#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.


And another GREAT Big RUSTY Stamp of Approval .

#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.

#WarhammerFest Photodump 3

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I went to #WarhamerFest2023 and took over 250 pictures! Unfortunately that means you have to sit through my 'holiday snaps'. My next mixed bag of images, I'm not sure what these all are - a mixed bag. Some additional Golden demon pics, displays from the hall, cosplay and the various video game stands also had miniatures too - clearly the developers wanted to assure fans that they were hobbyists too.



Cosplay costumes.




Moar pics from the Titan Owners club





Moar Golden Demon entries.






This Predator was insanely good.











































Here were some of the table setups for the GT that was going on. Surprising to see a lot of neoprene gaming mats as I don't believe GW actually make any of these...





Some armies on parade at the cosplay stand.



And battles ongoing at the GT.












And I think that's the lot, or the best I can do to share them. Any questions, drop them below.
