Blood Bowl Orcs.... 1st Blitzer complete.

Hey All

Bluddtoof here with an update on my progress on my Blood Bowl Orc team; The Badland Brutalisers!

I've now finished the first Blitzer, here's a few pics...

Really pleased with this, tried  a few new things; used some tamiya paints I'd not tried before, they have an almost oily texture, which I found odd as they're acrylics, but the clear yellow lent itself nicely to the almost lacquered finish on the armour. I rarely paint yellow as it's a pig! And I've put a bit more attention into the base, trying to colour match it to the Orc side of the game board.
This team are going on hold for a little while now as I want to get my recently arrived Dwarves up and running for the code boys 1st day of BB early next month. But once they're done I'll come back to the Orcs and hopefully we'll have gobbos and a troll on the horizon too by then.

As ever c & c welcome

Blood Bowl Orcs.............W.I.P.

Hi All

Bluddtoof ere with my first wip post on my Orcs for Blood Bowl!
I love Blood Bowl! So glad GW decided to re-release.
Here at The Code we're all well into this now with everyone frantically building, converting and painting a team for our first season!

I'm planning to collect and paint Orcs, Humans and Dwarves for starters, this should keep me busy for a bit. My Dwarf team arrived today and they're lovely models, but more on those in future posts.

For now some orcs......

That's the current state of the first Blitzer, currently working on the base, trying to match it to the Orc pitch...
I nearly used my usual Bluddtoof red, black and white colours but decided on something different. A while back I'd said to Doc I fancied painting a Blue army, I think we were discussing Mantics Warpath kick starter at the time. I saw this as an opportunity, with the Deathskull connection and I thought I'd go for the contrast of yellow armour playing on a Bad Moon connection too. Not decided on a team name yet or a logo but it'll come eventually I'm sure.

Here's a few pics of some of the previous steps I took when I remembered to, of the first 3 models to get some paint splatter...

Enjoying this as much because it's blood bowl as because it's a totally new colour scheme for me.

Anyhoo, more to come soon.
As ever C & C welcome.
