When the Underworlds Creepers box was announced, it seemed nearly perfect for Blitz Bowl. Two half-sized Blood Bowl teams in one box. Thus skaven and goblins became my first expansion Blitz Bowl teams.
I knew I wanted them to work as a combined team, should I ever actually go the Blood Bowl route (or use some of the community rules for the Creepers). Since the goblins would have green skin, I decided on green for the primary cloth color on the skaven.
It was fun to blend the skin tones with fur. I’ve struggled with that in the past, but these show some progress.
One nice thing about the Blood Bowl boxes are the decals. It makes the models less useful as generic fantasy, but the numbers help emphasize up the sports ball aspect of the game.
Skaven get some fun thematic balls, full of warpstone glowiness.
I continue to not be excited about properly painting up the coin and marker. So they just get a simple wash over a color that matches the team.
