The dream that is block, tackle, thick skull and a healthy offering of mutations, is one that cannot last forever and over the last few months, whilst completing my Chaos Dwarves, I have been building up some new teams, in readiness for me taking my first steps away from my big-hatted security blanket.
I think I already mentioned that I am still running on rookie when it comes to painting experience and this is most evident when it comes to speed. God I paint slow.... I also struggle with the "ooo shiny" syndrome, that means I spend way to much time looking at other pretty teams rather than getting my head down and doing some serious painting.
This has however got a little better. I think allot has to do with the deadlines of tournaments and new league seasons. My Dwarves have just embarked on their second season in the local League (CakeBowl) and with this ending near Christmas, it fits well with my "Play just 1 team for the 1st year" plan, It will have fitted even better if I round it all off by winning the league... But, lets not get ahead of ourselves.
With a few months ahead to get a team ready, I started to make up some tester models for my new teams, as inspiration. This early start should ensure I begin my 2013 Blood Bowl adventure off with fully painted models and have some team choices when it comes to the tournament calendar for that year.
My GW zombie and his new friend from Impact Minis (sculpted by Phil Bowen) are the first two to be completed. these will be players for Undead and Norse teams.
I am also putting together a Chaos Pact team but this was slowed down a little, after receiving twelve marauders on sprues but no left arms..... Perhaps they were all very optimistic about the blessing of a mutation.
As more things get put together and painted I will add them up. Doing so may also help me keep a good pace.
Lastly, if any skilled painters out there can offer up some constructive advice based on what they have seen that would be awesome.
