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.

Gryphon Bloodsox vs Clar Karond Corsairs

The Bloodsox were looking to build on their upturn in fortunes after back to back draws. The Corsairs were still realing from hanging on for a draw in their last game.

The game began with the Corsairs receiving and they immediately got their running game going, smashing through the line of scrummage and on their way to the first score. It was now that Capt. Chaos lived up to his name, from the kick-off he tried to hand off to a Bloodsox blitzer and promptly dropped the ball. The Corsairs quickly pounced and once more raced away gor the score.

So 2-0 down and recieving, once more Capt Chaos promptly dropped the ball on a hand off. Disaster once again as the Corsairs snatched the ball and went in for their 3rd score.

The second half began much better for the Bloodsox as they began to move the ball downfield. Just when a score was beckoning the Witch Elf Nierloth knock the ball carrier over. After a bit of a scramble the Corsairs recovered the ball and began to surge back upfield. Eventually the ball was passed to their star blitzer Corvus the Blade who sliced through the defence for his 3rd score if the match and 7th of the season.

Eventually though things went right for the Bloodsox late in the game as they managed to manoeuvre their way down field to pick up a consolation score. Game finishing 4-1.

In a league round up, the Midshire Giants tackled the Cleaveland Bronze. Despite taking an early lead, they eventually succombed 2-1.

New Troll

As I was not totally happy with the Troll on my Chaos Renegade team (He will be moved to the Goblin team). I picked up a 3D print Chaos Troll. This model is quite a beast and much more impressive.

In the pipeline I have 2 more Blitzers for my Orc team. I'm also putting together a Dwarf and a second Skaven team using mainly 2nd and 3rd edition figures.

Score updates

 A couple of games at the club were brought to a conclusion.

LV Raiders bt Midshire Giants 2-0

The Raiders picked up their second win of the season which sees them move up to 3rd place in the league. The Giants meanwhile are still looking for their first win

Tir na nOg Ravens drew Orkland Raidurz 1-1

With both sides coming off a defeat and looking to get their seasons back on track. Though the draw was a fair result in a bruising game, the wet weather putting paid to any fancy throwing. The draw though saw bothsides consolidate in mid table.

The Season 1 page has the updated league table

League Update

3 games got under way at the club on Thursday. Sadly only 1 game was played to completion. The other 2 should get finished next week.

Clar Karond Corsairs drew Cleaveland Bronze 2-2

The first game saw the top of the table Clar Karond Corsairs take on the winless Cleaveland Bronze. The Corsairs were looking to pull further away at the top of the table. It was not to be. It has to be said the dice favoured the Chosen of Khorne. Lots of skulls were rolled by the Corsairs. Despite this their star Blitzer managed to bag himself another 2 TDs. However the Bronze led by Lord Borak, preceeded to remove Corsair players at will. They started the 2nd half with just 7 players. Eventually with the extra numbers the Bronze managed to score their 2nd TD on the last turn, picking up their first point of the season.

Game 2 between the Tir na nOg Ravens and the Orkland Raidurz is currently 0-0 going into the 2nd half. The wet conditions hinder both sides trying to get a hold of the ball.

Game 3 sees the LV Raiders currently leading the Midshire Giants 1-0. Hoping  a second win on the bounce to help them move up the table.
