I want to convert models with balls in their hands (NO pun intended) but the problem is: i've only got 4 playing balls, of which 2 with base. I can't find links to buy them anywhere on the internet and I am not nearly as good to make them by conversion. what should i do?

There is a rumor that you will be able to buy them by the sprue soon.

In the meantime you could look on eBay or practice making them

You guys got jiped! I bought 2 Borises and got the extra balls (should be on the same sprue as the heads, I think).

Yes, that's true, I forgot about that.

If you want some footballs, just order the fantasy football minis from Heresy and you'll get some extra balls. (as well as a couple of great minis)

I think that the ball that come with Boris is too small.

I get good results using olives seed. the only problem is that you have to eat an entire jar to find two suitable balls, but, to me, is delicious.

I have 6 new balls made with olive seed, so, I guess that I eat at least 300 olives.

this seed have the correct shape, and I made some balls for specific teams, like chaos or skavens.

Yea I got plenty of balls!

The poses, prices and customer service of Heresy figs put GW BB figs to shame. Buy them today.

How about this for an idea?
Put some vasaline over one of your BB balls (had to make sure the BB was in that sentence), And push it into some Green stuff, smooth off the green stuff so only half the ball is in the green stuff and wait for it (the green stuff) to harden.
You will have a mould to make balls in two halfs with more green stuff. Remember to use grease.
