Leaning towards Thunder valley for the heavy armor and cool jaw helmets on those models. Not sure if the next brute squat will be thunder valley greenskinz or Beastsnagga boys. Need to finish painting, add some orkish tattoos, and I'll have a nice little unit of Fat Brutes for variety in my ironjawz. To wit, heres what the armour plates on my Blood Bowl Orcs look before and. picture 1: Orruk Brutes with Jagged Gore hackas, Picture 2: Brute Boss with Choppa, Brute with Gore-Choppa, and Orruk Warchanter with drum set. converting sessions were always a shining beacon of finally getting stuff done. Im thinking of building another sloggoth conversion they would work great for.Ĭurrent Works in progress. As for the extra gobbos, I'm sure you can use them for crew on another conversion. Could maybe be Hobgrots.Īnyone got any conversions of the Thunder Valley greenskinz they care to share? Been meaning to pick some up for a converted Brute unit for a while, and the brute stats in the new codex make them worthwhile to convert now. Shame that their gobbo's don't really have a warscroll in AoS, these are brilliant sculpts.

The Black Orcs from Blood Bowl also have quite a few good bits on them, if you use those for Ardboys or other orcs. I wonder how big he is, might make a fun proxy for a mawcrusha (though I bet its too small) Because nothing screams KILLABOSS ON GREAT GNASHTOOTH, like this guy. Im also tempted to convert the entire line into Kruelboys proxies. I'm tempted to use the leader as a mounted Orruk warboss. Lastly it would take a bit more work and some putty scultping to replace the mechanical parts, but the Orks on Squigs would make fun GoreGrunta proxies. They could also make some more savage-looking brutes for a mixed Ironjawz/bonesplitterz big waagh. The beastnsagga boys could easily be converted to wielding dual weapons, and make really solid Bonesplitterz, I'm thinking morboyz. OR I'm going to stick him on top of a mawcrusha. The Beastboss can work as is as a Megaboss, but it would make a fantastic replacement for a bonesplitters big boss. Orc Team Players blockers, orc 13 Comments.

They are key to a successful Orc team, find out why and how to develop them. Tempted to use them all as old greenskinz, but with the lack of future support for that faction, I guess ill stick to ironjawz/bonesplitters/kruelboyz Black Orc Blockers are one of the best value blockers in the game. Thier aesthetic matches my existing bonesplitters/ironjawz force better than the Kruelboyz, so any thoughts as to good conversion uses? Now, if I only could think up a name for the humans.So with the new Beastsnagga boys and Beastboss going up for preorder this comming weekend, I see some great models for conversion. Time to hit the pitch with some Black Orcs for Blood Bowl season 2 In this part we'll focus on painting the black orcs and paint some funky effects on their. So, there’s the base game squads finally done. I goggled about for a bird that would look neat to pattern the team after in that colorful manner I was wanting to try, while still being simple enough for my meager talents.

The inspiration for this team came from all of the avian iconography on the models and their transfer. If I expand this team to a larger 16 model BB squad, I would simply prime white. Truthfully, most of the work here was on applying several coats of white over my grey primer so the white contrast could work its devilry. It would also be my attempt at using the white contrast paint. With this side I decided to try something a bit more bold and colorful in the old style of the game. Blood Bowl is set in an alternate version of the Warhammer Fantasy. 1 The game was first released in 1986 and has been re-released in new editions since. I’ve painted 2-3 human squads over the years, but nothing I’ve ever been enamored with. Blood Bowl is a miniatures board game created by Jervis Johnson for the British games company Games Workshop as a parody of American football. Only having checks down the right forearm gives this version of the Blitz a bit more uniformity than their original colors had. I was initially thinking I would include etching and chip damage to the black parts of their armour, but I’ve sort of taken to the pure, clean look. Now, they’re ready for the pitch.įor the orc half of the BzB box, I’ve simply gone with my older 3rd edition model, Badland Blitz color scheme with a few slight tweaks for the newer 32mm models, such as less on the shoulder pads. My minis rule is basically ‘Play it Painted’, so these teams have sat in their locker rooms for awhile. Being the standard default teams in every edition of Blood Bowl, I’ve painted plenty so I’ve sort of drug my feet on getting their BzB versions done. However, I’ve played very little with the actual humans and orcs. At this point, I’ve played lots of Blitz Bowl.
