Backbone of the Blood Bowl Team-Linesrats

Every Blood Bowl team needs basic line players. Skaven teams are no different.

Here are six of the best Linesrats in Blood Bowl.

These are plastic pieces I painted earlier this month.
 

Dr. Miguelito Quiote Loveless III Seeks REVENGE!

For the honor of his family, Doctor Miguelito Quiote Loveless III has spent his life developing elaborate (some would say mad) plans, infernal devices, weapons and general mayhem to crush those who have wronged his family.
 

He is especially angry with the decedents of Secret Service Agent James West and the government he represented. The tales his father and grandfather told young Miguelito of West's vendetta against the Loveless family have engrave unending hatred on his heart.

The fact that none of his work has fully succeeded to this date has neither dampened his spirit nor his thirst for revenge. He knows that tomorrow or the next day or the next ,,,will bring him victory.

This is an old 1970's Archive Miniatures metal casting that I dug out of one of my garage boxes and painted up this week.

Indispensable Peasant Workers-the Women

From raising and feeding the family to assisting with every possible job on the farm, peasant women did it all.
 

All for no pay.

Without their work society would have quickly collapsed

These are metal pieces I painted back in the 1970's.

Go Long-I'll Toss You the Ball-And Watch Out for the Spikes!

Having a prehensile tail is a real advantage in Blood Bowl, as you have two free paws to strike any opponents who get too close. Catching a Blood Bowl Ball is always a challenge even for Skaven, as the "Balls they are solid, full of spikes and always thrown with a vengeance.

I painted these plastic Skaven for Richard's Blood Bowl team earlier this month.

Philippine's, Late December 1941

The Japanese have invaded and are pushing hard towards Manila. It's desperation time for a mixed group of US Army and Philippine Scouts have to hold this village as long as possible to allow the rest of the command to regroup to hold the next line.

And here come the Japanese invaders, battle hardened and full of self-confidence. While they have fewer troops in the Philippine's, their command control, air and sea superiority have given them the edge and kept the American forces off balanced.

These pictures are set up shots from a Bolt Action game that will be reported on in a future post.
 

Catching these "Balls" is Almost as Dangerous as Carrying Them

Blood Bowl "Balls" are anything but normal sporting balls. the Iron Spiked Rock on the left and the Flaming Iron Spiked one on the left are standard fare for Blood Bowl Games

Catching either of them is a dangerous undertaking, not for the soft or fainthearted.

Once you have one the real danger starts as every opponent will be bent on crushing, smashing, pulverizing and generally dismembering any enemy holding the "Game Ball."

These are plastic pieces I painted last weekend.
 

He's Old but Still a Killer

The aged pack leader KkSss relies on his strength and experience to provide prey for his clan of Velociraptors.
 

While not as fast as his younger pack members, none will challenge him for leadership while he still finds the best prey to kill and eat. KkSss knows that just as his colors have faded with time, one day he will be challenged and taken down, but not yet...

KkSss is a plastic piece I painted last night.
