Post by Roblematic »

I was involved in a FB post that ended up talking about how had the old Khemri team was to put together. I was wondering what you guys thought was the best or worst Blood Bowl model.

If you are talking worst gw/citadel... numerous: 3ed Bomber Dribblesnot & Nobla Blackwart, 5th edition Werewolf, both Wights and both Ghouls (just to start the list), and all the 2016+ plasticrap....

Best gw/citadel: Entire 2ed Skaven team, Max Spleenripper, 2ed Chaos All-Stars (for the most part)

Best 3rd Party: RNEstudio's "Bunny" (I use two models as my Werewolves), B7 tournament's "Funk-n-stein" and "Gary the Ghoul", Joker Kup's "Tentakulos", Wicked Bowl I's "Skeletor", Fanath Arts (seated) "Commentators"

Would have to agree with the 5th ed Werewolf, looked like a bad head conversion, I'd add 4th ed humans some of the arm/body positions look so wrong.

Im still a sucker for the 2nd ed Skaven, and elves particularly the Mohawk Blitzer

Over at Dakkadakka someone said he did the entire BB 3rd edition... that's condemnation enough :puke:

I think that's a tad harsh - the dwarves and chaos dwarves are nice models. I'm generally a fan of 2nd ed though - my main favourites being skaven and pact teams. for 3rd party models, jbone's frogs are by far my favourites.

The 3rd edition models almost universally suffer from looking like de-weaponed Warhammer miniatures.

In terms of favourites, Elf and Skaven 1e teams are both superb. I also love the 1e Ogre. I think they're all Jes Goodwin sculpts so no coincidence, he's just generally superbly talented.

I never liked any of the High Elf team from 3rd edition. Those models always seemed weird looking to me.

Best for me is either 5th edition Zug or 2nd edition Skaven Thrower

Yeah, threads on thin, broken rat tails, balls in tails, and multiple issues with the troll come to the front of my mind....
