Scibor Dwarfs for BB?

Post by Minigiant »

I have recently fallen in love with Scibor's Dwarf Football Players. How would you feel if i used these to represent a Dwarf blood bowl team against you in these roles

Blockers

Runners

Blitzers

Slayers

They are just such beautiful models

I very much like these models, however I think they're a bit expensive ... at least that's from memory.

I can get

6x Blockers
2x Blitzers
2x Slayers
2x Runners
1x Pig Ambulance
1x Medic

For around 72 Euros. Scibors sculpts are always fantastic quality in my experience

Things i will have to do for this team
Smaller base on the Blitzers
Orange hair on the slayers to properly distinguish them

I'd have no problem playing against them (well, apart from they're dwarfs), but not a fan of those to be honest - not Scibor's best.
Not a fan of sculpted bases for BB either.
And that poor pig's back. :(

I will paint them in the next commission and I can say for now... WOW! Perfect cast, no need of cleaning, but they are more a 32mm not a proper 28 scale, as many new teams!

Fat stationary runners aren't nice either... those 2 models are meh, whatever use except waiting to get into the armours. No way to get some other slayers, and leave the running ones as runners? Miner #9 28FM0152, with tools replaced by knuckle dusters?

The one you have marked for using as your blitzers is the model I plan to use for my deathroller :)

I use them as Chaos Dwarves, armoured as blockers, unarmoured as hobbos, big ones as centaurs...

Those are some pretty huge dwarfs. I would rather imagine them Ogres instead

I am a stickler for uniformity and dont think that Slayer idea would fit the rest of the team

They are staying as Dwarfs. They will be called "The Mini Giant's"

Does anyone know if its only the stationary chunky dude without suit that has been converted from a non-football Scibor?

They'e awesome.

I have a set for my Dwarf team. The big running guy will be my Deathroller.

Scibor also produce some great Slayer models (wild hunters): http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1762

The detail makes them worth it. Loads of character.

How did i miss these! Pretty difficult to convert though. Any ideas on how to BB them up?
