Blood Bowl : Human Team

New Blood Bowl season is coming! It’s time to select and paint a new team. Human seems to be a good team for an eternal rooky coach like me. They‘re pretty cheap, generously versatile and can easily adapt their style against bash or fast teams. Another reason to choose Humans is the excellent miniature range from the Blood Bowl 2^nd Edition sculpted by Mark Copplestone. Kickers and Blockers are useless in 6^th edition but some coach use kicker as Linemen and blocker as Blitzer (personally, I find them too bulky).

Color scheme: Yep! The Bright Crusaders colors. Do you remember? This emblematic colors scheme was largely illustrated in the 2nd edition. I remember the crusader Linemen on the Blood bowl packs… So good memories.

In fact, it’s an uncommon color scheme, Blue & White strips probably afraid lot of painters but I can’t resist to paint them, it look like Landsknecht Blood Bowl team. Another difficulty in this scheme is the amount of Yellow color. You certainly understand (…) the undescriptive pleasure of painting yellow layers on black undercoat (ironic of course).

Converted things:  First, I deleted every spikes on the shoulders (I hate to paint them). Secondly, I sculpted cross/skull on every players. Thirdly, I added some bar/grill on the helmets to personalize the players. Fourthly, I converted a kicker in Chain saw Star player.  And to finish, I built Reroll and Stunned/Prone markers.
