![]() I really want to lavish some attention on these and will post updated pics to this post when I finish them.Īfter the league is over I may even post a little report of how they fared. Not decided yet whether to give the Beastmen dark skin and white warpaint, or light skin and dark blue tattoos. They are wholly dedicated to Tzeentch and I’ll be painting them in a bright blue scheme with white details. The team is named the Silver Tower Sentinels and is based off a team I’ve run a few times in the PC version of Blood Bowl. Obsessive I know, but I couldn’t help myself.Īll the models can be seen in 360 degrees in the video. ![]() In the end though I took one of those heads and did some dental work, transplanting the upper row of teeth from another head to replace this one’s lower jaw. I had at first tried the Flesh Hound head from the Age of Sigmar starter box, which worked surprisingly well, as even though I had some Minotaur heads I don’t like the large tusks jutting from the lower jaw. The shoulder pads are left over from a Centurion conversion and fit him perfectly. The tail (tentacle) and loin cloths are both from Stormfiends, as it the belt. Some key points worth mentioning the Khorgorath’s legs needed a lot cutting out of them to have them fit on a 40mm base. After a lot of pondering and dry fitting I figured I’d try the Khorgorath’s legs with a Skaven Stormfiend torso and Minotaur arms/head.Īs you can see it took a lot of green stuff to put him together right. ![]() I knew I’d have to field one and at first had no clue where to start (as I very much dislike the plastic Minotaurs). He also has an extra arm for some running double punch action.įinally, there’s the centre-piece of the team, the Minotaur. The pose and the fact he’s wearing goggles reminds me of X-Men’s Quicksilver. My absolute favourite amongst the lot of them is number 10 (Scrufti’gor), the only one in a running pose. Likewise, I gave claws to a couple of the Chaos Warriors, because they look bad-ass and frankly made modelling the arms easier. I knew I’d pick up at least a couple of extra arms and an extra head at some point so I gave them to two of the models. Originally I had thought about making a whole range of models that I could swap out with different mutations that are available to Chaos Teams, or even magnetizing the options, but ultimately I felt it didn’t actually matter that much. The Beastmen use the Gor and a few Bestigor parts, with some bits from the Khorne Bloodreavers. Most of the bits of armour and the shoulder pads come from the Undead range, specifically skeletons. Rather a lot of time went into making each model individual. I did a LOT of dry fitting with all these conversions. ![]() There’s also a host of bits from other ranges that work well here. I also like that these guys stand nice and tall and imposing on the pitch. The plain Retributor shoulder pads are perfect for Blood Bowl players. The Chaos Warriors were built mostly from Retributor Sigmarites and Chaos Warrior bits. I’m not a huge fan of the Sigmarites or Khorne forces (the models are great but just not to my tastes) but I figured the box was worth it even if I just used everything for conversions. The majority of parts for the team come from the plastic Beastmen range and the Age of Sigmar starter box set. As with a lot of my bigger projects a lot of this is still in progress, I still plan to finish and post my Age of Sigmar stuff in future, but for now I had some raw material to build this team. When Age of Sigmar was released a year ago I jumped straight in and began to work on a new Beastman/Chaos Warriors of Tzeentch army. When my local store announced they’d be running a league using current Competition Rule Set I excited signed up, figuring I could bash a team together from what I already had in my fantasy collection. I was very excited to hear of Blood Bowl’s planned re-release (all the specialist games in fact), it being amongst my favourite games of all time.
