Blitz Bowl: Skaven

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.

Malifaux: December Acolytes

With M3E came some new sculpts and rearranging of existing crew boxes. December Acolytes got a resculpt and promoted to the main Rasputina box. Since I already had the Nightmare Rasputina set, and preferred the old sculpts, I went out and found a set of the old December Acolytes.

They seem generally useful, especially as an anti-armor counter pick.

For color scheme I went with the same burgundy red cloaks and Rasputina, and then filled it in from there.

Malifaux: Hoarcats

The Hoarcats come three to a box. Back in the day, it was a Hoarcat Pride, and intended to all sit on the same 40mm base. Now they’re individuals, but seem undersized for a 40mm.

The solution, of course, is to build up the base.

Hoarcats (pair)

I don’t see myself taking three cats, so I still put this pair on a single base. I wanted them to be fighting, but I managed to misalign one when gluing down. Ah well.
