Setzer's Painting Thread

[SetzerGabbz]

What up, everyone? Thought I'd make a thread, since that's what all the cool kids seem to do, about all the painting and minor conversions I've been doing lately. I have about 14-ish teams worth of figures that are all unpainted, so I'll have plenty to post about in here.

So, first up, I made Grimran 'The Guvnor' from one of the compendiums since I play mainly as Dwarfs (I know, Heff) and ruined a perfectly good Throne Bearer to make a completely useless Star Player that isn't official.



I know, it's pretty blurry. I'll try and get a camera between now and my next post since my phone doesn't seem to be cutting it.

I made a coach for my team, too (again very blurry):



I'm not quite sure who made this one. I found it while digging around in my friend's D&D figure box, and he said I could have it.

I for one want to see more of that Dwarven pitch you have made

I wish I could take credit for the pitch, but I can't (well, I could, but if I was found out it'd turn into a huge scandal). The pitch was actually done by Silver Compass Designs.



The board itself is made of tempered hardboard, the squares are plasticard, and the lines/center are laser engraved plastic. It's split down the middle so it's easier to transport (I might give it hinges later eventually).

It also came with a scoreboard and a custome range ruler for passing since it's a tad bigger than a standard pitch.



I'm still using the basic dugouts because I haven't had a chance to make my own or have found any for sale that match really well.

And then just for completion's sake, I bought a tin of LOTR: Mines of Moria dice. I need to find some good matching block dice.

That is one fantastic looking pitch. Congrats on owning it

[War-Raven]

Outstanding pitch. The inlaid runes are very impressive.

Pitch is lovely. Use it for chaos dwarves, the only dwarves worth a damn.

Heff - what is your record against dwarves (with any team)? Just curious.

Hey I lose as easily against Dwarves as any other team, I just think they are BORING and BROKEN. I think that even I could win with them and I am about the worst coach I know, I just would not sully my hands with the beardy cheesemongers.
Fix the linemen and I don't have a problem at all.

I don't disagree with Heff's argument for Dwarves being over-powered. However, I'm an antagonizing a-hole. So I just wanted to see if there was something more to the high level of hatred he displays for the lil' fellas or if he just enjoys defiling their name.

[SetzerGabbz]

Be that as all the beard-hate may, I do have a Big Hat team that I have mostly painted up. I'm gonna redo them, though, since I'm not 100% happy with them. Plus, I just got two new WFB Bull Centaurs I converted over (finally can put my Hthark in the Star Player goodness), so they're next on my project list after I finish up my Bretonnian team.

The closest you come is probably either of these:

I think these dwarve dice from impact may be more up your alley.

I like the coach by the way, with the little dice on top of his staff he almost has a pimp cane.

[Axtklinge]

What a great pitch!!
Oh and despite the blurry pics, love your conversions!

Get new pics and show them off (team and all the staff)!!!


Cheers!
