Good to be back.
I'd kinda lost my mojo and enthusiasm over the summer and was looking for some inspiration. I'd last played Bloodbowl in the 1980s and wasn't that impressed but the new season 3 was out last month and I thought I'd give it a go. Its absolutely brilliant, me and a couple of friends have played a couple of times a week for the last month. It's tactically challenging and very funny.
One of the best parts is looking up non GM teams on Etsy and being amazed by the imagination of the designers. Look them up even if you are not buying, they will have you giggling.
So with that in mind I present to you Los Lunchadores, the Mexican wrestling halfling bloodbowl team
The team
La Chicas. Female halfling hopefuls
The guys, halfling hopefuls
Cactus ents, without them halflings are terrible at bloodbowl. With them they are just rubbish. Also painting spines is annoying
The catchers, holding their tacos
Halfling hefties, like tacklers but less so
The venerable coach
These guys will get their 1st game this afternoon.
Scores on the doors
18 x 28mm foot = 90 points
Have a very merry Christmas one and all

First, welcome back to the Challenge, Martin, it's great to have you with us again.
This Bloodbowl team is both hilarious and absolutely fabulous. So much to love here: female halfling wrestlers, catchers with tacos, cacti heavies... wonderful stuff. And all excellently painted and ready for the scrum. You'll have to let us know in the comments how they did for their first game!
With these as a terrific start, I hope the coming months shows us that your painting mo-jo has been restored.
Merry Christmas to you!
- Curt
Haha … you are loco !
ReplyDeleteAnd you point is
DeleteDon’t know what to say about this except it’s very MartinC. It’s loco and I love it
ReplyDeleteCheers, there are more mad teams to follow
DeleteThey seem to be crazy minis and your paintjob looks good on them! Good to have you and your painting.mojo back!
ReplyDeleteThanks, good to be back
DeleteHahahaha. Those are brilliant. Very nice paint jobs. Now I want tacos.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I do like them
DeleteWhether they win or lose, you know you'll have the most unique team on the pitch. Excellent work on these waist-high wrestlers.
ReplyDeleteThey won! Thanks
DeleteThose are really cool and great paint job
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteCheers Curt, good to be back. The good news is that they won their first game against Andy's tomb kings 3-1, including 2 touchdowns where a cactus Ent threw a halfling with the ball over the opposition and he ran in to score. Truly wondrous
ReplyDeleteBravo! A tremendous result, especially for freshly painted figures. Best wishes on your next game!
DeleteQuite mad. A friend has an original hobbit team and I’ll let him you know you scored a victory with them. Fun stuff Martin.
ReplyDeleteThey are quite mad. Actually quite good, hard to knock down, but very fragile if you do knock them down, 2 got killed in the game!
Deletethey are perfect, Martin! i agree wholeheartedly that the off brand bloodbowl teams are some of the best teams! I really like the lucador hobbits and the taco footballs they look great fun!
ReplyDeleteI have never played Bloodbowl to win, but have fun! ;)
They could be the reason i bought the game. It is a game to play for fun, but winning is nice
DeleteBrilliant! I might have to pick up a set of these for myself.
ReplyDeleteCheers, they are a nice set and you get 17 figs plus the markers
DeleteVery colorful
ReplyDeleteCheers
DeleteA crackin start Martin!
ReplyDeleteTa
DeleteMerry Christmas Martin and that are some lovely painted figures! Ole!
ReplyDeleteAnd to you, cheers
DeleteMental but very, very good!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Do love the mental thing. Cheers
DeleteNow that is a Bloodbowl team I would like to play! Great work. I need to wonder over to etsy later....
ReplyDeleteCheers,they played well, hard to knock over and fly well. Have fun on Etsy
DeleteGood looking team. You're off to a points-bombing start!
ReplyDeleteCheers, I was very keen to play them and only had a day to paint
DeleteThat's uno poco loco amigo! I half expect them to be sponsored by the Los Hermanos Pollos ;-)
ReplyDeleteCheers, WW is their coach
DeleteBB is such a fun game, and this team is perfect for it!
ReplyDeleteWe are having a blast with it
