Hi all,
this is the 4th and final installment of my collection. This is where things get interesting, because these are the 3 BBRC cleared but yet unoffical teams, as
well as the 3 house rule teams used in my current league.

Image
Twisted Souls
Chaos Pact team, based on the 2nd ed. chaos players. 12 marauders were painted by Frederik Rønn, and I painted the rest (though the mino was bought
part-painted on ebay). A long-legged marauder is subbing as the skaven, and aanother is subbing as the dark elf.

Image
Spawn
Fortunately for me, we've used homemade rules for slann teams as far back as 1996, where ancient WFB slann models could still be purchased from GW
mail order. Painted as a team effort by me, Jakob Lærkes and Michael Werliin - inspired by colourful poisonous frogs. Kroxigor bought half painted on
ebay much later.

Image
Wicked Alliance
I already had both a skaven and a goblin team, so I wanted to use different minis for my creepers team. I also wanted a theme uniting the allies - and
found it when I bought the painted plastic night gobbos on ebay. I then bought some plastic plaguemonks, which paintedfigs.com painted to match. The
warptroll is from Heresy, and was painted by me.

Image
Force Majeure
I originally had a Bretonnian team converted from WFB knights and militiamen - but after discussion on the internet, I wanted a team that looked
more Blood Bowl and less army. The 3rd ed. human team combined with 3rd ed. thralls (with dirty and rusty kit) serves as a pretty good proxy. The team
was painted by oldguardpainters.com.

Code: Select all

0-16 40K Linemen  6327 fend                    G
0-4  70K Yeomen   6338 wrestle                 GS
0-4 120K Blitzers 8338 block, dauntless, catch GS
60K Rerolls. No big guy.
Image
Dark Pact
Daemon team, which my old league has been using for years and years. WFB miniatures and weapon snips. The team is very worn, but that's what happen
when you lend them to 3 different (and rather careless coaches).

Code: Select all

0-4 70K Plaguebearers 5417 Foul Appearance        GM
0-4 70K Bloodletters  6417 Horns                  GSM
0-4 70K Daemonettes   7337 Claw, Gaze, No Hands   GAM
0-4 70K Horrors       7237 Extra Arms, Regenerate GPM
70K Rerolls. No Big Guy. Only Horrors don't need doubles to take mutations.
Image
Guilty Pleasures
Our Tilean team, inspired by the Tilean merchant princess from the Dogs of War WFB army. The team was painted by me, but for minis I gave the Tilean
team a white slavery twist. The linemen are the slavers, and the positionals are lovely ivory beauties. Most of these are from Phil's Phigs, but the amazon,
the ogre, Zara and the dwarfs are GW models

Code: Select all

0-16 50K Linemen 6337 Sure Hands G
500K --- Allies  **** *          * (Elf, Dwarf, Norse, Amazon, Human)
80K rerolls.
The team is allowed to spend a maximum of 500K on players or mercenaries (but no journeymen) from the allied
team lists. However, no duplicates may be bought.

Hi Rabid,
yup, those are gone.

A few years ago I arranged the BB tournament at an official GW tournament in Denmark. Met some GW minion, who said he'd love to try to create new molds from my old minis, but that he'd have to get back to me after the convention.... Never heard from him again :roll:

Cheers
Martin
