Nuln City Great Cannons: Plastic Humans

Post by Akka »

Hi, TFF! This time I thought I'd share a quick project I did last week. This was a commissioned plastic human team from the Blood Bowl boxed game. I chose grey and black to represent the city-state Nuln, known for it's artillery in Warhammer. This was also the first time I painted the plastic human team, and I was quite surprised by how much fun they were, even though the models themselves aren't very varied. These took two sessions from start to finish.

I hope to be able to share more commissions in the near future!

Grey is very fashion for minis theses days, excellent job !

Perhaps just add a touch of color for the ogre that is still missing.

Very nice looking team. Personally I'd love to see a flash of orange on there (trouser seam stripes perhaps), but a very quality job on the figures.

Hey, that's a really nice idea! If I ever paint this team again I'll do that! It would be great to have a nozzle flash on the shoulderpads in orange as well.

I appreciate your skills, but all that grey ... it's a little dull IMO :-?

Well I don't agree... the (50?) shades of grey work fine. This of course is also a personal opinion (from a colourblind person ;) )
