I'm seeing various sites offering to paint models, but not too many showing bloodbowl figures. Guess I must be looking at the wrong sites!
Still, my question is, how many people here paint their own teams, or get someone else to paint it? |

I've got 2 pro painted teams (Orcs & Amazons) and another on the way (goblins).
Have a look on TalkBloodBowl as a few guys have advertised there in the past. |

Voted "Yes, always".
I do have some star players that I have hired folks to paint, and I do have a Legacy Team, but I enjoy painting so even though I'm only decent it's the way I choose to go.
That being said if I hit the lotto or get a big raise I may just get a pro painted team at some point just to have one. You can learn a lot looking at figures up close that were painted by people with that kind of talent. That's one of the coolest things about the Legacy Team. So many different talented folks' work to examine. |

I have painted all my own teams and quite a few for others as well...
http://www.xs4all.nl/~nielsv/ramsay/
but before you ask, I have quit pro-painting so I have more time to work on my own projects... try Firebreather if you want a reliable pro-painter who knows BB
yes Rob, I know I still owe you a paint-job on a Rat Ogre.. 
maybe next year?   |

| I forgot to add my own comment: I definatly paint all my own teams. For one thing I take pride in my painting; it's good practice for when I'm painting for other people; the satisfaction of seeing your newly painted team win it's first game makes all the time worthwhile! |

| I've painted a team, and I own a team painted by a mate, but I wouldn't call them "pro-painted" (they were done quickly for our home league, not for wider viewing). |

I have a strange twist to add to this discussion. I have a Pro Painted Goblin team that I intend to take on the tourney circuit. I paid a nice price for these because I think they are great. NOW...I am concerned with having the minis damaged during the tournies. (Sort of begs the question of why I would bother to pay for a team that I am afraid to play with, but that is for a different thread.  )
Anyway...I guess the question is...if you played an opponent that used a pro painted team, would you be insulted if they aksed that only they handle their models?
Just want to see if this will irk any of my opponents down the line. 
-Rob
P.S. I play with a mix of teams painted by friends, pros, and me. The difference is obvious once you get a look at the models. |

| Good question Karl. It'd slow the game down slightly with the push-back placements, but I'd be fine with that. |

TBH...thats what I thought at first...but then I used one of my trolls as a proxy for a Ork Warboss in a game of 40K. He was knocked over once by my opponent and was nicked in a couple of spots.
So as you can see accidents do happen, and if they do happen while I am handling the models...I have no one to blame but myself.
-Rob
P.S. So Ian, the question remains...is that something that you would be bothered by if your opponent asked to handle his own models? |

People are adults. Normally they'll handle your minis with the care & respect you'd expect. Sometimes accidents happen. If they do then don't take it as a deliberate slight.
So I guess I'd consider it a bit anally retentive and I'd put it down in the "I won't share my dice" category.
If you are that bothered about your minis getting damaged then leave them in the display case/storage. |

I wouldn't mind though you may have to remind me a few times, habits are hard to break.
If I could afford a pro painted team I may consder getting one, but I have so many ideas of my own that I want to get done i'd rather show off my own work. |
