The first one up is for a fried that I've worked with for over half my life, across multiple companies. He has taken his first steps into Blood Bowl with the re-release, so what better present than some of the new Forge World refs? We have Dribbler, the halfling and Sneaky McSneakypants the Gobbo (my names). Both are really characterful models that are great fun to paint. There is plenty of detail, even if they are overly large in places (just look at Dribbler's hands!!)
Dribbler seems to be taking some time out to have a Subway mid game... which is cruel as I now really really want one for lunch. Ah well, pork pie and homemade shortbread will have to do while painting resumes.
So why is Sneaky McSneakypants called that? Just look at that bag (and back pocket) full of bribes! I'm not sure he has space for any more...

Lovely work Paul. I had no idea that Forge World was doing Blood Bowl figures - these are wonderful. Your work on Dribbler's sub sandwich is so good that I'm getting hungry myself and I like McSneakypants' nose (and notice his hat has a longer bill to help shade it). I'm sure your friend will be delighted with these gifts.
Well done!
Sneaky McSneakypants ... isn't the really Ray Roussell?
ReplyDeleteGood stuff
That bag... it's not full of sand, is it...?
DeleteThese are great, making me want to get back into Blood Bowl

I'm struggling to keep out of Blood Bowl. There is talk of starting an office league, which is making things much harder!
DeleteThanks Curt! Forge World will be doing all of the non-plastic kits for Blood Bowl, such as star players, larger creatures, rarer teams and conversion kits to customise the plastic teams
ReplyDeleteGreat entry Paul! Just got my two Referees today! They are now being washed of any residue from casting and hopefully getting painted over the holidays
ReplyDeleteGreat work on these two figs Paul.
ReplyDeleteTwo extremely characterful figs, excellently painted. Well done, Paul!
ReplyDeleteGreat entry Paul bloodbowl is featuring a lot already in this year's challenge
ReplyDeleteGreat job with excellent character
ReplyDeleteLove the fatling. but I for one would have trouble trusting a referee called Sneaky Mc Sneakypants.
ReplyDeleteAt least you know where you stand with him. Preferably a looooooong way away, with your back and wallet to the wall
DeleteI think we'll be seeing a fair bit of BB. If this is any guide it's going to be hard to pick the best!
ReplyDeleteVery characterful miniatures you've done up there! I too cannot wait to see more of this colourful stuff.
ReplyDeleteNicely done! Such fun figures.
ReplyDeleteI do like he skin tones, different though they are - really nice!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't trust either of these chaps father than I could throw them. Lots of character, well done.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Paul - I didn't know these figs were about!
ReplyDeleteVery characterful figures, Paul! The white turned out really well too!
