Anyone ever see any?

I've seen these 2in plastic toys but it's still too big for use on the Blood Bowl pitch.

I thought about using the old M.U.S.C.L.E. models but they have a weird kinda look to them and I think are also too big.

Any ideas out there? I'd like to make an 80's WWE/WWF themed team.

Best idea I can come up with is do a ton of research on hero clix/horror clix and find similar models and convert them. If you wanted to go more generic, you could make them out of GW marauders.

Any idea what team they will represent and who you want on it?

I had this same thought. I think you're going to have to do a buch of converting to achieve this look.

Look for Superhero minis - some of them will have the sort of look you want.

Burgun, that model is pretty awesome thanks!

Borth, I've had this idea for awhile and I thought I should start looking for models for this. I supposed I could paint on various colored tights to make anyone look the part as long as their body's are mostly skin, like the marauders.

I'm thinking about using Norse rules because the AV7 makes sense if they have no armour, and having Block kinda makes sense for them. Any big guys (Andre) could be a Troll or Ulfwerener or something.

I'd like to have:

Macho Man (always to be listed above Hogan)
Hogan
Ultimate Warrior (berserker)
Jake the Snake
Rick Rude
Hacksaw Jim Duggan
Mr Perfect
Bret Hart
HBK (runner for sure)
Undertaker (ulf?)
Diesel (ulf?)
Razor Ramon
Andre (troll)
DiBiase
Koko B Ware
Bad News Brown

Bane is good: http://cgi.ebay.com/HZ-HeroClix-Hyperti ... _938wt_907

If I could somehow do it all from plastics it would make converting much easier.

On that note, I'm trying to find a link to every heroclix model made with pics....for some reason its harder to find than you'd think.

You will have to register, but you can look through almost all of them.

Jimmy would make a good Ulf for sure.

I really think you're going to have to do some kit bashing if you want this to turn out properly. But bare in mind that I tend to be a bit anal retentive about my minis. :-?

No Rowdy roddy piper, sgt slaughter or honky tonk man?

and change the Ulitimate warrior to a runner (dauntless) and have the Legion of Doom for your berzerkers complete with pads (these would be doable from Matauders)

Can't believe noone has made the LoD as minis...back in 2nd ed I had two Ogres on a Choas team painted with as close as I could manage to their make up.

You guys know that Animal's son is a pro football player now?

That is scary, I was also wondering why the Legion of Doom were omitted, they would make great berserkers or ulfs.
