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!

Blood Bowl Goblin Fan (Carl)

 

Another model off the Work in Progress pile/queue. In this instance a Blood Bowl Goblin fan from waaaaay back in the olden days.

I spent far too long considering repainting him to blend his skin tones but eventually decided to just call it done and move on.

His scarf has the motivational message to “Go for it!” Which was old Blood Bowl speak for inviting the dice gods to laugh at you. Nowadays the process of ‘going for’ an extra square is called a Dash, maybe this is a cunning ploy by the writers to avoid the gaze of the dice gods. But Nuffle sees all.

His base has a bit of sprue to represent beer cans and a random bit of card painted as stadium detritus thrown by the hooligans at the back.

I’ve got two more fans to join him as reroll counters to finish, hopefully getting this guy finished will spur me on to complete his comrades.

Blood Bowl Goblins and Ball (Carl)

Another two Goblins for my Goblin Blood Bowl team, plus an old 3rd edition Ball.

The Hooligan is an old Blood Bowl Fan/Hooligan from (I think) 2nd edition Blood Bowl but I can't remember for sure (had them soooo long). I've got three others WiP on my painting desk that I'll be using for Re-Roll markers.

I've now just got four more regular Goblins and a Chainsaw Loonie to finish and that'll be the team complete.

I've painted the Hooligan with a slightly different base to the main team as I wanted to make the visual connection with the concept of a fan running onto the field to give someone a kicking.

Blood Bowl Goblin Bomma (Carl)

The slow progression of my Goblin Blood Bowl team continues with the addition of the Goblin Bomma.

3rd edition model from the 90s. Really enjoying putting this team together even with it taking an age to complete.

Blood Bowl Goblin Pogoer (Carl)

A month after the last completed miniature.. Good grief. What a slow pace. But it's here!

Another addition to my Blood Bowl Goblin team, in this case a Pogoer. I foresee his job will be primary ball carrier from kickoffs.

A repaint/paint over of Scrappa Sorehead from my old Deff Skwadd Orc team into his new team colours as Orcs no longer get the weapons and madcap gobbo stuff on their team.

Warlords of Erehwon - Troll (Nick)

Another change of tack from me, all part of the joys of 'paint on brush' every day - this time a fantasy troll from Macrocosm and pure coincidence that it follows on immediately after Carl's Blood Bowl troll!
This chap was part of a bargain bag job lot I picked up at the last Salute to take place almost 2 years ago now, before the COVID pandemic intervened.

Mainly Citadel Contrast Paints again, with additional acrylics and inks for the details... in fact the skin colour is just Gryph-Charger Grey over white primer so quite quick overall which isn't a bad thing when I've another fourteen of them to do!

Originally heading for a goblin warband full of gribblies in Warlords of Erehwon from Warlord Games that I helped to playtest with the author Rick Priestly, but could easily see service in SAGA: Age of Magic from Studio Tomahawk, Dragon Rampant (a fantasy version of Lion Rampant) by Osprey Publishing, maybe even some large battle games like Oathmark, again by Osprey Publishing or Kings of War by Mantic Games.
