BloodBowl Blog : Chaos Team 14/3/10

Slowly but surely I'm adding to the team, these ones are finished and there's quite a few more in various stages of painting to follow:







Secret weapons, coaching staff, another troll and some skaven still to come....

What is that thing on the trolls head?

These are some of the best BB teams I've seen. Awesome work and a great inspiration! Thumbs up! I might steal the NG idea at a later time. I love it when great conversions, great colour choices and superb painting skills comes together like this.

It's a helmet - from a LotR troll I believe - I'm sure it will look fine once it's painted......

[Overhamsteren]

I'm sure it will too.

Only asked because I bought the very same troll for my orc team and it needs a helmet.

Too bad it's LotR stuff, was hoping it was some barrel from an ogre kit or some such that I could scavenge from mates.

Had a pretty productive weekend and painted up all these guys for the Underworld team:





Some secret weapons:







And some of the coaching staff:



So almost done now, I think the colour scheme works really well (even though I hate painting yellow!) and the conversions came out ok..... Any comments or suggestions appreciated

[Axtklinge]

Wow...

Those look amasing!
And those convertions are very very cool!

Congrats!

Almost finished this team, here's another troll (this one's been converted a bit):




And a couple of albino skaven blitzers with extra heads and stuff:




And a couple of linerats with a thrower:


Just another thrower and a skaven stat player to go....

[cyagen]

I am not a fan of the new linerats for BB, but the albino blitzers are some of the nicest ones I've seen so far.

So after quite a bit of hard work on this team it's finally finished. I found it quite hard to do all the small conversions and keep going with a colour scheme that I didn't particularly enjoy painting onto 25 or so models! I now know there are much quicker colour recipes for yellow, even though this one looks quite effective.....

So the last two players:


(Quite like this conversion):


And the team in all it's glory:





So pretty happy how this lot turned out all in all. Now onto the next commissioned team, here's a WIp of the colour scheme:



More to follow......

So I'm really happy with how the colour scheme for this Chaos team is turning out and had a go at the minotaur. Sometimes it's just fun to paint a bigger model:







The blue skin seems to work pretty well with the purple and black. Any suggestions?

[zakspeed]

Yes, like the blue....
Maybe the silver could be a different colour - it sort of merges into the blue a bit on the shoulder pad. Not so much on the other elbow guards etc (maybe due to ratio of silver to black edging?).
Maybe a bronze to contrast a bit, or a pale metallic pink?
Something that stands out a bit more.....

Good advice, the client agrees with us both, so I've made a few adjustments to the armour to make it "jump" a bit more.

Here's an update of some beastmen and warriors for this team, first four beastmen:



And a couple of warriors (these look better IRL - I probably shouldn't have taken such a close close-up!):

This team's finally done, and I think looks pretty good and well unified with the colour scheme chosen by the client:









I've got quite a few more ideas for BloodBowl teams, some of which I've already started converting (I'm hopelessly addicted and love rummaging through my bitzbox) but will take a break from Bloodbowl for now as I focus on some Fantasy stuff........
