Until then, I've got to finish painting these, as well as the remaining 8 or so players on my roster, convert a coach (an Orky Vince Lombardi, of course), a few fans, and decide on a team name. This Friday will be our first chance to get an actual game in at the Battle Bunker during their specialist games friday. I plan to max out on 4 of these boyz as soon as possible.Įvan is currently a little more than half-way through converting his Chaos team and they're looking really great. Here's a WIP of my first Black Orc Blocker. I further represented this by making him number 75 after the Green Bay offensive lineman, Bulaga, who leads the team with his stupid false-start/offsides/holding fouls. ![]() He's a sneaky git, pulling a hidden blade from beneath his shoulder pad for some fouling action. This is my first Lineman, I've made two but with the roster I'm considering now may only need one. I used thin strips of plasticard across the helmets to make the old school facemasks. This is my 2nd Blitzer, and favorite model that I've converted thus far. I had a metric ton of chaos spiky vehicle bits and got the long points by cutting off the very tips of the spikes. If you look closely at his right foot in this shot you can see the cleats that I added to the bottom of his shoe. The green lines on the helmet and pants need one more coat, but I'm really happy with the colors overall. This way I'd be able to throw in some really characterful references to the franchise while making the connections abstract enough to still make the team a viable fantasy-world sports team. I wanted yellow armored Orcs, and after thinking about yellow armor and green skin I couldn't help but make them modeled after my beloved Packers. ![]() I knew that I wanted to do something bright and sporty for my first blood bowl team as everything that I've painted in the past has been very dark and gritty. I'm not a die-hard sports fan by any means, but having hailed from Wisconsin I'm a huge Packer fan, it comes with the territory. I even bought the Blood Bowl Xbox game to help me nail down the basics before I get into the GW league (I know this isn't the version to be playing but I'm on a mac computer, and for only $15 I've already gotten more than my money's worth). ![]() I've printed and bound a copy of the living rulebook, ordered a pitch on ebay, and have spent every second of my hobby time working on my Green Bay Packer themed Orc team. As I've said before I have become hooked on Blood Bowl, devouring every podcast, forum post, and article on the game that I can find. Since my last post, many moons ago I have been having more fun than I've ever had with miniatures converting and painting an Orc Blood Bowl team.
