From StuartL - Fresh Meat for Blood Bowl - 45 Points

Hello again. In this post, I make my way to the Orcs' Pit, a particularly seedy part of the Chambers of Challenge, but one which has a very clear theme. During the 2019 challenge, one of the bonus rounds was themed around sports. At that time, I painted up a team of orcs for Blood Bowl, but I only painted 13 minis. A full size roster for Blood Bowl should (I think), include 16 players. Just before the challenge began, a friend gave me some orcish Blood Bowl players for free. While I only needed to paint up 3 of them, I added 5 to my painting queue for the Orcs' Pit. Firstly because it gives me a Squirrel Point and secondly because I seem to have misplaced one of the original team, thus highlighting the need for some reserves.

I have no idea which manufacturer they come from. The models are all plastic and all in the same pose. I don't think that they are GW, but I can't be sure. The friend who gave them to me didn't know either having got them from another friend who has since left the country.

As far as minis go, I actually felt like these were quite a slog, despite having a colour scheme ready from the previous parts of the team. There wasn't a lot of detail on the minis and they are all quite static compared to the newer teams from GW and other makers that are available these days.

And here they are (hiding at the back) with the rest of the team, classic GW plastic orcs and a Reaper Troll.

5x 28mm minis and the Chamber bonus gets me 45 points for my tally. Sadly these are not GW minis, so don't count towards that side duel. Nor do they have any skullz. They do represent 1 Squirrel though, so they aren't a total loss.

My running duels totals:

GW Points - 287

Skullz - 100

Squirrels - 5
