Converting - BB Grandstand

If you're familiar with American football, you may have heard of the "Black Hole," the infamous South End Zone in Oakland's Coliseum. Every Sunday in the Black Hole is Halloween for the most die-hard Raiders fans, and you literally take your life into your hands if you show up wearing the visiting team's colors.

I'm looking to create a "Black Hole" grandstand for my Chaos Pact team (not coincidentally named the "Northland Raiders"). Because it's a mixed-race team, I can use any of the following races for fans:

* Skaven
* Goblin
* Orc
* Chaos
* Norse

Of course, I'm also interested in the odd Daemon sitting in the crowd, the enemy Dark Elf getting pitched through a wall, etc.

Ok. So where do you, the reader, fit in? I'm looking for suggestions for particular models that YOU think will look good in such a setting. They can be cheerleading, daydreaming, brawling, spying, whatever! Suggestions are great - "Get a barmaid," "Have a Goblin looking up some girl's skirt," etc. - but I'd really like suggestions for particular models that will fill the bill.

For example, I have an extra Rotter #1 and Rotter #3, both of whom would make good assistant coaches or fans. Saying, "Hey, check out Nurgle's Rotters for some figs" is helpful, but saying, "Check out Rotter #1 and Rotter #3, they'd look at home off the field" is even better.

I thank you in advance for all your help, and I promise updates and pictures when this project is done Smile

Cheers!

I should add that simple conversion is not an issue! So it's a big help to know that "Fig. X is a Black Orc in a cheering stance, just snip off his axes and you're all set," or that "Fig. Y would look cool chopped in half with his lower end protruding from a barrel." Similarly, WH and 40K are both fair game, as are Mordheim and similar models. (And yes, Shadowforge and similar figures are also good.)

Thanks again!

You could use the old Nurgle figures from the Palaquin - ready made cheering fans Smile

Plus the new Slaan figure, suitably painted of course Wink

loads and loads of dwarf figures are suitable, including mental slayers wielding two weapons. Also, their cannon crew are good too. One of them is waving a flag and I've used two as line judges for mine.
