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.

Warpfire Wanderers More Basecoating and Shading

Here are the next two.

Skin:  VMC Red/Beige + VMC Hull Red + VMC Car. Red 2:tip:tip, Citadel Car. Crimson
Fur:  VMC Hull Red + VMC Flat Brown 2:1, Citadel Car. Crimson
Claw:  Wet blend  VMC Red/Beige + VMC Car. Red + P3 Khador Red Highlight + VMC Hull Red, Citadel Car. Crimson

Skin:  VMC Medium Flesh + VMC Black/Grey 2:1, Citadel Nuln Oil
Fur:  VMC Black/Grey + VMC Ger. Camo Beige 2:tip, Citadel Ag. Earth

Cloth, armor, leather, and claws the same as before.  Couple mess ups to be corrected.

Warpfire Wanderers Basecoat and Shade

I finally got some time to put toward my team.  I did the basecoat and washes on Snachit Quikk, number 1 thrower with agility 4 and big hand.

This miniature is painted a lot like my test model that I didn't care for.  The small things that made the difference for me was muting the flesh and fur a little and the orange areas change.

Cloth: VMC Royal Purple + VMC Hull Red 1:1, Citadel Druchii Violet Shade

Metal: P3 Khador Red Highlight + VMC Hull Red 3:Tip. Citadel Reikland Flesh Shade

Flesh: VMC Medium Flesh Tone + VMC Dark Sea Blue 3:tip, Citadel Reikland Flesh Shade

Fur:  VMC Flat Brown + VMC Off-White 3:2, Citadel Agrax Earth Shade

Leather and Claws: Citadel Dryad Bark

The little tab on his elbow pad is flash I missed, I'll fix it.

Blood Bowl Legends Cup - Logo Work

Here are some logo designs I made for the Wanderers.  I think throwing a little green to accent the orange and purple helps them pop.

Shield

Skaven Font

Main Logo

The Flame

I intend to work some of these designs into the mobile locker room and/or the 3D dugout I'm making for the team.  I am hoping to have the team prepped for painting by this weekend.  I need to get busy on greenstuff for this team and building my AoS stuff.  My cars have had other ideas though and think I should be working on them instead.

Blood Bowl Legends Cup - The Test

I painted up a test model for the Warpfire Wanderers over the weekend to see if the color scheme I had in my head would work.  The majority of the teams have their team colors laid out in the existing fluff, but I have one of two teams with unknown colors in this tournament.

Through suggestions made by the other coaches in the tourney and thoughts I had, I decided to go with a dark purple and orange scheme.  Fans of American college football think Clemson.  I also tried out zenithal (sp?) priming for the first time.

It really helps the details stand out so I will continue to do it.  I was just putting base colors on for the test so I didn't use this style of priming to its full potential.

Test Model:
Cloth and leather - VMC Hull Red and VMC Royal Violet, 1:1
Metal - Citadel Dwarf Bronze
Skin - Citadel Ratskin Flesh
Fur - VMC Flat Brown

1st test

Verdict?  PPPPPPPPPTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

The skin and fur are much too saturated.  The bronze is meh, not orange enough.  The purple turned out how I wanted it to.  His base broke so the picture isn't very good too.  This is the first time I've done a test model that I was this disappointed with.  Back to the drawing board.  I hope the next test works better.
