Blood Bowl: Naggaroth Nightmares

Well it's been a bit since I posted anything and I can't believe (again) how fast time fly's by when you're older. Remember when you were kids and time seemed to barely advance and you were always in a hurry for something to happen? Now at the other end of the age spectrum I am like, for F*&^ Sake time slow bloody down!!!!

I don't normally do commissions, as I absolutely hate not being able to keep the miniatures when I am done. But a friend of mine doesn't paint at all and his eBay searches didn't come up with a decently painted Dark Elf team. So I did him a favor and painted one up for him. Now I can see why he couldn't find one on eBay to buy, they absolutely are ZERO fun to paint. I hated every minute doing them, but I trudged on and did it. Now mind you my ZERO fun to paint could also have been subconsciously influenced by the fact I knew I wouldn't be adding them to MY collection.

The models are nice, but after dealing with three piece snap together models that GW put out for the Orcs, Dwarfs, Skaven, and Humans, I was "what the hell were they thinking" when they came out with these. Lot's of fiddly bits, and definitely not as easy to put together as the aforementioned models.

But I survived and got them done in time for my buddies second game of our league and he made short work of an Orc team 2 - 0.

Since I wouldn't be able to keep them I at least took photos. So without further ado here they are.

As always thanks for looking.

  2. Excellent work again. They would definitely beat my dwarfs in a painting competition. But appearance may not be enough to ensure a victory over the dwarfs in the finale game of the season.

    1. Thanks Aaron, and I do believe he is. He's kind of like Mr. Spock when it comes to feelings, but I am pretty sure he is happy with them.
