Nobody Expects the Finished Inquisition!

 I can finally call these guys done. They fought me every inch of the way, and it shows, but I am happy with some of them, at least. 

Enlightened and Interrogator

The Interrogator is holding a copy of the most recent Kill Team rules. 

Tome Skull and Autosavant 

These are my favorite guys. The Tome Skull text is hand-painted. I painted a bit of subtle OSL for the candle light on the Autosavant. They were fun to paint. 

Servitors 

Plasma and Heavy Bolter shown here. I also have a Melta barrel. The weapons are magnetized and hot-swappable.

Death World Veteran and Penal Legionnaire

The DWV is painted after Sargeant Stone, from the old 54mm Inquisitor game. The penile Penal Legionnaire looked a bit Hive-Worldy, so I did him up like that. 

Pistoleer and Questkeeper

The Pistoleer is the coolest dude. 

Hexorcist and Mystic

I got a set with the Ashes of Faith boxed set, but added another since most of the bodies can be used for two different characters. I did end up with a spare Autosavant and Tome-Skull, but I'm sure I'll find a use for extra robots down the road. 

And now the Navy Breachers

 The dam has burst and I am eager to paint up these cool little team projects. 

Breach

and Clear

I painted them up in the same uniform colors as the Voidsmen in my Rogue Trader retinue (previous), as I imagine they are from the same ship, valiantly blocking the Gellerpox Infected from the shuttle so the retinue can escape. 

I had my first game with them this week - the game is fairly complex, but starts in media res so there is action from the jump. It's got legs for sure! 

The Innsmouth Bloodbowl Club

They're finally here!

The Innsmouth Blood Bowl Club has finally received their new uniforms, and are ready to take the XTBBF Premier League by storm in 2012!

I'm still undecided about how to identify individual players. I can:

1. Find a place to put tiny uniform numbers on them
2. 'Stencil' their numbers on the faces of the logs they're standing on
3. Find room on the bases for their names and numbers
4. Use rounded-edge plinths.
5. Something else I haven't thought about yet!

I'm open to suggestions. Let me know your opinion in the comments below.

First Time In a Long Time: Greebo Wood Elves

When I first saw Greebo's Sylvania Elves on Talk Fantasy Football, I knew I had to have 'em. Not only am I not above a little cheesecake in my Blood Bowl collection (cf Murder City Black Wings), but they immediately struck me as one of the most beautifully-conceived fantasy football teams sculpted to date.

Then I saw Micro Art Studios' Forest bases and knew I had not only my next BB team, but a plan. The only trouble was, I'm in Bosnia, with an expensive and unreliable postal service.

Fortunately my buddy Watts came to the rescue, picked up the bases I ordered locally but never arrived, and delivered them to my pal Amila, who dropped 'em off on a visit here. Compared to that the rest is easy peasy!

Here's the first test figure:

It's kind of a sketch so needs lots of touch-ups still. I figured the honking big tree trunk was enough of a hint that I didn't have to paint the team in cliche green and yellow. And while I love my cheesecake, I didn't want a naked team running around, so all that pulchritudinous flesh became white spandex. Still more than sexy enough. The uniform is inspired by Bosnia's national football team uniforms, so I have a reminder of the local flavor when I'm back to Canada.

The rest of the team is fully assembled and primed, and will be ready to take the field in the new year. I can't wait to try them out!
