If you want a team that really reflect the look of Warhammer’s Dwarfs then, buddy, this your team. These guys could pass for warriors, if you chuck an axe or two onto the miniature. Do they looks like a Blood Bowl team? I dunno.
#Skaven blood bowl team plus
These feel like Warhammer Dwarfs, which will be a big plus for long-time fans.
Their beards take up a lot of real estate on the miniatures and actually remind me of some of the older Warhammer Dwarf miniatures. Ooft, just look at those beards! Whereas Willy Miniatures has quite controlled beards, Black Scorpion takes a different approach. These definitely look good, as one should expect from Willy Miniatures, but they’re also bit boring, a bit bland, y’know? Black Scorpion In addition to these observations on posing, it’s worth noting that the beards are more controlled and less flamboyant than those of the GW team. In a lot of cases, describing a miniature as ‘static’ might be taken as an insult, but these are Dwarfs. There are a few dynamically posed miniatures, like the runners and one of the blitzers, but these miniatures are generally that little bit more static. Will Miniatures have produced a team that is somewhat closer to the older, less mobile miniatures of the past. Games Workshop have been pretty consistent in putting out good plastic teams for this edition which are both expressive of the themes of the team, and very cost-effective. I mean, the pose might not reflect the miniature’s low agility, but it’s still damn cool!Īll in all, a good, solid, characterful team. I like the use of the slayer’s beard scraping along the ground to support the miniature in the jumping pose. This is fine, but it’s a difference.Īs I said, the armour on these Dwarfs does look great, and the studio colour scheme really does it justice. Their armour looks great, and their beards are definitely luxurious, but the miniatures are a lot more dynamic than previous ones.
I feel that the Dwarf team for the 2016 edition of Blood Bowl were something of a departure from the Dwarf miniatures of old. Unlike the Dwarfs, these rats are bloody fast! Dwarfs I love the Skaven in Warhammer, so I was keen to pick up some Blood Bowl Skaven, too. I will also be looking at the Skaven in this article. They’re not fast, but they’re bloody tough and I appreciate this quality. Dwarfs are one of my favourite Blood Bowl teams. I trust that the above link back to my previous post will suffice and I can dispense with the history lesson on this occasion. LC Greenwood and Donnie Shell have both been Hall of Fame finalists several times.Blood Bowl is great, innit? In my previous post on alternative fantasy football miniatures I outlined a little of the history of Blood Bowl before diving into my recommendations. The Steel Curtain of the '70s produced 4 Hall of Fame players (more than any of the vaunted defensive units of the time): Jack Lambert, Jack Ham, Joe Greene, and Mel Blount. In 1976 during a 9 game stretch, the Steel Curtain allowed only 28 points, including 5 shut-outs. These rules included allowing offensive linemen to use their hands to block pass rushers like "Mean" Joe Greene, and restricting defensive backs like Mel Blount from being able to bump receivers more than 5 yards past the line of scrimmage (as DB's had been allowed to do before). Steel Curtain - The 1970s Pittsburgh Steelers defensive team considered to be one of the most dominant defenses in the history of the NFL, primarily because in 1978 the league had to make rule changes for offenses to be able to combat the Steel Curtain. Some nicknames from wikipedia to get your brain flowing.īlitzburgh - Name of the Pittsburgh Steelers defensive unit since the mid-1990s and their tendency to relentlessly attack opposing quarterbacks.
