'Sport' from TeemuL: Star Player Duo

Grak and Crumbleberry, an ogre and a halfling, star player duo on the Blood Bowl arenas.



This set is available only at the Warhammer World, which I have never visited, but luckily a friend of mine brought us some souvenirs (which we paid). So that's how I got this set, it is resin set, and this duo can be hired by any Blood Bowl team.


Big One is number 13, a hint for opponents. The Little One is probably number 1/4...

Now they have finally gotten their blue-with-blue-stripes uniforms of my imperial Dwarf team, Reikland Reavers. Yes, there is a human team with the same name, but the collapse of NAF caused quite a lot confusion and now there are two teams with the same name. Humans had the name first and Dwarfs changing their mind... Really?



So they have this blue-with-blue-stripes now, rather simple in a way, but quite tricky in the end to have enough contrast and differentiate each area. On some miniatures this works better, on some it is harder. In the end there is a group shot of the whole team with this duo, so you can see how they blend in.


You see, stripes? Different shades of blue?

I did say that the uniforms were brand new, freshly knitted and studded, but they stay fresh and crisp only so long. The overall appearance is a bit messy, but hopefully more in a good than bad way. They are not power armors, they are sports wear, so I hope they look more well used than badly painted...

  1. Great stuff Teemu. I can't tell if the Ogre is going to kick the ball upfield or the halfling, either way I'm sure the fans will go wild.

  3. A dynamic duo! Always got a soft spot for 'flings on the pitch.
