Waagh! in progress - pt.1

Small update on the painting of the Blood Bowl Orc Team.

Not much to say, I'll be doing these guys 4 at the time being the full team of 16 players.
Enjoy!

Green updates

Last few details before priming and painting-

I put a magnet on every base and made a ball out of green stuff and spare spikes.The ball is obviously also magnetized, so that the miniature holding it can take it around the pitch.

While I was at it, I drilled the hands of the throwers and of a lineorc, so that the ball could fit on their hands. 

 

 Then I based the whole team with sand. It's now primed black, ready for paint!

Green patches of WAAAAGH!

Some updates from the weekend.
I played a couple of matches on my new suitcase-pitch, one was a kind of intro-game for a curious guy that lasted only half time, with my orcs facing (my) his Dark Elves.
The other was a proper match against the Chaos Dwarf team of a friend, who's also working on his own suitcase-pitch, that's more awesome-looking than mine!

 Oh, and I also managed to complete the river part of the pitch.
I'll be pouring some resin soon, but at the moment it will look like it's under a drought period.









Also I got a few ideas about further details I might add to the pitch. Much fun!

I then proceeded with some updates on the Orc team:

 

I completed the Black Orc Blockers;

 I put some green stuff patches on the players;

 I made a little skirt for the thrower;

a plate for the number and a patch on the butt;

and, the last but not the least, I clad in metal the Troll. Shoulderpads and protections for joints.

My Blood Bowl Custom Pitch: "Waaagh! Springs Stadium" - part 3

Once sand and glue were properly dried, I proceeded with painting a brown base over all the surface

 Sever halds were needed to get an uniform colour all over the field, due to the different basing materials (i.e.: polystirene, sand and sand+toilet paper).

Next steps: highligts with whiter tones of brown.

Then I tried out how some synthetic grass would look on the field, with a chessboard pattern,

but without glueing it yet.

 I started painting the white stripes of the pitch and the dugouts, while waiting for the polystirene blocks to glue under the... weight of culture!

And also trying out how a central mark would wOrk out better.

 What's a football pitch without ads?
After some internet browsing, I found many good ones!

Yeah! The field itself is done!!

Then I proceeded with the grass squares. I started with groups of five per time...

...proceeding with packs of 12-15 squares per time.

 That last dirty dozen of squares!

And finally! Green squares over.

Time to make the small water pond.

I used some DAS paste, shaping and placing it in order to look like a river's bed.

I also added some real rocks to better achieve the result.

 

Still byased on the central symbol: straight or slightly crooked? 

And this is the result so far:

 

 My unpainted teams call for painting asap! :P

This is how the pitch looks closed and deployed.

Things I need to complete:

-central Waaagh! symbol;

-turn and reroll counters. Their place is at the side of the dugouts;

-little water pond. It's stll drying and I'll paint it greyish with water effect.
