i'm pretty sure there on mini's pictured on the sides of 2nd Blood bowl and Dungeon bowl boxes too! Not sure if they are repeats but i know they are there.

Yes, I know. As far as I can see it, those minis have been displayed in the early White Dwarfs 101-104 (the pics with the brown background). I will update the pic archive soon with those early pics still missing and will check if there any mini pictures on the BB box that hasn't been covered otherwise (1-2 Orc players might be).
Maybe I need help for the Dungeonbowl box as I don't own it and just buying it for the reason of scanning the sides would be a little too much...

I guess I could get off my lazy ass and look at my dungeonbowl boxes

But I have no scanner................I could possibly take photo's of them...don't know what the quality would be that you'd want.

I made a comparison and the only mini that is on the BB box but can't be found in any WD is an Orc Lineman (colour scheme black/red) which is even partly concealed behind another mini, so I decided to leave him out.

I don't know if a phot will do it, as scans are bad quality already. A friend of mine owns the Dugeonbowl box. What I'd like to know is, if there are more pics than the painted plastic minis (red/yellow dwarfs and blue/white Elfs) on the box or within the DB rulebook.

I'll check it out when I get home. I remeber some diff minis' but maybe I'm just getting old

Ok...just looked at DB box.. 1 halfling, 1 human and troll I didn't see on your site.....and a skaven too....thought he was one of the yellow/red ones but nope!

Ok, much thanks for the info.

Soon there will be a big update (2MB) of the Pic Archive, I'm just waiting for a last pic provided by Trav (wink, wink).

Afterwards I will turn my attention to the DB Box. I should get it from my friend somehow, sometime (?!).

With the coming update I'll will have covered all WDs, both BB Hardcover Books, the BB Box and Fantasy Miniatures 88 and 90 (Golden Demon).

Is there anybody here at TBB who owns "Fantasy Miniatures 89"? I know that there is an own section for BB teams in it, but I don't know if there is anything more Bloodbowly than the award winning Undead team I already have in the pic archive?

The 89' one is the second:
http://www.skarloc.de/le41.htm

it's the third book in the row, with the greenish background colour ob the cover. I already looked through FM '88 (one BB pic) and FM '90 (no BB pic). Strange enough, they both contain 7-8 BB minis that have been converted for 40K

What a great idea! Thanks for pointing out your cool site!
Btw, I distinctly remember an old "how to paint Citadel minis" guide that had another picture of a BB troll in it. I'll send you a scan as soon as I've dug it up.

Thanks, that sounds good.

With the help of Traveller, I got hold on the last pics missing from the Fantasy Miniatures '89 book. thanks Trav!

So, the BB Old Skool Picture Archive has received a big update, nearly doubling it's size! Updates include Chaos, Humans, Elfs, Delfs, Skaven and Dwarfs. And a new section called "in action" has been added...

this minotaur picture is mirrored, isn't it (by WD I mean, not by you)

Yes, it seems so. Haven't noticed that before. But then, for many years nobody noticed that they presented BB minis in the WD you couldn't order and which didn't appeared in the catalogue...
