Blood Bowl Woodland Fox (Carl)

Another completion posted on the same day!!

You can tell I had a few needing just their bases finishing.

This is a Woodland Fox for my Blood Bowl Gnome team. I really enjoyed painting him, it was pretty quick to do and I’m happy with the final result.

Completion number 18 for the year.

Blood Bowl Goblin (Carl)

This little fella has been waiting ages for me to finish him. Literally a 5 minute job and scenic scatter on the base. But somehow I kept leaving it.

Anyway, he’s one of the modern Goblin sculpts for Blood Bowl by Games Workshop. I needed a couple of Goblin replacements for my Orc team Da Deff Skwadd. The existing minis I had in the team have been transferred to my Goblin team along with the Troll. So there’s another Goblin and Troll currently in progress for Da Deff Skwadd too.

This one is completion number 17 for the year!

More Blood Bowl Gnomes! (Carl)

After a few weeks gap I’ve managed to get a couple more of the Gnomes finished towards my Blood Bowl Gnome team.

I’m still a bit undecided about my theme/concept for these. I think it’s the contrast paints I used to base them.

Ork Flesh and Snakebite Leather have proved to be a bit darker than I intended the end result to be.

I’m hoping my basing will brighten the overall look of the full team when it’s finished.

These take my completions to 16 this year.

Blood Bowl Gnome (Carl)

Another Blood Bowl finish! This time it’s a Gnome.

I considered using a traditional gnome colour scheme (garden variety) or even a Smurf colour scheme but in the end I rejected both of those in favour of an experiment.

I’ve leaned into the woodland spirit aspect of the Gnomes with my paint scheme, going for a Green Man vibe. In the Blood Bowl setting the Gnomes are tricksters often playing practical jokes on those that travel through their realms. So I adopted a gnome-in-the-woodland-camouflage colourway.

It’s totally darker than I intended but I’m committed now. I’ve applied the same brown and green contrast paints on all the minis at the same time, before going in to start to finish each one.

I still like him. Plus… he’s completion number 14!

Human Bright Crusaders Blood Bowl Team (Carl)

It’s been the best part of 7 months since my last entry here! My word that’s a long time without completions. Thinking about it I have finished another lizardman warrior over the course of the year but forgot to take a photo. Anyway…

Here is the completed (for now) Bright Crusaders human Blood Bowl team. I’ll add another Thrower at some point but these are the main bunch of players.

I’ve used the team uniform colours from (I think) the second edition of the game rather than the current blue and white the GW in-house team is painted in.

Overall I’m happy with these. The freehand is a bit wobbly but then I’m painting in fits and starts so not really getting sustained practice in.

Total completions for the year so far… 13!

I’ve got some work to do if I want to hit 52+ by year end.
