I already had a team of 12 from the boxed set and to this added the Forgeworld booster pack, the plastic ogre and another boxed set for conversions. I wanted to do something similar to 2017 with the skaven, mostly paint standard models, but convert some to ensure all the players were unique.
I swapped the legs and arms round for the linemen, some hands from the dwarfs were used as well.
Parts from a thrower and beastman hands were added to make these 2 catchers look different from the others.
It's always nice to have a team captain, and blitzers or throwers are usually the best choice for this. His head comes from a greatsword and the arms from a dwarf runner.
Normally stars are left till last, but I'd already painted up most of the options for human teams. Part of the reason I went for humans was that I had found a colour scheme I liked painting these up. They are a mixture of 2nd edition, 5th edition and new models.
I'm hoping to have painted up all the normal players by the end of March and that will leave April for the display base and any extras. I have a 2nd edition Frank N Stein and cheerleader which could be added and would make this the most complete of the teams I have done for the NAF so far.
