Blood Bowl

Neither came out brilliantly but they are to a good enough standard for me bearing in mind I will unlikely use them any time in the near future.

As a positive, at least I have now completed another 2 blood miniatures, I may have ordered 4 more from GW but as they haven’t been received yet, I think that means I am making progress.  So good times.

Going to have a break from blood bowl painting for a while, until I have at least built and primed my new stuff and then will see.

So, with the following model I have now got all the positional for a chow dwarf team – which when my next Blood Bowl league starts, is going to be my team of choice.

I simply followed the recipe for the rest of the Chaos Dwarf team, the exception was the skin and bone.

Skin colour was simply the GW dark skin trio – catachan, knight questor, and blood reaver skin paints.

Bone colour was starting from Kharak stipend and then ubshanti bone and screaming skull.

When I do start playing with the Chorfs, I may even submit a few game reports – don’t expect too many wins

Continuing with some star players – Puggy Baconbreath & Rumblelow Sheeskin.

Over the next couple of weeks, I am planning to complete a few more but will see.

So the Chaos Dwarf team are finished including star players.   I may come back and revisit it after I have found and acquired a suitable Minotaur mini but for now, I can move onto over things.

However, as I may need to remember the paint job, I will list the paints used.

Yellow armour:  Averland Sunset, Agrax Earthshade, Averland, Flayed One Flesh

Black: Curvus Black, Skavenblight Dinge, Stormvermin fur

Bone:  Zandri dust, Agrax, Zandri, ushanti bone, Screaming Skull

Brown:  XV88, Argrax, Tau Light Ochre, Ungor Flesh

Green Flesh:  Straken Green, Ogryn Camo,

Metal: TTC Plate Armour, Agrax, TTC Mithril Blade

I have taken some photos near completion which are below.

I did add a few white pitch lines on some of the bases but unless I do get the Minotaur, I am counting this team as finished.

I am now moving onto my outstanding star players.  These have been built and I want to get these completed before the end of the year so I have a clean palette for at least one game going into 2025 – I won’t succeed but I do want to clear out these projects.

I am also going to ignore the existence of my unpainted gnome team and that way it doesn’t count in the outstanding to do list.

GW Star players to do:

Puffy Baconbreath

Rumbellow

Bryce Cambuel

Grashnak

Jordell Freshbreeze

Skitter Stab-Stab

Karina von Reisz

Ivan Deathshroud

Count Luthor

Third party miniatures:

Count Luthor

Giant

Rowana

I need to finish the team but there are other things in my blood bowl collection needing to be sorted.  This includes a gnome team, various star players – both GW and third party, and a giant.

With the exception of the gnomes, I have included images of what needs sorting.  Some stuff does need building as you can see from the forgeworld models.

A few images just showing what I have done so far.  As can be seen they are at various levels of completeness.

Simply going to do a blood bowl team.  The new Chaos Dwarfs from Games Workshop have been picked up along with the additional star players, and bull centaurs.

The first models

1. I painted up the bull centaurs and the star player as some test pieces

I kept it reasonably simple but think that the scheme turned out alright.
