[Blitz Bowl] New 3D Printed Teams

In looking for cheaper options to add more Blitz Bowl teams to my collection, I turned to 3D printing and found JesterPrints on Etsy, a local 3D printer here in Sydney, Australia.


Sean from JesterPrints was kind enough to fulfil a custom order - instead of 3D printing the complete Blood Bowl teams on his Etsy store, Sean printed a selection from each Blood Bowl team to make a Blitz Bowl teams!

So I've just received my next 5 teams, and I'll start painting through them.

[Blitz Bowl] Terrain Phase 2 - Part 1 Designed and Constructed

Phase 2 of my Blitz Bowl Terrain Project will be the obstructions for the pitches in Season 1 and Season 2, which luckily use the same pieces.

Here are some WIP photos of the construction and completed pieces, but I'll have wait for a sunny day before hitting them with a few coats of paint.

[Blitz Bowl] Terrain Phase 1 - Part 1 Designed and Constructed

Now that I have my custom Blitz Bowl pitch, I need custom terrain pieces to represent the obstructions on the pitches of Season 1, Season 2 and Ultimate Edition gameboards.

Phase 1 of my Blitz Bowl Terrain Project are the pillars and walls for the Ultimate Edition pitches. 
I designed the pillars and walls using simple MDF squares and rectangles, and had the pieces cut and shipped by Back to Base-ix here in Australia.

I've finished construction for each of the pieces, but I'll give them a coat of paint and post pictures of the final pieces once they're completed.

[Blitz Bowl] Custom Pitch

Thanks to the generous Dawid Å»abicki of the Blitz Bowl Fans facebook group, I am now the proud owner of a custom Blitz Bowl pitch!


The image used for the pitch was kindly shared by Dawid, along with his recommendation for the AliExpress listing for 'custom 2mm thick neoprene mousepads' to have the mat printed and delivered.

Now I'll need to make some custom terrain, to represent all the combinations of obstructions for each of the Blitz Bowl pitches from Season 1, Season 2 and Ultimate Edition!
