Blood Bowl : Skaven Team

Hi BloodBowl fans! Today, I show you my brand new Skaven BloodBowl team, the Fearsome Ratskins. Between two projects, to break the routine…  I try to keep in my leadpile a Bloodbowl teams to paint. Sixteen miniatures, three weeks to paint them!

I used classic warm colors scheme based on the popular Washington Redskins uniform of the 70’s (yellow helmet and red jersey). With different neutral brown colors for fur and leather. To make some contrast, I applied a cold grey/blue NMM for the steel part of the armor. Concerning the decals, I used the human transfer sheet from the last Bloodbowl game box (really good material)

These miniatures are sculpted for the Bloodbowl 2^nd ed and the Rat Ogre is missing on the Skaven roster in the late 80’s… So, lots of coaches use the WHB3rd Rat Ogre to fill this lack and (of course) while keeping the early Chaos Ratmen style. This Rat Ogre is pretty naked and it’s a great challenge to create/convert his own sport version. I admit… four armed players are very fashion in the Skaven teams and It’s probably redundant with the starplayer Rasta Tailspike but it’s so fun to made.

In the same way, I convert the Skaven BB 1st ed and transform it in another Starplayer of the current edition. This early edition is too much spicky for me, I opted to the flat disks of steel on the shoulders (like the Rat Ogre) and I swapped his hand by a claw.

You know this angry man? If you enjoy the Chaos Ratmen, you must Know Andy Chambers! He’s one of the most prolific contributor of the early Skaven race in WHFB  3^rd and 4^th ed.  Here I share a team painted by him and published in a GW magazine (Citadel Journal may be…). I never saw it on the web…
