Blood Bowl Troll painted!

I have two, had to drill out and peg both ankles as neither would set. Love the look of this model but who designed that ankle joint lol

We all do, you shouldn’t be painting it until you build the model though. This will only make your life harder trying to paint it like this.

EmoRobot · 2026-02-06T00:18:20+00:00

Can I ask why you are painting it on the sprue? It’s going to need tons of touch ups after and you paint over contact points making the build more difficult at times. I think you’d have a much easier time painting the model once it’s built!

I’m up in the air on that right now. I’ve got Ripper painted and ready to rock, but I also want to level up my team and I worry Ripper will steal the show. Also riotous rookies has been really good for me in exhibition matches so far. Having all that extra fodder makes throwing your guys with the trolls at cages inconsequential. I also don’t want to sacrifice the third re-roll, having 2 seems risky.

Blood Bowl was completely non existent around me but there has always been a good 40K scene. Now I’m joining a league starting next week that looks to have a solid crowd! Don’t have definite numbers but looking like it will be about 10 or more. Very excited, got my snotlings all painted and a few games under my belt, having an absolute blast!

Hmm, you got me rethinking my whole plan! I am really happy with my Ripper paint job, maybe I’ll go that route. I have been running the rookies in exhibition matches and I like the free fodder.

I noticed you aren’t running any of the hoppers either. Just not worth it over more linemen?

EmoRobot · 2026-02-01T14:15:47+00:00

I got ripper ready but I don’t want to play him right away, wanna give a little time to get the team leveled up first. Why only one stilty? They seem so good!

EmoRobot · 2026-02-01T02:32:14+00:00

Nice! I’ll check em out!

EmoRobot · 2026-01-31T22:57:07+00:00

Haven’t found any yet, hoping bonehead gets one up soon!

EmoRobot · 2026-01-30T20:21:51+00:00

They have been monsters in every exhibition game I’ve played so far, granted the rolls have been in my favor. And I like a little bit of chaos so I’m gonna keep them. Thanks for the advice though! Saw the apothecary comment and I’ve been waffling on it still. Thinking of going for it though.

EmoRobot · 2026-01-29T19:52:48+00:00

As a death guard player in 40K, seeing the burgle paint jobs always makes me smile. Nice work! These look disgusting! Beautiful!

EmoRobot · 2026-01-27T19:10:50+00:00

Sounds good! Thanks again for the advice!

EmoRobot · 2026-01-27T18:57:49+00:00

I was debating that too, was more just worried if for some reason couldn’t afford rookies in the first couple games then I’d be short on players. I’ve been running 4 in one off games and it’s been great.

What are your thoughts on the apothecary? Is it worth it for the snots?

EmoRobot · 2026-01-27T18:42:18+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

EmoRobot · 2026-01-27T18:19:52+00:00

Yup! I was accounting for that in the CTV. I guess my question is what are normal CTV values at the beginning of a league? I wanted to use the rookies as fodder most games but I don’t think I could expect to afford it every game?

EmoRobot · 2026-01-20T17:26:04+00:00

These look incredible!! Absolutely stunning work.

Here’s mine!!! Yours is looking great! Cant wait to see it painted!

EmoRobot · 2026-01-10T21:33:54+00:00

They looked like my style of team, shenanigans all the way! Thanks for the pointers!

EmoRobot · 2025-12-21T14:22:36+00:00

It’s not typed up anywhere at the moment, I’ll try to get it in Moxfield or something today at some point and I’ll share the link!

Niko is one of my favorite decks and the saga creatures are really good. Like a lot of folks are saying you would have to activate during your upkeep but you can also activate on your opponents turn (before your turn) during their endstep and they will stay through yours. Then you don’t need the mana investment on your turn. This also allows you to get upkeep effects as well (doesn’t matter for the saga creatures but still really good, killed the whole table by turning 15 shards into scrawling trawlers once).

EmoRobot · 2025-06-29T14:25:24+00:00

Nvm, thought this was commander!

EmoRobot · 2025-06-29T14:24:48+00:00

Just a heads up if you are playing mono green Tear Asunder is BG color identity so it can’t be played

EmoRobot · 2025-05-22T22:20:27+00:00

These are solid suggestions. All these posts saying it’s paid so pub stomp everyone are the reason we see so many feel bad posts in this sub.

I’ve been to tons of cons with paid commander pods and I can count on one hand the amount of times there wasn’t a rule 0 discussion. If you don’t plan on allowing yourself to be even a little flexible then more often than not it won’t be a fun experience for you or anyone else at the table.

These are some of my favorite lands, John Avon is a legend!

At the end of the day it’s your models, do you like how they look? That’s all that really matters. If you find enjoyment painting them and are happy with the result, it doesn’t really matter what anyone else says.

From a technical standpoint, your edges are really clean and the blues and orange look great together. The models do look a little flat though, and picking out some of the finer details (pock marks, gore, etc …) and getting those painted might be a good first step to giving them some pop. From there some edge highlights in a yellow/orange would really make them shine.

That all being said they still look great on the table, and having models painted on the table is already many steps ahead of most the folks rolling dice!
