I've based the team now following some advice here in this thread :) I went for some dry swampish look (dry swamp?! does it exist?) Anyway, I sculpted some plants and painted them green/brown/yellow to make them look dry. I then glued some static grass in turfs and some longer straws. I also managed to take a team shot, not very sharp unfortunately, but for now at least :)

They look great as a team! For me, the 'swamp' bases look more desert-like. They look fine as is, but some darker patches and some small pools using water effects might enhance the swamp theme if you were so inclined!

Thanks! The swamp looks more like a desert I agree. I'll consider some of your advice with the pools and dark areas. Decisions decisions.... :)

Excellent idea, expertly achieved. (Puts the idea away for potential later use)

Thank you all! :D Really appreciate it!

I'll make troll but I don't know if I'll use it. Maybe I'll do a junior goblin team and use him there. Anyway I will use the Goblin king model from the Hobbit starter set. I'll modify the model to more of a warhammer look. I think he has a nice blood bowl pose though and is more "human" than the river trolls.

I started on the voodoo doll goblin but maybe I need the first one for the junior team :)

Thanks a lot again!

Yes, a troll is needed! :orc:

But use Willy's top hat Troll as a basis, it fits this team so well it that would be a shame not to!

Choices, choices! I will probably do more than one troll as I have decided to make a goblin team in the same fashion. A friende of mine inspired me to make an alligator. I think it's good since it breaks the colour scheme and gives some variation. I will probably make it from a kroxigor with a sculpted alligator head. I really want to make some progress with the greenstuffing skills :)
