Lowdown Rats, Darkside Cowboys, Skaven Scramblers, Albion Assassins, Death Wish and, interestingly, the Champions of Death, although they were a simple conversion of the plastic Skeleton Army. A complete undead team wasn’t released until 1994. Although there were conversions in the late 80s …2/2

In terms of painted 2nd edition blood bowl full teams, you can probably work it out from the publications at the time: The plastics were painted as the Bright Crusaders and Gouged Eye (I don’t think the Reavers ever got a full team). Then metal teams were: Galadrieth Gladiators, Orcland Raiders …1/2

Like Paul said, I sent so long contemplating those ‘in play’ photographs. Here’s the unmodified miniatures for comparison. Considering how much work went into that team, it’s surprising they never made an appearance in White dwarf.

Thank you! They were a lot of fun to draw. Will be interested to see how they play.

I’m just copying the mini! 😄Although, I think I may have drawn the first published blood bowl Squig in 2011 for Garion’s Secret League, and yes, that one had a helmet and a knee/shoulder pad… now obviously there’s only so many ways you can pose a blood bowl Squig, but I did wonder if they’d seen it!
