Very nice indeed. Did you convert the minis in any way?

Yes. The skavens are from the starter box of Warhammer. I would have all the players with habits, so I've picked the skavens with large coats.

Stormvermins are made from Skaven Lord.

Goblins are from the Night goblins box of Warhammer.

And the troll is one rat ogre from the starter WH box again. I've modeled the head to have the Warpstone troll.

Really like your painting skills and the skaven players, but I'm not really sold on the gobbo skin colour.

It was deliberate. Tries to get a goblin skin colour without sun exposure. Not albino but a goblin skin after years in the underworld

To begin with, I fixed three issues on this team:

1- To be coherent (have goblins and Skavens that fit, not a group of skavens and a group of goblins attached to each other). And that's why I tried to get le habits to all them.

2- Escape from the typical black style in night gobbos. That's why I picked Bone+Blue.

3- To emphasize the underworld fashion. I already have a Goblin and a Skaven team, so I would have a real underworld team and not an intermediate team made with regular skavens and goblins. That's why I tried to get a palid goblin flesh, a Troll with skaven modifications, etc.

Thank you for your feedback!

Very nice work Pakulkan!
Love how the team looks as a whole, and particularly the pale tones you've chosen for them!
Good job!

Good stuff! I really like how everything but the blue is muted.

I used to have a Chaos Dwarf team based on Erreala, myself. To give you an idea of how long ago it was, my star hobgoblin was Shabby Alonso.

Great looking team. I prefer the character of the Skaven more than the less interesting gobbos, but they really hang together nicely as a team

That troll conversion based off the rat ogre is a perfect fit. I really like it.

Thank you guys for your comments. I also want to note I made a sort of experiment and based the painting of the team mostly in using shades on the white primer coat.

I think it worked decently. I only needed to repaint blue, skin and metal areas and then add the shade layers.

Last illuminations were made as usual, but I think some shade layers gave the minis fast fading base to work with. Specially in the bone coat which is almost 70% of the whole team...

@Gaixo: I picked Real Sociedad because the joke in spanish (Suciedad = dirtiness, so the team's name is Real Dirtiness) and I've used the names of the most dirty football players I've recall or appear in web lists.

They played very well the 17th LBN this year. First in regular league and finally KO in semifinals both in the Cup and League Play-offs, they've done more than expected for an Underworld team. I just forgot about any pressure and focus on a bash play for them. I had tons of fun with them, and I will recover the team in near future for tourneys when I'm done with the 24 this year.

BTW, I forgot to take a photo of the whole team. I will do so in order to have the family image ASAP.

Thank you again!
