Blood Bowl - Pitch Finished!

Good news! I finished up my Blood Bowl pitch a few months back! Bad news: I am just getting around to posting about it. Sorry about that.

This was my first attempt at creating any sort of terrain and I thought that it turned out fine. I didn't try to do anything fancy. I just wanted to get some sort of field that teams could play on.

Getting a static grass mat and using Eustachian brads was the key to making this project work out as well as it did.

Making terrain eats up static grass, glue, and paint like crazy. Buy in bulk! I switched to Apple Barrel and other craft paints to do all of the paintwork and drybrushing. I also borrowed some sand from a local playground.

The few rocks came from the side of the road. I had to save money where I could! The scatter, scoring, and turn tracks were simply printed out on card stock and then given multiple coats of spray varnish.

I like the extruded foam panel that I made it on. However, next time I will get the extruded polystyrene (in blue or pink). That way I won't have to deal with those annoying little white balls of plastic that get everywhere. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had to wrap the sides in black duct tape earlier than I wanted to to avoid those things flying around.

I am very pleased with the way the Blood Bowl field turned out. It was a fun project to complete and it didn't cost very much! Someday soon I'll purchase a team or two, paint them up, and start a league!
