Hey guys, first of all sorry for the lack of updates on my other blog lately. I'm in the middle of exams and fighting a war with my college to get them to get their act together (I'm student welfare officer).
Anyway, as I have not had the time during this period to work on my armies proper, I needed an easier project. The notion was to paint and game with a small skirmish force. Originally this was going to be an attempt to kick start my old Mordheim campaign I ran a couple of years ago. Then something wonderful happened - I rediscovered Bloodbowl!
Coming back to the game after so longis tricky, and what I am planning makes it even more so. I'm starting not one or two but three teams! On top of this there will b a project to model a custom pitch, set up a league and hopefully actually win a few games. The reason for picking three teams is that I want to try lots of different styles and enjoy the modelling challenge. Obviously my first team will be Chaos Dwarfs, the others will comprise an orc team and to contrast both of these a quick running team of dark elves. Anyway, here we go.
The team compositions go as follows:
Chaos Dwarfs Orcs Dark Elves
1. Chaos Dwarf Blocker 1. Thrower 1. Blitzer
2. Chaos Dwarf Blocker 2. Thrower 2. Blitzer
3. Chaos Dwarf Blocker 3. Blitzer 3. Blitzer
4. Chaos Dwarf Blocker 4. Blitzer 4. Blitzer
5. Bull Centaur 5. Blitzer 5. Assasin
6. Bull Centaur 6. Blitzer 6. Assasin
7. Minotour 7. Black Orc 7. Runner
8. Hobgoblin 8. Black Orc 8. Runner
9. Hobgoblin 9. Black Orc 9. Witch Elf
10. Hobgoblin 10. Black Orc 10. Lineman
11. Hobgoblin 11. Lineman 11. Lineman
12. Hobgoblin 12. Lineman 1 fan factor
13. Hobgoblin 2 re-rolls
1 Re-roll
As you can see I've gone for as many specialists early on as I can. This is because a) I want to try as many tactics as possible b) the number of skills these guys have should help forgive my early mistakes and c) Its fun to model specialists.
So far as modeling goes I've already converted the six hobbos for my chaos dwarf team, four of which are painted. The parts for the orcs and dark elves are on order. The Chaos Dwarfs themselves are all going to be original sculpts, and work is progressing on them. Pictures are on their way, I need to steal my camera back from a friend.
Until next time, Nuffle bless your dice
