Gnomes on Parade

Normally I don't care much for whatever GW is releasing but I think this is awesome.

Those are some good gnomes!

Agreed with Guyra - these are great! I love the druidish one with the goose. And the fox with the football (blood ball?) in its mouth is so adorable…

I pre-ordered these and the new treeman this Saturday. Best looking Blood Bowl team they have put out in a while.

Right up there with the Gwaka’moli Crater Gators and Dwarf Deathroller, lol

Man those Skinks are adorable, with their big heads!

I think all of that is a reference to a spanish cartoon, David the Gnome, where Gnomes are magical forest creatures, have the traditional red conical caps, and travel by riding intelligent Foxes! It's pretty well known in Europe.

Oh cool! That sounds really cute honestly. But are you sure David is not actually a redcap playing a long game of deceit?

Yeah, saw these new gnomes while I was pre-ordering the warcry and kill team stuff this weekend. I’m not into blood bowl at all, but they do look like great, whimsical models. I did look at them with an assessing eye for just a minute wondering if there was a way I could kitbash them into red caps, but it looked like too much work, and I would have to source scythes and axes and such elsewhere. But they are definitely nice looking models.

Blood Bowl is a pretty fun theme, it's basically Warhammer Fantasy but less serious.
If you like the theme, I also recommend Rumbleslam, which is pretty much the same Warhammer (and assorted fantasy) theme, but as anachronistic wrestling teams!

The real reason his cap is red has a dark and dreadful secret his forest friends do not know about...

I assembled this box this morning and I'll admit when I opened it and saw all the tiny pieces I asked myself why I'd done this.
I don't think I've ever bought a GW box before and there were a lot of options I wasn't really expected. There were also some interesting extra "terrain" bits that fit the theme of the box.

I like this extra piece and modified it makes a great "territory" marker.

I really enjoyed this kit.
I don't foresee any GW products in my future but I'll certainly be open to them, for the right price.

I hate gluing tiny pieces, they often stick to my fingers, I know what you mean!
