This Is Not a Test - Well... Actually

I've spent the last, I don't know how long, working on Blood Bowl stuff.  We're a week removed from Chaos Cup 2017 and I've turned my attention to a game I've never played before.  I've watched a couple videos on the game and I'm very intrigued.  I went on a painting spree to get some stuff playable so I can get some practice games in.  Randroid is going to show me the game and that motivated me to get a lot of painting and prep done.

This is the idea I had:

This is The Walking Dead - Scenery Boaster:

Paint thrown on things:

Painted up 8 guys.  They're just basecoated and shaded.  I will be highlighting them and adding stuff to their bases.  The barriers and rubble piles were primed then painted with a dark brown.  Then I dry-brushed some light brown just to make stuff standout. There are a lot of details that need to be picked out but it's usable.  I just threw some color on the cars too (they're not close to being finished).  The trucks are just primed.

I have a few more scenery pieces that aren't built yet but I'll get to them soon.  We are fast approaching "no priming time" here in Michigan, so I'll be doing a lot of building and priming for a while.

Congratulation

Randroid won two Chaotic Brush awards at Chaos Cup 2017!  Best Theme and Fan Favorite (appropriate for the Greenboyz as they always have plus two fame)!  He also picked up some new Goblin fans for his Greenboyz. Great Job.  Check Out, Drinkin' and Modelin' - He'll post more pics of the team I'm sure.  I know he put a lot of work into them and they're awesome.

No pics here, but hey, I'm a terrible picture taker so I wouldn't do 'em justice.  Congratulations again!

Chaos Cup Legacy 2017

I painted up a troll for the team.  Blues and Purples for the skin; green and orange for the "uniform."

Done in two hours including drying time.  Not terrible.  Getting quicker.

Introducing the Warpfire Wanderers

Phew!

I wasn’t sure the team would be finished in time.  As with most that are in this tournament, this will be a work in progress.  Things never turn out in real life the way I see them in my head, but all in all, I’m happy with their current states.  Here are the players and staff:

#1 – Snatchit Quikk

#2 – Rattagat Bruxt

#3 – Skritter the Leaper

#4 – Furrut Ringtail

#5 – Morb Weazle

#6 – Kreet Funglefoot

#7 – Hrut Hornspike

#8 – Rutch Snaketail

#9 – Rosvin Ratz

#10 – ‘Hideous’ Hakk Frottlespit

#11 – Vermin Valdech

#12 – Krunt Blackfoot

Assistant Coach – Reek Nosebiter

Apothecary -  Dr. Skitter Hisonvurj

Cheerleaders – (re-roll counters) 

Now come the extras.  The locker room doubles as a team carrying case.  It’s a steel cake pan and therefore the magnets in the player, coach, and cheerleader bases hold them in place.  Dr. Hisonvurj has a work bench to make his warpstone concoctions.  The players gather near the benches to listen to Reek’s pregame speeches.

The dugout is a place to put all the markers, reserves, knock-outs, and casualties.  It’s supposed to look like a sewer system.  The “pipes” are random pvc things I had laying around.

Dugout – The Sewer

I used random bitz and bobs to give things more of a Skaven flare.  Thanks to Randroid for allowing me to use a lot of bitz he had.  The rat-ball is magnetized as well as the random mutation markers.

Rats, Flare, and Markers

This project has been a ton of fun!  I’ll continue to work on it for future events.  I plan on filling out the runners and rat ogre so I can play other tournaments with a full team.   Constant WIP.
