NBA legacy team 2004 - finished

Post whatever you want to post, totally up to the individual.

The zombie sprue arrived and I'll send out the bitz to those who wanted them (other than LQ, who else wanted some?)

Just one clarification; the colours are black, red, and grey (you may use a little bit of white as well) - paint however you see fit, just make sure you use all calours. All minis must have shoulder pads of some sort so that the transfers (when they come and I send them out to everyone) can be applied). All minis must be based, however you see fit. Must put your username one front of base ring so everyone knows who did what. The team cannot be sold or repainted, etc.

These are the only rules that have been set down for the team, so use your imagination go and do something unique.

Everyone send me their address (by PM or email) so that I can send them their transfers to them when they arrive. Logo transfers range from height of 2-5mm so indicate what size you will need to fit on your mini.
Also those who indicated they wanted zombie bitz from me, remind me who you are as well. Thanks.

My mini is mostly painted now (I actually sat down to paint space marines, but ended up doing my zombie instead.)

I tried a bunh of pictures, but I still haven't really got the hang of taking pics of figures, and the only even vaguely usable one made the highlights stand out far more than they actually do., making it look like crap.

Anyway - plastic human lineman, head leg and arm swapped. Maintaining original shoulder pads, so the plain one will be where the number goes. I've done the other pad up in a nice blue, because noone's gotten around to repainting it since he was raised from the dead mid-game (thats the idea anyway). Need to get more Blood red to highlight up the red though.

I tried making a zombie out of a plastic human and zombie parts, looked like crap IMO, so I stuck with regular zombie parts. Thads, I'm sure yours looks better than mine did.

Other than LQ and BO, who wanted zombie bitz?? I have 3 baggies of bitz set out ready to send, thought there was another person who wanted them.

Here's a not so great pic of the zombies I am going to paint, hopefully will look ok when painted and transfers applied.

Slack Jawed and kind of slow in the head, yep they belong on the NBA team.

Thanks to the NBA for making me a special honourary member! I've been kind of excited about this team

My Zombie is painted and waiting on the transfers. So far so good! Used this model for something different:

Can't wait to see the rest of the team! Cheers!

.

My first attempt I had cut the lineman in half before I realised that the waist on the zombies was a completely different size to the lineman's.

Luckily I had a second Lineman lying around (God only knows where from) and I used that, keeping it simple. With the head swap and changing one leg at the knee, witha full arm replacement it looks pretty good. I found some red that wasn't completely dried out so mine is done apart from basing, transfer and varnish. I'll give it to you at the BB.

Ok, a good news - bad news situations in regards to the transfers. Good news, they arrived today and the custom sheets with the NBA logo look good. Bad news is that they sent me 2 logo sheets instead of one logo sheet and one numbers sheet. So I guess people will be painting on their numbers (did I just hear Deathwing shout, "Hooray!"?), but I do have an extra GW Chaos number sheet I could cut up and send out (or just let people paint or use left over GW transfers if they want). The question remains, now that we aren't getting a transfer sheet with numbers from 01-33, should be redo some of the number selections so that we have the team numbered from 1-16, or do people care?
Need to know what everyone thinks about this, want to get the transfers sent off ASAP.

Painting the numbers on sounds good to me.

Im fine with the majority.

You haven't answered the other question, should we redo some of the numbers so the range is from 1 - 16 or leave them as they are?

Melifaxis · Post by **Melifaxis** » Sat Mar 06, 2004 2:24 am

I think most of us can paint any old number

Snew · Post by **Snew** » Sat Mar 06, 2004 4:58 am

Leave the numbers as the are. I can use a 3 or 4 mm transfer. I may be able to get a 5mm to fit but 3 or 4 would look better.

Lets just stick with the same numbers and paint them on.
