Talk Fantasy Football

I'm working on a Lahmian based Vampire team at the moment. Vampires will be conversions using the 3 vamps from the coven throne, AoW Countess, Female Vampire lord and the Female Inquisitor.

The thralls will be made from Sisters Repentia.

For the stars I don't think Morg, J Earlice or Wilhelm Chaney really fit the team but I do want to make the other 3. The count will be Isabella Von Carstein whilst Helmut will be a Death Cult Assassin with a chainsaw and face mask.

I think I have to include Crazy Igor, as along with the Count he is the quintessential Vampire team star player. But sside from a brief bit of fluff elsewhere in the forum and the pic below we don't know much about him.

His role seems to be being a punching bag and food source so I think it is appropriate for him to be the only male on the team. As the other thralls are a bit fetishy (I do plan on BBing up them a bit) I thought he could go down a similar route, either using the Dark Eldar Medusae body or the bound psyker.

The other possibility could be an effete pretty boy combining Sigvald the Magnificent with Griff.

So, any suggestions on what I could do that would make him fit the team but also look like an actual Bloodbowl player?

I'd say standard hunchback of notradame type. mini wise, plastic gw ghoul with flagalant head. greenstuff hunch, shorts and pads.

Hope that helps!

He's not meant to be that type of Igor (ie hunchback).

His original name was Mad Max ... Jervis didn't like the name so it moved to Crazy Igor. Igor is supposed to be more a reference to a tough Russian type than a deformed hunchback.

Igor grew up in the Boardlands. The chaos influences messed him up pretty badly mentally and also gave him superhuman endurance and regenerative abilities. Igor was also twisted ... twisted in that he love the realms of the Vampires more than that of his own people. Igor's life dream is to one day be a vampire. So he freelances for them hoping to earn favour and be turned.

The Vampire teams hire him because his mutations serve them well as does his attitude.

So the concept for Crazy Igor was a tough as nails Chaotic Marauder who is probably insane by anyone's definition.

I would have never guessed that. Always assumed he was a hunchback.

Cheers Galak, so maybe the chained gimp look is more appropriate then.

I don’t want him to look too chaotic or grubby as I can’t see Lahmians chowing down on the neck of some scruffy mutant.

I also thought he was a hunchback. I suddenly like him better.

so he's more a Mad Monk Rasputin rip off than a Hunchback of Notre Dame rip off.. good to know.. and much easier to convert from empire plastics as well!

For the record ... I said JJ that calling him Igor was a bad call since the game had an Igor inducement. Ah well ... just evidence that I didn't always get my way when it came to the final BB rules.

Tom

But it also has a Max too. Maybe Ivan would have been more appropriate.

or Vlad..

out of interest, just went to the GW version of the LRB6 and found no reference to Igor on there.. though I did see a nice thanks to Tom from JJ

can I safely assume this is NOT the current version of the rules in that case..

Igor is an inducement in CRP. Allows you to re-roll a Regeneration roll.

Yep: http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_Cus ... _Rules.pdf
Not sure how you got to that one, as it's not linked to on the BB page (at least here in the UK).

I think he was referring to Crazy Igor.

Awesome Vampire project, spubbbba! I think this is a good option to complete it:

I guess, depending on size, that one is okay.... I'd really like one that is based on Marty Feldman's "Eye-gore"....
