I have been having a blast getting into BB.
Here is the progress on my first team The West Coast Wyverns

I decided that I was going to customize the orcs from the boxed set, not because there is anything wrong with them, but because apparently I have a compulsion to convert every mini that I own!

Here is the first Line Orc with a double hand transplant:



I decided to go for a flashy quartered colour scheme:



And went for the weathered look to reflect the team's bash nature:





Sorry about the poor pic quality. I will work on that with future pics/posts

That looks awesome! Well done! Weathering looks really nice. Suitably banged up and used, but still legible. Like they're starting their last game of the season.

Thanks!
I am still contemplating whether or not to add blood splatters.

Looking good dude!

Arguably worse pics, but here is my first Blitzer complete with arm swap:

I have a troll!

I reposed the left arm down so that it does not cover his face as much, I filled the gaps and sculpted a couple of extra scales to tidy things up.
I also customized the chest plate to better fit with the look of the rest of the team.
Now all I need to do is get some blue paint on him and we are away!

Hat trick!
Here is my Blitzer conversion from a Line Orc.
The helmet was scratch built with GS and plasticard. The topknot along with the tiny skull and spikes were also sculpted from GS.
I then sculpted the left hand weapon from GS, and the right arm is a swap from the original Blitzer model but the metal spike features were sculpted by me.
The pose is a little more static, but it kind of looks menacing IMHO



I have also just bought a box of Orruk Brutes! I am going to use 4 of them to make Black Orc Blockers with. I will use the fifth to make the West Coast Wyvern's "counts as" Varag Ghoul Chewer!
