I chopped a bit of sprue up to glue between the arm and hand.

After dry fitting the hands I felt I needed a spacer make the arms look the correct length in comparison to the opposite arm and body. I used a razor saw to get a neat cut at the arm’s elbow. There is a open hand, a knuckle duster fist, and a gauntlet punching spike. The B.Orcs’ right hand is different between each original model’s pose.

Now I wanted a little more variation in my Black Orcs than just the head, so I decided to do some simple arm swaps. The second 3 I played around with the parts to see how different I could make them look (in addition to using the optional heads). Clipping the numbered pieces off the sprue as they were required. I built the first 3 following the instructions to the letter. The Black Orcs were easy to assemble, I don’t remember any issues. One Goblin has two options, lucky Gobbo, hence two colours. Anyway the instruction sheet below has coloured blobs highlighting the options. The instructions provided are black and white, weirdly I find the coloured instructions easier to follow (I’ve got other GW boxes products that have come with colour prints and then later boxes come with B&W – guess that’s cost saving). So you may as well make them look different too where the option is available. Bloodbowl doesn’t use many figures, and playing in a league encourages naming and training individual team members. It’s worth noting the symbol key, just so you realise which parts are optional and have an alternative available. The assembly instructions are typical GW layout, exploded numbered diagrams, indidicating which pieces at which step. So I cracked open the box to retrieve those new sprues. I fancied building some of the new Blood Bowl models.

I decided to start yet another new project this weekend.
