Post subject: NAF legacy team 2005 - Lizzies paint choice

Ok everybody,

it was decided by vote that this years legacy team will be:

Lizardman

Now it's up to us to decide for color. Please do the following:

-Read the choices below
-Vote above (please only people who are participating)
-Write what color scheme you have voted for and what mini(s) you want to paint and what number it/they will get

Since so far only 16 people have volunteered to paint this year, I would like to ask everybody if the one or the other would be willing to paint more than one (e.g. two skinks). For the people who want to paint coaching staff, I'd like to have them paint a player as well. I'll try to contact GW and see if they can do the same as they did last year.

On top of that I would like to get an opinion about the bases. Since Lizards are crap when it comes to prone and stunned, I was wondering if we could go with square bases and write (or color code) Prone and Stunned on the sides.

Here are the color schemes:

1: Brownish with a hint of purple
2: Purple skin, cream/bone scales, underbelly (+ crests for skinks) with dark brown designs on the skull helmets and Black and gold armour.
3: Mix of interesting natural reptile colours for the skins and blue armour
4: Orange, yellow and black, like those venomous African frogs
5: Red and white (NAF colors)

(This poll will close after 15 days)

Ok...I'll go first Smile

I voted color scheme 4-"Venomous African frogs"

I'd do a Skink and a Saurus with numbers 7 and 14, respectively

Emberbreeze - Apr 18, 2005 - 04:12 AM
Post subject:

I voted natural skin colours, but I think NAF uniforms would be good

I'll go for a skink (need to get one from somewhere)

#11

Post subject:

I'd love to do a skink and a saurus... Numbers are pretty up in the air for me. Smile

Just to mention, I picked #2 for the color scheme... Smile

And agreed... no square bases!! Very Happy

Melifaxis - Apr 18, 2005 - 04:50 AM
Post subject:

I voted for #2.

I'd like to paint a saurus. I think it's abit early to start doing two minis, so I'll just sign up for one for now. I'll take number 34 please.

Oh and square bases are crap Very Happy

Zinak - Apr 18, 2005 - 08:30 AM
Post subject:

I can do atleast 1 saurus and 1 skink and can take any unused numbers. I will be willing todo more minis if need be.

Color choice......2: Purple skin, cream/bone scales, underbelly (+ crests for skinks) with dark brown designs on the skull helmets and Black and gold armour.

Crazy_Goblin_Girl - Apr 18, 2005 - 09:16 AM

I voted for colour scheme #2 Very Happy

I'll volunteer for the kroxigor - number 9 - and a skink - number 13 - ... I got ideas for an apothecary and a saurus but I'll leave those for now. Wink

Post subject:

Hi !
I voted for scheme number 4, and i am ready to paint 2 skinks, so let's say number 16 and 42. Is that ok with you guys ?

I saw on saurday an undead team which was pro painted in black and yellow it was awesome and i definetly think that it would fit a lizardmen team.

And of course, this 2 colors are really hard to paint, so it may be a good challenge too !!

Cool

Hey!

I voted for scheme #4, because it's my suggestion! Wink

I will do a Saurus and would like to have #4

Post subject:

i would love to paint whatever's going. not that the pic is any good but my profile saurus should put me down in the option for silly skin. I dont mind at all the colour scheme but think the skin tone is more relavant than the actual kit.

Option 3 sounds nice - but not fussed. pretty sure any colour can be painted on them which suites me.

figs - i can convert a whatever... on link page 5 has captured my team liz team and the skinks look best but look forward any ideas. http://www.specialist-games.com/bloodbowl/assets/pdf/unofficial/bloodbowl.pdf

sounds all good Smile

I can do a skink as well as the coach. Let me use #12.

Shadewe - Apr 18, 2005 - 04:44 PM
Post subject:

Okay I would like to paint the Apothocary and a skink #88. I voted for the deadly frog.

fuzzy_spiral - Apr 18, 2005 - 04:53 PM
Post subject:

okay I voted, as for players.. Hmmm..

I like the idea of..

00 - skink ball returner from the kick off.. 'Nervy' Izabt Ikkibok.

and assisstant coach - 'Snake Eyes' the snakey, Ssnake-Snake. Cross-eyed play picker.

Sturmjarl - Apr 18, 2005 - 07:28 PM
Post subject:

Ok,
I will volunteer for a skink #3 please Very Happy

. Bases doesn't really matter so long as all but the Krox are on the exact same size/shape base. That said, I'd like to think as myself as open minded, especially with the board spaces being square, but it's hard for me to picture BB players(other than big guys) on square bases Confused

. It's so silly but true Rolling Eyes

!! Anyway, I will NOT be "voting" on the bases if it comes to that, I will only suggest that "IF" square, than 25 MM (larger/orc) bases be used. I HATE those fiddly 20 mm (goblin) bases!! Mad

Oddbourne - Apr 19, 2005 - 08:57 AM

iZzzz the last saurus still in play!? If so I'd Gladly give a helping hand painting it! Very Happy

We are "officiall" booked with players. I was actually afraid that we wouldn't get all positions filled, but there were some people who hopped on the band waggon Very Happy

You guys are just amazing Smile

But since we have more participants on the original list and a whole bunch of people making two players I'd say, from this point on, if you want to paint for the team (the more the merrier): tell us.

Since I'm one of the people doing two, I'd step back (with one fig) and let somebody else participate. So if anybody wants to join, I'd give up my skink

crazylegs - Apr 19, 2005 - 09:35 AM
Post subject:

I had originally requested to make a dugout, and now that we have all the positions filled, is it cool if I go ahead with that project?

Tojurub - Apr 19, 2005 - 09:46 AM
Post subject:

sure...sounds like a great idea

LX2K - Apr 19, 2005 - 10:10 AM
Post subject:

OK I would also be glad to drop one skink to let someone participate. From now on I paint skink 16.

I just wait for the color scheme to be decided.

Since this is my first time with painting the Legacy team...

We purchase our own minis, then paint them, and ship them off?

Tojurub - Apr 19, 2005 - 12:13 PM
Post subject:

Wait with the purchasing of any minis until we hear from GW if they donate minis or not....unless you want to do something super special, then of course you can by whatever you like Wink

I'll get in with skink #71. Anyone have some pictures of african frogs in red/white uniforms?

I'll surrender my skink if someone else wants in but I am doing at least one cheerleader as well as the krox. Mr. Green

Boblo_Jellyroll - Apr 19, 2005 - 02:44 PM
Post subject:

Yeah, I can give up my skink too if more people want to join the fun. The more the merrier. I'm really stuck on doing the coach even though the very choice Slann kroxigor handler from '85, that would have made an excellent conversion to BB coach, slipped through my fingers on ebay. Did one of you punks bid against me? Evil or Very Mad

I know I have earlier saud that I would not participate if I did not have a fig from the selected race, but I have changed my mind, I would like to paint on for the team.

Please let me know. I voted for the blue armour.

Ok guys:

the poll is not over yet, but we have extremly good news: Games Workshop is supplying minis for this years team Worship

Jervis said he will support the NAF and will send the minis to me. So the request goes to all painting members: Please PM me your address, so I can mail the mini to you.

Dear Tojurub.

I recently became aware of this opportunity and would very much like to be part of it(From Kenneth - Musta Surma).

Is it possible to get a miniature to paint?

I would accept any kind of miniature and would be happy to get the chance.

Regards - Lars (A.k.a eldekar / darheel)

I assigned him a skink Wink

Since Musta is painting #13 i'll grab #69.

I wasnt following the whole NAF legacy team 2005 story here... but maybe someone can tell me, whats the deadline to finish the mini ?
The next weeks i will move house, after reorganizing myself i have to paint the ogres ( i ´m still trying to finish this team for the GD in August Rolling Eyes

). But , if the deadline is more near end of the year i can maybe paint a lizzy, too...

Seems like most of the players are taken (even doubled, man we got some excited painters Mr. Green

) SO if anything pops up that needs to be done, I'll volunteer, if not I'll sit this one out.

crazylegs - May 10, 2005 - 11:41 AM
Post subject:

Just from the experience of painting for the previous team, it's probably safe to say that a lot of those players that are "taken" will not get done... I wouldn't sit out if I wanted in, just paint something you want to (just make sure the # is not taken)... it's probably a good idea to have extras lined up.

Tackledummy - May 11, 2005 - 03:43 AM

I got a few skinks lying round so I'd be keen to paint one of them. Whether you need it for a player or just coaching staff just let me know. Long as I can get number 73 I'll be happy.

Just an update:

I haven't received the team from GW, yet....maybe I should send a reminder e-mail to Jervis.

@Traveller: The deadline is October, so that we have some room for any delays. I definately want the team to be at the winner place before Christmas

another update:
Jervis sent me an e-mail letting me know that the minis are on their way. If they arrive by tomorrow I will be able to send out at least the ones for the US participants, since I will be in the US for a few weeks (saves on postage). the other ones will be sent out when I return after June 15, so please just be patient Smile

They are here!!

After I came back from my trip to the US I found a small package from England on my doorstep. Andy wishes us good luck with this years legacy team and here is what he sent:

4 Sauri and 8 Skinks. Thank you very much Worship

So here are two questions:

1) Does anybody plan on using their own mini or doing a conversion of some sort? Please let me and the rest of the painter know.

2) This question is directed towards our treasurer: Jim, do you think the NAF can chip in to get the remaining minis (2 Sauri, 4 Skinks, 1 Kroxigor)? Please let me know.

After these questions are answered I will start shipping the minis to the participants.

Thanks for your patients.

Let me make sure I got that right:
you don't have a Saurus....ok...we will provide you with one (somehow)
but you do have a Skink, which you are willing to use for the legacy team: Great, thanks a lot Worship

The cheerleader I'm doing is going to be a conversion with bits from my bitz box so I don't need a mini for "her". Wink

Sadly I don't think I've got any spare whole lizards around (many heads from the plastic set though), though I'll have a double check.

I was going to convert the Kroxigor any how so if need be I can work from any bits folks have lying around... scales can be green stuffed on so I can work from just a torso, legs, arms (all big sized but it doesn't really matter what they are from - rat ogre/kroxigor... something big) and a head would be nice, just need the basis of chunky, sharp teeth. He'll look like he's from some funky spawning but I'll make him fit. So I'll work from that or a whole mini... whatever is needed. Mr. Green

Post subject:

ok...today is the big day...at least for some.

I gave Musta Surma and Djengis their mini at the RDV, I gave Draco the mini for mepmuff (yes Drace, there were witnesses Wink

)

The following minis went out today:
Saurus:
- Oddbourne (please put your nickname on you rmailbox, didn't have your real name when I mailed the letter)
- SBG
- Melifaxis
- Zinak (you are assigned #10 for this mini)

Skink:
- Lars
- LX2K
- Shadewe

The last three minis (sturmjarl, Zinak, Dark Dancer17) will be sent out by OMM after he received the order (I will supply you with the addresses by PM, Jim).
If you wonder why I picked these three. Well, Zinak and Dark Dancer doing 2 minis and they should have one to start with (Zinaks 1st is on its way)...and for sturmjarl: Bad location: OMM is close by so I figured the mailing time between Tampa and Orlando will be short.

I just made one mistake: I kept a skink instead of a Saurus. So question to sturmjarl: do you want to do a Saurus instead of a Skink? Or alternatively, Zinak: do you want to do a second Saurus instead of your Skink?

Have fun painting....and don't forget: Deadline is October
