Talk Fantasy Football

well i was sitting in my bedroom the other day and i just wanted to paint or atleast design or create a new blood bowl team as i have all of my two first teams painted, i obviosly couldnt paint, so i came sat down and then all my ideas flew out of my head and i had no idea on what to convert, so i cam on here and typed this message mabye if someone has ideas to give me.
say i migght use old warhammer modles or even warhammer 40k models to create or even crate from green stuff or puty so can you help.
thanks

if you want to convert a bb team a regiment box set of warhammer is quite good to start with!
the parts are plastic so you can convert them fairly easy, just weapon snip and ad some shoulder pads, make some cool poses and you've got yourself a quite cool team.

to create a whole team out of putty or greenstuff will take a lot of practise and is very hard ! (I'm currently trying that stuff and it's realy hard to make a decent model! )

so I advise you to convert a team out of warhammer plastics, hope it helps a bit!!
lots of people made a team out of warhammer plastics, so did I!

I made my own out of greenstuff.
I know they aren't the best but they look quite cool on my gobos:


also the shoulder pad on the troll on the right I made out of brownstuff (sort of greenstuff) and also the kneepads and shoulderpads are made out of greenstuff:


here at the uk online gw shop a search on "shoulder":

gives you quite some shoulder pads but buying 16 of them might become a bit expensive.

I heard people talk about the "marauder sprue" shoulderpads which should be quite good but then you should buy a whole marauder box.


What team do you want to convert actualy??

Djengis, can you tell me if the Troll on the right is a Blood Bowl figure? If not any idea where I can pick one up?

Thanks,

Dino

its a conversion of a stonetroll:

I cut away the stoneaxe, and turned the hand. I made a shoulderpad and a kneepad out of brownstuff.

if you scroll down the GW page I gave you can also see other stonetrolls which are cool to convert !


Djengis

It depends. What plastics do you already have sitting around? Some Khemri skeletons? Do up a Khemri team. Some Dark Eldar plastics? Do up a dark elf team. There are some really nice plastics out there. Lizardmen! There you go, do a LM team!

erm i have no idea waht team to convert or make, i have only space marines spures at home i did thisnk about doing a space marine team but i need help with designs and stuff as i have only been collecting a couple of months.
so can you all get your brains together and help please.
thanks

I'd like to help but I have no clue how the space marine parts look.
try to find some pics and I think everyone can help you better.

most of the time I don't realy make a "design" just pick the parts I like and then put them on with a bit of greenstuff temporely and try some different poses and stuff.

some important things which you can use on almost every conversion are:
* when you remove a weapon out of a hand: drill or cut a little hole in the first so the suface of the hand isn't flat. Else will it will be imidiately visible that you removed a weapon.
* sometimes twist the wrist a bit like I did with the hand of my troll the it won't look like it has ever been holding something!!

if you need more tips please try to be more specific in your questions as they are now a bit vage I think.
and you should "design" your own team for the bigset part I think. Just do what you like and which poses YOU like thats the most important!!!

I would aoid making a space marine team. Unless you make some major conversions it would be pretty hard.

Ok, help us out a bit. What teams would you like to play? And then we'll tell you about ways to make them! Otherwise its just like trying to guess at what you want.

creation is 5% inspiration, 95 % perspiration...

why not try chaos dwarfs they mostly suck and need fresh ideas. - or maybe high elf as they have NEVER looked good.

as i have already said i have no clue on what team i want to convert thats why im asking for some help on this so if you have ideas on what team i should create or you could even give me a good warhammer army to convert into a team that is already not a team ok so if yo can help please do so ive chosen not to a space marine team so give me ideas pleas.
thanks

Ok. Dark Elves. Out of a box of Dark Eldar. Go! To the store at once!

just check around at the gw online shop.
you can see all the regiment boxes and you can look what you like and buy the stuff.
