Fubar can't seem to get access to TBB atm so I'm posting this on his behalf
Here is his his post about the team he is converting for the Blood Bowl.
The Scurvy Rats are a team of pirates, so there is the odd wooden leg or eye patch. All the models have been converted, and these are just a few of the linerats and the stormvermin (complete with parrot).
They are still a long way from being finished (none of them even have tails yet...), but I thought I would show a small image for initial comments.
I will post some clearer pictures once I've got the hang of the camera and got them a bit closer to completion!
Any comments would of course be appreciated.
Cheers,
I think they are really good, possibly the most characterful team I've ever seen.

They are intentionally small until they are closer to being finished. I might be able to convince him to post a shot of his scratch sculpted Rat Ogre (going to be his ref model) before he paints it

It looks like I can access TBB from here... it's just at work that it is being awkward!
I do have a couple more photos if you are interested... Sorry, they are a bit larger than I would like, but I can't access where they are hosted. (Maybe Emberbreeze might reduce them to something slightly more managable?)
This is my scratch built rat ogre. I started him a long time ago, but subsequently the poor guy got dropped from the team. I hope to have him painted up anyway so he can at least stand and roar from the sidelines!
These are my gutter runners in their very early stages. I really should start doing some more work on them tonight!

The Ogre is totally scatch built, but the linerats and gutter runners are heavily converted plasitcs (he replaced the entire body section)
He is too damn good, I'll have to break his fingers
edit - I'll see what I can do with the pictures
edit - there you go, a bit more managable

Wow... that greenie looks great.
That reminds me of the complete Cat-Team I have here. Only have to convert and paint them... some greenstuff work to do.
Maybe I'll consult you and find out some tricks.

You found a Rat-Ogre somewhere, painted it green and now claim to have built it yourself, right?

very nice green... and after a closer look, he, whats laying under the rat ogres feet ?
(going to be his ref model)
hm, looks like another ref... maybe the ratogre got bribed ?
The part green part plastic conversions of the runners is a great idea ! I still have to convert some streetbowl orcs. This could be a good way to collect some green stuff sculpting experiences ... hm, i have to think about a theme.
