Blood Bowl is here.

I have finally gotten my human team. It has been a long time in coming. I had an interest in purchasing the team for a while now, but up to this point there had really been no reason. The new sculpt is so much better than all the other teams. I loved the mini's but there was no one to play. Now I have a reason. The Chaos Cup. Of course it will be attended by the best painters in the world, and I will be doing everything in my power to avoid at the least being shamed by them.
I have spent the last few days working on cleaning the models of their mold lines and flash. I have finished that on all save two, which are going to require some green stuff. I have primed what is done and have begun to try to base coat my first lineman. The Camera is out off commission right now so I can't provide pictures, but I will soon.
I am stepping out on a limb with this first one. I am trying something very very new for me. I have only had the chance to do some small experiments with the new techniques. I have primed everything in white. I am applying washes only the to the model, and keeping the paint very very thin. I do not have much in the way of color theory, so my shading and highlights may be a bit boring, but I am hoping for a very clean result. The first few experiments with the so called 'French' technique we both very successful, and abysmal. I believe though that with a big portion of my time spent on perfecting the base coat, then the rest should come along nicely. I hope 'the pushing and pulling of paint' works on this first model. It could be a new step for me.
