Blood Bowl - Evil Rat Men

 The next team in the Blood Bowl project is the Skaven team.  Like the team previous, the Tomb Kings, these are third party models.  Also like the last team, I'm not sure where they are from (other than the tunnels below).  Each of the models seem to be made of resin, except for the rat ogre and assassins.

 The sculpts are nice, although there is some crazy flash here and there, and each model is slightly different, which is a nice change from the core set teams.

 I went for a dirty sewer theme on the colours.  I figure that this is the brightest that dirty rat men can get.

 They were fast to paint, while also being interesting enough to paint.

 I really liked the rat ogre.  All of the poses embody the feel of the rats.  Many times during painting I could almost hear the chittering.

 With these guys done, there are only three teams to go (plus some additional humans).

 Until next round...

...be well.

Blood Bow - Mummy's Team

 At first, the Blood Bowl project only included the core set, but when the first two teams were picked up another two teams were put on the list.  It sounds like I will be tackling almost all the teams over the next little while.  Here is the Tomb King team, complete with dancing skeletons.

 My client has looked to other miniature companies for the new teams, which is understandable due to the lack of support from GW.  I have no idea where these guys are from but they do have lots of character.  The sculpts themselves are not as finely detailed as what I am used to, the lines are shallow and the poses are fairly static.  Even with their faults, they were still fun to paint up.

 The 'old school' colour schemes are well received, so I continued the trend.  These bigger guys got some 80's horror movie skin, where the little guys got the standard dry bone.

 They do have the same main colours as the human team, but I think the gold will help set them apart.  They also got dead grass instead of the green, I am planning for all the "evil" teams to have the same (chaos and skaven).

 On the list are some skaven, chaos, wood elves and dwarfs.  It should be a fun adventure.

 Until next round....

....be well.

Blood Bowl - The Empire's Finest

 Along with the orcs, I got the chance to paint up the other team in the Blood Bowl box; the humans.  Being starter box models, they were quick and easy to paint but with very static poses and duplicates.

 Overall, I think they turned out fairly good, although very basic.  For this project I am sticking to the more classic colour schemes.  I miss the old era sometimes....

There is more Blood Bowl to come!  Until next round, be well.

Blood Bowl - Da Green Teem Part 2

 The orc side of the Blood Bowl set are finished.  So without further preamble, here are some pictures!

I'm a Ricalope of few words today, so until next time (be well).

Blood Bowl - Troll Zero

 This troll is a little different than my usual, a river troll who plays Blood Bowl.  This was a really fun model to paint up (even though it is old with a static pose without a lot of details).  When these teams are done I might actually miss them...

 I am currently rocking four projects at the moment, and all of them commissions, which is pretty awesome if I say so myself!  This allows me to make notable amounts of progress while sating my hobby add (which is crucial cause I get bored fast).  In the past while this system has worked wonders for me, although the projects don't go as fast as they could.

Longtime readers will know; see you next round!

Blood Bowl - First Half of the Green Teem

 The bulk of the Blood Bowl minis consist of Gork and Mork's finest.  Given their large number, I painted them in two batches, so here is the first bunch of green meanies.

 As requested, I went for a traditional colour scheme, almost like that on the box.  I really like the old school GW themes.

 Being a boxed game/starter set there are lots of duplicates (the second batch has exactly the same minis), and a total of six identical linemen!  This was the other reason for doing them in two batches.

 There are a couple additions to the team, four metal orcs who look like they just showed up to hit stuff.  (They are the two in the middle.)

There is still a bunch to do on this set, should be fun!!
Until next round, be well.

Blood Bowl - Got Balls?

Until next round...
