Countdown To Vault Bowl.....

Now that the two big guns are well stuck, (I had to make sure the glue was really dry).  I have now undercoated them.
As time is of the essence, (only three sleeps until Vault Bowl at The Games Vault), I have opted for a simple paint job.
Black undercoat for the troll which will be blue/green and flesh spray from Army Painter for the ogre.

Now have to wait for these to dry.

C'mon dry quicker!

OK, so I've eventually managed to drill and pin and glue those arms and hands on to the two larger gonks.  I hate metalwork, love painting.

To save precious time I sprayed my Star Player white and once dried gave him an immediate wash of sepia.  This will easily identify the details and I hope cut some time later.

Whilst this was drying I added a thinned black to a few bits that I will want darker or will add a metallic colour to later on.

Part of the plan is to do a couple of extras.  These will include my star player.

I'm playing as humans - they're called The Intergalactic and are made up of Space Marines and Imperial Guard. I had great fun raiding my bitz box, (pictures of the team will follow later).

My start player is Helmut Wulf and he's got a chainsaw.  I decided that he should stand out and look like he's having a "warp spasm" just like Sláine from 2000AD fame.  (Man, I loved that character). 

For full warp spasm effect I extended the torso and stretch this to an odd angle; used an Ork arm which looks MASSIVE on the normal marine torso and also gave him a popped out eye!

I'm also helping with Steve's Team.  He's playing Goblins, so, as a bit of encouragement I secretly painted a ball and chain fanatic for his birthday:

This team is themed as having spent a lot of time underground hence the grey skin but the Vault's colours are orange and black.

I am also planning a couple of extras, to be announced...

Countdown to Vault Bowl

VaultBowl is a two day BloodBowl Tournament which is being held at The Games Vault in Daventry this weekend, (18th and 19th September).

I am playing with humans, (not played them much before as I normally try and smash through with Orcs).  I've got a few things to do before Saturday and I'll try and keep track of them right here.

OKAY.  I'm a bit behind, (too much work, family, dog and now running!), but I reckon it can be done. Firstly: the three prizes:

Check them out.

Finished the Harlequin Troupe!
Managed to take some snaps but by the time the matt varnish had dried and I'd cut the grass in the jungle/back garden, I have managed to lose the light.

I'll try for some crisper pictures tomorrow, (if the sun is out...).

Now.  What's next?
