MAGnets! Get yer MAGnets here!
As you can see in the photo above, I’ve obtained a Blood Bowl ball. I added magnets to the ball, and to every playable model in the Konquata Monitors and Grimfang Scrappaz! Now I’ll never have to awkwardly balance a ball again.
As a bonus, I can play Blood Bowl and confound Juggalos at the same time!
Grimfang Scrappaz – Black Orc Blockers
These Black Orc Blockers were made from Black Reach Nobs and bits from the Nobs box.
Next: Troll! I’ve ordered Ripper Bolgrot, the special character Troll. I’ll add some plates and other metal bitz to make him fit in with the Scrappaz. Then they’ll be ready for play!
Grimfang Scrappaz – Linemen/Journeymen and another Goblin!
I had another Grot so I made my fourth Goblin. I also made four Orks that can be Linemen or Journeymen. I’m REALLY proud of the second from the right. Legs are Biker Legs (and so are solid and right next to each other) and the face is from the Grot sprue, a slaver head. I always hated that head, but it’s perfect for a palooka who’s begging for someone to hit him!
I’m also quite proud of the 2nd from the left. That’s a Slaver body with a head from the Boyz box, and the upraised arm is from the biker box (it previously held a chain). Good pose.
Now all I need is a Troll and some Black Orcs.
My initial build of the Grimfang Scrappaz is as follows:
-Troll
-2 Black Orc Blockers
-4 Blitzers
-2 Throwers
-2 Goblins
-2 Re-Rolls
-7 Fan Factor
Grimfang Scrappaz – Throwers!
Two throwers from the new Orc team, the Grimfang Scrappaz! These Orcs grew up in the ruins of the Mount Silverspear Dwarven mine. This reeking hole is the ground was “appropriated” by the warlord Grimfang, and has been the staging ground for the Silver Road wars. Enriched by the residual silver, and with a trove of ruined Dwarven equipment, the (bored) lads of Mount Grimfang put together a Blood Bowl team for excitement and glory! The Scrappaz coat themselves with sharp iron plates salvaged from the mining equipment, and often with added spikes. They have but one goal: SMASH OTHER TEAMS FOR FUN!
Blitzers!
Four new Blitzers for may as of yet un-named Orc Blood Bowl Team. Looking into a troll and some Black Orcs.
The start of something… Orky.
I’ve been wanting to start a 2nd Blood Bowl team so that I can show people how to play. Been putting it off. Then I was pawing through my Ork bitz, and found enough parts to make some Blood Bowl Goblins. All are from 40K Grot bits, the rightmost is the body with no arms, and a head from the Lootas box. The middle one is a body from the Warbikers box, normally hanging off a pole, with the feet re-positioned. The last uses a regular Grot with the feet bent so that he is bending forward as if ready to fly!
…now I need a name for the team.
Lansing Blood Bowl League
I have not had the pleasure of playing Blood Bowl for a while, as gas has been expensive and Lansing is far away. Now, however, I have a new job that takes me near Lansing anyway, so it’s the perfect excuse to get some Blood Bowl! Without further ado, here’s some of the Major Players in the Lansing Blood Bowl League.
First up is James, coach of Chaos United. James’ team is done in a Dipping style (see my posts about dipping here and here). The dark shading of the dip looks great on Chaos. James used plastic Gors and Chaos Warriors. The Minotaur is a non-GW mini which looks fantastic, and even survived a two story fall!
Phil (who declined to be photographed due to CIA involvement, presumably) routinely brings his beautifully painted Darkland Warriors, a Dark Elf team.
Alex here has gone all out, invoking Warhammer Fantasy backstory and bringing back the Dogs of War in style. Vespero’s Vendetta, with none other than Vespero himself present (the archinve model! SQUEE!) are an experienced, tough Human team.
Finally, Eric counters the every move of my team with his own, more experienced Lizardmen, the Thunder Lizards. Sadly without Dee Snyder, Savage Steve Holland, or bee-grenades, this team will still make you say: “When does the hurting stop?”
And now, the Konquata Monitors face off against Vespero’s Vendetta! Will they triumph?
No. Vespero 2/0. Oh darn. At least none of my guys got hurt or killed.
