Talk Fantasy Football

I just thought, it could be interesting for some TBBs Painters out there, thinking about bringing a BB team for this paint competion at the German GD 2005. ( Like i did ! )

From the GW GD2005 website (sorry, german language only):
http://www.games-workshop.de/home/veran ... demon.shtm

... Bitte beachte die Neuerungen, die im Rahmen einer Anpassung an die internationalen Standards von Games Workshop erfolgen: Die Kategorien „Blood Bowl“ und „Der Herr der Ringe Einheit“ entfallen ab diesem Jahr....

Rough translation... no more BB and LOTR category from now because of international standards of GDs all over the world.

So i´m lucky i got one of the 6 demons given away the last 2 years for BB teams Pity, there is no inscription on mine, for what i got him.

Hm, so i have to think, what i will do and paint next for this event... still it should be BB related... there will be just the Open-Category or the "Duell"-Category left now.

BTW... anyone coming ? I ordered my ticket already.

Can't you enter a BB team in "Warhammer regiment"? or "Battlescene"?
Sounds like GW shooting themselves in the foot. As usual.

I know at GamesDay LA, the rules specifically said that Blood Bowl and Mordheim entries were acceptable in Warhammer Fantasy categories, and Necromunda was OK in Warhammer 40K. I was actually considering -- and had begun acquiring bitz for -- a Blood Bowl team entry into the Warhammer Fantasy Regiment category there... that is, before I broke my wrist, couldn't paint or model, and skipped GDLA altogether. But looking on the bright side, I just figure that now I've got on early start on next year.

I'd recommend the WFB regiment category too, not open category. I think last years UK bronze for regiments went to a Delf BB team.

(Edit: Chris Blair's gorgeous Dark elf team. People who were at the 2004 BB will have seen it as one of the best paint nominees. - Thads)

Down side is you prolly won't get Gold for a BB team in the regiment category I suppose...

I'd recommend the WFB regiment category

If GW accepts this, it will be better than the OpenCategory for sure !

Traveller

Yep it's the same in France. If you want to show a BB team, you have to suscribe in the Warhammer Regiment category.

That sucks Traveller! Sorry to hear it. Has it been almost a year since your magnificent Orc Thrower was entered? Time flies....

Does this mean we'll be getting to see your new project soon then? I can't wait!

Time flies....

Yes, very true... and this year happend a lot... and it´s not over yet

I can't wait!

Sorry, but you have to wait a bit longer... but, after ending moving house next weekend, i will get a lot more time for things to do what I want to do...

- After the frustrating ogre team playing with in my league i maybe will paint now first the new GW Humans for the tournament games. Not much to convert on the the players,but still a lot support stuff to change...
- Maybe a nice Duell scenario for the GD ? But just 2 months left... i dont think i can made it in time ?!
- But still there is a project about a homemade pitch and a table in my mind...

Traveller

Don't worry Trav, anything you produce is always a enjoyment to see on the forum.

You could always do a "battle scene" for the duel category...

griff vs varag ....and put a title on the base with some cool description.

I have to paint those 5 ed minis, too, you mean ?
Actualy i was thinking about a battlescene using a larger scale like the size i did with my BigBBThrower. But that takes a lot of time, just searching the parts to convert and all the greenstuffing... at last not time enough until end of August. But i will check Forgeworld now...

Traveller

U know...you could always do more than one entry

battlescene for duel entry,

team for regiment entry,

and a single mini for warhammer entry.....Increase your odds

That was my original GDLA plan, for the team entry in Fantasy Regiment and a Duel entry as well, but then I came up with an idea for a 40K Duel scene instead. Now that I've got 10 months to do it all, I'll do the team and I might do both the 40K scene and a Blood Bowl scene, putting one in the Duel category and one in the Open; Fantasy single is now an option, as well. Decisions, decisions... at least I've got plenty of time!

just start on this stuff for next years GD!!!!!!!!
that is a real must have !!


for a nice "quick dual battle scene" I've thoughtsince I fisrt saw her:
zara running away for the new deathroller and a death human already under the deathroller.. would be quite cool I think.. and not to much conversions.. only building scenery stuff and painting so a bit quick.

but whatever you do i'm sure it will be great !! as usual !!
