ARBBL goes DwarfFor the Spiky Open in Reading in Oct, the ARBBL group (my club's FF league) will all be taking Impact Dwarf teams - we're all using the same roster, but each of us chose different models to make up our teams. 5 teams will be makng the trip, although there will only be 4 coaches (one will have been posted away by then ), with a dedicated display base for all 5 teams.
The teams are all in various stages (still waiting for some arms so I can start putting mine together), but wanted to show you a pic of one of the figs, as it blew me away when I saw it. 
More pics when we get better ones taken. |

Cool idea, all the same roster, so if you finish higher than your friends you can boast all the way home. 
Watch out spiky! |

Sounds like a cool project ... look forward to seeing the final product.

Exactly that reason + in our league, I don't automatically win all the games, yet I always finish hishest in tourneys (unless I deliberately take a crap race, and even then I don't always come last), so we decided to do this to see if it is luck more than anything when my lot attend tourneys.
Not sure I'd go that far! 
I think 3 or 4 in the Dungeonbowl is doable though!

The ball looks a bit too small on the picture | ||||

Ball comes from the Pumpkinhead ball arm (with hand resculpted). | ||||

It's a nice idea, but is there actually going to be a Spiky Open this year? I haven't seen it announced yet and it's not on the NAF list. | ||||

If the Spiky doesn't go ahead then I hope that the Andover lads put on the ARBBL Second Coming part 2.
If no Spiky what's the chances? pretty please Darkson |

Big gap in posts but...
Spiky is going ahead (check TBB for details - I'm not 100% certain wheter it's been posted on the NAF site [edit] it's on the NAF tourney list, but there was no thread about it on the forum, so I've started one [/edit] ), so no, the ARBBL won't be doing a 2nd Coming this year. The teams are well on their way, 2 teams finished, one team almost completed (was finished, but then the coach descided to change some colours), one has a bit of colour (  ) and one is on it's way (coach was working in the Falklands, so has an excuse).
Updates can either be found at our website (http://arbbl.webs.com/) or the Photobucket album I set up for us (http://s564.photobucket.com/albums/ss82/ARBBL/). |

All 5 dwarf teams are finished (well, mine need basing, but that's in hand so they match the other 4 teams).
Last updated pics are here: http://arbbl.webs.com/apps/photos/album?albumid=5598310 , but there won't be anymore updates until after Spiky next weekend, as we want to keep some surprises.
Pics of all 5 teams will be up after the tourney though. Best bit of all of it (and I have to say I hate painting - it was a real struggle) is that I now have a painted (3/10 effort) dwarf team, so I never need to paint another dwarf model again! |

They make mine (which I think are pretty good...hell, even Norse said so) look crap :( | ||||
| Darkson |
Mine aren't up there yet. Trust me, yours are better than mine - the ones up on the site now are from the guys at the club that enjoy painting. | ||||
| Darkson |
It's all over - photos of the finished teams and base will be up over the week.
Best placing was mine (thanks to a lucky win in the last game), at 20th of 32.
I now have a fully painted dwarf team, and I never want to platy dwarfs again!

Pics are now up - comments on the painting is welcome, but not on mine (it sucks, I know it sucks, and I hated painting so much I refuse to put time into learning to do it bett! ), as it comments on why a non-FF club would want to go to so much effort (which we all asked ourselves! ).
