Show us your Blood Bowl teams!

I guess it´s my turn now to show off some stuff of my BB collection but I will concentrate on a single team. It´s my favourite soccer team SV Werder Bremen and the players depicted in the album were actual players in the 80s and early 90s though not all of them played together on the the same team. Just think of it as my personal All-Star team. Do I follow soccer nowadays? Nope, I even don´t know any of the actual players on the current team.
A lot of people on this board won´t recognize any of these guys but one former player should be properly introduced to you:

Rudi Völler (SV Werder Bremen)

He was one the most famous and beloved soccer players in Germany and was even Bundestrainer. A very nice guy that could even talk proper trash, if the situation demanded it. The two stuck up, arrogant and insufferable pricks by the name of Delling and Netzer acting as "experts" were badmouthing the german soccer team after the 1:1 vs. Iceland in 2003. Rudi Völler responded in kind with his memorable "Wutrede":


By the way, here is the link of the album:

In addition to the usual line up of the team is also an Ogre by the name of Kowalski. This name was inspired by a TV show from the 90s namely Ren & Stimpy. These two cartoon characters were infamous for all sorts of gross humour and slapstick. Another character portrayed in the show was Kowalski, a seven year-old human being resembling an Ogre who was fostered by Ren & Stimpy. His favourite food & drink was MEAT.

Also three star players are shown (Griff Oberwald, Zug and Zara the Slayer). Apart from the players, SV Werder Bremen managed to hire a Team Wizard.

While I painted my team, I took some efforts to pay hommage to the cheat sheet of BB from 2nd namely the stats from the Human and Orc teams. The positions were colour-coded in these days because the figures were monopose. Therefore the players on my team have coloured towels to make identification easier for the positions:

White: Thrower
Red: Blitzer
Yellow: Catcher
Grey: Lineman

Have a nice day.

Dwarf Giants in their 2nd Edition colours. I much prefer the old school colour schemes.
 
That's a cracking paint job, shame it's wasted on such a lame team as dwarfs! :p

Ps. Chorfs rule!
 
That is a very nice paint job! Always nice to see some skaven taking to the pitch they play fun and fast without being elves (always a good thing to not be an elf!)

Really nice highlight on the black
 
Yeah I got it at the Works. It was £4 (actually £2.50 as I chose one that had some Nurgley stains on it) and is just right for a blood bowl team with cards and dice. I might get one for the human and orc teams from the box as well.

EDIT: looked at the link, it is that exact box.

Sweet - pre-decorated and discounted too!

I'd been considering picking up one or two of those and trying to make them into scenery (risers) that could also be used to store smaller scatter terrain inside - I just hadn't got round to it yet...
 
nope, all I can see is the image box too :( and im on chrome. might be your persmissions, is your album set to public visible?
 
Okay, please treat me like a buffoon and tell me the idiots guide on how to do that...?

P.S. All I did was right click on the picture, select 'copy image', then paste it on here.
 
Okay, have you got an album on here or did you copy the pic from an external site?

If it's an album on here, the camera icon in the reply, click that and you can select any photo fro myour albums in a bit that appears below the post.

If you are using an external site, I'd suggest copying the URL and pasting that into the box that appears when you click the pic icon (next to the smileys) when replying.

If you are dragging and dropping your pic to make it an attachment to the post... do it again but give it time to upload (bar should appear at the underneath the text box you are typinga reply in, and once its done buttons will appear to hte right of the pic saying thumbnail or full image).

Hope that helps a bit.
