What model to convert into a dwarven apotechary

walkertullaris · Post by **walkertullaris** » Mon Jun 21, 2004 7:58 am

I have just started playing blood bowl (though no newbie to GW stuff, they have been stealing my money since 1993...). I have a Dwarven team that i have painted (2 Runners, 2 Blitzer, 2 Troll Slayers, 7 Longbeards. Will buy and paint the last 3 Longbeards soon).

But how about the apotechary? Have any1 got any nice pics of conversions?

As my coach i am thinking of taking a musician with a drum (with some minor conversion of course) or a Troll Slayer musician with a big horn.

Or does anyone got other ideas?

Cheers!

Welcome to the board. Where in Sweden are you?

Converted Apoths?

Mine's built up from an Orc Wartrack and some old second edition stuff. It's meant to be a fieldcart like you see them bring on to the pitch to carry off injured players. You can see it in this pic:

Lots of folk use Dwarf gun crew members. There's a classic one with a barrel under his arm that I know both Redfang and I have used before.

that barrel guy is from the big dwarf flame cannon

There's also another crew chief, maybe flame cannon too with a nice big apron that'd make him look like a great sawbones.

THAT's the one I meant. I don't have a pic ATM tho.

Here's the apothecary for my Dwarf team, Kazadors Kommandos:

He's not really an apothecary in the 'medical' sense of the word, but for Dwarfs an emergency tankard of Bugmans XXXXXX has a better effect than a magic sponge!!

EDIT:
Oh yeah, he too is based on a Flame Cannon crewdwarf:

I'm making my apothecary is an dwarf with a few cans of Bugmans.
He is for my halfling team, but that's just because I can't convert halfling.

I've always liked the model that Dwarfcoach uses as a dwarf apothecary. Dispenser of treatment and liquid courage.

I am also using the healing power of the "brew" as the basis for my Dwarf apothecary.

I am using this model....

And i have attached this banner stand for the medical flag...
