Hahaha, you should see the state of the walls in the spare room. Up the scale a bit and I reckon a toddler with a box of crayons could do a better job!

Seriously though, cheers fellas. I think I just went up about three hat sizes :lol:

Nothing super fancy, but it was the first team I painted in about 10 years. I went with New York Jets colors (kind of) so they are called the New Yorik Hex...

here is the third team I painted after a near 10 year break. color scheme shamelessly borrowed from j_bone, and not done nearly as well as his.

again, nothing too fancy, but it did manage to net me this thing... somehow...

I'm pretty new to these forums and I have to admit, I haven't played BB in quite a while now.
I really enjoyed seeing all these wonderful teams and though I've never been a good painter myself, I still wanna share some of my teams with you.

NORSE - Middenheim Devastators
Image
Click on the image for a larger version!

These have (obviously) been converted from WHFB Chaos Barbarians.
I just love converted teams!
The two guys on the far left and right stand in for the Ulfs because I never got some decent looking Werebears.
And since I don't have people to play with, it doesn't matter anyway.

CHAOS DWARVES - Beloved of Khorne
Image
Click on the image for a larger version!

Again converted from WHFB Chaos.
Dwarves are just Chaos Warriors with shortened legs.
Centaurs are horses with Warrior torsos instead of heads.
Hobgoblins are just Night Goblins.

Hope you enjoyed them, maybe I'll take some more pics some time.

Oh, and please ignore any mistakes, I'm not a native english speaker.

After forgiving you for playing Norse, I must say the conversions are quite nice, very dynamic and the Ulfs are excellent substitutes....

I especially like the skin work.... Human skin is always trouble for me.... The footballs... well....

Overall very nice work! Hope you find opponents soon....

Let me guess...
Somehow I got a feeling you don't like the Norsca.
Dunno why... :wink:

You probably like the skinwork because you can't see it properly.
On skin, I mostly do some very "dirty" drybrushing.
Dark base, lighter brushing, that's it.

Concerning the footballs...
Well, turns out I'm not only an awful painter but an awful sculptor too! :D

I'm an old hobbyist with a staunch interest in game balance....

You can research my name and read my gaming manifesto if you like.....

And, if you are open minded enough, with a little paint we can turn most of those minis into undead.... :wink:

Just glad you took time to share.... :D

Now, this is where we differ.
I'm not very competitive and I enjoy a terrible loss just as a glorious win, as long as my opponent was fair, good natured and the game was fun from start to end.
I don't care about winning as much as I should, I know.
I'm just playing games for fun

Some more minis:

CHAOS - Cronngoth Destroyers

Now that I see them close up in a picture, I did a very poor job of cleaning up the minis. :(
Oh well, as long as they look okay on the board... :orc:

Sorry for the double post but with this, we're through, I promise! :orc:

ORC - Moshintown Greenskins
Image
Click on the image for a larger version!

These have been converted from mostly WH40K orcs.
Orcs were my first team ever and I still like to play them to the day.
Oh, my opponent still remebers that last turn lineman-to-lineman long bomb into the endzone to win 3-2 against his high elves... :orc:
Black orcs are with faceguards, Blitzers have spiky shoulders.

WOODELF - Thassian Branchdancers
Image
Click on the image for a larger version!

I had to have one of those when I saw my trusty orcs being beaten to pulp in a tournament.
It was on one of the Bembel Bowls in Frankfurt.
But, I have to admit, I never mastered the art of playing those low AV, easy-to-break teams.
(Aside that one time when I forced a tie out of orcs with halflings! :o )

So, that's it for my painted teams.
I'm really looking forward to your opinions.

Because they came with the minis.
WHFB has square bases and it doesn't really matter, does it?

Also, we used to turn each player 180° when he has made his move, to mark him as moved.
Easier to determine the direction with square bases, but that was just a side effect.
