5th edition custom Lizardmen Blood Bowl team

Hardly old by the forum standard but still 17 years old so not that bad ;) I buy and trade a lot of the older minis and convert them with newer kits to create a (hopefully) very unique esthetic with my models. You can see this in my O&G and VC army in the showrom on this forum.

Now for this team I inherited my younger brothers lizardmen. I decided to make a team out of the metal minis in that collection. I will get more minis for the lizardmen army in some time, but that will be newer stuff.

Skinks:


I used kroot arms to get better posing on them. Looks kinda out of scale in the pics but it`s not so bad irl.

Saurus and "kroxigor":


The ones with bonehelmets will be defensive players, with block and guard I guess. I have two more that will have feathers and be more blitzer types on the team.
Then it`s the old slann. I know I know, probably heresy to chop him up but I wanted him in the team. Especially since there where no kroxigors. I wonder where they are...

Cheers mate :) I`ve done some more greenstuffing on the slann/krox. Mainly restoring the necklace and more gap filling and smoothing over the surfaces that got damaged with the clippers. The blockers are getting painted as we speak.

Agh - bloody Lizardmen always giving my Dark Elves a hard time on Blood Bowl Legendary! :mad:

All the same some interesting looking conversions - especially the Slann!

Looking forward to seeing some paint on them :)

Never played with or against lizardmen so looking forward to it :) Btw, I love DE. Probably my fav team to play with. Combo of violence & speed is fantastic :grin:

Yup that's what got me hooked - till they run into a team where they are outgunned strength wise by the Saurus and Kroxigors and are forced to watch helplessly as a lowly Skink runs home with the touch down! :lol:

Let`s hope I have a good one with the lizzies then ;)

But I`m playing with a skaven team for the next pro-season we`re running. That will also be a first for me. I`ve squished ehm I mean played a lot against skaven but I still want to try it myself :)

Looking forward to seeing some paint on these!

DE are also my favourite team, had loads of success with them, but I am now currently trying out Skaven (which I don't really like) and am top of our league so all is going well so far. Just waiting for that game where half the team die! :grin: :? :cry:

Painting has started and I even got inspired on the colour scheme from a thread here on these forums ;)

Yes DE are fantastic. Especially since they are quite bashy and I play primarily that style of team (CD, O, G, U). However I looked at the new HE plastics in the last WD and I`m considering a HE team just for laughs and a "good" variant of my DE team. So fun to have high Mv and Ag! I have aired that I`m after a vintage Elf/Pro Elf team in the marketplace in my trade thread but no response yet :(

Feels like it`s taken forever but when I finally cracked the mental barrier of getting the job done it all went very fast.

Here`s the two first saurus done:


Wanted a simplistic but striking colour scheme. I think I nailed that. The thought is that they have dyed everything red before they go to war on the pitch. Oh and just to keep the retrofeel proper I used Lightning Bolt Blue from the old Citadel paints on the skin and scales. Aaand in true old-pot style the lid went off, on my pants then on the floor and making a right old mess....not everything was better before! On the subject of saurus, the last four will be done in a day or two.

I`ve also made more progress on the kroxigor:

Mainly smoothing out the damage after I clipped off the legs and arms of the original mini but also making the necklace. Very pleased with the greenstuffing on the necklace.

Nice look you've got going there. I'm trying to to come up with a scheme for my old Lizardmen but am being drawn to the blue. I must have been brainwashed! :lol:

Agh - I'd almost forgotten this happening with those old citadel pots! Ruined a few pairs of jeans in the past in a similar manner!

I know...I was going for something entirely else than blue but got caught as soon as I put paint to brush.. :lol:

Yes those lids are the work of Nuffle himself!!

The last PiP players for the lizardmen team:


Some skinks and the kroxigor that are finished:


And for last some new markers I`ll use on all of my teams. These are for touchdowns, turn and re-roll.

Last three players for the team, all skinks:


Linked them with the kroxigor through similar helmet style.

Then it`s a teampic:

Quick and fast job, just as I like it :) The I own team with the most striking colour scheme at least.

Nice enough for a quickie! =)

I'm particularily impressed by the krox's ability to stand up, with those scrawny legs supporting that behemoth beer gut! =D Come to think of it, we have a guy like that here at work.
