wanted to let everyone know,my good friend Fabio at Gaspez Arts has a Kickstarter with 2 great looking new teams!
The Lion Duchy are a Bretonnian team, and the miniatures are very nice. I very much like the "peasants" of the team, The squires, who will not doubt have to take the most punishment on the line. These figures look great.
The catchers are all in "action" poses, but none of that strange "in the air" nonsense that GW tried(and stopped, that goodness)with the Pro Elves.
The noble knights, the blitzers, are the "stars" of the team. They have the best armor, and will do the most work during the game. Scoring the touchdowns and inflicting the wounds, thats their lot!
A nice looking kicker and "chucker"( for those who forget what GW once called throwers,LOL) round out the team, along with a rather nice Ogre(who could run a human team without this big dim-witted lug?).
The miniatures are a real first for Bretonnian fans. Soon you will have a team that you can be proud of, without having to "chop up" a bunch of expensive, and out of production figures(if you can find them. There are several old GW bret. figures I have been activly seeking on ebay, Barter town, etc, FOR MONTHS, and no dice. I can't find them).
The 2nd team on the kickstarter is called Black Lotus, and is a cool Dark elf side.
Now, I'm known as "anti naked lady man" here abouts, and I own that title.
But these evil ladies are really nice. Four really animated blitzers start the team, and they look good! I'm not much with a paint brush, but I'm sure most of you can bring these ladies to life with some nice purples and greys.
Two assassins are included and they look both stunning and deadly.The face veils are a nice touch, and better then the standard hood most assassins seem to wear.
The runners are my favorite of the team. The are in nice running poses(nothing over the top) and will stand out on the pitch. One look will tell you what position they represent;no confussion with these two!
Finally, the four linewomen will do the dirty work:use them as you please! Seriously, the detail on these ladies will make even me buy the team. As I said, my paint work will not do justice to these miniatures. I'll have to have the misses paint them. Shes the one with the painting service, right!
Anyway, I wanted to let you lot know what Fabio is trying to put out through Kickstart. These are really nicely detailed miniatures. Anyone who has bought a figure or team from Gaspez Arts will know the quality that comes from the company.
I am PROUD to say that over all the years I have been buying Blood Bowl/Fantasy Football miniatures, one of the few companies I will endorse is Gaspez Arts. I will also say that Fabio never turned us down when we were running our memorial tournament for my cousin Mike, who was killed in Afghanistan. He helped us with prizes every year we ran the event. Many companies would'nt even respond to my emails.
So if you are looking for great looking Dark Elf Ladies and/or tough lokking Bretonnians, jump on this kickstarter.
You won't be disappointed. I promise.
