Lead Under The Bed

I have started painting a warband for Frostgrave. I have chosen to go with a necromancer for my wizard. Necromancer I have tried to portray him as being physically weak but still powerful. Severed head His apprentice is supposed to look slightly insane. Apprentice The rat on his shoulder is offering advice. Pet rat You need a zombie miniature if you go with the Raise Zombie spell so I combined parts from the Death Cultist's sprue with the regular soldier's sprue. Zombie The miniatures are from North Star Military Figures and a real joy to paint.

There were never hobgoblins in 2 nd edition Blood Bowl so you would have to use something else if you wanted to use the chaos dwarfs from thar era. I went with 1 st  edition orcs back when I did my chaos dwarfs , but I was never satisfied with the faces. So I tried to sculpt my own face. Hobgoblin I was aiming for a more oriental look in line with the Citadel AD&D hobgoblins . I don't know whether I'll be doing more, but it was a fun little project.

I've decided to play underworld denizens in an upcoming one day Blood Bowl tournament. Only problem is that I don't have a painted team. I have my skaven , but I don't have enough goblins  and I also want to use a the star players Glart Smashrip and Skitter Stab-Stab. Who can say no to an obese Strength 4 monster with claw and a backstabbing gutter runner? Glart Smashrip Forgeworld have released a version of  Glart Smashrip , but it doesn't really fit with the oldschool miniatures that I collect so I decided to sculpt my own version. The result can be seen here. I used the hands and feet from a  lineman and the head from a kicker  since those are the hardest parts to sculpt. I don't have time to paint all the needed miniatures before the tournament so I will have to use what I have and the team will look somewhat eclectic. As long as there are no unpainted miniatures though I'm happy. I wanted to stay true to the original artwork, but I

In 2015 my son was born. 2015 was also the last time I updated this blog. There has not been much painting since then, but I'm starting to feel the urge to produce something again. Until that happens here is a blitzer I never got around to post back then. Dark Elf Blitzer Dark Elf Blitzer

Witch elves are what makes dark elf teams so cool. They are expensive to hire and break easily, but the amount of damage they can do to your opponent's team more than makes up for this. Witch Elf From a modelling point of view they are really interesting too. I've always fancied Jes Goodwin's Eldar harlequins  and I wanted my witch elves to look something like that. Witch Elf For a very long time I was struggling to find a combination of parts that I was satisfied with and I decided to scratch my first attempts . In the end I decided to use a Marauder witch elf combined with the legs of a female eldar harlequin. Since the face of the Marauder witch wasn't exactly up to Jes Goodwin standards I also used the face mask of the harlequin. Witch Elf The result is a witch elf in an attacking position which suits this kind of player well, I think.

Latest addition to the team is a blitzer. I wanted him to resemble the old starplayer Tuern Redvenom  so I used his face mask, copied his thigh guards and combined them with the torso of one of the original blitzers. Dark Elf Blitzer I used this technique to create the thigh guards and it worked really well. The head and legs were donated by old wood elf wardancers . Dark Elf Blitzer I think he looks both meaner and more dynamic than the original blitzer models  which is the way I like my dark elves. Next up is a witch elf I have been working on for some time now.
