Poll: Which Slann Team? (Blood Bowl)

(Is there a poll feature in this forum?)

Slann - space traveling frog men

There are currently two crowdfunding campaigns going for frogman blood bowl teams. I've backed one as mentioned in the 'what KS are you backing thread', but may opt out and go for a different one. Other members of my league are also backing this same team. Plus, the other team is in resin and I much prefer resin/plastic over metal.

For giggles, I'm curious what The Fort thinks.

Here's the team I'm currently backing (unfortunately, not painted):

Here's the other one:


So, I post this here for discussion's sake. Which frog team does the Fort prefer? why?

Those look fun! I think I like the top ones better, there's more personality in them. Their catchers look way better IMO. Also, plastic.

The top option (shown in greens only) are actually going to be cast in metal.

The bottom team will be cast in resin.

I like the top ones better... EXCEPT that little coach mini on the bottom team is awesome.

Yeah, that little dude rules. Knowing the top set is metal would push me to the others I think.

I'm probably going to get the new BB box when it comes out, may not be able to resist a Slann team myself.

Definitely prefer the top ones, all else being equal.

I prefer the poses of the top team, but I wouldn't want them in metal. Go for the bottom lot.

Yeah, I've been leaning the bottom team over the past few hours because they're resin and other coaches in the league are getting that top team.

Here are the campaigns in question:

It would bum me out to have the same sculpts as someone else if I had another option, so I can totally see your choice.

May I ask what everybody doesn't like about metal? I prefer it to resin and its a wash with plastic depending on what you are doing.

I doubt it's a problem these days but my copy of BB had that polystyrene pitch with all the lumps and dips, and metal figures on plastic bases were always top-heavy. These days I prefer plastic just for reduced weight. I think plastics are less likely to get paint knocked off also (though I may be wrong about that).

I do like the catchers more in the first set, though.

Metal miniatures, yuck. Paint chipping, harder to paint, harder to deal with imperfections/QA issues. I think even just 10 years ago, the quality of detail on plastics wasn't as good. But now, the plastics I'm seeing are BETTER than the metals I was seeing back then.

Definitely the first.

As a related questing, I have been playing BB on the PS4 lately and have been contemplating painting some more figures to complement the 6 teams I own. The team that jumps out at me that I don't own from the traditional ones is Undead. What would be the best Undead team to buy (and where to buy it)?

Yeah, I prefer the first team also. I love linefrog #6, the one punching into his hand. I loathe metal though. In the last tourney I played in, I brought my plastic ork team. There is one metal mini on the team...a star player with a chainsaw. After only 3 games guess which one has chipped paint and needs touch up? This weekend I dropped a large metal fig...and now have to find a way to repair the damage. Metal...me hates it.

But that's part of the big problem here. I like that metal team more, but would rather have the durability of the resin.

For an undead team, I feel that vortice sells the best one. He provides three flavors: undead, necromantic, or both combined. His website is one of the tragedies of the internet, so you have to email him to arrange your order. He's legit though, we've ordered from him several times.

Here's his undead: vorticeminiatures.blogspot.com/2014/12/undead-team.html

And necro: vorticeminiatures.blogspot.com/2014/12/necromancer-team.html
