Blood Bowl – Still zombie orc

Posted on August 6, 2016

I’ve moved my entire house contents from one location to another since I last wrote, so I’m quite happy to have had time to get some painting in!

Ballcrusher, as he is named, is officially my favourite member of Resurrection! I stole him from Dale, after killing an orc blitzer and now he’s a zombie. Strength 2, movement 4, armour 8, zombie. I loves him so much!

The above photo I think I took before I moved. I have no idea what I did to paint him, but I know I spent a lot of time on the fine fellow. He followed similar schemes as the rest of the team, but with some guts and destroyed armour and such. I’m SUPER happy with the orc flesh, it’s Dheneb Stone with a Waywatcher Green layer over it. It’s green and orcy, but super pale and undead.

This next photo I took tonight after I finished him. Some Blood for the Blood God on his wounds (head and gut) and on the ground behind and under him. A bit of silver weathering and some white highlighting on the skin.

Also pictured is the ghoul formerly known as Shayne. He had Block and Dodge and Tackle and…-1 Strength. It was recommended by several people that I fire his ass, and so despite my attachment I did and for the first time made use of the “easy erase” feature of the bases I made. Some black painted over the skills and I have an unskilled ghoul again.

Blood Bowl – ZOMBIE ORC!!

Posted on July 26, 2016

Oh man! I killed one of my opponents players on Wednesday and so I get a free zombie! Like any good hobbyist, pulled out my bitz box and opened a barely open box of Fantasy Black Orcs, which conveniently was exactly the model that died.

I sculpted/pressed another few bases, since I think I’m going to need 1-3 more of them as the team progresses. I built the orc and then, in usual ork fashion, took a knife to it!

Put a big gash in the front of the armour, on his pauldrons, “arrow” holes in the other one and a big slice through the helmet that pushed into the eyes and face YES. I had to cut it open a lot — zombies are armour 8, which isn’t great. Orcs are armour 9, which is quite good.

Some green stuff and I mucked some organ-matter coming out of the helmet and his belly. I’m not certain what is coming out of his head, maybe it’s probably going to be bright pink.

The above photo is of me thinking I need a new pot of something resembling Dark Flesh. I didn’t really want the base layer to be as thin as it is.

I decided to paint him in similar colours to the rest of the team. I’ll claim they repainted his armour after he died and changed sides. 😛
