BB-referee (human)

While I try to finish the 2. ed elven team... here's a little in between mini. One of the two bb-referees from gw... I have painted the other - a dwarf - as well... can't find it right now though...(You can see him on the slann team shot, I believe)

I'm working on the treeman for the elven team... he's quite a big guy :)

(Saw the rulebok for AE Bounty the other day... made me wanna paint some aliens... or maybe I should just stick to bb for some time... Uhhh so many minis and I'm so lazy...)

A new team-wip-photo

The first two linemen are done... and a second thrower. I still have to finish 4 more linemen (almost done) and the treeman. Can't wait to get my hands on that treeman. Customer showed me the model yesterday, and it was great. I haven't seen it before (and there I was, thinking I had seen it all). There was talk about altering the model with some greenstuff additions... I hope he doesn't alter it too much though :)

And I made a great bargain on ebay..hehe... buying another 15 2.ed skavens for my next bloodbowl skaven team... I wonder when I will actually have the time to paint them. Nonetheless it felt terrific to buy them :)

And a warm welcome to all the newcomers at this blog - I guess this bloodbowl updates have been quite popular. Don't worry, there will be more!

merry christmas

And a merry christmas to you too, sir!

I hope you will all get lead for christmas... or maybe resin.

- Unfortunately there is no such traditions at my place, so I have got to buy it myself. This week I have bought some winged little demons armed with guns (perfect for alternative spacehulk scenarios) and three 2. ed blood bowl skavens (the two throwers and a catcher). I just love those Jes Goodwin scuplts, and even though I have already painted two 2.ed skaventeams I have a craving for yet another one.

See you soon - I hope to have new pictures for you then...

Even more bb elves...

Ok then... here's the newest batch of 2.ed.blood bowl elves.

My eyes are getting much better (thanks for the concern, guys!), and though I feel these aren't my best minis ever, I'm still happy they could be done at all :)

And here's a groupshot fo the elves done so far.


I still have to paint something like 7 linemen and a treeman.
I'm looking forward to the treeman, but I'm a little concerned about all those linemen... I remember thinking they where incredibly cool back in the days with their mohawks and 'come and get some'-attitude, but now I'm not so sure...Actually I feel they're the weakest sculpts of the bunch.. hmmm...

Cerebral thrombosis

I'm not sure how to put this, but two weeks ago I had a stroke. I believe the tecnical term for it is a 'cerebral thrombosis'. It came, as you might think, as a total chok that I, in my relatively young age should experience that kind of things. I was in hospital for some days, but things are looking much better now already. The main consequence was severe problems coordinating the eyes and moving around. I still have some problems focusing. My eyes do get better every day though, and hopes are, that they will be as good as new within a month og two... That would be really nice, thank you!
For a couple of days I had no idea whether I would be able to paint a miniature ever again, but things are looking much brighter now, and I have already been testing a little on the 2.ed blood bowl elves I have on my work desk at the moment :)

So, no pictures for you this time - but soon I hope to bring you some news

More elves for blood bowl...

I am really pleased with these Jes Goodwin elves... Although they have some less defined areas here and there, I think they come out pretty good looking :)

Here you have two more catchers (agile and slippery as hell) and another blitzer. The colourscheme is the same - the entire team is meant to be like this - no black-, red- or bluehaired elves on this team. Coherent is the codeword here.

Blood bowl elves

Blood bowl elves. When I got the team from the customer, they were all undercoated with white spray making the minis all granulated :( a pestilence to paint... Almost painted a handful before I realized that it would never work. I have stripped most of them (16 players in total) and started all over again... sigh.

Anyway... My new tactic is to paint one at a time, take the time it takes and enjoy these classic miniatures :)

The sculpts aren't as sharp as minis today, but they have lots of character - I have a good feeling about this team!
