![]() ![]() By way of comparison here he is next to his gore covered colleague. Unlike the previous lab coat wearing poxwalker I painted I didn’t use lots of blood splatter here, but instead tried to make the coat look stained and befouled by decomposition. His new pal here is converted from the poxwalker in the lab coat. In the end I took him back to the painting desk and worked over him, he’s muckier now but I’m much happier with the end result. Although he was technically pretty much perfect the results were much too “clean” for my liking (by which I mean painted with precision, he still looked like a filthy rotten git). ![]() I actually finished him off about a week ago but I found myself really unhappy with the results. I experimented quite a lot with this one, mixing some of the agrellan earth texture paint in with flesh tones to cover some of the rougher joins. I’m still a little way off clearing my desk sufficiently of other projects, something I’d like to do before tackling a full Blood Bowl team, but working on this sporting corpse has reminded me how much I like the aesthetic of the game so I’ll aim to get to work on my Orcs soon.ĭid I not promise you more poxwalkers just a week ago? Am I not a corpse master of my word? Here’s the latest two shamblers to come lurching off the painting desk. ![]() The reason I’m showing this is that my aim was to keep his appearance fairly close to the original scheme, whilst updating it into something gritty and modern. I think we’d all agree he’s a little rough around the edges but he’s not badly painted either, he certainly beats my early work hands down. I’ve been planning to paint up a Blood Bowl team or two for some time and although I’ll admit that still hasn’t happened this seemed like a fine way to dip a toe into the murky waters of violent fantasy sports.įirst of all here we have him as he looked when I received him, in all his battered, ’90s era glory. This undead Blood Bowl player comes from the same set and I reckoned it was high time he received some attention. It was a bit of a pick and mix of old lead, we had a vampire, an Imperial Guardsman (shouting into his phone) and a boisterous Night Goblin fanatic, as well as a few other models which have passed the intervening years untouched – but never forgotten.
