Posting on behalf of Dan Chaput, who is having issues accessing this forum right now.

Dan has gotten a Canadian legacy team going. Get the details on TBB at the following thread:

http://www.talkbloodbowl.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=27344&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

Essentially, people voted for a Norse team, and coaches have started to pick the players that they want to make and paint.

I won't put the details here unless I have to. I want to avoid having the two threads contradicting each-other.

Go to the TBB thread and get the details, and pick your player. If you can't access TBB for whatever reason, post here and I'll be happy to work something out so that you can participate!!!

Dan is unable to continue with organizing the Canadian Legacy team, so I am taking the reigns.

The team is to be done by the end of the year.

This is where we sit right now:

I would hate to see this project die. I will take the reigns on it.

Here is the team as it stands now (assuming everyone is still in)

danchaput -Head Coach
pyttroll -Berserker #13
SBG -Berserker #4
mysterious stranger -Ulfwerener #9
Eggball -Runner #7
wedge22 -Thrower #22
dwarfrunner -Runner #3
Cramy -Linman #19

Grampyseer - apothecary

Needed:
Ulfwerner
Thrower
Several Linemen
other coaching staff?

I will go in for a lineman #44

I would like to offer people to send me their unbased miniatures, and then I will base them with the snow flock that I bought (and have too much of) from the local train shop. That way the bases can be consistent.


So please get involved in this one and pick which model you would like to contribute to the cause!

Wow.. since when do you worry about offending someone? Smile

Kinda though it was funny! Rirta MacNeil.... Of course that Snow Troll would have the "Always Hungry" trait! Laughing

Alright - the end of the year is coming and I am hoping that coaches are going to be taking advantage of any time off they have this holiday season to get their model done for the 1st Canadian Legacy Team.

I will admit that I have not even begun mine yet, but am making a firm committment to have mine ready for the CCKO at the end of January. Any coaches who are attending that tourney are encouraged to have their model read at that time, to make the shipping/delivery easy.

For anyone who is on the Talk Fantasy Football forums, you will see that Eggball has pulled off an AMAZING runner. The runner is modelled after himself (tall and gangly) and is done to his very high standard.

I like the idea of doing something to model the plauer after ourselves - keep this in mind if you have the ability and inclination to do this with your own model.

Well, Spazz's reminder worked wonders on me too. Here's my fig. I ran with Dwarfrunner's suggestion and modelled it after myself. Accordingly, mini Eggball is ginormously tall and skinny, measuring 36mm to eye-level or 40mm to tip of the antlers. There's a scale pic below for comparison.

Besides the moose antlers, the red and white uniform and the maple leaf, another Canadian feature is the one-piece longjohns (now off-white as a result of constant wear).

In case anyone's interested, here are the recipes I used for the red and white (from base coat to final highlight):

Red:
- Mechrite Red (MR)
- Wash with Devlan Mud
- MR
- MR/Blood Red (BR) 1:1
- BR

White:
- Dheneb Stone (DS)
- Wash with Gryphonne Sepia
- DS
- Skull White

Dwarfrunner: as you can see, I used orange for my runner's basering. I did some searches here on TFF and this seemed to be the way to go.

Alright, I have been making some more time to do the "troll" up.

When I saw Eggball's figure I decided to make some small alterations to the figure, I just hope that they work out as I hope!

I will try and get some pictures up this weekend.

Anyone else making any progress?

I think that the "snow troll is as conv erted as I am able to make him - my skills with the putty is limited

But here is "Spazzfist" the Canadian Beaver Troll!



I was struggling a lot with the camera, so out of all the pics taken, this is the only one that was salvagable. At least it shows several of his elements. I took a basic rat ogre and what I added to him was a toque (complete with pom pom), puffed out his cheeks, add a beaver tail, and for anyone who has been to tourneys with me will have at least heard of the infamous long johns! I modelled these on, complete with the stragically placed rip and I even included the the covering jockeys. Thank you to Eggball for reminding me of that!

Will post pics of the painted fig when I get it done.

Thanks all who are still hanging in there with the Canadian Legacy Team.

I have not heard back from some people, so unless I get word back from some of you in the next little while, I am going to open up the figs to other people. Some of you have got back to me and expressed desire to do a different, fig. Below is the updated list.


The participants are as follows:

Grampyseer - Head Coach
Skaven - Apothecary
Pyttroll - beserker
SBG - beserker
Danchaput - ulfwerner
Msteriousstranger - ulfwerner
Eggball - runner (DONE!)
Dwarfrunner - runner
Wedge22 - thrower(?)
Jesse - thrower
Cramy - lineman
Greg Shelton - lineman
Bjorn9486 - lineman

Spazz - Snow Troll, lineman


Also as it stands now we are very light on linemen, so if people want to do a second model, then your name will be entered twice.

As for the rest of you, please get back to me (if you have not done so in the near past). I would like to know whether or not you are still on board, and if you are willing to help out with the lineman shortage.

If I do not hear back from people by the end of the month, then I will start looking for someone else to fill in the spots.


Thanks,


Craig

Before I spend time painting a mini for this I would like to know how many people we are actually expecting to enter a mini, and also how many Throwers, as I am down for a Thrower but do not see the point in more than one.



@Wedge22, sorry about not responding - I meant to and then forgot. I would still suggest going with the second thrower, better to max out the positionals - give whomever wins the team some options.

I have got the painting done on the troll, and will get some pics up in the near future. I have some leads on other people who are getting theirs done as well, and a few more people joining - so let's get this done people! We are still on!
