As promised, what was effectively my first BB team, the goblins Xalupas de Massarelos. Painted sometime during 2006 or earlier, I used only GW plastics and, not wanting to spend too much in a game I was barely starting, I shared a box of ogres to build the team trolls.
Certainly not my highest standard of painting, even for the time, and I always hated painting plastics (weight, not enough detail, etc) so they ended up a bit of a rush job and the ogres/trolls came out a bit of a mess. Even so, I'm still quite happy with some parts of the end result:
- the cheerleader conversion
- the coach
- the detail of the goblin with the gold teeth
- the bag of bombs on the bombardier
- the skin colour (lifecolor medium green) which became my standard for goblin skin tones, avoiding the classic bright green.

Yes, the coach is a gnoblar and the apothecary is a high elf - might explain why the team's apothecary is so reliable, I suppose.

The (mandatory) secret weapons:
And, finally, last but not least, the boyz:
The (simple) counters:
And this is how I started playing BB around 4th edition. As you may guess i started in the most frustrating way possible (at least I wasn't playing with 'flings...) and didn't exactly make things easier when I decided that my second team would be Chaos Pact (which may be the object of the following photo post in this thread).
