Making an Alternative Vampire Blood Bowl Team pt2 - Wolves and Werewolves

 

Now I have my Vampires I thought I would use up models I have collected over the years as Thralls.  I found 6 Skin Wolves (I think that was what they where called) that where half painted which just needed re-basesing and 10 Fenrisian Wolves.  I know it is a bit of an over kill with the amount but it could be fun to do and look cool.  Then it struck me.... it is a bit Twilighlty. 

I used sculpted bases from easy fit AoS figures I had collected over the past few months.

I don't use dry brushing method any more but I wanted to do this as fast as possible because I have many projects to get through.  So I re-introduced myself to the technique and I forgot how fast you can paint units. 

Unfortunatly I used all my moulded bases on the Skin Wolves so I started create my own from the Garden of Morr set.

So there we have it my Blood Bowl team is complete with enough replacements to keep me going for ages, :)

Making an Alternative Vampire Blood Bowl Team pt1 - Vampires

Many, many years ago I use to play Dungeon Bowl which in my opinion was a better game than Blood Bowl, but unfortunately there is no release for it, so I will have to stick with Blood Bowl as I am abstaining from 40K.  I also wanted a conversion / kit bashing project, so I decided on a team based around the Brides of Dracula and I think I found the perfect candidates as the basic form; Myrmourn Banshees.

As the heads of the Myrmourn Banshees are ghost like visages with vials, I decided to cut them off and create my own female Vampire heads. I used spare heads from the Dark Eldar sorry Drukhari Wyches and attached the hair from Daughters of Khaine Doomfire Warlocks.

Now I just needed to blend the hair to the head and create breasts to fill the gap in the metal chest armour/basque.

I included this one for a laugh, I accidentally selected a Dark Elder Male head (I wasn't wearing my glasses) and I only noticed the next day when he/she was finished oops 

I was originally goinf to paint all different colours of hair but I just like the red as in contrast against the blue green of the clothing and the green vines on the base.  To be honest I got carried away.

OK they are finished very easy to paint and fairly easy to convert, to create a unique looking vampire team.  I know it's not a traditional style of Blood Bowl team but who wants to be traditional :)
