New Slann miniatures project?

[Pedda]

A league pack showed up in Berlin yesterday

[bound for glory]

I'm reaching the point in my Blood Bowl life where I have multiples of the same race...I'm not proud of this fact.

...There are teams that are so delicious, you just can't let them pass.
...Sometimes you just have to treat yourself and, hey, you still got the option of getting rid of a team or two...

Yes, to all the above. Currently have 80 teams after selling a dozen or so. When I first saw this team, I already had four Slann teams and told myself, "Nope, not another one." As it turned out after seeing all the cool minis, I ordered this team only minutes after it went live. Only a few months later purchased an OLD converted Warhammer Fantasy Slann team. Sometimes you have to splurge.

Don't feel bad, buddy. I own every slann team except that strange looking team from MANO DI PORCO, and I will break down and surely get those.

And 80 teams? I don't even know how many complete teams I own. Gotta be north of 125.

I can't wait to see the pictures of this team surface in different color schemes.

Still deciding on mine and I'm sure I'll keep waffling until the models are assembled and sprayed.

So far, my top three choices are:

Dark green with pale white/bone stomach, aka "Ralph Bakshi Gollum":


Amazingly tacky bright green, aka "Day-glo tree frog":


Or Down-to-earth, spotty toad, aka "Desert Camo":

[Norse]

poison tree frogs FTW!

[Regash]

Maybe mix those styles?
Desert Camo for the Big Croaker? Poison tree frogs for catchers? Standard Kermit style for linefrogs?

I'm also very undecided.
But since mine are not here yet...

I've seen pictures of Slann teams where each position has its own color. Most of those are fantastic paint jobs, each model looks fantastic and of course it makes it easy for the opponent to spot which figure is which position (often an issue with nonstandard teams).

But as a team, I hate that look. I think teams ought to look unified. I don't mind human-based teams with different hair or skin colors (such as my amazons), but for some reason the many different colored frogs never worked for me. Most Slann models have a lot of skin, so thematically speaking it's "part of the uniform" for me.

Maybe some will be lighter or darker than others, but all basically the same theme.

[Regash]

Don't forget, rolo, these frog aren't naked!
You still get to paint them in unified uniforms.
Just different skintones...

Frogs still navigating their way to my mailbox I guess

I guess the order in which these were shipped equals the order in which the perk manager mails came in, which places me about at the very end of the mailing list

[Regash]

Perk Manager?
There was a perk manager?!?

Oh god, I'm effed!

(I hope I only can't remember...)

I'm quite sure you mentioned sending in your perk manager some X pages ago in this thread

[Regash]

Then let's pray your recollections are better than mine!

Oh sure. Most of the time my long term memory lasts less then 5 minutes. My short term memory tries to play catch-up with the seconds dial on our kitchen clock. I would say you're good



In the meanwhile, empty mailbox

[rolo]

Must not panic ... must not panic ...

I promise not to panic until Regash gets his and mine still haven't arrived yet

(No worries JBone, they'll get here when they get here)
