Hello!
Here are some pictures of a house-rule Forest Folk team I've been working on. This is the first time I've posted images, so I hope they work okay!

Curious, what team would this be? (which race would be their template)?

They're too shiny for my taste. I would have used a matt sealing. Or did you use Fanatic Armypainter ? From my first impression, I'm not sure if they've been painted or dipped.

They'll be an uncommon view on the Blood Bowl pitch for sure. I don't like the overall concept of the team, but that has nothing to do with your fine work. :)

I like the models and the concept but I'm not wild about the "wet look".

Are these in preparation for your Team Scotland call-up?

They'll be used for an entirely new house-rule roster Pippy and I made up. Hopefully I'll be playing my first game with them the weekend after next.

They were painted with normal (GW) paints, no dipping here! They were varnished with a thick coat of gloss spray, making them a bit shiny at the moment, but in practice this wears dull after a few games.

They look like a bunch of Faeries to me! :smoking:

Ever thought of looking at the books (forgetting the two titles i've read - doh!) about the boy genius and the Faerie underworld? A lighter version of Pratchet humour.

Those books would be the "Artemis Fowl" series

Dare I ask what the roster and skills look like?

The rules and stats are in compendium #1 from a long time ago :D

And online ;)

I think they look cool :smoking:

Curious though, the fairies and the big man at the back, they're not on the roster, are they just RR markers? or are they something else in the pipeline?

I was thinking Chaos Dwarves when I saw the picture. Only positional not lining up was the faeries.

Looking good! The shiny stuff is glistening morning dew as the forest folk emerge from the undergrowth at the break of day... :D

The fruitiest exhibit would have to be the gnome - looks like he means business. The centuar is very nice too.

Looking forward to some practice games with the experimental roster. Can't remember exactly what rules we agreed on (and I think the original concept may have changed) but don't worry folks it's just for fun :)

I think we were going to try some unusual skill combos like Wrestle/Tackle and Sidestep/Fend on Gnomes and Fauns IIRC.

I can't decide if this means Pippy forgot to take his pill or just took a different one from normal...
