Contagion - Team Shot

Contagion have now been safely delivered to the (hopefully) proud owner.

TheGonkMachine wishes them the very best of luck in their Bloodbowl season!

Is The Armour Too Dirty?

This "white" armour has almost meant the nail varnish remover came out!

The armour pieces were to start off white but then decayed and leaking fluids.  At first they were too pristine like a Space Marine or High Elf, with grey shadows and layers of white and whiter.

I think this brown/bone/white combo works better.

Over to Sparky Dave for his input!
Obviously, there's still a ton of work to be done but the armour is pretty important on these guys.

Squidboy/Ebola

Haven't had much of a sesh today as had chores to do.  However, whilst out and about I popped in the new(ish) games shop in Rugby Shadow Games.  They seem like a nice bunch and saw several other "Vaulters" over there.
I bought a new yellow Flash Gitz Yellow and a new "shade" Casandora Yellow both from GW - I'll be trying these out on the Chaos team to hilight the pus nodules on the various gonks.
Talking of the Chaos team here's the "Minotaur":
I need to splash some more paint on but this is the kind of "sea" look I'd been after.  (He won't be gloss later and he may change completely if Sparky Dave doesn't like him - it's all in the air!)

There's more time left in the day so I'm gonna crack on.

A Quick Pic

I've been persuaded to show a progress photo.

Not sure if you can see too much at the moment but here we go:

I had to gloss SquidBoy, (really called Ebola).  He's going to have very pale armour and a dark loin cloth.  He's gonna stand out anyway with his octopus head so I thought he should be really different to the rest of the team.  (I hope he's gonna be OK with Sparky Dave).

Contagion Big Guy

Today, been mostly working and then reworking on the big guy for the Contagion Chaos Bloodbowl team.  I call him SquidBoy.

I was going to blend from blue through to orange but there's an armoured waist where the blue/orange would take place. (It also started to look a bit "plasticine brown" if you know what I mean?

That lot came off.  I then decided to base then skin colour on greens and blues finishing with an orangey head. 

No pics at the moment as it would spoil the surprise!
