Blood bowl 2 chaos team5/5/2023 ![]() I already have a few Fanatics around so I grabbed one I’d already painted and press-ganged him into the team.Īnyway, enough of models I’ve already painted – lets look at some new stuff! My next step was to dig around in the bits box and kitbash myself a Bomma with a suitability volatile-looking fungal bomb. Anyway, that left me with three positions to fill the Fanatic, Loony and Bomma. A while ago, when I was putting in an order with Forge World, I talked myself into buying models for three of these positions the ‘Ooligan, Pogoer and Doom Diver. The art of playing Goblins, it has often been repeated to me, is to drag the opposition down to your level and beat them with experience. These tricky, sneaky, cheaty little so-and-so’s are where a lot of the strengths (such as they are) of a Goblin team lie, or so I’m told anyway. I also have a troll who I might as well get my moneys’ worth out of now that I’ve finally got around to painting him.Īs well as the ordinary Goblin Linemen and their Trained Trolls there are six other positions on a Goblin team. Of course it’s taken me a while to get around to it, but here we are at last. They wouldn’t be a very good team but still…īack when I started my original Orc team I bought myself a set of Goblins, partly to assist the Orcs and partly because I thought at some point I’d like to paint the whole set and have a Goblin team as well. I painted six of the runty little gits for my Black Orcs and another four for my normal Orcs, which means I have almost enough to field a team already. The thing is, I actually have quite a few Goblins already. Another Blood Bowl team Wudugast? Another greenskin team? I mean, fair enough, paint more teams, Blood Bowl is cool, but you do know there’s more to the game than just green guys right? You’ve already got an Orc team, and a Black Orc team, and then there’s those Snotlings that you should be finishing – do you need to start a Goblin team as well? Not yet though because the next little while is going to be all about the greenskins! In the meantime though I might well come back to these furry little guys soon and turned them into a full blown Skaven team. If only Games Workshop would do something to refresh the range in a serious way *hint-bloody-hint*. ![]() It’s been a while since I painted any Skaven so this was a refreshing reminder of how much I enjoy them. Having poured over the rules for literally minutes, and applied my next-to-nonexistent knowledge of how the game is played, I concluded that the best thing to do would be to paint up one each of the available Skaven positions, starting with a gutter runner…Īnd just like that another team is formed and ready for sporting glory! In other words all I needed to do to get another Blood Bowl team up and running was paint a few rats – and having already painted hundreds of them for WHFB I reckoned that would be no bother. The team draws upon the dubious combined talents of goblins (of which I recently completed a team), snotlings (of which I have plenty already painted), skaven and a big guy such as a troll. That’s when it struck me – if you want dastardly rascals look no further than the Underworld Denizens team truly a bunch of scheming ne’er-do-wells if ever I saw them! For the uninitiated the Underworld’s teams are made up of a mixture of creatures which make their homes in dank caves deep beneath the earth and emerge only to play Blood Bowl before slinking back into the gloom. The other day I was thinking about Blood Bowl teams and pondering how I could cheat and behave in a devious manner in order to achieve my aims (in this case to have lots of teams painted up and ready for a game). If the problem doesn’t resolve itself soon I’ll look into seeing if there’s anything I can do at my end – in the meantime the website doesn’t appear to be affected so if it bothers you (and it should!) please go to and look at the posts there.Īnyway, time to get back to the 41st Millennium! I presume this is yet another case of WordPress deciding to make work for themselves and irritate their users by finding something that ain’t broke and attempting to fix it anyway, bless ‘em. Incidently, those of you who’re viewing this through the WordPress reader may find that some of the pictures are strangely outsized and distorted. Anyway, he’s done now – rival sportsmen beware! The infamous Blood Bowl star player Varag Ghoul-Chewer has been on the edge of my painting desk since last Orctober and I finally faced the fact that he’s not going to paint himself – impressive though that might be – so I’d better get on with it myself. ![]() I think I promised that this month was going to be all about Orks with a “K” but needless to say an Orc has rudely barged in anyway.
