Blood Bowl Wood Elves

Citadel Miniatures 2nd edition Blood Bowl elves painted as Galadrieth Gladiators. These elves are among my favourite miniatures ever produced by Games Workshop. They were sculpted by the legendary Jes Goodwin and have a distinct eighties feel to them.

The wardancer (or blitzer as they were known in 2nd edition) with the hockey mask is my absolute favourite Blood Bowl miniature ever produced. Unlike most of his teammates he looks tough and like he really means business. If memory serves me correctly in the old ruleset elf blitzers recovered faster from being knocked out than the rest of the elf players.

When I painted this team I took great care to make each miniature look slightly different from each other so the team as a whole would be more visually interesting.

Blood Bowl Witch Elf

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.

Vietnam US Infantry Painting Guide

When I saw the new Flames of War US Rifle Platoon I immediately knew I had to get some of these. They are beautifully sculpted and I really think Evan has outdone himself here. At the start of a new project I always do a test base/figure and only when I'm happy with the color choices I will move on to the rest of the miniatures in the unit. This time I decided to document the recipe because as we all know I will get sidetracked by other projects before I finish the whole platoon. So when I return to these miniatures at some point in the future I won't have to be guessing all the colors I used. Most of the time I start from a black undercoat and with these guys it was no different. Colors used are all Vallejo . Flames of War Vietnam US rifle team Uniform I start by painting the whole uniform Model Color Russian Uniform WWII (924). I then paint all the recesses with Game Color Cayman Green (067). I mix the highlight color 50/50 between Russian Uniform and Mod

Blood Bowl Base Rings

Every Blood Bowl player will at some point have tried to play a match where it was hard to tell your opponent's miniatures apart. It can be very frustrating if there is no easy way to tell whether you are blocking a black orc or a goblin. "My blitzers are the ones with slightly more spikes than the others..."  Really? Also, it's rather time consuming when you constantly have to ask your opponent what his playing pieces represent. Orc Blitzer That's why I love base rings! Base rings were introduced in the 2 nd edition of Blood Bowl (I think) and by using them you can make your players' positions immediate to your opponent. The original position colors were as follows: Blitzer: Red Blocker: Green Thrower: White Catcher: Yellow Lineman: Grey I always follow these guidelines when I paint my base rings, but the color is not really important as long as you can tell the miniatures apart. I often get asked how I paint the base rings on m
