First Time Poster, Long time Lurker!

Post by ThePolo »

Hi all, Reaper Forum member BunnyPuncher reccomended that I post these guys over here for review and enjoyment... So here they are...

WeFor some background, my friends and I just started up our almost-yearly recurring Bloodbowl league, and that means that it's time for me to paint up a new team! This year I decided to revisit Orcs, a team that I haven't played in many years (since probably '98?).

As this would be the third Orc Bloodbowl team that I've painted, I decided to go with something a little different, and convert the entire team from warhammer miniatures... Here's the first two players that I've completed:

Morg n' Thorg - Ogre Blitzer

Image
I've painted the Morg n' Thorg miniature about 10 times for various teams and people, and quite sick of it... so I converted this mini from a Warhammer Chaos Ogre to replace Morg on the field.

Haark Headtosser - Black Orc Blocker
Image
Image
Image
This mini was originally going to be my coach, but I like the paintjob too much to waste him on the sidelines. He's converted from two different Orc Warbosses (one WFB and one W40K), as well as some pieces from the Orc plastic boxed set. I'm using him to represent a Black Orc star player on the pictch.

Anywho, thanks for looking... Feel free to lemme know what you think... :)

Very nice!

Of course, it's too bad that orcs don't get ogre's anymore, but hey, nice looking figures nonetheless! ;)

Looks great!
Ready to rumble.

The ogre for my human team is converted from a warhammer fantasy ogre, and it looks good.

These aren't the miniatures you're looking for. You can go about your business and ship them to me.

;)

Those are incredible. I did something similar for an orc, although I used a head with a bionic eye, but my paintings skills are nowhere near yours.
