Typical gamer, I haven't played a single game of Blood Bowl but my second team has just arrived in the mail. During my quest for fun Blood Bowl teams to paint I found this little crowdfunding project on Indiegogo; Willy Miniatures Ultimate Halfling Team. Indiegogo is definitely not my favorite platform for this kind of thing because you have to pay upfront and then making changes requires coordination with the organizer. That being the case I didn't jump in till almost the end when all the stretch goals were unlocked.
The team I purchased consists of 14 individually sculpted halfling players, 2 standard treemen (#2 & #3), Old Stump (star treeman), a Halfling star player, a coach and a chief (I think this counts as a cheerleader, or maybe for halflings a medic). I also picked up three other minis out of the Willy Miniatures line; the dryad, the human female star player and the dwarf cheerleader.
I took a quick look at the castings and they look great! Very clean, they should be ready to paint in no time. And yes I'm already aware that you should not expect to win with this team, but they will be fun to paint and should at least look good in defeat!
Here are a few initial shots from the grand box opening:
