Yup, the paint job is sweet but I'm gonna convert my Fantasy Battle Chaos Dwarfs. For some strange reason their hands aren't twice the size of their hats 
And there's also a FB Bull Centaur with a metal glove which makes a perfect BB Centaur!
Now all I have to do is find me some Hobgoblin players...
Oh and Darkson... Any ideas for vulcanic pitches?

Here's how I'd make a volcanic pitch. In fact this is how I plan to make my regular pitch only with grass and dirt instead of rock and lava. Start with foam insulation, line it all out, etc. Cut v-grooves along all of the lines so the squares all become 3D. On the lines defining the line of scrimmage, wide zones, and end zone I might not cut those out. Leave those to be painted in. For a volcanic pitch I might use a light craft sand to give the surface of the rocks a bit of texture. If you don't want to use sand for fear of scratching mini's, maybe use a bit of cheap clay smoothed out around the field and shaped to give it a bit of a rock like surface but still flat enough to play on. Paint the grooves in all like lava. You're a better painter than I am so I'm sure you can figure this part out. Paint up the rocky areas black with a dusting of greys to make the rocky areas look cooler and more solid. I made up a quick image below to give a better idea of what I'm thinking.

Looks cool 
BTW I don't know how to paint lava, but I painted the cigarettes of my cheer-Orc and 'Ead Koach by "spotty" highlighting Blazing Orange with skully white and it looks quite convincing. Give it a try... |

Woohoo! I've tried sculpting cracked earth yesterday and it worked out quite alright. Now all I have to do is do that on 12 players and some coaching staff...

I wuz considering using electric pink for some of the silly hats and then porcelain white for others, so you really get that toilet bowl effect ... or is that not a good idea  |
