Blood Bowl: Making my balls sticky

Couldn't resist that post title...

Anyway, when you're playing Blood Bowl, it well annoying when one of your models has the ball:

So you pick him up and the ball rolls of his base.  Especially true when you're using the old plastic ball from the 2nd Ed box like me.

With a bit of light hobby you can get it to do this:

As I mentioned the ball is plastic, so I drilled a hole into it and inserted a short piece of paper clip.  Next add this:

A small magnet to the bottom of the base.  The ball is light enough and the magnet strong enough to hold it through the base.  I've done my whole team like this, but you could quite quickly and easily do this for your main ball carriers.

This won't work with heavier, metal balls (I've tried), you'll need stronger magnets for that.

Blood Bowl Necromantic Team: Painted

I've been feeling the Blood Bowl vibe recently, and so finally got my team painted up.

They're more or less named the same as they are in the online BB league I play in.

Here they are: the Rotting Remains.

Two werewolves, 1 - Skokurg the Furry and 2 - Caleb Whitemane:

Two Wights, 3 - Robin the Cold-Hearted and 4 - Sikvor the Revived:

Zombies! Zombies! Zombies!

6 - Jack Splinter

7 - Toby Hearted

8 - Brainy the Hungry

9 - Dearly Departed

12 - Halo Shoemaker

Ghouls:

10 - Mudgrinder

11 - Spinemuncher

I've just got to do a Flesh Golum or two now. I might use the new Crypt Stalker models for that.

Blood Bowl Necromantic Team

The Blood Bowl Legendary Edition PC game was dirt cheap a few weeks back on Steam, so I took a punt and downloaded it. I'm glad I did, as I'd forgotten what a good game Blood Bowl is!

Anyway, it got me fired up again to do some Blood Bowl mins. I've been playing a Necromantic team on the PC, so I went for the same on the tabletop.

Werewolves, mostly Ork/Orc bitz:

Ghouls and Wights, made from the Vampire Counts range:

And zombies:
