Need suggestions for miniatures (GW or 3rd party) & painter

Post by Indigo »

Morning chaps. I've been out of the BB loop for quite a while now and looking to make a return with a fresh new team. I've always liked humans and think the last iteration of GW models were great. Are they still available/in production? Also tempted by amazons, Orc and dwarf. Just point me at them!

I'm also really interested to see what 3rd party ones are out there but I don't even know where to start, the alternate mini scene has exploded!

Any tips for human team models in the main, with Amazon/Orc/dwarf options getting you bonus brownie points?

And while we are here, recommendations for someone to paint them? Looking for top end painters and have a budget to match.

All Blood Bowl is no longer produced/available from GW.

The last set of GW humans (5th edition) had a very short run before game support ended, so they tend to fetch a particularly high price these days on e.g. ebay.

Fortunately, as you say, the third party mini scene is ever-growing, so there's plenty of alternatives out there.

Willy miniatures are popular and just released a Human team.

My personal picks for Dwarf and Amazon team are Impact's Amazons and Iron Golem's Dwarfs.

Rolljordan currently have a Kickstarter ongoing for a nice-looking Orc team.

I'd maybe recommend browsing a stockist such as http://www.comixininos.com/ or https://www.tritex-games.co.uk/ to get an idea of the style and pricing of various companies and find what suits you.

No set release date yet, but there's also a new Blood Bowl boxset on the way from GW, with new Orc and Human miniatures, and a Dwarf team also in the works.
