From TeemuL - Blood Bowl Ogre (7 Points)

I don't think I have seen any Blood Bowl figures in the challenge yet. Well, this is not an official Blood Bowl figure either, but it will count as Ogre in my human team. Originally he is a Grenadier War Troll from 1988 without weapons. You can take a look at his friends here: Link to eBay

It took me while find out who he is, he was part of huge pile of lead and plastic I bought over a year ago (most of the classic orcs and goblins are from that same pile, too) and has only "Grenadier 1987" on his base. I was looking for a proper stand-in for ogre for my team and happened to find him there. Looks ogre enough for me. Looks Blood Bowl enough for me. I like looks of his eyes.

My team colors are white and blue, just like the colors of Reikland Reavers in the 3rd edition starter, which I copied to my own team. Hence he is wearing a blue loincloth and whitish rags around his arms. He also liked the yellow plumes of the blitzers and decided to dye his hair in the same style.

I was thinking about to sculpt him a little badge, to write his number, but then I decided not to mess around with this old and beautiful figure. Human teams allow only one ogre, so it should not be impossible to separate him from this team mates. I just put him on a base (30mm washer) to give him a proper base and better balance.

At the moment he is not actually part of the team yet, because there's not enough gold coins in the treasure. But as soon as the next season starts and I get the first income from the gate, he will join the team. That's why his team mates have not named him yet, he is only known as the number six. Is he a man or free, that's another story.

Here he is posing with future team members. Blends in quite nicely, I'd say. Shows also little of his size.

I think that there were no 28mm miniatures in the 1987, so he is most likely a 25mm guy. There's no monster category in the rules either so I leave it to Curt... 5 points at least?

From Curt:

Okay, I'm going to age myself here, but does anyone else out there think that this guy looks like Sweetums from The Muppets? Or is it Mickey Rourke from 'The Wrestler'...? Then again his facial expression also reminds me of Stalone yelling out, 'Adrian!' in 'Rocky'.

Whatever the cultural reference, he's a wonderful figure, Teemu, a real classic from the 80s. You did a great job on his flesh tone and I really like how you painted his dirty boxing wraps. Nice work!
