I deliberated hard over how to paint my Humans, what colours pick and which themes to go for. He was cheap, he was plastic and he added so much more fun and character to the team 5 – how could I not? Learn from your mistakes and move on, right 4? I learned of the RPG-lite nature of League Play – and thus the importance of having unique, easy-to-identify individuals on the pitch. I was halfway through the painting process before I started reading the rules manual. I’ll admit right here and now that I didn’t put too much thought into the assembly I clipped away at the pair of identical frames and assembled all 12 players exactly as the instruction booklet uh. Nothing for it but to crack on with it, then. So here I was, with 12 Humans and 12 Orcs to paint before get through before I could even make a start work on the team that I personally wanted to play. Jumping back to early 2017, there I was with my very own copy of Blood Bowl 2016, and – while I really wanted to get onto some Skaven – I just couldn’t bring myself just to buy a third team without painting the miniatures in the core set first 3. In fact, here’s an updated photograph of the complete roster:īut my Skaven – as fragile as they are formidible – aren’t exactly DA ‘ARDEST BOYZ IN DA LEAGUE, so let’s get back on track. This is about as complete as the team gets until ForgeWorld release some Cheerleaders for them (I really can’t wait to see those). They’ve been my go-to team for a long time now, and over the past year I’ve even managed to fill in the gaps in my collection – Hakflem Skuttlespike and a Rat Ogre. I also painted up Glart – simply because I couldn’t resist the sculpt. Wanting to take advantage of the availability of the Booster 2, I focussed on building the core of my own team and put together enough miniatures to fill out a whole roster with useful players – 4 Gutter Runners, 2 Throwers, 6 Linemen and 2 Blitzers – with several subtle little head/weapon swaps and/or tail/arm reposes to ensure every team member was unique. And so, inevitably, my Skaven Team came to fruition – which I wrote about just over a year ago. It didn’t hurt that the range was so well supported at the time either – with two awesome looking Star Players, a serviceable Big Guy, and a Booster pack with alternate sculpts for the Blitzer and Gutter Runners. What I really wanted to build, paint and play were Skaven – they were a personal favourite race of mine from the lore of Warhammer, and I liked their quick and disposable style of play. Humans were a little vanilla for my tastes, and I’d already had my fill of Orruks from Shadespire in December. The miniatures were – for a change of pace 1 – sort of an afterthought. Being new to the game, I’d asked for this set primarily for the game components themselves – the rulebook, pitch, dugouts, dice, tokens, and so on. I'm always happy to increase my collection.Back in early 2018, I started working on my copy of the Blood Bowl core game, having just received one from my other half and mother-in-law for Christmas 2017. I'll try to keep the site updated, so when you have any Tournament figure which is missing or you have additional images from painted figures please contact me. Some are still available from different sources like Impact!, Greebo, Willy and so on for example. The only exception so far is the "Pumpkinhead 2008" he is permanent available by Impact!.
