Painted by me. The oldest paint job in my collection, and the 3rd team I ever painted, if memory serves me. Standard 2nd ed. human team and ogre, with 3rd. ed. haflings added in as turn- and scoremarker. Quite worn, unfortunately.
My Blood Bowl
Collection
[The original 6] [The
Deathzone 6] [The LRB 9] [Unofficial
6]
Below I
proudly present my collection of Blood Bowl miniatures.
It's not a fancy collectors collection, so it doesn't showcase particularly rare
or limited edition miniatures. It's a gamers collection, and what it contains is
one painted team for each playable team in the game: 21 official teams + the 3
BBRC teams + 3 unofficial teams. Mind you, I really don't paint all that well, and some
of these teams were painted back when I was worse. I'm not very fast either, so
when I finally grew up and got a real job, I found myself having more cash than
time - so lately I've been "outsourcing".
Thanks to Peter Berg and Jesper Anderson for the photos. Enjoy
Emperors Wrath [Human Team]
Painted by me. The oldest paint job in my collection, and the 3rd team I ever
painted, if memory serves me. Standard 2nd ed. human team and ogre, with 3rd.
ed. haflings added in as turn- and scoremarker. Quite worn, unfortunately.
Necksnappaz
[Orc Team]
Painted by my wife and me. Standard 3rd ed. orc team, spiced up with some WFB
minis, 2nd ed. snots and even a 40K boss as the team troll.
Deathwish
[Dwarf Team]
Painted by my wife and me. Kind of crazy idea - an "african" all-slayer team.
Just two 3rd. ed. slayers and a 2nd ed. ogre - the rest are slayers from the
Marauder range. The human is the infamous Wilson Quickfeeter from a season where
we fiddled with rules for allies, while the ogre is a leftover from previous
editions - now he serves as the team deathroller - I'm not very fond of
the original ones.
Vermintide
[Skaven Team]
Yay - as a present to myself for finishing my collection, I recently replaced
the team I liked the least: A poorly painted skaven team I got suckered into
buying on ebay. My new team was created from a single plastic Night
Runnerregiment. Did the poses myself, but the painting was left to
paintedfigs.com. Got a rat ogre on the way, but time flies with 2 kids and a
job...
Righteous Fury
[High Elf Team]
High elf team made from chronopia elves - painted by me. Originally for house
ruled high AV elfs, but I think they add some flavour to the bland BB high elfs.
My mates tease me about the paint job - but I wanted them to be this "pure":
Just white and silver... Maybe some dipping is in their future?
Lethal
Desires
[Dark
Elf Team]
Standard 12 man 3rd ed. team with standard dark elf colour scheme bought painted
on ebay. I painted the rest, and did quite a bit of touching up - including the
extremely white skin.
Force of Nature
[Wood Elf Team]
Painted by me, way back in the day. Standard 2nd ed. team with a Marauder
treeman. The 2nd oldest team in my collection - I
think. I wanted to break with the idea that elfs are nancies in green leotards,
so I tried to make them and their treeman dark and deadly, including masks,
leather and tattoos.
Uzkulag Dum Dawi
[Chaos Dwarf Team]
13 guys bought painted on ebay. I've touched them up, and added 2 hobgobs and
the minotaur. Notice the hat-swap on one Bull Centaur - the Chaos Dwarf on the
left must surely be the team captain.
Deadly Recipe
[Halfling Team]
Mixture of 2nd and 3rd ed. miniatures, all painted by me. I was going for the
innocent look here. They look like they're playing BB in their jammies
Shinkickas
[Goblin Team]
Gobbo team with lots of extras - painted by me. Gobbos have been my big BB love
since before 3rd ed., and this is by far my largest team. Lots of 2nd and 3rd
ed. miniatures, along with some slightly converted squig hoppers and head coach
from WFB.
Animal Urges
[Chaos Team]
Beastman themed chaos team, created from a plastic beastman regiment, some
plastic wolves - painted by Frey Nielsen. (And a big fat Keeper of Secrets,
painted by me). For CWs I've created homemade Centigors with the wolf bodies and
a bit of greenstuff - the combination of shortage of funds and a neat idea.
Vigour
Mortis
[Undead
Team]
Bit of a Jigsaw team: I bought the mummies painted. My brother painted the
ghouls and skellies for WFB, and I just added the team colours. Then Goonerz
(TBB) painted the zombies to match. Finally, I painted the wights - I love those
ghosts, as you can also see on my necro team.
Afterlife Unlimited
[Vampire Team]
Vampire team painted by Goonerz (TBB). I just did a few details, like the super
pale skin and the bitemarks on the vampirettes. Having already used thrall
miniatures for my Bretonnian team, I wanted something different for my vampire
team. One hideous Strigoi vampire, served by ghoul "thralls" and 5
sired
maidens is what I came up with.
Meat Puppets
[Necromantic Team]
Necro team mostly painted by paintedfigs.com. As I already had an undead team, I
wanted to use different miniatures, so these are mostly old WFB Nighthorror
minis. The ghouls painted for WFB by my brother (again, Because I loathe Gary
Morleys hideous
"man-boobs of doom" ghouls) and adapted by me. The Wights were also done by me.
Immortals
[Khemri Team]
As I don't much care for the official Khemri miniatures, I did this one with BB
mummies, plastic skeletons, and skaven & lizardman skeletons from the Cursed
Company for the skeleton positionals. All of them were painted by Goonerz.
Al' Saurîm
[Lizardman Team]
Lizardman team painted by me. I did this team before the official BB team came
out, so I had to use WFB miniatures. Rather than the usual green or rainbow
teams, I decided to do them as lizards from the desert - the Arabyans call them
Al' Saurîm.
Frostbite
[Norse Team]
Standard 3rd ed. Norse team with a few extras - a Thrud and a Heresy Boris as
the teams Barbarians (i.e. Ulfwereners) + a WFB Yeethee, and a 2nd ed. Wilhelm
Chaney. Basic paint job by my wife and me several years ago. Then I finished it as my last full team paintjob.
Ztar of the Tzar
[Amazon Team]
Kislev themed amazon team, painted by a friend of a friend. I positively hate
GW's amazons, so I used Phil's Phigs valkyries - even though they do have
suspiciously short arms.
Creeping Mold
[Nurgle’s Rotters Team]
OK - this one is a bit of a stretch: I had a handful of painted old GW dryads,
and I really like their look - so these are subbing as a Nurgle's Rotters team.
The 8 positionals were painted by me, while the treeman/beast and the remaining
dryads were painted to match by paintedfigs.com.
Poetic Justice
[Elf Team]
Standard 16 man Elf team bought painted on ebay. Then touched up quite a bit by
me. But that's what you get, when you're broke and still want to buy stuff.
Omnivores
[Ogre Team]
The last team I got painted - finishing my collection.
That, and the fact that I'm a gobbo at heart, meant I had to splash a bit: So
it's probably my most expensive team. 2nd ed. snotlings and all of the 4 2nd ed.
trolls - all painted by paintedfigs.com
Twisted Souls
[Chaos Pact Team]
Chaos Pact team, based on the 2nd ed. chaos players. 12 marauders were painted
by Frederik Rønn, and I painted the rest (though the mino was bought
part-painted on ebay). A long-legged marauder is subbing as the skaven, and
another is subbing as the dark elf.
Spawn
[Slann Team]
Fortunately for me, we've used homemade rules for slann teams as far back as
1996, where ancient WFB slann models could still be purchased from GW mail
order. Painted as a team effort by me, Jakob Lærkes and Michael Werliin -
inspired by colourful poisonous frogs. Kroxigor bought half painted on ebay much
later.
Wicked Alliance
[Underworld Team]
I already had both a skaven and a goblin team, so I wanted to use different
minis for my creepers team. I also wanted a theme uniting the allies - and found
it when I bought the painted plastic night gobbos on ebay. I then bought some
plastic plaguemonks, which paintedfigs.com painted to match. The warptroll is
from Heresy, and was painted by me. They're one of my favourite teams both to
play and to look at.
Force Majeure
[Bretonnia Team]
I originally had a Bretonnian team converted from WFB knights and militiamen -
but after discussion on the internet, I wanted a team that looked more Blood
Bowl and less army. The 3rd ed. human team combined with 3rd ed. thralls (with
dirty and rusty kit) serves as a pretty good proxy. The team was painted by
oldguardpainters.com.

Dark Pact [Daemon Team]
Daemon team, which my old league has been using for years and years. WFB
miniatures and weapon snips. The team is very worn, but that's what happens when
you lend them to 3 different (and rather careless coaches).

Guilty Pleasures [Tilea Team]
Our Tilean team, inspired by the Tilean merchant princess from the Dogs of War
WFB army. The team was painted by me, but for minis I gave the Tilean team a
white slavery twist. The linemen are the slavers, and the positionals are lovely
ivory beauties. Most of these are from Phil's Phigs, but the amazon, the ogre,
Zara and the dwarfs are GW models
