To be honest, I don't entirely remember why. I went with a mix of Wraithbone and Grey Seer. With the models sorted out, it was time to spray. And here it is, my alt Pump Wagon build, featuring a turbo-cooled, halfing-fed, twin-squig motor! Time to get converting! With all the various bitz scattered across my hobby desk, I went to town choppin' and slicin' and gluin' it all back together in a new shape. However, you get two on your roster and two in the kit, but I didn't want two identical models on the team.

A zany contraption of mass carnage on the pitch, it's also a very cool new model. One of the coolest new additions to the team is the Pump Wagon. Once I had put them all together, I had a fun mix of Rogue Trader runts, Fantasy Battle snots, Underworlds minions, and even some genuine Blood Bowl Snotlings. I decided to do a 50-50 split of old and new models, and then mix in extras like the squiggly beasts across all of the models as base decorations. With so many old models, and so many new models in the new kit, it was fortunate that the BB roster both allows and encourages far more than the standard 16-man roster.

They were helper creatures that served as pets, tools, raw materials (like oil), weapons (face-biters), and even hair (since Orks didn't grow hair naturally). These were from the Rogue Trader days when squigs first appeared in the 40K Ork lore. Those of you with sharp eyes will see a bunch of squiggly beasts mixed in there. When I got all the old stuff together with the new team box, this is what it looked like.

As it turns out, I've been a greenskin fan - and specifically a Snotling fan - long enough to have a substantial pile of old models from the various generations of Citadel. And what could be better than the looney hijinks of Snotlings? Not only would this be a fun project for using Contrast paints, it also (conveniently) checks the box as a good excuse for exhuming more of those ancient models from my bitz box and finally slapping some paint on them. To celebrate the release of Blood Bowl Season 2, I wanted to build one of the new teams created as part of the new edition.
