It is time to check out all of the awesome WiPs that people have made for the challenge!
Note that I will only show WiPs in black and white for this update and with excerpts for each 🙂
But lets just get right to it, pretty pics always tops words 😉
Fummelfinger
This team has been waiting for a lick of paint and it looks like this challenge has helped there!
Julian
“In the forty-first millennium there is only WAR.
& Duuuuussssstttttt-Bowl!!!!!”
Julian has made this fantastic trio of stimmed to the gills goliath BB players. How terrifying isnt that as far as basher teams go!
Nathan
Ophelia Ironthorn, a dryad who was told she was too soft and too pretty to join the forest team, so she took maters into her own hands and stuffed her bark with the Iron nails of man and tore away her beauty in one agonising ritual of sacrifice.
Nathan has made a very creepy character with some seamless kitbashing. Very impressive!
Euan
Og Goblin
“Fall of the Belov’d of Isha”.
Looking at how it came out, I’m thinking this probably represents the moment that Isha was swallowed by Slaanesh, rather than later, when she was “rescued” by Nurgle.
Euan has really been at it making two very different but super cool characters! I’m hoping he’ll make a full Chaos Pact team tbh 😀
Esben
Necrarch-style vampires. Inspired by the Necrarch Blood Bowl Secret League roster.
Very sinister lot from Esben with some great greenstuffed armour! Very intrigued to see more from this secret BB league 🤔
The Puppeteering One
Blistus the Nurgle warrior (two mutations: big hand and tentacles)
Well he is truly blessed and characterfull and cool to boot! Love the helmet.
Vladimir
Werewolf and wight for an upcoming Necromantic team.
Well with this great start I can’t wait too see more positionals 😅
Calle
Three of them are part of my Daemon of Khorne team ”Skyla’s Unikhornes” and the last one is an Igor.
Esoteric in miniature form. Love it 😀
Casey
Chaos Renegades team. The first is a the team ogre, the second is a marauder.
Very nice looking positionals! As I am very fond of big guys the ogre is a natural fav 🙂
Henry
Wanting to join in but hadnt come beyond the concept stage I think we can safely say that this looks very promising!!
Gary
Fimir Team – counts as Ogres.
FW Fimir; two handed Weapons removed and punch daggers and fists installed.
For snotlings I’ve made little Bog Imps out of nurglings and various heads.
The first full team shown with markers and everything! Lovely stuff and I can’t wait too see some paint on these!
Giuseppe
Starplayer ogryn blocker hired by a mercenary human team.
Putting the might in Mighty blow this one 💪🏻
James
WIP photo of my first Norse player.
Early but very promising goings!
Manu
Manu has already utilized the newest plastics to make a truly scary big guy! Imagine an entire team of these – YIKES!
itswhatevan
Another model using the brand new and already very popular Cawdor sprues. Very cool and it`ll be fun to see more of this player (and hopefully a team)!
Gor Hammer
A very brutal looking chap with some seamless integration of the BB bitz. Very nice start!
–
That`s all I think but if someone feels left out do give me a shoutout. Even the bigboss is only human 😉
In summary this is more awesome than I had dared hope for! I really must commend everyone for really bringing new and cool elements to BB which was kinda the hope that we could achieve. Now with October left for painting we are all in for a treat I am sure!
Please note that it is not too late to join in!
The most important deadline is October 31st when your mini(s) needs to be painted, based, taken a nice pic of (or two) and sent to bigbossredskullz@gmail.com

Awesome job everyone! I really like Henry’s sketches, those dudes look impressively weird. I’d also like to hear a parts breakdown on Vladimir’s werewolf.
Yes there’s a lot of eyecandy here 😀
Fantastic stuff so far, really digging the Nurgle guy at the end and the Fimir team but lots of potential across the board. Thanks for organising this sweet challenge!
Totally agree! So much cool stuff 😀
There’s certainly some great stuff on show. I’m particularly taken with the way that the Cawdor minis seem rather flexible.
They’re definitely the new «it kit» which can be used for everything 😀
Wow, great stuff coming out of this! Really excited to see a Fmir team. That was one of my favorite minis from the Heroquests games, and I’ve always wanted to see them crossover to Blood Bowl. Nice work everyone!
I agree! The fimir are a remarkable race and it’ll be great to see more of them.
I didn’t know the lore on them before, and read a bit about them after I first heard of someone trying a Blood Bowl team. It sounded a bit difficult. Sounds like this team idea would work better, with the Fimir being used as Ogres.
Yeah that’s the plan as I understand it. They are very big! Should use that female fimir druid/mage as a headcoach.
[…] has been really fun with great attendance, better than expected tbh 🙂 One thing is the 17 wip entries we got, but social media interest and response has been very good. A lot of people have followed […]
