Team Photos

So I finally got around to taking team photos to the latest aditions to my roster. First up is the Naugrim Ironfists. 




This team has the full complement of 16 players which also includes Grim Ironjaw. The second team is the Scuttleton Rats. I do have 2 3d printed Gutter Runners to add to the team.




Both teams are a good mix of 2nd and 3rd edition figures which are a good match. It's now got me thinking of completeing a Goblin team to run and underworld league in the future.

More Dwarves and Skaven

First up the last of my Dwarves which will complete the team. Firstly is 2 Troll Slayers, adding a bit of frenzy to the team. These are both 3rd edition models.


Next is the 2 blitzers for the team. These are both 3rd edition models. 1 is actually a lineman, but fits this team better as a blitzer.


The last 2 figures for the team will be a pair of 2nd edition blitzers that I'll use as linemen.


I'll need to get the figures together for a team photo. I also added another 3 Skaven too my 2nd team. A blitzer, Gutter Runner and lineman.


Just 2 more Gutter Runners to complete this team

Additional figures

As the league has progressed, I made the decision to paint up all of my teams that sat unloved in the lead pile. The first of these is my Dwarf team. I originally had a few 2nd edition players bulked out with converted troll slayers and linemen. I decided to rectify this by picking up a few more 2nd and 3rd edition players to complete the team properly. I also decided to change the original team colours of pink and grey to blue and pink. So here is the progress so far

Dwarf Runners

Grim Ironjaw - Star player

Dwarf Linemen

Naugrim Ironfists

So 10 players completed. Thankfully 1 of the club members donated a few figures, so I have 2 troll slayers and 2 more 2nd edition lineman on the painting table. I have also identified 2 figures to use as blitzers. They are both 3rd edition figures, 1 is an actual blitzer, the other is a lineman, but as he looks sufficiently different to the rest of the team he will proxy as a blitzer.

The other team I am working on is a second Skaven team. These are also a mix of 2nd and 3rd edition figures. The 2 ranges mix well together. My 2nd edition Rat Ogre and the surplus blitzer has also had a change of team colours.

Linerats and Throwers

Scuttleton Rats

To complete the team I have a 2nd blitzer, another Linerat and a Gutter Runner. Mitch has also printed me 2 resin Gutter Runners as the metal version goes for silly prices on auction sites.

The last additions are 2 more blitzers for my Orc team - Da bad Moon blitz. Both have had slight conversions. The one on the right had the plume removed. The one on the left had a head swap from a Black Orc player. It is probably slightly too large, but he stands out as the team captain.



In a league update the Miami Rotters got back to winning ways, defeating the LV Raiders 1-0 in a brutal affair. This consolidates them in second place in the table.
