Blood Bowl- Chaos Dwarves

A pause from Star Wars- I'm going to Eucalyptus Bowl this weekend, and I'm taking The Thumper Lumpers- Chaos Dwarves from Willy Miniatures.

Blood Bowl Chaos Dwarves- Willy Miniatures

I hadn't found Chaos Dwarf miniatures I liked until the Willy ones came out. I've still got a few extra players to paint up, but have run out of time before the tourney kicks off.

Bull Centaurs- anatomically accurate!

Hobgoblin Slaves

Hobgoblin Star Player- Rashnak Backstabber

I found the purple harder to highlight than I anticipated, and it is a little outshone by all the gold. I highlighted the black (e.g. on the Bull Centaurs) with dark blue-grey. I rushed a few of the close ups, sorry about the blurry shots!

Blood Bowl- Halflings!

I am proud to present my Blood Bowl Halfling team, The Wild Flings! These are from Willy Miniatures, and I am taking them to CanCon this weekend!

The colour scheme was inspired by this Cleveland Browns variant logo designed by Daniel Gold:

I used a flesh coloured primer for these figures, which worked really well. I loved painting the faces- there's so much character in their sculpts and poses. (I did flag a bit when painting all their armour and stripes...)

I know that they can only have two treemen, but I also want to take Deeproot Strongbranch, and I happened to have a fourth treeman which I painted because I was on a roll! I didn't want to paint the creepers, fungi, or leaves too bright in order not to detract from the armour and stripes.

I got a Puggy Baconbreath star player as well.

Finally, a Master Chef!

Wish me luck for CanCon!

Blood Bowl Chaos Minotaur

There have been a few too many Star Wars posts recently, so here's part of the Chaos Blood Bowl team I'm very slowly completing (Star Player Leader, Star Player Thrower).

Blood Bowl Chaos Minotaur from Willy Miniatures

"What yoo lookin' at?"

This is a Willy Miniatures Minotaur. I greenstuffed the gem on the belt. There are casting deficiencies under the number plate and on the bottom of the the left pauldron, but I'll chalk that up to battle damage.

Note the casting deficiencies

Overall, a very imposing sculpt. At this rate, still a while to go before the rest of the team gets done!

In other news, don't leave your Blogger open when immature people are around... 'nuff said!

Blood Bowl Chaos mutations

I converted some mutations for my ever-so-slowly-progressing Willy Miniatures Chaos Blood Bowl team. I used bits from plastic Warhammer Beastmen, the always useful Warhammer Chaos mutation sprue, and a Reaper Creature Components sprue.

I have concerns about the durability of the tentacles...

Naturally, Willy has now produced its own mutation figures, which would have saved me a lot of time and effort. There is, of course, a nice feeling to have your own unique figures.

Now I just need to pull my finger out and get painting!
