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.

Grey 'uns go faster.

Well, not really.
But their assembling process was quicker than ever!
Despite having a ton of miniatures waiting for proper paint, I decided to build an Orc Blood Bowl Team.
Work is still far from completion, but they're playable (atleast they can face my BB Dark Elves ) with a couple of proxy.

These guys are the blitzers. The Allorc Brother Blitzers, precisely.

Their numbers will be, left to right, 3, 3.2, 4 and 4.2. Orcs have issues with numbers, ya' know.

The big guy on the left is a Black Orc. His brothers are yet unassembled, but soon to come.

Next we have number 9, the lineorc, ready for an opponent's charge.

Tall guy is the Troll, n.11. He will have joints protection on all his limbs and I'm thinking about sculpting him an helmet out of green stuff.

The naked one on the right is the Thrower. He'll probably get Leader sooner or later, so he's portrayed like if he's shouting some order or team tactic. Number three, it seems. But orcs have issues with numbers, so I wouldn't bet on that.

The small one, the Goblin, has already a name: Looby. I think it says all.

Oh yes, I also built a couple of Runners for the Nagarroth Nightmares. I'm really happy with the result!

Plus I'm working on two battlefields... but this will be another post!

Blood drops

 Just a minor update, with the last progresses on the BB team.

I tried a reddish colour, but it ended up too red:

So I went for a darker armor.
It looks better, but stil I'm not sold on it.

 

Helmet needs some more whiter blue highlight, and I'm on doubt about the white shoulderpad.

And that's the final version, pretty much.
Shoulder pad looks better close to the finished helmet.

Anyway, that's it for now!

Blood Bowl!

 I'll be having a Blood Bowl tournament next month, so I assembled a little team of Dark Elves for the event!
Their pieces are coming from spare parts of Dark Elves and Dark Eldar.

Happy with the result, I'll get these guys and gals painted very soon!

Number 01 to 06 from left to right, these are the linemen -or lineelves-. 

 Number 07 to 11, the blitzers and a witch elf.

 I'm planning to add a couple of throwers, maybe another witch and an assassin sometime in the future.

Also thinking about the painting scheme:
-Purple armor, white shoulder;
-Green armour, red shoulder;
-Red armour, white shoulder.
