I rode out to the Warhammer Store this afternoon and then to Dragon's Den games to pick up a few things....
Necrotect, Nasty Goblin Skulkers and Poxwalkers
the Necrotect and Nasty Goblin Skulkers I'd ordered online and picked up at the Warhammer Store...
The Necrotect I picked up to use as an assistant coach for my Tomb Kings Blood Bowl team - which I am hoping to have done to use for a tournament in October...
The Nasty Goblin Skulkers are just fun-looking little goblins that I'd been thinking about picking up for a while.. but the immediate impetus was I got thinking one of the trio looked a lot like THE BLACK GOBBO - a goblins star player for Blood Bowl - and I plan to use him as such (with maybe a bit of converting...?)
The Poxwalkers...? Well... the plan is to put together a Nurgle team for the next season of the local league. All the Nurgle team players have a special rule called "Plague Ridden" which allows, once per game, if an opposing player is KILLED by a block action and not revived by an apothecary, the Nurgle team can add one new lineman to their team! So I thought I'd try and convert some miniatures to use for this purpose - I considered using the Age of Sigmar Pox-Wretches (which I already have a few of!) but I felt the 40K Pox Walkers had more potential for converting into something that looks like it had recently, suddenly (and violently!) mutated into... something horrific! I really only need one or two...? I'll see if I can't acquire a few spare blood bowl bits - from the teams I have or some of the other locals...
Maybe some of the other poxwalkers could become cheerleaders? Or other sideline staff...? OR I just use them as spare 40K Poxwalkers for an Blackstone Fortress or Wrath & Glory games they might show up in!
While I was at the Warhammer Store, I also ordered the Nurgle team and a couple other individuals - a Rotspawn and Gutrot Spume - the former is an actual Blood Bowl miniature - that seems like a necessary member of any Nurgle team, and the latter is an Age of Sigmar model that I plan to convert a bit. I figure I could remove the giant axe from his hand and replace it with a football, and maybe make some of this attire look a little be more like blood bowl kit... a very little bit, most will probably be left as is... I'm not THAT talented of a converter!
The Nurgle team looks like it will be fun to paint (and hopefully it will get me motivated to FINISH PAINTING THE REST OF MY NURGLE STUFF - for Warhammer Quest: Darkwater and my Age of Sigmar Maggotkin of Nurgle force...)

Oh no, not nurgle too...
ReplyDeleteMy WORST game last league was against Ryan Lion's nurgle team, last game before playoffs and my Stealas rolled SO MANY 1s on foul appearance.... I think i had 3 orcs injured? I fear what foul luck I may have against a collection of your stinky lads...
Oh, don't you worry... I will find SOME way of fouling up my own game!!!
DeleteI mean all the linemen have decay; +1 to all casualty rolls against them - hit 'em hard enough to break their armour and they pop like a wet paper bag full of puss and maggots!
