i have set myself a task. to create a blood bowl team , almost, purely out of the plastic regiment boxes available.
so far i have:
ORCS. 1 box has made me a full team with with 3 black orcs, 3 blitzers, 2 throwers, and a head coach, 2 assistant coaches and cheerleader. the latter 4 were using the command sprue. i converted a spear and added the skull banner top to show he is the 'head'(thats why he has a skull on a poel to show it) coach. the standard bearer has a play painted on the banner and anoth assistant coach with a stick pointing to it ("no !!! Da play goes like DIS!!!) and the cheerleader is a drummer sat on a stack of shields. ad just for fun i have converted an ogryn into an ogre (painted green like shrek hehe)
SKAVEN. 1 box has made me gutter runners (with fighting claws to help catch the ball), a thrower and storm vermin. i have added a metal thrower (a converted warlock) and storm vermin (clanrat champion) but purely cuz i had the figures spare. seeing you get alot of rats in a box, i am working on coaching staff too.
i am also woking on:
NORSE. chaos marauder plastics look really good for this team and are easy to convert to a team.
DWARF. obvious here, and pretty easy too. mainly using heads to show different positions but using troll slayer figures for trol slayers
HIGH ELF. this one IS tricky...i am having to use both archers and spearmen to get a good look to these but its worth the effort.
has anyone else tried this? it is a cheaper way of making a team, and adds alot of uniqueness to them. it also has the feel good factor cuz you put alot of effort into a team like this
P.S. this is also my first post here, so hello all!  |

Welcome! 
Yeah, I've tried building a plastic Orc team and it got me into the final rounds of last year's Golden Deamon and a best painted team award at the Dutch Open - plastic rules (just make the Black Orcs metal...  )
cheers,
Martijn |

I used W40K Eldar for a Dark Elf team. However, I made the Blitzers and Witch Elves from W40k Metal minis.
When making Skaven you need to buy two regiments so you have enough spare arms, legs and heads for all the mutants.  |

| Just seen a sweetly done Orc team from the Wh40k Ork Boyz box. Of course the Black Orcs were the WhFB metal ones (just to make 'em look mean), but wow! those iron gobz look great on the Blitzers. |

Yesterday I noticed that one of the new Striking Scorpion models looks like he's squatting down on a line of scrimmage... Might be a cool basis for a BB Elf... |

Chaos Marauders make a great BB team (Norse or Human).
My son showed how to make them a really good side.
Cheers

I used Skaven plastics for my linemen and cheerleaders (complete with pom-poms), but I used Fantasy metal minis for my Rat ogre, head coach, apothecary and gutter runners.
I built my Dark Elf team from a bunch of 40K Dark Eldar Warriors and Incubi I had lying around, with a couple Fantasy Witch Elves thrown in.
My brother used old Hero Quest figs to create an undead team. they weren't the prettiest things in the world, but he was only 13 and it was still GW.

I think the Heroquest Undead are amongst the best Undead GW ever did (the Heroquest zombies for example are a lot better than the big-handed, swollen headed, funny hairdo wearing things they call zombies nowadays...).
Anyway, show me some pics of your rats, please (been plundering my bitz boxes for long-lost bits of plastic Skaven yesterday to build a Skaven team myself...) |
