Wow, awesome response. Thanks everyone. I was going to take a picture with the whole team in it, but the battery died just then. I'll take one without the display (when I get it done), and one with them on it. I'll probably add some stuff to the bases so they go together with the display.

You either have some kind of art qualification...or talent...or both! Particularly like the rust effect on the metal.

Did you look a my Rackham Blood Bowl work (I paint a team over 2 years or so, I am one of the world's slowest painters, so totally relate to your Underworld team!), or are we simply spontaneously painting the same kind of red hair on hooves and the Mid Nor Caterpillar-taurs?

I'm madly finishing my Nurgle team for tomorrow's Euc Bowl so I haven't taken photos of the completed team yet:

I can not say I have seen your team before. I always thought them to be more centipede-like, which would make them fast even at that scale, rather than caterpillars.

My inspiration for the blazing orange hair (rather than red) came from Horekim's second edition chaos dwarf team, as seen here; http://www.verdensmand.com/bloodbowl/chaosdwarfs

That's totally fine. Look, leading scientific theory thinks the wheel was spontaneously developed in multiple places at the same time, as well as bows and arrows (I disagree, but I do think inventions can be developed simultaneously in different places without collusion).
At the end of the day, this is not copyrighted artwork! I wouldn't care if you had taken it, I was only curious. I have made two Rackham Blood Bowl teams now, the first being Dwarves using some figs including the minis you used for the Chaos Dwarf Blockers as blitzers. That dwarf team was then reproduced somewhat similarly (not the exact same figures) with a BETTER paint job, by someone in Western Australia while I was making them... Great idea but beaten to it. I was wondering if this was the same, but my team will be finished TOMORROW (I have about 4 hours of shading and highlighting to go on my Cyclops of Mid Nor as my beast).
(The Cyclops of Mid Nor is a great mini but a little TOO big, I have squeezed him onto the same base that the old Big Guys game with in 3rd Ed - the square big guy base, but the round 40mm base is too small.)

I only asked in part as I was stunned when searching Mid Nor images on Google and one of my quick, dirty and unfinished photos for my dodgy painting blog in Ausbowl were already on page 2.

Also - love the comment about Centipedes, although in my case these Incubi are Nurgle Warriors, so I want them to be slow!

Today's special. Har Ganeth Nightwings.

Dark elves made from the Black scorpion team. Just look at the frowns on their faces. I never thought pro or high elves when I saw them. The witches are from Raging Heroes. All the team members had the silly symbol shaved off their chest armor, less is more, I think. Left the wings on the left shoulders intact, since I could work it into the team name. Will probably file the gem flat on the wing, so I can add player numbers there.

Linemen
Image

Nothing major here. Shortened the mohawks to a reasonable length, slightly repositioned a few guys' legs.

Blitzers
Image

Head swaps (Helmeted, for recognition and AV 8). Arm repositioning (that one elbowing guy is going to get a closed fist still) And one of the blitzers was built from a really terribly posed lineman - 15 pieces and some greenstuff.

Runner ( I think I can manage with just one)
Image

Nothing major here.

Witch elves
Image

(bad picture) Nothing major here, just weapon cuts. One of them still needs her arms :)

Other teams haven't progressed much, except the Nurgle, which is being painted right this moment. Should be done in a few weeks. Should be :) Got the linerats for the UW team, so let's see what happens with them.

Can I suggest removing the gemstones off the loincloths hanging down, too?

Otherwise, they look good. :)

The Black Scorpion elves look very good. I'm considering those as well. Are these metal figures?
The quality of the cast is good?

they look overall cool, but the right blitzer seems to have a "big hand" mutation issue
