#BloodBowl - Halfling Team - Kurnoth Hunter Treemen - Pre-season training pics

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer my Kurnoth Hunters to be used as Treemen in my Halfling Blood Bowl Team. This is the Porkbelly Stuffers Treemen before they go off to their stadium - 'Surf n'Turf Moar'. 

This is where they are effectively TO DONE!, I just haven't added the flock and flowers to the base, but I'll never see the brown basing again so it's nice to have a record of them without grass.

All the pink got highlighted, I wasn't going to do the pinstripes on them as there's already a lot going on with the wood grain swirls.

And the crackling shoulder pads came out really well too. Sadly I didn't put numbers on as I couldn't work out how to do that but I'm not that disappointed about that.

Grass and TO DONE! next.

#BloodBowl - Halfling Team - Kurnoth Hunter Treemen - underpainting and fluoro pink

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer my Kurnoth Hunters to be used as Treemen in my Halfling Blood Bowl Team. It seems a bit odd to be covering up all that red with more white but that's how the underpainting works.

I created a wood grain effect, so it looks like when it's pink it's been painted over the grain that's already there.

I suppose it would have been cool to have some areas where you could see the existing grain, similar to the areas that are already silver birch and the pink areas look painted on.

But I wasn't sure I could achieve the effect I was looking for so I just decided all areas would pink and I wouldn't be adding the pinstripes as it was going to be a bit busy already with the wood grain.

You should also have spotted I highlighted the rest of the silver birch areas too and also applied some sepia and green washes in areas to add a little more variety in the colour.

This is pure VMC Magenta Fluorescent and you can see it's worked similar to Contrast. 

It's stained the white areas and the red areas have been tinted a little so you have this subtle differentiation between the wood grains 

This leaves me to add some red shading in all the recess and shadow areas and then add some highlights on all the raised areas and pick out some additional wood grain detail.

I mean it's garish, but it always is at this stage. 

So, just those highlights next to do...

#BloodBowl - Halfling Team - Kurnoth Hunter Treemen - Bases TO DONE!

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer my Kurnoth Hunters to be used as Treemen in my Halfling Blood Bowl Team, here's where we were last time:

And since then I've done the bases, added washes to the Silver Birch areas and yellow to the pork crackling shoulder pads.

 

I also picked out the 'heartwood' areas of the head and the chest cavity.

Some parts will be dark brown and all the red parts will be pink, ironically requiring a set of white highlights next - so it'll all be white.

But coming along nicely.

#BloodBowl - Halfling Team - Star Players - TO DONE!

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on two Blood Bowl Star players for my Halfling team - Cindy Piewhistle and Puggy Baconbreath.

Grass has been added, with some flower tufts. This will match the 7's megabowl pitch I'll be working on.

Can't wait to have the whole pitch and teams completed so I can see everything together.

Back view.

Left side view.

Right side view.

Here they are alongside one of my previous team members, just to compare and thankfully the recipe and execution matches.

And the glorious close-up pictures to reveal all detail [which will make me sad as I'll see the mistakes]. Sandwich looks great though.

Note the S and P on his salt and pepper shakers, no idea how I managed to paint those tiny letters.

Zoomed in Cindy's face is all over the place but it's still better than I expected. I just wish I'd been able to do some eyebrows and lipstick that worked.

Sadly it just didn't. Even that blob of reddish wash on her right cheek was suspect. It helps from the front though, so I left it. But what a pie!

Can hardly see the rat/mouse poking out of the pie, but he's there.

Just make out its beady eyes and nose.

#BloodBowl - Halfling Team - Star Players - Pre-season training pics

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my #Halfling #BloodBowl team. This is the Porkbelly Stuffers Star Players before they go off to their stadium - 'Surf n'Turf Moar'. 

Cindy Piewhistle and Puggy Baconbreath, everything came together in the end. 

I'm still a little disappointed that I couldn't execute the diamond pattern on Puggy's shoulder pads but it looks OK otherwise.

He's got far more 'crackling' than any other player, which befits a star player and he is more armoured anyway so it makes sense. His 'lucky 13' team number just visible on the right shoulder pad.

Really please with his face, even though hardly any of it is visible inside his helmet.

Cindy came out well, her face is great, although as evidenced by my zoomed pics in the last update it does not stand close scrutiny but certain aspects are better than I've ever done.

At least, the distance I usually look at it it looks great and the pies look cool too.

A great addition to my Armies On Parade, now I just need to do the Treemen and the board too and I should almost be ready. Just need to decide on back drops and things. Some TO DONE pics to follow with 'grass on the pitch'.

#BloodBowl - Halfling Team - Star Players - BIG BUILD & Base TO DONE!

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on two Blood Bowl Star players for my Halfling team. I got Cindy Piewhistle and Puggy Baconbreath at #WarhammerFest I have to admit that £26 for two tiny figures was an insane purchase. I could have had a second team to paint instead - converted them in some way to be star players.

But, I would have come away from the day empty handed otherwise and they are pretty amazing sculpts. The casting was almost flawless, just a tiny bit of mold slipping under the armpits.

But it had loads of little internal supports to make sure it cast properly, almost like how 3D prints are done.

Here's the Great Big Big Build RUSTY Stamp of Approval for the build.

And onto the base [as well as some base coats].

Standard borwn base that will be covered in flock.

Orange areas picked out where there will be 'crackling'

Ready for yellow and to paint the 'pink' areas white.
