Blood Bowl Gnome Team Paint Recipes and Alternative Colour Schemes

Now, coming out onto the gridiron in the game of Blood Bowl is… well they’re small, they’re wearing stitched hats, and for some reason they’ve brought a goose onto the field. The team, The Glimdwarrow Groundhogs, are up on pre-order as of time of writing, and I got the opportunity to paint them thanks to a preview copy sent my way by Games Workshop. And, since it’s Blood Bowl, it’s a primary opportunity to put your own stamp on a particular team. Hell you’re going to painting one maybe two boxes of them and a couple of star players at most. Why not do something outside of your norm? So here’s seven outside of the norm ways to paint Gnomes which I hope prove helpful!

Well, six ways and a fox, but who’s counting.

Ten Solar Auxilia Veletaris Storm Section Alternative Colour Schemes and Painting Recipes

During the Horus Heresy, there’s Space Marines. Everywhere. Half of them are really not happy and trying to kill the other half, who are equally unhappy and equally trying to kill the other half. In between, there’s the Mechanicum, the Mechanicus, the Adeptus Custodes, a heap of all manner of others, and the Solar Auxilia. Now, you’re a Solar Auxilia warrior in the 31st Millennium. You’re given heavier armour than your compatriots and an option between a gun which can effectively melt anything up to and including a Space Marine at a distance, or an axe. So what do you choose? Yep. Axe! So that’s how I built the ones Games Workshop sent my way. And painted them all sorts of different colours. So here you are! Ten Solar Auxilia Veletaris Storm Section soldiers, all in different colour schemes and all with Storm Axes because it’s Warhammer; if you can hit it in the face with a big thing, hit it in the face with a big thing.

Ten Bretonnian Knights of the Realm on Foot Colour Schemes and Painting Recipes

Bretonnian Knights? On horses? Not here. Not every knight is lucky enough to have a horse, not in this economy. And in Warhammer: The Old World, that’s been made utterly clear in the release of a new plastic kit for Bretonnian Knights of the Realm on Foot (longest miniature kit name of 2024?) from Games Workshop. Knights in shining silver armour might be the norm that we see on boxes and in all manner of media, but it’s not always the case. Maybe, just maybe, you’re like me and can’t seem to either grasp or fully enjoy the art of painting metallic armour. And that’s okay! Because they are your models. You can paint them however you like. Hell, they’re knights. Heraldry and individual valour is kind of their jam. Anyway, enough preamble. Here’s 10 recipe cards and colour schemes for the knights I’ve managed to ramble about for a hundred or so words.

20 Horus Heresy Solar Auxilia Trooper Colour Schemes and Painting Recipes All In One Place

Horus Heresy? Oh you mean the game and book series focusing upon Space Marines kicking seven shades of Athonian Camo out of each other? Yes. But there’s more to it than that. Other factions of humans and not quite humans were rolling around in the 31st millennium. Not least of which, by a long way, are the Solar Auxilia. And they now have new plastic models in the Horus Heresy tabletop game. Not only that, Games Workshop sent one of the Solar Auxilia Battle Group boxes my way (you can already see where this is going, right?). So what did I do? Yep. Twenty Solar Auxilia Troopers in twenty different colour scheme with their recipes and methods attached into easy to refer to cards for your viewing pleasure.
