Talk Fantasy Football

First time I bought any Confrontation minis was today. I purchaced some barbarian looking minis for a custom norse team I want to do, they look really good and so did all the other minis I looked at when I was at the store. The only thing was that I was under the impression that Confrontation minis were a little big in scale compared to BB minis (judging from the comments I've seen posted here), but the one I purchased looked a little smaller compared to the plastic maruaders and BB Borises I have. I was planning on using the Confrontation minis as blitzers, but will probably use them for catchers. The 2 BB Borises will be used a 2 of my blitzers, just wondering if anyone had any ideas of what I could use for the other 2 blitzers?

Hmmm. Which confrontation mini's did you buy?

A few blitzer suggestions:

- Ok I know that this is a set, and impractical, but the leader fig is awesome.....

Another cool fig that I used for my team is the original Warhammer quest Pit Fighter. And Worse comes to worse you can use the actual one horned Norse Blitzer from the GW team. Its my favourite GW fig of all time. Hope that helps.

Personally I always thought the rhino blitzer looked pretty daft.

Anyway, I guess I'll try converting what I got now and see how it turns out (or not).

He has a nickname in our league that wouldn't be appropriate for a family show.

They are normally, any chance of posting pics of the mini's you got and put em next to some normal BB mini's so we can see the size.

I bought a couple of Wolfen models a while ago and they are still ijn the bits box, as they are just huge. Also got a War Troll which is also huge but works as a ST6 Troll. if the barbarian models are reasonably sized then i'd be tempted to pick up a few if they are convertible

all confront minni's rulez!
french sculptor rulez!
fondu's minni's rulez!

McD,

I guess they're not smaller, just slighter built compared to the other minis (Boris obviously, but the marauders seem to be bigger through the chest and shoulders so look 'bigger', scale is actually ok), that's why I was thinking of using them for throwers and catchers. I guess I could do up a couple of the plastic marauders to look like blitzers, I could give them the fur cloaks.
