Hi guys, long ago, before I started playing Warhammer, I used to play Blood Bowl, it was my first minuature game.
By that time, I used to play with amazons, but now my friends and I are getting back to the old world sport, so
I started a High Elf blood bowl team, and Im converting it with miniatures from warhammer. Ill be posting the progress here.
For now, the convertions (with some details remaining like ball on the thrower and some other customizations).
Let me know what you think and if you get any ideas or improvements!
Catchers: Basically made from white lions
Blitzers: White lions legs, phoenix guard torso, and dragon princes heads
Thrower: Phoenix guard champion
Linelfs: phoenix guards
Blood bowl Team
Moderators: The Heralds, The Loremasters
Re: Blood bowl Team
Nice conversions! The Phoenix Guard outifit must be the worst sport attire ever though

indeed.
Great conversions. They look very dynamic and different all. Except for the moment maybe the Thrower and the line elves. Nothing a paint job wont fix of course.

Re: Blood bowl Team
Yeah, you are right on that one, Im adding a ball in the thrower's hand, buts still they look pretty similar. So I thought about it and im inverting the color scheme on his cloak (red and white flames for line elves, and withe with ref flames on the thrower) also making his armor more golden than silver.Prince of Spires wrote: Except for the moment maybe the Thrower and the line elves.

Thanks for the comments! Paint job started on the linelves, will post them when finnish!

Re: Blood bowl Team
These are among the several incredible kit bashes to make HE bloodbowl teams that I've seen. It almost makes me wish that I didn't already have a metal team. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to make a thrower and 2 catchers that blend in ok. I might just resort to head/arm swaps from metal figures. I just don't like duplicate sculpts when I can help it. Line elves are one thing, but position players should be unique.
I'm looking forward to seeing some paint on these.

Re: Blood bowl Team
I agree. Really nice, especially the Blitzers.

The main problem I expect you'll run into is that current models will be a lot bigger then the older metal ones. Which will be very noticeable on a relatively small field.
