2.2 Modelling and Painting
Playing exciting, atmospheric games with finely detailed, lovingly painted miniatures is
intrinsic to the Blood Bowl experience. With this in mind all miniatures used in the
tournament must be Games Workshop or Forge World miniatures (excluding basing or
scratch-built components), and be fully assembled and painted to at least a Battle Ready
standard. Below are some examples of models painted to a Battle Ready standard. (More
information on Battle Ready can be found at
https://www.warhammer-community.com/.../introducing...
post-1fw-homepage-post-1/)
Any non GW models must be approved by TO. You can email the TO here
Each model must accurately represent its entry on your army roster (What You See Is What
You Get - WYSIWYG) standard for models.
2.3 Converted Models and Units
Many players “scratch build” or heavily convert elements of their model collection, and these
activities are a hallowed part of Warhammer hobby history. For the sake of fairness, we
recommend that any conversion be comparable in size to the most current version of the
model they represent.
This includes conversions/alternatives to represent factions/models no longer represented in
the current model range. Don’t worry - we fully appreciate spectacular modeling skills, but
we just want to make sure everything is clear for your opponent so no confusion can arise
during games.
A Note on Basing: Many models are no longer produced on the bases they originally came
with, please use the base size provided in the most recent box set for the unit in question.
