I decided to go with the red and yellow and painted their shoulder pads in those colours too.
The Goblins just got red trousers and yellow shirts or armor.

The rest of the armor was painted black.

Vallejo black metal was used to paint their bucklers and toe protectors and some other metal details. A few more details was all I could manage to paint last friday before the tournament match I contended yesterday.

The tournamnet was held in Varberg a city about one hour ride from where I live. First time ever playing the game for real. The people there was very nice and helped understand the rules and what was possible to do. I lost all my three matches but managed to do a touch down with my goblin that successfully was thrown by my trained troll. For that to happen I had to succed with series of succesfull rolls with the dice. Happily everything went well and I scored one touchdown.

Recently I was invited to a small tournament of Blood Bowl in a nearby city.
As I really never played except in the computer game, I had to paint a team that was somewhat easy to play with.
I had already built and primed the figures for the 2nd season edition, and choosed to use the Black orcs including the Star Player figure and the troll.

As I only had done black primer before, I added a layer of grey and then white in a typical zenithal style.

I then gave them all a wash with Nuln oil and dry brushed them with white just to pick out details.

I tried different greens on the goblins.

Then both the orcs and goblins got different green colours.

The troll got a blueish colour with a lighter colour on his tummy and arms and legs.
I will dry brush with a slightly lighter colour later.

Just to see how it looked, I painted the trousers in red and yellow.

I painted three of them with leather colour on their straps and gloves. I will proceed doing the same on the other ones later.

I’m trying to keep the colour scheme simple and consistant within the team.

This is just a quick update to show my solution to some of my PE problems.
I cut two plastic strips in the same length as the PE part and glued them in place.
I also figured a solution for the other part and folded it as good as possible.

I glued the hatches and will paint the periscopes and add them later.
Some more etch was added, but there’s more to do.

Next I’ll try and fold and glue the lamp guards.
