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.

Locker room –

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.

Warpfire Wanderers -The Twelve

I see the light at the end of the tunnel.  The twelve players are now basecoated.  In the past I listed specifically what colors were painted for each guy but now I think I'll just add that information when it produces a result I really like.  Here are the players:

Throwers:

#1 Snatchit Quikk

 Big hand

#4 Furrut Ringtail

Little to no fur, sores attempting to show Foul Appearance

Blitzers:

#2 Rattagat Bruxt

 Claw, Reddish fur and skin

#8 Rutch Snaketail

Tried to make his tail look like a snake, put snake on his base to show Prehensile Tail

Gutter Runners:

#3 Skritter the Leaper

 Very long legs, added cape, hood and dagger

#7 Hrut Hornspike

Added horns and dagger

Linerats:

#6 Kreet Funglefoot

Green stuff tentacles

#10 "Hideous" Hakk Frottlespit

 Greenish skin and fur, pile of "poop" behind him to show Disturbing Presence

#9 Rosvin Ratz

Two-heads, albino fur

#11 Vermin Valdech

 Nothing special he just has Block

#5 Morb Weazle

Extra arms

not individually pictured, Krut Blackfoot.  He doesn't like people getting too close to his blackened foot.  Fend.  Left most linerat in the group photo.

Warpfire Wanderers - Finishing Up Modeling

This weekend I did a crash session of model building.  I finished building and most of the green stuffing for the Wanderers.  Here they are:

Mutated Linerats

Yes, the guy on the back left has poop on his base.  Back right has tentacles.  The front rat has two heads.

Thrower and Gutter Runners

Back left is a Gutter Runner with horns.  Back right is a Gutter Runner with very long legs.  He is a linerat mutant model with a cape, hood, and dagger added to make it a Gutter Runner.  The front player is a thrower with sores added because of his warpstone usage.

Blitzer

This blitzer's name is Snaketail, I tried to give his tail a cobra head but it turned out terribly.  I decided just to give him a greenstuff snake on his base.

Other Mutations

The team has a special pre-kickoff chart, and one of the rolls makes you give a mutation to a random player.  These are things to add to the bases to signify what mutation they are getting.  I'll probably make a few more.

Cheerleaders

Three lady cheerleaders and two guy cheerleaders.

Apothecary

Skitter Hisonvurj, new apothecary.  Also he's the team's dealer.

I plan on getting these primed and basecoated this week.  The team/family should be 19 rats.  The only piece I haven't included yet is Reek Nosebiter the assistant coach.

Warpfire Wanderers Dugout and A Room for 12 Plus - Part 1

I'm trying to come up with some extra "flair" for my Blood Bowl Legends Cup team.  I think I finally have my team colors down so now onto some extras.

3D dugout ideas:

Items used:  shoe box, paper towel roll, toilet paper rolls, doll house brick sheets, foam core, mdf board, glue, two sided tape, and a blade.

Nothing is glued down.  I only used the blue tack so the walls would stand for the picture.  The plan is for the counter area to be on the top.

Locker room/Carry case

One of my ideas is to create and carry case that will double as a locker room of sorts for the Wanderers.  I often draw up my ideas on ms paint, yeah I know classy, but this project is more stream of consciousness.  regardless, here's a starter drawing.

You can really see it right?  Anyhow, I've got some ideas for the inside too.  Here it is now.

I used this for the Dwarfs of Anarchy team I made a while ago.  I sold that team so I'm reusing the case.
