Abby has watched me play Blood Bowl a bit and finds it amusing. Since I’ve been toying with the idea of painting an actual, physical team, I asked her if she’d want to paint a team and play too. “Only if there’s a girl team,” was the answer. I showed her the Amazons on the PC game. She thought they were awesome. Colorful feathers and skulls are right up her alley. This is a kid who wears a t-shirt with a pink sequined skull on it.
Luckily I found a 3rd party Amazon team from Impact miniatures that was pretty faithful to the look without being cheesecake. Also, luckily, reading up on Amazons, they seem like a good team too.

Nicely painted examples below found in the tubes somewhere.
So, hopefully, later this year there will be some father/daughter painting time. She’s ten, so she’s definitely old enough to start painting minis herself.
I have a Playboy Bunnies team I picked up really cheap in a game store auction about 8 years ago. I have always been too embarrassed to field them, as they have no redeeming social value.
ReplyDeleteExcept for the Playboy Ogre Bunny.
Yeah, the original Amazon team was pretty good, but probably super expensive on ebay. I didn't even look. Everything else I found was cheesecake. Which is fine, but not for a ten year old.
ReplyDeleteSo, like, having a kid means your players always show up, right?
