| Ok after making a great theme for my Son [Robots] and Daughter [Cute fuzzy Animals] for their resepctive Blood Bowl teams.
I am now struck with creative block for my own team. Originally I was thinking Skaven but now I am leaning towards Necromancer team.
with Werewolves, Flesh golems, Wights, Ghouls and ZOMBIES!!!! its a win win team...
but what theme?
I was thinking WWII Germans but I can't seem to find a good mini for the Wight, Ghoul, and Flesh Golems. I can find WWII German Zombies and Werewolves. but then again if I go that way then I may offend some players/peoples/public/non-zombies etc....
as an alternative I was thinking of a Circus, with the Zombies as clowns, Flesh Golem as Strong men, Ghouls as a hunch back kind of guy, Werewolf as wolfboys.... sorry no room for the bearded lady. [as we all know clowns are creepy] but have no idea on minis are out there. been trying to find some with out much luck...
third option is either a mental institute or Prison setting. again not sure on minis..... both offer some great conversions, paint schemes,
Team owner head shrink/prison warden, cheerleaders nurses/visiting prostitutes, etc etc.
Anyone got any great ideas for a theme and can show me some minis or a range I could then get to flesh this team out?
i'll need the following:
2x Werewolves
2x Flesh Golems
2x Ghouls
2x Wights
8x Zombies. [more as I can gain more Zombies during each game]
so that's your challenge anyone manZombie enough to try.....
LGW

| LGW stop it! You are making my brain want to start Blood Bowl again (I can't - not yet anyway) - these models are superb and the team will look great, whichever you use. Grindhouse games has some blitzhund (werewolf) and zombie minis that might work. Heresy miniatures do some cool deathball minis that might suit you. That flesh golem is genius by the way! Laney  |

| Dude... I'm READY to make ME a BB Team!!! This is GREAT! You can use the model in the middle fine.  Just cut the super-power fist thingy and put a normal robot hand. GOLEMS ARE AWESOME!!! http://willy-miniatures.blogspot.com/  _________________ . The Mordheimer - Death Squads' Chief Editor & Ninja Designer. Bursting with ARACHAS' Dev-Powah™!

| trying to cut costs down for my theme. With that in mind I have been trying to get the minis all from the same supplier rather then from different sources and getting gouged on p&p. The only issues I got now is to find a werewolf mini. 90% of the team is made up of Cryx from Warmachine. So instead of the BB Flesh Golem [which is freaking awesome] this is his replacement:  Ghouls to be these guys:  and for my Necromancer:  _________________ |

| Those mini's are complete and utterly awsome. I know the flesh golem from the other store were cool, but I think it will add to the team / theme to be from the same store; getting the same "feel" all around. |

Yup!!!!
I will save in the p&p, plus just worked it out that by changing the BB fleshie to the Cryx version saves me $8NZD just on the mini. so a double win. [NB: I get a decent discount off the warmachine product from my supplier.... makes it worth while I wouldn't do this if I was paying full RRP.]

| Necromancer Blood Bowl Team: V3.7 I think this is every position filled even with a special character Hack Enslash. Which will me made from the Mechanithralls Unit Leader. [Which is easy as just adding in a chainsaw part to one of his Gloves. eg chainfist] Head Coach/Necromancer: Flesh Golems: WereWolves: TBA????? Wight: Ghouls:  Zombies: [NB: the one in the middle with the collar will be converted into Hack Enslash Star Player.]  Cheer Leaders & Turn Marker:  Re-Rolls, & Assistant Coach:  _________________ |

| Those Cryx models are indeed freakin' awesome! Drooled on them some time ago while looking for inspiration. They will be of great use for your team! |
