This month I had the most brutal schedule I’ve had in some time with work, so it really was a struggle bus of epic proportions. Fortunately though, this is my favourite team and I adore the sculpts.
This metal team is one of a couple of exclusives to the
re-release of 3rd Ed. BloodBowl in 97/98. Also on the rarer side due
to the game being packaged with a plastic human team and humans being on the
average side in power lvl. So I was pretty chuffed to get a complete set for a
reasonable price last year.
Lore-wise I’ve always preferred the Marauders to the
Reikland Reavers. However, I’ve never liked the earlier version colours scheme
of red and white, and being a man who likes to paint his miniatures to the “sunglasses
advised” level of vibrancy the later Marauders scheme of dark navy and yellow is
a bit too drab for my tastes as things were starting to edge towards the
grimdark at GW. So to that end I decided to blur the lines and make a scheme
that is a halfway house between the two. That way I can call them either one from
one day to the next, perhaps an away kit of sorts for either.
Overall, I’m very happy with how they came out. And looking forwards to squeezing in a few games with them, hopefully in the near future.
So that’s it for another year. Time to get them all out for
a spicy pose and wrap it all up.
Peace out
Samuel
