The mission continues to empty the cupboard of shame and get each team painted up. If I take a different race to each tournament I should eventually tick off the 24/26 races needed for the relevant NAF patch! I'm slowly getting there with 10 races played so far...
After picking up this 3rd edition metal High Elf team in parts from eBay, my first step was to get them prepared and primed...
As you can see I got enough linemen to make up an all lineman team! I also have 4 blitzers... for some reason I primed them all... gosh darn it they're not dark elves... silly me! I only needed 2. Ho Hum!
Once primed I coated the bases with texture paint... I didn't want to do this later and get it on their boots!
These are the main paints I used, along with the usual black, flesh shade and nuln oil etc. Of course I blended them to try and get some good build up of layers, but I wanted a bold colour scheme, so I didn't go gently on the brighter edging.
Anyway, I don't think they turned out too bad... I also followed the
NAF basing conventions to help players that haven't seen these old miniatures before.
...Firstly, the catchers;
And the blitzers & thrower;
And then there were the four different linemen poses;
I'm taking these guys to
The Red Trophy II hosted at Tabletop Republic in High Wycombe. I'll do another blog post on the tournament later... where hopefully I'll be using this babe as my turnmarker!
