My own model was then painstakingly grafted together from all kinds of odds and ends, mostly bitz from the Ogre Kingdoms catalgoue, really, that came from a rathe big job lot of ogre bitz I bought a couple of years ago. I thought these were such a wonderful little touch, and – avid kitbasher that I am – I couldn’t stop wondering how difficult it would be to come up with a little “camgrot” of my own.īefore I actually started converting, I tried to get a couple of proper screenshots of the camgrots from the game (which turned out to be rather tricky, seeing how they are only ever in the frame for a couple of seconds, or so small that you cannot get a good enough look at them), but I ended up capturing a few pictures of the sneaky gitz… One thing I immediately noticed when playing the Blood Bowl II video game were the little goblin cameramen appearing in every other scene (and during the actual games): Now what is this supposed to be, I hear you asking, some kind of sneaky special weapon? More than anything, however, it’s a characterful little piece with just the right amount of humour, and hence an ideal addition to the Ultraz! 🙂 Also, seeing how I’ve had this guy in my bitzbox for ages, I would say he also qualifies as a neglected model for Azazel’s June challenge.īut wait, there’s more! For instance, I still want to address this mystery model I shared with you a while ago: In terms of gameplay, this little guy could be a model for an assistant trainer (haha, yeah right! 😉 ).

And afterwards, the Orkheim Ultraz’ “Kit-Git” was finished: Not bad, eh? And a few more tweaks and touchups later, I had a mostly finished model:Īt this point, it was mostly a matter of adding some subtle “special effects”, so I added some Tamiya Clear Red to the severed (?!) human head, and yet more Tamiya Clear Red, albeit thinned down, to the big chunk of meat on the model’s left shoulder, making it look suitably juicy and …erm “tasty” 😉Īll that was left was to quickly finish the model’s base.

When it came to painting the model, it was mostly a question of blocking in some base colours, then adding a heavy wash of Army Painter Dark Tone and watch it do most of the work for me: Even so, I grafted an ornamental wing to the head sticking out from the backpack, making it look like the remains of an unlucky player from an opposing team… It was already quite characterful enough and didn’t really require any conversion. I loved the idea of having a massively overburdened little greenskin lugging around the team’s extra equipment/trophies/snacks, and the model perfectly fit the bill! It’s basically a stock model, one of the “bonus gnoblars” that came with most of the Ogre Kingdoms kits. And sometimes you just have to go with what feels right in this hobby of ours, right?įortuntately enough, I didn’t have to dig deep into my cupboard of shame, because there was this little guy here, set aside as a part of my Blood Bowl project years ago: …must have lit a bit of a fire under me, because I really felt the need to add some more, slightly humorous, grots to my collection.

Oh well, what can you do…Īnyway, painting that little snotling with the hammer recently – this little fellow here -… So, in a move that probably borders on being suicidal, I am following it up this week with yet more Blood Bowl content. My previous post showcasing my finished Ork Blood Bowl team must have been my least successful post this year, both in terms of views and comments, unfortunately enough.
