Over the last two years or so I’ve collected cool looking Skaven character models knowing I would eventually make an Underworld or Skaven team. This is another benefit of a …more
Kitbashed Underworld Team
System: Blood Bowl
Techniques: Kitbashing, magnetising, comic book style painting
Status: Active
Blood Bowl – I just can’t get enough of it. In September 2018, the man cave edged closer and closer to being usable to do some actual modelling. At the time I was supposed to be working on my Inquisition warbands and Chaos Warriors for Kings of War but the new season of Blood Bowl had recently started at the club and my Undead were shambling out for a second shot at glory. So, Blood Bowl was very much front of mind and as soon as the cave was complete I pulled out the bits to start an Underworld team for 2019’s season.
I love Blood Bowl modelling projects – it lets me use kits I’d never have cause to (Skaven and Goblins here) and the low model number means I can go to town on the conversions. Underworld is a not entirely effective team on the pitch but – more so even than most Blood Bowl teams – has tonnes of modelling potential due to their easy access to mutations. It’s because of this that I decided the “schtick” for this project would, much like my Necromunda Goliaths, be magnetised models that allow me to mutate the team as they develop.

Turn & Reroll Markers
Reroll markers are slightly frivolous addition to a team but many Skaven characters come with pretty cool back banners that seem a shame to waste (given they would not be …more
Warpstone Troll – Part 1
The team’s troll is based on a river troll. With some tinkering I could see that a classic “lineout” Blood Bowl pose would be possible. I glued the legs to …more
More throwers, and a 2nd blitzer

Dungeonbowl Accessories
My only completed hobby project in June was the set of treasure chests and portals from Dungeonbowl. Bit of a slow down this month due to needing to work on …more
Warpstone Troll, Take 2
This is my second attempt at an Underworld Troll, last time I started making one from a river troll loaded up with cork rocks to represent the warpstone growing from its …more
Warpstone Troll, Part 2
I mentioned that the Troggoth kit comes with plenty of spare arms so I bashed out a practice piece. Here I was testing 3 things – the idea of clearly …more
Warpstone Troll, Part 3
In the previous post I had finished colour blocking the troll. After that I was straight into black lining, and on a model this big this was a really fun …more
