Both specialise in Blood Bowl miniatures and the speed of delivery was really good. The Snow Troll was from Gaspez Arts (an Italian company). The Ulfwerner are by Willy Miniatures (purchased from a Spanish company called Comixininos). The humans are the classic GW norse miniatures. On the other hand I really want to include the 2 Ulfwerner and Troll in the starting roster, though this means I would struggle to field more than 11 players (but would have the compulsory apothecary) and would also lack any number of reasonable rerolls. On one hand I really want to have a minimum of 12 players, an apothecary and 2+ rerolls but this limits the number of non-linemen I can field. I did paint the full 16 figures on the team, even though I haven't yet finished deciding on the starter roster. I think I prefer this to putting numbers on the players. I'm also going to pick up a white pen to write the names on the bases. I have a few items still to do with them, I want to add a couple of white lines onto some of the bases to simulate the chalk lines of the pitch (something I saw on a google image but looked pretty good). It is looking more than likely I will use this team in the competition. I finished off repainting my old Norse team and the new additions to the team (in the form of 2 Ulfwerners, a snow troll, linemen purchased from various sources and an Empire Great Cannon crewman I dug out of my random miniatures drawer, to use as the coach (to allow me to argue the call!). Humans and WE I had discounted early on, as the humans are too similar to Norse and I didn’t fancy using the Elves). I now had 4 teams I was potentially going to use! (Dwarf/Undead/Norse or Orcs. I has also picked up the Goblin booster pack to flesh out my Orc team. My wife then threw a spanner in the works by buying me the new Blood Bowl game + the Dwarf Giants and their pitch for xmas. Annoyingly I couldn't find my old metal 2nd ed. It also has a selection of 2nd edition human/Chaos Dwarf and Ogre miniatures. So this shot is on the 3rd edition board and has the starting Orc and Human plastics, Metal: Norse, 'Shambling' (original) Undead and Wood Elf teams (the wood elves were re-primed for a new paint job). I excluded my 2nd edition Human/Orc teams as I frankly don't like the basic plastics and although I like the 'astrogranite' pitch, it is not as wide as later versions so you can't really use it to game on. My first set was a group shot of the existing teams. This thread will therefore chart my various blood bowl related hobbying. With the first Blood Bowl league in a number of years, due to start late Jan at the club, I decided to take stock of my various teams in order to work out what I wanted to use.
