Even though you are lazy, you can still get cool minis.
Before Christmas I accepted the fact, that I'd never get around to painting my all-time favourite Blood Bowl team: the Skaven.
Skaven was the first BB team I ever played, and I've loved them with a vengeance ever since. That, combined with the amazing sculpting of the 2nd ed. minis by Jes Goodwin, makes them my absolute favourite team.
Therefore, when I saw the amazing work Painted by G had done on his orc team "Der Will be Blood", I decided that he was the right man for the job. I had already collected a complete skaven team with substitute WHFB figs (star players/staff/counters) from the same era - sculpted by Jes Goodwin, of course - so I contacted G(raham) and made an arrangement.
Now, the team's fully done and I can't wait to get my greasy paws on the minis and take them for a test run on the field of glory!
Here they are - my new pride and joy:

Wow, I've been a lazy... Anyway, I'll try and make up for it by posting the work I've done while not blogging about it.
As I wrote in my last/first post, my concentration span didn't last for more than two human players and instead I've started on an orc team. So far I've managed to finish a gobbo and an orc kicker (read: orc lino dirty player!).
The gobbo was meant for Talk Fantasy Footballs Golden Football monthly (January) painting competition (no prizes - just friendly words and motivation); Stunty Stampede. Rules: Only stunties. Unfortunately, as I was too late in submitting, it didn't take part. Stupid me. :/
The "kicker" is for this month's Golden Football; Unsung Heroes (linemen). It still runs for another 9 days, so no polling yet.
Besides the amazing(?) progress of two finished minis, I also started on four orc blitzers for the team - which I'm thinking of calling Liver-in-a-pool FC, by the way - who are still just WIPs. Comments are very welcome!
So, with no further ado, here goes:
