Ripper Bolgot and others...

Post by Griff »

Woohoo! I've practically finished my Blood Bowl Troll!

See pics here!

I was thinking about converting his left hand so his first and third finger point upwards, y'know giving the Metal sign, throwing the ol' horns!!!

\m/

But I think I'll leave that for another project...

this is a good job but...

why the squre base?

I know that the figure comes with an square base, but round looks better in BB

your troll looks like mine!

You can get them at GW and most Hobby Stores. 40mm round bases are used in 40K ... and BB of course.

No idea why GW still keeps putting square ones into the BB blisters.

Very nice.

I've taken to putting my big guys on normal sized round bases. Tough sometimes, but so far they all fit, and it looks okay. Makes it easier to put them on the pitch, too.

Very nice skin is great, if you do replace the base i would give it a little more charcter standard flock is kinda boring. But Great job I really like it.

Thanks for the compliments guys!

I've only taken to putting flock on the bases just recently actually... so for the last six years or so my Skaven team just had plain green bases... I'll try and find those 40mm round bases tho! It is a pain in the bum for big guys with square bases when they have to fall over...

Awesome :D
My troll (sorry Orin: our troll!) is still in a closet somewhere, waiting to be painted. I just can't decide on the colour scheme... besides, there are over a hundred mini's in that closet, all waiting to be painted...

I hate when that happens, so I used to be very strict with myself, and not buy any new miniatures until I had painted all the ones I had already.
