Blood Bowl – Skeletons!

Posted on July 16, 2016

I have no idea why I painted 3 of them. They are generally considered to be the worse of the 2 40,000 money options compared to zombies. They have AV7 vs 8, Mv5 vs 4 and Thick Skull which prevents 8’s on injury from knocking them out.

They are decent as foulers, since they have better movement and are still dirt cheap. But I don’t need 3 foulers. I need linemen, and skeletons aren’t linemen, zombies are linemen!

Identical paint scheme as the rest of the team, but I added some green glaze onto the bones and I think it really made the bland yellow/bone thing a lot cooler looking!

Blood Bowl – Wights (and skeletons)

Posted on July 13, 2016

A double header because I forgot to take a photo of the Wights at any point in their progress. >.> Every model in this team is basically the same paint job, paint by numbers, though.

GW Sotek Green mixed up with GW Dheneb Stone. Vallejo Fluoro Yellow mixed up with GW White Scar. Dheneb Stone mixed up with White Scar. GW Mithril Silver.

The shaded basecoat is really working out well for me, I’m finally getting the highlights that look awesome. Being able to add some shading and then wipe away what I don’t want, taking care with a couple different layers, it’s really flexible and surprisingly quick considering the number of layers I’m glazing with. Plenty of Seraphim Sepia on the yellow and “skin” (bone), Drakenhof Nightshade and Guilliman Blue on the blue/green areas.

Also really enjoying painting the skills on my guys – I don’t have to pay as much attention to what number is where, since I can quickly glance at the base to see. I don’t know if my opponents are noticing, but it’s a real brain-saver at this early time when everyone is getting skills relatively quickly.
