Red's BloodBowl Log

[Red Skullz]

Got the minotaur painted and based:

Very happy with how he turned out!

The apotechary is ready for basecoat and paint:

Thought I`d give a salute to the big hat community with this painkiller-limb chopping fellow

R

[Cassarus]

I love the apotechary!

[Red Skullz]

Thanks mate Need to turn his hat upside down though, stuck it on the wrong way...

R

[Red Skullz]

Apotechary finished:

Added some sand to the "scalpel" and gloves just to simulate bone, gristle and what-not. Rather nice effect all in all but I feel that Nuffle will punish me for this Apotechary by never giving me good re-rolls...lol!

Got one of my contributions to our leagues Legacy team done:

Fairly BB-pitch friendly minotaur. He stands a bit taller than a normal ogre and I`ve magnetised his right arm in case of doubles and mutations.

Here are the prizes I`ve prepared for the Dungeonbowl we`re running in may:

I painted up the trophy different from how it normally looks like, wanted to show some of the cool details there. The wizard is a marker for the game-technical prize, he can only throw fireballs (as you might understand) and you need to field him in your staff to use him. This is why I gave both the trophy and the wizard a standard gassy base since these will be showcased/used in normal games.
The last prize and the only one that the winner will get to keep (the other two prizes are only kept until the next DB) is Morg`n`Thorg:

Still quite rough but he`s getting there! Plan is that i build and model him ready and then paint him up for the winner in his teams colours.

Then to cap it all off, here`s the next chaos dwarf mini I`m working on:

Zzharg Madeye! I didn`t use a lot of time on the armour on the torso as most will be hidden by the beard.

Great progress again! Your CD minotaur has turned out very nice (love the beard!) and the apothecary is a nice touch. I like where you're going on Morg, thats coming together nicely. Are you going to keep the pose similar to the current GW one?

[Red Skullz]

Thanks mate Yeah the mino is defo my next investment for the team as I`ve already bought the apotechary!
Not sure yet on Morg, but it would be fitting giving more or less the same pose as GWs just to show that it`s the same.

[Red Skullz]

Here`s the reason I haven`t had any frequent updates recently, been painting my DB pitch:

Endzone for home team (obviously), I would`ve loved to find some barrels that I could use in the reserves box, for waterboy services.


Some minis in there for scale.


A teleporter pad and one of the finished chests.


Just to show the theme for this pitch better, a part of the dungeon slowly being torn apart by lava.

[mdiscala]

Looks really good. The advertisements on the wall are hilarious.

[Red Skullz]

Thanks mate

The adverts are looted from a gent on TFF.com and they`re a must for the right vibe!

Here`s a quick pic of the markers, from left to right it`s the Re-roll, Touchdown and Turn marker:


Not the best pic but it shows the theme I wanted for them

Last weekend we had the first Dungeonbowl and it was a blast! I got into the finals but lost to a team with double TR compared to my lads, still very happy with the result as I was the only one with a rookie team Now one thing I`m not to happy about is that yet again I have that tiny margin against me and as I only have basher teams I thought I`d do something about that! So enter the Torpedo Vixens, a Dark Elf team themed towards female followers of Khaine. It was richy`s amazon testfig that gave me the idea, so after going through my bitz box I`ve found everything I need, but it will be a similar project as with the chaos dwarfs where I`ll need to greenstuff a lot!

My own laptop is still down but I`ll post up some pics as soon as I can

talast,
Red

[richy376]

Good stuff - I've never played Dungeonbowl but it sounds like fun. Congrats on getting to the final! Looking forward to seeing your take on the dark elves when your laptops back working.

[Red Skullz]

Dungeonbowl is great fun but next time I`ll be taking goblins I think! Secret weapons and fouling comes into it`s own in DB
Thanks! But when I got there you wouldn`t think I deserved it as I got a beating like you wouldn`t believe, all my luck just went straight out the window, even lost my 12 SPP bull centaur in that match since the apotechary was used to save the 5 SPP minotaur..
Still I got silver in their first cup and that ain`t bad

I`ve come quite far already on the Dark Elf team actually. Already got a testfig painted and even started greenstuffing two linemen so I probably should snap some pics and upload them at one of my friends before I get to far.

[Vinsanity]

Shucks about the Centaur, didn't deserve to die ever Congrats on silver ^^ Looking forward to those Dark Elves to compare them to mine, they will probably be much better than mine hehe

[Red Skullz]

Don`t have any lap-tops working at home at the moment...but a friend of mine snapped a pic of a custom Morg I made for the Dungeonbowl:


This was one of the prizes, quite happy with it all in all He`s exactly the same height as a standard ogre.

I`ve also made an all-female Dark Elf team, painted it and everything. I`ll try and get some pics and upload them as soon as possible! The current project I have is a custom Skaven team that will be the prize for the december cup I`m running.

[Red Skullz]

Here`s the Dark Elf team, the Vixen Torpedos:

I think I`ve been planning on doing an all female Dark Elves since I started with BB in 07 or something like that but I never found the bitz I wanted. This time it all went really fast and they came straight out of my bitz box.

Here`s a parts breakdown:

Witch Elf & Assasin & Runner:
(high hair & mohawk & throwing ball)
- Daemonette head and torso
- Dark Elf arms
- Eark Eldar legs

Blitzers:
(all with enclosed helmets)
- Dark Eldar helmeted heads
- Dark Elf torso and arms
- Dark Eldar legs

Line(wo)men:
- Dark Elf armoured heads and arms
- Daemonette torso
- Dark Eldar legs

Played two games with them so far and it`s been a blast

[klasalmroth]

Your stuff is looking good. Your chaos dwarves actually inspired me to start making my own chaos dwarf team.
I will put a link in my new project log to this page.
Cheers!

[Red Skullz]

Cheers mate and please do

[Red Skullz]

This is my newest team, pre-greenstuffing:


Skeletons:

BB human body with legs and head from the newest skeleton box. I think i want to do something with the three skellies with similar upper body pose.

Zombies:

Kit-bashing of what I had available. The paintjob will save these guys..

Ghouls:

These guys turned out great, fun with the mock-positionals.

pic limit..more in next post.
