Coaches and Cheerleaders

I'm quite curious how many people out there bother with coaches and cheerleader miniatures. Back in the day I bought a Skaven pack leader (complete with whip and in a very coach-like pose, pointing his finger) to use as my coach... but I've never met anyone who owns any cheerleaders.

i own cheerleaders but they are kak now. assit coach not much better so never painted one since 1990. Ref worth the effort for a counter for his gaze, but one for life sounds plenty.

Made the effort for a head coach for a tourni but next time i need a painted cheerleader i expect i will using a stairmaster

Blood bowl, more than any other GW game I can think of, is about having a bit of fun... Painting refs, cheerleaders and support staff just add to the fun :)

And, if you go by the rules, you should have an "appropriately painted Citadel miniature" if you're going to use coaching staff in your games :wink:

I reckon if you're going to spend time painting a team, it's worth a little extra time to make some coaching staff for them. It was to me anyway...

Here's you coach. Add a ballcap and WHAM! Instant coach. A lot of people do coaches and apothecaries at the very least.

I try to make all coaching staff for all my teams but I seem to be the only person in my league who does. Its a shame the rules for AC and Cheer leaders are so poop coz it discourages every one from bothering :-?

I did have a Referee but Im Pretty sure it was stolen at my last games club which Im really gutted about. :evil: :evil: :cry:

I have at least a head coach and apothecary for all of my teams. I add cheerleaders and assistant coaches when its a team that I've played a while. For instance, I've been playing my Dark Elfs in a league for two years now. I've got the headcoach and apothecary, 5 assistant coaches (Retired players and DE star players I don't use) and 5 cheerleaders. Its fun and adds to my enjoyment of the game.

I have 22 teams, and all them have head coach, apo and my favorites have assitants too.

my team, the Bald eagles, have 22 figures in staff: players, coaches, cheerleaders...

Yeah, I might take the time to prepare a wizard and apothecary mini, but not a cheerleader or assistant coaches. I'm just lazy! Plus they're rarely used in the game as Underdog mentioned.

It can be as simple as using an existing model from the fantasy miniatures. I use a basic Skink Preist for a Lizardmen Apothecary! :)
