I had this box with figures for a Black orc team for quite a while and some time ago I decided to build them. They are resin 3D printed so not very much to build. Most of the work have been priming and then painting them. Here’s the finished team!
Sometime it’s just time to take a step back and decide that you’re finished with what you’re doing. At least that’s what I had to do with my Black Orc team.
Here they are in all their glory!
Here they’re doing a bit of Phil Collins dance moves! 🙂
I’m quite happy with how they turned out! 🙂
Next I’ll finish my Gnome team.
More details was painted, like theeth and horns on their masks.
The ghoul on Varag got some colour.
Their shoes was painted in white and red.
A lot of details was added here and there, getting closer to being finished.
I added some dirt, grass and black rim to their bases, and all the player got hand painted numbers.
Good enough to be called done, but as usual I found a few things I wanted to sort before taking the final reveal pics!
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.
I gave them all some black primer.
Then I did my usual zenithal primer trick.
I decided to use more or less the same colours. red, blue and green, on everyone. One some I painted the coat blue and hat red, and on the others I did it the other way around.
I painted their socks buff and started with a base skin colour.
I did some testing of the skin colours a friend recommended on one of the figures.
I think it turned out pretty good, so I’ll stick with that.
Still some more painting to do, but hopefully I’ll have a fully painted team soon.
I thought a team with gnomes could be fun to have.
I have no idea how they are to play with, but that could be a fun experience.
As all new kits they are pretty easy to build, but you have to be careful with some parts as they seem easy to break.
It took a few hours to build the first set of gnomes.
Using the optitional parts I build the other half of the team.
The only thing left is to prime and paint them. I plan to use typical garden gnome colours like blue, grey, green and red.
