzor Chog was a 3rd party company producing Blood Bowl minis. Sadly I never got to buy any before the owner went to work for GW.

Anyway, regardless of all of that, this is super fun.

I don’t normally go on about how I painted stuff on this project, I leave that to my Golden Button* winning Primarch Project, but I thought it was worth mentioning how i cocked this up.

I followed Forgeworld’s recipe for the flesh.

Screamer Pink, Drakenhof Nightshade, Pink Horror.

However my Pink Horror highlights on the left arm were so bad it almost caused me to reach for the nail polish remover and start again. In stead what I did was wash the arm in Carroborg Crimson, and then volpus pink contrast. I think it saved it.

Greebo Games giant Lizardman.

Painted up in the colours of my Lustria Kroakers.

Currently away with work but I am informed that my Norse Team has arrived.

Will upload pics and where I got them all from next week!

Now I just need to watch some videos on ice and snow basing…

So, what we have done so far is under coat these fella’s in Corax White.

Gulliman flesh on most of them – highlighted with Kislev Flesh.

A couple I did with Darkoath Flesh (Darkwolf and Conan). Then highlighted those two up with Cadian Flesh tone and then Kislev Flesh.

A bit of blue on them and that’s as far as we got!

So the Ulfwerners are a mix of Willy Miniatures and Meiko

The linemen are from Goblin Guild and mainly purchased due to Conan and Darkwolf!

The Thrower and Runner / Catchers are from Meiko

The Blitzers / Berserkers are also from Meiko.

Next up probably get another thrower, there is one from Goblin Guild who looks ok, and a Snow Troll. That we will definitely be getting from Greebo Games.

They do an enormous weird looking one called Juma!

Juma the Snow King

I know BB has many many forums where people discuss its merits / tactics / teams and miniatures.

But I wanted to start one here on OTT.

So for anyone interested in discussing all things Blood Bowl, why not join in here:

All kinds of everything remind me of Blood Bowl!

Thanks!

Went into a contrast paint frenzy on this.

Dakoath Flesh in patches and Gulliman Flesh for the skin.

Then Magos purple on the lower parts of its body.

Volpus Pink on the tentacles.

Then we have painted the boils with Yriel Yellow and wash them over with Plague Bearer Flesh.

I think it looks suitable rancid at this point!

More work on this, to be honest its pretty much done at this stage – bar the number.

I like it. A liberal application of Nurgle’s Rot on the base to have some stuff leaking out of the tail – weird!

When thinking about my Blood Bowl collection, I have tried to imagine each team as a living breathing entity, some will be hugely successful and can afford the best kit, stadium and players. Others not so much.

So for the relaunched Middenheim Marauders I imagine them being a more modest club.

With that in mind they have hired Helmut Wulf!

Managed to recall his name!

this is where we are with him so far, a liberal use of contrast paints have really speeded up my Blood Bowl painting game!

Painted him up just like the rest of my Champions of Death team.

Work so far on Skrull – Just got the elf arm he is carrying to finish really.

I really enjoyed painting him, contrast really sorted out the bone, as opposed to using Ushbati -Agrax-Ushbait-Screaming Skull.

Might still add some Dark Reaper highlights to the armour.

But I am happy.

Tube of super glue burst and went all over Frank N Stein, so his leg and stomach look a little rough!
