'Sport' from EvanH: The Durinhold Tectonics

Wow. Deadlines, huh? 

They just creep up on you. Well, not only was I crept up on, I was mugged.

What was to have been a full 12-player Blood Bowl team has been pared back to take part in the less prestigious Seven-A-Side Competition. Still, it fits the theme, and Gary Morley's sculpts from way back in 1994 are excellent, with their terrific detail and characterful attitudes. 

This is a bit of a mixed blessing, as there's so much you can miss when painting them - the rest of the team is close to completion, but will have to wait a week or so.

I went for a simple red and yellow colour scheme, not for any particular reason other than it's bright and stands out on the tabletop.

Here are the two Blockers;

The two Runners;

Two Slayers (these guys play for keeps);

And I'll be honest, the tattoos aren't easy when you've only had 5 hours sleep!

And here's the Blitzer (I honestly have no idea what a Blitzer does in the game. Blitz, presumably).

So while it's not as significant a submission as I would have hoped, at least I've got some more Dwarves into the mix, and that's the most important thing, isn't it? Painting Dwarves has become something of a Challenge tradition for me, as has tormenting Goblins (and maybe we'll see some of those little green devils further down the track...)

That's all for this round - stay tuned!
