My own stuff

Norse - GW & Brutefun - WIP

One of many on the pile of shame currently. I started these guys in late 2022 and then the commission work picked up a bit more so naturally they fell by the wayside. I started with the tokens with this one, more as a test for the 'hot pink' and the snow effect and rather than just using the standard ones I made my own reroll counters from leftover bits. I now have way more tokens than is probably necessary for any one team.

The beserkers have had some hair transplants from the GW dwarf team.

Swift Twins - Kitbashed from GW bits

I always wanted the Swift Twins as an option for my Elven Union team. They are actually good TV for money skills-wise; the problem is trying to fit in 340 TV into an already expensive positional team when you usually already have to sacrifice something. So when the opportunity came through BBQBowl to build them in I started work on this project, although I wasn't going to shell out 30+ quid for the GW ones...I had a go at kitbashing them myself.

The thrower piece is pretty standard, catcher body and head with the right hand from the original thrower's open hand and a ball carefully removed and transferred onto this one.

The Blitzer is a bit more Franken-elf and I can't remember exactly what went into him but it was all GW Elf parts. The punch-dagger I made from some left over knives from another kit completely.

The half-masks were 'fun' to try to line up but I think they turned out ok.

The breast-plate swirls are actually bows from a Warlord skeleton warrior kit that I had in the bits box from my Tomb Kings team I made some time before. A bit of green-stuff for the the gems and off to the painting booth they went.

Human Team - The Albion Wanderers (mostly GW)

Possibly my proudest moment (in miniature painting terms) was getting my team onto the Warhammer Community website . A really fun project I started during full lockdown that took me a fair few hours work. Love playing with these guys and its nice to here comments back from my opponents, even when I dish out the rare dicing. The chainsaw dude I got from Glasbowl one year as a free gift, I'm not sure who the manufacturer/designer is but its a cool piece and fits in nicely with the style.

Elven Union - Games Workshop

I bought the boxed set of these guys fairly early in my adventures, painted up a few of them and then got side tracked with the Albion Wanderers team above. I finally got back to them and finished them off in late 2020. I now have a second boxed set and set about converting a couple of them into additional catchers and the Swift Twins as well as a couple of journeymen that will be inevitably required. The star player is from Greebo miniatures, "Jenell Lightbreeze"; with the return of the rules for Jordan Freshbreeze she may well get a proper outing sometime.

Lizardmen - Games Workshop with Krox from Lost Kingdom

I do like the GW Lizardmen team. Although there's not much in the way of variation they are still very good looking minis and I went pretty much with the box-art colours. I've seen so many good schemes out there I couldn't decide and so ended up not deciding. I actually got the Krox first as a Christmas present from my younger brother and went with the blue skin so when I got the GW team I thought it was best to stick with that.

Goblin Referee

I got this miniature from Etsy as a freebee when purchasing one of the UGNI treemen. Wasn't expecting it and so it was a nice surprise. I'd never have used it though so decided to paint up and sell to someone who'd enjoy it more.

Chaos Dwarf Chainsaw Star Player - Sy-Coraxe Stihl - Geoff Solomon-Sims of Oakbound Studios

I got this miniature very early on, I don't even recall where from. I think my older bro gave it to me as a present one year. There is no corresponding team if I remember correctly but Oakbound Studios have some very cool stuff. This one is cast in metal but they now do resin as well.

Chaos Chosen Team - Various brands

This was my first proper team getting back into the hobby. I had the Humans and Orcs from the 3rd edition boxed set but this was the first eBay find. It started with a beastman team essentially, a mix of the 3rd edition metal models and some WFB proxies. I added greenstuff to make shoulder pads and straps, a reasonable noob effort I thought. The warriors below were an xmas present from my bro and the mino is from Black Scorpion miniatures. Scylla is the old WFB model that was an eBay bargain. The odd looking mino mascot thing is a custom sculpt made (not by me) for a friend's Chaos Renegades team.

Dwarf Team

I love these guys. Not so much the paint job but I think they were my first fully completed team from the new bunch and they were certainly my first team in the new BB 2016 style & scale. The Deathroller I especially like - firstly because its a cool take on the idea and secondly because it actually fits on the pitch in a single square. I'm not sure where the apothecary/mechanic piece is from but I got it just for fun really.

Tomb Kings Team

I also really love these guys, purely for the fact that they are all non-GW, or even fantasy football manufacturer minis for that matter - the positionals are all metal Reaper miniatures and the skeleton linemen are a plastic kit from Warlord. I greenstuffed on lots of bits here - the Blitzers' (#9/10) breastplates, shoulder pads, kneepads and strapping for the punch daggers, the skeletons' loin cloths and shoulder pads and the strapping for the Guardians' punch daggers as well. The "Bryce the Slice" skeleton samurai proxy was a later addition, also a Reaper miniature. The project actually came together really quickly which surprised me and I've since had a lot of fun with this team - a lot of disappointment but a lot of fun.

Goblins & Orcs Teams

I'm going to bundle these two together since I use the goblins on the orc team sometimes and the stars and trolls also like to play for both. The orcs are all 2nd and 3rd edition GW metal and plastic miniatures coming from the 3rd ed boxed set and eBay finds, before they got silly expensive. Trolls are both 2nd edition (I think one was a star originally, but they are pretty common to find on eBay). Ripper I had to wait years for and one kindly facebooker sold him to me for under-value since I gave him some advice to sell it for more. I'm not happy with Varag's paint job since I used a brush-on varnish that went a bit cloudy - I'll have to repaint him when the pile of shame gets to near 0 miniatures (so never basically). The 3rd Ed Nobbla Blackwart was an eBay rescue - some heathen had cut his left hand off...(why?!?) so I had to repair it with a slightly filed down skaven hand - luckily I'd saved this from a conversion I'd done for the BB2016 team on this same page.

The goblins are from Uscarl miniatures, a French company and I was worried they wouldn't arrive since it was during the first lockdown I think. They fit nicely with the 2nd and 3rd Ed GW models because they are sculpted by the man himself, Kevin Adams. There was no doomdiver model so I crafted a wing out of cocktail sticks and paper, then drilled the fists for one lucky gobbo and passed a wire through. I think the nose-picker was meant to be the 'dirty player' piece but I had a WFB plastic goblin lying around and tried a little greenstuff sculpting of the foam finger for the 'ooligan.
