Hi, I am Korinth (which is actually my name)!
A few years back, studying computer science, I hooked up with some class mates playing blood bowl. Together we started a math/computer science campus league named Pole Axe after the campus site Polacks (-backen) which is pronounced similarly in Swedish. Being a complete newbie to the game I was adviced that playing Orcs might be a good introduction. I even painted a pair of them (very poorly) before I inherited a team from my GF's (who is now my wife) older brother. The inherited team was the Dark Elf team from which the Witch Elf in my avatar for this forum is taken. I enjoyed playing this new team so much that the other one got chucked away in a drawer and now resides in a cardboard container in the storage of our new apartment.
More recently, after my role playing group (at the local gaming store) disbanded we decided that we should try to get a BB league going. This time around I also want to learn how to paint my minis so that I don't have to play in shame. I also decided that I need to have a Dark Elf team that was actually painted by me. To say that I have no experience in miniatures would be a lie, but the only thing I had done so far was a touchup on the team I played, matching the colors on worn places, and a total refurbishment of their bases that previously was just painted flock.
I created an account here (before I created my account at talkfantasyfootball.org) mainly because I stumbled over this forum so many times in search of inspiration for painting, conversions and custom pitches that I figured this is the place to get creative suggestions, some motivation and proper critique.
If you are interested in following the progress of a total beginner/enthusiast on his way to expertise (hopefully), this is where I keep my Blood Bowl projects logged. There might be a few other board game miniatures along the way, but none planned at the moment of writing this.

I won't even go in to the list of players in my Orcs and Golblins teams until I am well on the way with these first three teams. They both need to be stripped and get a new paint job, probably some conversion as well...
This first post will be updated with progress colors [ red => in queue, yellow => begun, green => finished ] and the latest image per team. If you want more images, scan the log!
Cheers!
