What are you doing today hobbywise?

Well, here's the thing. So far, the three companies I have checked out are reasonable in price compared to how pricey Lego has gotten. Don't get me wrong, I like Lego a lot, but they're pricing a lot of people out of their market lately. Of the three alternatives I've tried, one doesn't include any minifigures, the second only sometimes includes them, and the third makes their own version (which may not be the best for small children - an adult WILL have to assemble them first). Pricing? First company isn't bad, second company (no minifigures) is very reasonable, and third, I want to say costs about half of what Lego does. Would you like me to make a topic for my reviews? It wouldn't be much of a difficulty for me. I'm kind of reviewing them for a Lego discord page anyway...

 

Always fun to see! Go for it!

We had one guy in our group like that. He had a lot of money and wasn't attached to any army. Whatever was the "best" army at the time was what he played. He'd pay someone to paint it so he would get high marks for painting in the tournies buy once that list wasn't dominating he'd sell it off for a new one.

 

Back in the early days of Mordheim (the original), I had quite a few war bands but one of my favourites was the Nurgle circus. I just liked the whole storyline behind them, a diseased travelling troupe, possibly infecting unsuspecting townships with their Nurgle plagues whilst hiding behind the guise of putting on a show for the poor people of the towns and homesteads.

Anyway as a big Blood bowl fan I am always looking for another team to collect and whilst I already have the GW Nurgle team, I really like the plague carnival team from Punga. So, whilst still unfinished, here is what I have completed so far. Also attached is an MDF wagon that I recently painted up for my Mordheim warband so I will use it as a prop for the BB team as well.

And a few more..

 

All I can say is that Professor Screweyes would probably like some of those performers to add to his Eccentric Circus...

 

Very well done! I esp love how you painted the faces!

 

NGL, I'm not normally a fan of Blood Bowl, but those are very interesting sculpts, and you did a good job on them - especially the masks on the big guys.

 

Thanks all.
I like Nurgle because you don't have to be neat or highlight everywhere. Messy and dirty is the order of the Grandfather.

Still have the pestigors to do but I'm in a quandary as to how I want the flesh and fur to appear
