Remainder Mark - A remainder mark is usually a small black line or dot written with a felt tip pen or Sharpie on the top, bottom, side page edges and sometimes on the UPC symbol on the back of the book.

If excessively worn, they will be marked as 'tray worn.'

Flat trays for SPI games are not graded, and have the usual problems.

If excessively worn, they will be marked as 'card worn.'

The cardboard backing of miniature packs is not graded.

In most cases, boxed games and box sets do not come with dice.

Due to the nature of loose counters, if a game is unplayable it may be returned for a refund of the purchase price.

Boardgame counters are punched, unless noted.

Major defects and/or missing components are noted separately.

Example, EX+ is an item between Excellent and Near Mint condition.

A 'plus' sign indicates that an item is close to the next highest condition.

Catcher is quick with +1 MA in addition to the general 1 MA Humans have over Orks. Ogre and Troll are functionally the same, except Troll is cheaper and Ogre has a useless +1 AG Goblin vs Catcher. Admittedly Orc players are generally 1 MA slower. When only one condition is listed, then the box and contents are in the same condition. Orcs in general have better armor and similar cost.

Boxed items are listed as 'code/code' where the first code represents the box, and the second code describes the contents.

I doubt you could field all three in a single game, but I figured being able to choose from three unique Trolls would be a fun design, and they were a joy to paint.Īnd that’s the team! Don’t forget to check out all the NOCF raffles and stay safe. They’re made from the Rockgut Troggoth kit, with the only conversion being the removal of the rock hat Big Blue/13 was wearing and the addition of his shoulder pad, taken from one of the Black Orcs. To add some more muscle to the team, but mostly for fun, I built and painted three Trolls, each with a unique colour to make them easier to pick out on the table. Can’t say I’ve ever painted up a football before! Uncomplicated to paint, but useful in-game and they add to the overall vibe of the team. The kit also comes with some turn counters and a few balls. The Goblin Bruisers add some nimble and quick-footed players to the roster, and I like how different they feel to the usual Goblin types we see, with very aggressive poses that fit perfectly with the Black Orcs.

Of course, the team isn’t just Orcs, as someone needs to actually play the game and not just beat the opponent bloody.

I might just be a big Night Lords fan, but I really enjoying painting dead or unhealthy skin tones, working in some purples and reds to give a fresh and bloody feeling. His companion/possible snack was a lot of fun to paint. He’s massive, even for a Black Orc, and his aggressive, charging pose gives him a fun sense of immediate violence. It also takes away some of the messing around with the ball, which now just snaps into place when given to a player.Īlong with the base members, I decided to add a Star Player to the team, one Varag Ghoul-Chewer. First, it let me have a nice flat complete base, without the peg hole found in most Blood Bowl bases which breaks the immersion for me and just generally takes away from the model. I also decided to magnetize the ball and each of the player’s bases. I made sure to number each player for ease of reference when playing and keeping track of the team and opted to put them on the players themselves, usually the shoulder pad, instead of the back of the base. This wasn’t actually too difficult, and the results are a team of unique players where no one feels too similar to another, and I’m quite happy with the results. It took a little bit of work, cutting various arms off and attaching them to a different body, using a bit of greenstuff to resculpt some of the shoulders or just helping to blend the parts together. They’re some of the best Orc sculpts we’ve seen from GW, with a real sense of aggression and violent potential.Įach player was converted so no two were exactly the same.

The whole range is fantastic, full of character and a sense of humour, but the recently released Black Orcs are a personal favourite. Last year I had the great opportunity to work on a Death guard Kill Team for the lovely folks over at the NOCF, and when they asked for some project ideas for this year’s raffle, I enthusiastically suggested modelling and converting a team for everyone’s favourite ultra-violent sport, Blood Bowl.
