There was no obvious way for me to take a good picture of this, and naturally one might arrange all the fans in different ways.
I plan to get back to painting teams now, but I think I will keep painting fans with 'left over' paint.
Comments always welcome.
This dwarf is clearly a slayer, and perhaps quite a drunk first and foremost. He is - and always was - unarmed and taking a swig from his bottle, and he is obviously not the fittest slayer out there, slaying more ales than greenskins these days. Did he pawn his axe? Perhaps he used to play blood bowl untill injuries sidelined him...
Some drink to remember, some drink to forget, right?
Points to anyone who may know where this guy came from. I do, but I was not happy with him, so he got a new beard and a modest mohawk, and I think it worked quite well.
This is a rather large rat, a proper stormvermin-type, and naturally he came out to the game in his famous blue raincoat. I did sculpt the goofy hat on him in an effort to make him look a bit more like a fan, but he kinda ended up looking a bit more like a bum.
This may be the guy who has lined his coat with tickets to the sold out game!
Naturally he was disarmed, but he does have brass knuckles on one hand. You may recognize him as a cousin of the skaven who plays for my recently painted chaos pact.
Chaos fans! The yellow-clad cultists of The Changer come out to the game, robed and ready to rumble.
I did say that my fans would not be out and out armed, and I like avoiding anacronisms or a mix of historical periods by having medievals rubbing elbows with moderns in the stands or on the pitch. That said, the cultists I had to spare for this lunacy were the crude dagger-toting kind, and I chose a bright yellow for their robes to test some techniques for that. I made allowance for the daggers, because the minis would look ridiculous without them.
Fairly awful minis.
Getting horny now?
You may wonder if this guy falls over as easily as one might expect. Pretty much! He has got some metal at the front, and I threw on a bone to help too. Still not great.
I know I have one goblin musician on here already, but eventually they could end up in different sections anyway, so I am not worried.
I like playing stunties and throwing players, and little goblins, snotlings or halflings with goggles and that old skool aviator look are always charming. Now and then, your throw sends an unfortunate little guy over the sideline and into the stands, though... and here he is!
For some reason I decided to spend exactly 59 minutes (the length of the CD I listened to) painting this awful little fellow. He is the sort of mini that you cannot remember where or why you got. A gnome, from the looks of it, and now a blood bowl fan.
I think this somewhat oddly sculpted goblin (did he need those trousers?) was a freebie or a cheapie at some point, but finally his day has come, and the spectators can buy themselves a fine sausage to snack on at the game.
This weirdo gave me an opportunity to experiment with purple and green together. Limited success, I would say. His hat looks shiny in the picture, but that is just because I have yet to varnish and de-gloss all the fans.
Fixed up the guy with the scarf... So to speak.
The other one is of course more or less your standard hooligan, though his hair ended up making him a bit of a Real Slim Shady. I am not actually a big fan of that mini to begin with, but he came out okay.
It seems 90 percent or so of all goblins are in fact hairless. Being one of the hairy ones and going skinhead... powerful statement!
