OR is it… Are you okay, bro?!ĭuring some of the early mishaps of this team, I was re-priming them for like the third time or so…and realized it’s about impossible to paint underneath those beards. It actually took me a couple tries, and I’m not entirely sure which paints and process got me there. My original team, I just used red on their hair, and didn’t know how to get the effect I got here. It was fun to paint the fiery orange Troll Slayer hair. Jumping into the field with little armor. For the team, I figure it’s a ragtag group of veterans and new blood.Īll you want to know and then some, can be found in my last post: Īnd last, but far from least, the Troll Slayers. It turned out pretty nice, and I’ve been experimenting with it a bit. I should have jotted down where I got the recipes for white/grey/black hair. Since there isn’t a Yellow gem paint color (C’mon on GW!), I glazed Lamenters Yellow onto it. ![]() This is to give new players an additional way to easily identify the positions. Also of note, I painted each gem to match a ‘ position color scheme‘ used in tournaments. The eyes are pretty much obscured by the helm on the blockers. ![]() Some additional green stuff rocks on these guys base, and I painted their eye, since it was more visible through the helm. Some would say a “crawling” game, as they move so slowly. I did use Blood for the Blood God for the first time, to add a few drops of the red stuff to his base.ĭwarves play a running game in Blood Bowl. I green stuffed some folds in his pants that I wasn’t crazy about, but not really any changes on him. Even though he’s a few years older, he still seems to fit in quite well with the team. Grim (on the left), is a Willy Miniatures mini. Rewriting the lettering as well (dread!). Since then, I redid his base to match with the rest of the team. Barik (on the right) was done back in April for Azazel’s Assembly Challenge. Here we have Grim Ironjaw and Barik Farblast. On loan for whomever can pay their price, and useful in balancing the difference between a newer team and a more experienced one. One is a bit of a custom, as I stole parts to make up the Deathroller driver. Probably 2 more than I will ever need, but too late now. I somehow miscounted along the way and instead of painting up just six, ended up with nine. Normally called “Linemen” in Blood Bowl, but these Linemen all start with the Block skill, and so I guess they get the title of Blockers. Though it breaks down so often, that you can’t count on it appearing from season to season. At some point they even cobbled together their own Deathroller. Enough said, as they took up the sport as a pastime and later started to compete as a fledgling team. That is until an ex-Blood Bowl player came to stay. They often found themselves quite bored when not in the midst of harvesting season. Which is why they all sport the white triangle ‘mountains’ symbol on their uniform. ![]() They aren’t miners like the traditional Dwarves, but spend much of their summer harvesting and brewing the famous Barrier Peaks Ale. These Dwarfs hail from an isolated region of the Barrier Peaks (a nod to the Dungeons & Dragons adventure module “ Expedition to the Barrier Peaks“). My old Blood Bowl Dwarf minis – possibly in the throes of being repainted or not completed.Īlthough Coaches will of course give them their own name, a background came to me while working on the new minis. So if I made some mistakes (a lot!), I could probably live with that. They are not my favorite team to play, and not many people (that I’ve played with) are that interested in them. It had been some time since I had painted, so I opted to start with the Dwarves. Of course, I decided to buy the new minis, and ended up selling off the old ones. The fever took hold and with each new release, I had a tough choice to make “buy new minis and/or sell the old ones”. The team got done and the Deathroller then got wrapped up for November Mechanical Challenge.Īnd now let’s back up a bit more, Games Workshop relaunched Blood Bowl back in 2016. Still, with a good start on the team, a desire to just get them done, and the ‘grunts’ mostly finished….it was full steam ahead. Not enough time, and I ended up completing the Linemen/Blockers for the October Unit-Ed Challenge instead. In all fairness, I went through a rough series of mistakes upon returning to the miniature hobby and was not working on these minis the whole time.īack around September (2018), I had thought I could easily paint up some of the Dwarves for Azazel’s miniature challenge of that month. The first image of them appears in a post about mishaps in priming and then a series of “ Under the Slow Brush” posts. Hard to believe that I started this team way back around the start of this site. Yes, hell has frozen over and/or Faust has finally managed to finish his Dwarf team for Blood Bowl!
