BATtling Cobras - my vampire team (Finished)

Post by The Ref »

After loosing my 3rd game, I found I had to start build the players, and not just borrow thralls from my other (non-vamp) teams. Heres a few photoes of my thralls for the BATtling Cobras.

Built them as positionals, to help me set them up faster on kickoff, and to make variations... All my players are made from warhammer zombie regiment parts mixed with human bloodbowl players from the boxed game.

Numero uno, my -MA thrall (ankle problems, hence the stick...):
Image

number two - a dedicated runner:
Image

#3, Onete Coffinclouder, slave of Zanirick von Cryptchant - she took the initaive to what came to bee the BATtling Cobras:
Image

#4, my other runner:
Image

#5, Carey Im'ome - the favoured treat amongst the vamps on the team. This has taken a toll on Carey's health:
Image

#6, a kicker withouth much precission, despite his kick skill... :
Image

#7, started out as journeyman, turned out to be a decent passer and got hired as "when all vamps are sucking blood - u throw the ball!" quarterback:
Image

#8, the safety - standing with his arms in a waiting position... hoping the other guys on the team will stop the opponents:
Image

#9, a catcher, this one on his heals falling backwards when doing the catch (as the poor QB often overthrows the ball):
Image

#10, second catcher - making the perfect diamond with his hands, as any other good catcher should :) :
Image

You can find out more about this team by going to the page linked earlier. Check out AnBBL to see how they doo in the Semi Pro's division. They're going on a tour to our Southern Conference this summer.

That's all for now folks, an ETA on the PIP is in August - due to summer vacation (I'm leaving my paintkit behind :roll: ).

Oh - and color shceme suggestions are welcomed :) (Browse my team on our webpage, and click the vamps to see PIP pictures of them.. basically 3xCount Luthor models, with minor modifications on one)

The vamps I have right now are 3 times the GW "Count Luthor von Drakenbourg" star player model. I'll be lookin into the heresy miniatures vamp models though, to make my team a bit more interresting ;)

Well, here's an update on my vamps. I found three different ones from the GW miniatures:
Blodberg von Cryptchant
Ianus von Fogspirit
Haluelie von Coldcurse

Even though the picturses are still WIP in the roster, I've also painted a few of them. At least #1, #3 and #7 as well as Vamp#13. I'll take some pictures of them later.

And lastly, the late second half team picture. Most vamps gone to the stands, most thralls drained of blood, leaving only the hard core on pitch:

My team is finished. Only got a HD video cam to take pictures with, that plus the lightsettings makes some of the pictures a bit low on detail..

Anyways, here's the rest of BATtling Cobras:

You may also browse the characteristics, with the picture, of theese players through browsing the teams roster

Not a high quality paintjob, but I think they'll look good in fast and furious BB games :)

Please comment :D

Here she is:

You got some really nice and funny conversions :) I feel inspired to make a vampire team now, but need to finish my necromantic team idea first ;)

Thanx :)

The idea was to make all my thralls look different, so that I would remember to use them differently.

## USAGE

01 Cannonfodder / LOS / injured Catcher (for them short passes up the middle..)
02 Blitzer / blocker
03 Vamp support - bloodcarrier - runs ahead of the vamps in case of BL
04 Blitzer / blocker
05 Vamp support - bloodcarrier - runs ahead of the vamps in case of BL
06 Kicker (also works for cracking nuts...)
07 Thrower, ballgetter
08 Safety (allways keep a guy in defence...)
09 Cannonfodder / LOS
10 Catcher
11 VAMP thrower / ballgetter
12 Catcher
13 VAMP crusher LOS / Widezone
14 Blitzer / blocker
15 VAMP crusher LOS / Widezone
16 VAMP safety / Hypnogazer

You find the numbers above also on the bases within the previously posted pictures..

Very nice team!

I'm a sucker (no pun intended) for conversions and I like yours a lot! I just made a Nurgle team from the Zombiesprues and I must say that it is a god send. Many lovely(?) parts on those sprues...

I like your colour scheme too!
