Blood Bowl Match Report: Norse vs. Chaos Dwarfs

Setup for the first Kick-off. The heat is on: making passing game a bit harder. Norse defense starts low - and Chaos Dwarfs in their trademark "The Bloody Wedge" attack formation. Bulls lead the way and others try to keep up. The House rule has been for awhile: free 50k cards drawn at random for both periods. Dwarfs got "Johnny Waterboy" that boost the KO'd return rate to 3+. The new dugout - seen on the right - holds the card nicely too. Both teams are around 1.600.000 in team value, and seen few advances thru the roster. Fans amass behind the Dwarfs: 16k loyal supporters gains the +1 Fame for the Red Anvils. The Wedge cracks under huge Norse opposition: Dwarfs loose the ball for Werewolfs blitz. Silvery beast carries the pink glitter ball for awhile. Bulls, hobgoblins and dwarfs seen on the ground. Soon after this the Norse runner makes the first touchdown. First period ends with Norse lead 1-0. Second period starts with Norse attack: but it is stopped in midfield after some blocks. Hobgoblin is cheering from the dungeons - fouling has its cost. And then the blood letting starts: Minotaur kills the Norse Werewolf with AV boost of 9 -> huge blow to team Norske Pojkar. And adding insult to injury: Dwarfs get illegal substitute of extra hobgoblin (number 11 on the pic) making the head count to 12 players against ten Norse players. Uneven odds start to show and Bullcentaur moves forward with relative ease. Settling for a 1-1 tie: the dwarfs hold the ball next to the Norse endzone for extra turn making the Norse team desperate. After the 15th turn kick-off Yeti revenges the Werewolf by killing newbie hobgoblin on the line of scrimmage. All in all very bloody match: 2 kills and one broken neck of Dwarf blocker - the sum would have been even worse without apothecary actions that saved the life of Norse lineman. After the game touchdown scoring Bullcentaur is awarded the MVP and levels up: new skill being the Grab.

Chaos Dwarf Bull Centaur 2 - Milliput and Green stuff







Continued with green stuff, built in three separate stages, allowing the previous layer to dry and harden before moving forward.





Started the sculpting with Milliput Superfine White, it gives hard base to drill parts on, but bit of struggle to make it stick to the plain wire.

Chaos Dwarf Bull Centaur 2 - Basic shape



Pin as the big hat and some insulation foam for the bulk of the torso.



Some wire to help support the chaos dwarf bit.





This is the nice part of working with soft plastics - very easy to drill even on thin parts like the legs.



The head is saved for later - the team is still missing its minotaur... But that is another story.



The red eyes still flaming on...

Chaos Dwarf Bull Centaur 2 - Start



Okay, it looks kinda warped right now, but the legs fit on the base and its a only a starting point for the build.





Barbecue it is then! The intoxicating fumes of melting plastic reminded me of childhood sessions of taking the magnifying glass and some toy soldiers to the bright spring sun... Some good memories of Matchbox commandos with extra arms and two heads.





Some prime ribs for the banquet in Hashuts glory.



Team needs another Bull Centaur - so this plastic bull was found just in time. The problem being that the figure is little big to fit on the small slotta base. As a fan of the good old astrogranite field I want all of my players to fit the little squares nicely. Something got to give in order to get the legs closer to each other.

Chaos Dwarf Bull Centaur - Painting



Reddish brown added to the lower body and some more washes on armor and helmet.

Chaos Dwarf Bull Centaur - Painting start



Most of the basic shades with some inkwashes, lower body and top of the hat still only undercoated.



Some Vallejo white primer for the start.



Some green stuff details added; gauntlets ornament, scale mail sleeves and left front leg greave. Cut edges of the spikes and filed off some stuff.

Chaos Dwarf Bull Centaur - Green stuff layers



More bulk to the body and beard dreadlocks in place. And made scale armour around the torso, and spiked greave to the right front leg.



First layer of green stuff, and then some filing off the excess stuff.

Chaos Dwarf Bull Centaur - Big hat and hands



Sawed off some hands from Second edition BB plastic humans laying around. Then filed off the elbow pads and tried to make the fingers little more defined with blade.



Some wire and glue and the big hat is almost ready to go.



Magnet pin of the refrigerator door and then sawing of the other end.

Chaos Dwarf Bull Centaur - Forming the torso



Basic pose done. Next parts: the hands - and yes, the big hat.



Pinning the front leg with wire.





Okay, the second cut is gonna be pretty deep too...

Chaos Dwarf Bull Centaur - Basic form





Bending the legs for the same level on the base, and cutting some insulation foam for front of the body.



Horse! My kingdom for even half of the horse.



First cut is the deepest.
