Here are the first five

I've painted up the first batch of five players.  While that might be enough for what I'll be fielding at the end of games, I'd like to start with a few more players.

I paint from the inside to out.  What that means is, paint whatever's in deep on the model first, then what's covering it, and so on.  If a model of a knight has plate over chain mail, that means paint the mail first, then the plate.  You're more likely to smudge the deeper you go, and it's less of a big deal if you smudge something that you haven't painted yet.

Same thing for Blood Bowl figures.  I started by painting their skin:

Then their pants:




... then the jersies ...
... then the pads ...
... then the hair (this is an elf team, after all, don't forget the highlights!) ...
... then touch up the detail work (piping and belts and buttons and whatnot) ...
... then the bases.
I painted a ball while waiting for the green to dry.
Here's a comparison of the two "mohawk guys":




I still need to do things like jersey numbers, some details, but I'll probably bring all the figures up to this state and do them all at once.  I have a four day weekend coming up for Easter, I should be done when that's finished.
