Elfball Black Widows team - completed 29th July 2013

Hi All,

Long time no blogging so I thought I'd update you with my recently completed team. The models are from Shadowforge apart from the Naga which is from Impact Miniatures.

I've been using this team as Pro Elves in Bloodbowl, but need to finish a few more line elves before that's completed - I'm at the dangerous stage where I have enough painted to play with so there's a chance the remaing few will not be completed like in many of my other teams... let's hope I can be diciplined enough to 100% finish them.

They're not doing too badly in league play at the moment - I'm on 5 wins and 2 losses and 3rd place. I'll also be taking the team to the Thrudball in August so hopefully I'll get some good games out of them in the tournament setting too!

Bloodbowl Chaos Team - Work In Progress

Here's my Chaos team - they frst started getting painted back in around 2004 when I used them in a league at the local GW store. I've been using them in the Cakebowl League this season, and finally they're getting finished!

Here's the warriors - the 2 on the left were painted years ago, and the 2 on the right over the last couple of weeks... The main reason I delayed painting this team was because I was worried about whether I could get them to match.

And the Minotaur - I know he's not the most efficient use of TV, but the high ST and Mighty Blow do have their uses! I love the old 2nd Edition models as they fit nicely size wise. He's based on 30mm and was finished in the last couple of weeks

More pics to follow soon once I've got some more beastmen finished....

Gnoll Elfball Team - completed 12th October 2011

I finished my Elfball Gnoll team yesterday! I've not used them in the game yet, but hopefully soon :-)
The models are from Impact

High Elf Blood Bowl Team - Finished 2010

This is my High Elf team, called the Albion Avatars. I've used them in several leagues over the last few years, but only completed the painting in 2010! The models are the Games Workshop ones and the coach is a converted wizard (I swapped his hand holding a sword with one holding a ball instead)

Lizardman Blood Bowl Team - Finished 2003

This is the first Blood Bowl team I painted, back when I re-started the hobby from my school days and joined a league in the Swindon Games Workshop store. They are called the T'Kila Slammers when I use them. The models are from Games Workshop.

Orc Blood Bowl Team - finished March 2011

Here's my Orc team, which I got as a Christmas present last year and originally painted for use in the Swindon 2011 Elfball tournament where I picked up 3rd place. I completed painting the team after that and used them in the Cakebowl Blood Bowl league. The team was called B.F.A (Built for Attrition) and they lived up to the name in the wrong way suffering a string of casualties and deaths to key players. When I use them again, I'll be changing team names for sure. The models are from Neomics.

Dwarf Blood Bowl Team - finished 2005

Here's some pictures of my Dwarf team, which I used in the Bloodbowl grand tournament in Nottingham in 2005. I had a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses :-) I also used them for the Spiky Open in Reading in the same year, with a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses.

I did marginally better with them in Elfball, where I came 3rd 2010 Swindon Elfball tournament using them as Thunder Hammer Dwarves.

Elfball Desert Dogs - Finished Feb 2010

Here's another team from my back catalogue :-) This is the 2nd Elfball team I painted, which I originally ordered along with the game itself back in 2008.

I spent less time painting these, but I don't think they're too bad considering.

Chaos Dwarf Bloodbowl Team

I finished this team towards the end of 2010. I've had them assembled and undercoated for years and had only managed to paint a few when I used them last in a league. I stripped the painted ones and changed the colour scheme to something I was more happy with. I usually call this team the Blackwater Ravens when playing with them.

These models are from Games Workshop, with the Minotaur being an old 2nd Edition model.

I deviated from the standard orc green hobgoblin skin to go with something a little more palid to suit the underground life these guys are used to. The skin was painted with Desert Yellow, shaded with Devlan Mud then highlights re-applied with Desert Yellow up to Kommando Khaki.

Valkyrie Elfball Team - Finished 25th August

Here's the most recent thing I've finished painting. This is my Valkyrie team, called the Heimskringla Harriers. The models are sold by Impact Miniatures. I've been using this team in our local Elfball league, and they've been good fun to use. I also came 2nd place with them in the Bedford 2011 Elfball tournament!

At some point, I intend to add 2 Norse Werewolves, another Thrower and some more Midfielders in order to use this as either a Norse or Amazon team for Bloodbowl
