TBB Legacy Team

[GalakStarscraper]

Aren't those three in the middle
(the blatantly smaller ones) Snotling minis?

Yes, but they are from the 6 Star Player Snotlings
so compared to the official BB Snotlings they are
about double size which as you see makes them
look more like small Goblins ... I love the
minis so I think they'd be fun if folks were able
to do one or two.

Poll is up, for anyone who wants to vote on colors. A wacky thought here -- why don't we expand it and do a Goblin/Skaven team? Isn't that what the Lowdown Rats were in 2nd Ed. fluff?

[Thadrin]

The Skaven/Goblin team was the Underworld creepers. The Ratz were just Gobboes. The Creepers would be a great idea if there were official rules for using Skaven and Goblin mixed teams...or did we ever actually finish the Creepers' roster per second ed like we did the Giants, reavers et al?

Kinda like the idea of the Old style Bucs Orange and White myself, but of the three options its Bungles all the way.

Yes we did:

I like the idea of the Goblin/Skaven team, personally. Allows lots of room for variation in the minis, mutation possibilities, several big guys, etc. The rules for Goblin/Skaven teams aren't official, but have been around for a long time and I haven't heard of any particular balance problems with them.

[wesleytj]

yeah but it would suck to win that team when 90% of the potential winners couldn't play with them (or is it not safe to assume that less than 10% of leagues still use the mixed gob/rat roster?)

i say we stick with standard gobs...cheap figs for everybody, plenty of conversion opportunities, and anybody that wins will be able to use them (tho whether or not they would WANT to is something else entirely)

[Deathwing]

Well, I'm intending to get around to doing an Underworld Creepers team at some point (some of you may remember the Creepers Skaven Thrower I entered into the TBB painting comp). One point with that Creepers/Bungles scheme is that 'tiger' stripes are both tricky and time consuming.
Black/Orange (Browns). Aaaargh! Please no...painted up a sizeable (27 fig) Shadowforge team in those colours recently, and I really don't wanna go there again yet. Got a bit gutty towards the end and in truth I haven't picked up a brush since. Please don't make me go there again.
In fact NFL style uniforms are difficult to get right in general on 3e/WFB figs...
I'm voting with the purple/black...relatively simple, looks effective and sets off the green flesh nicely.

[Anthony_TBBF]

I voted Black/Purple. So when the poll is over will we all pick what we want to do?

[Milo]

Once we decide on the colors, we'll just all post here with a description of what minis we intend to donate into the team. That way we can avoid too much duplication.

Actually, I'll probably start a new thread for people to post their donations and progress on. I'm sure it won't be too long before we start seeing some painted or converted mini pics.

[Trambi]

I vote Black/orange, I could perhaps donate a skaven lineman or goblin.
What exactly could be needed ?

[Grumbledook]

One question with the colour scheme, is there going to be a standard pattern or is that too organised for goblins?

[lightingbug]

Have the goblins been definitely decided on???

I really like the suggestion of the Nuggle Rotters. It would be something new for everyone to work on. That's were I would put my vote.

[wesleytj]

please can we just do a standard team, not one of these lame-ass rotters or creepers teams that nobody plays with?

We need to iron that out before we get too worked up about the color scheme.

[Darkson]

Are you only looking for "good" painters? I might be insipired to paint a figure if I thought I might have a chance of winning a truly unique team.

[Thadrin]

My Chainsaw wielding looney (butchered together with bits from the Goblin regiment and some left overs from the Ork 'ard boyz I used for my Orc team - which I'm working on at the moment to get them ready for league play. Plenty of practice on Goblinoid flesh. Turning out pretty well thus far) is just waiting on a colour scheme. The fig looks the business...just hope I can paint him well enough to do him justice. We need to decide this sharpish if we're gonna collect them all at the Blood Bowl.
