Blood Bowl: Underworld Denizens Team – The Underworld Creepers

Mixed teams are found throughout the Blood Bowl leagues, uniting players from a variety of races and cultures on the pitch. Underworld Denizens teams recruit from the dank caves and foul sewers that lurk beneath the surface, bringing Goblins and Skaven together in a cocktail of fur, fungus, and foul play. Widely despised for their literally low-down tactics, teams like the Underworld Creepers truly represent the worst of both worlds.

On the pitch, Underworlds Denizens teams employ a dizzying variety of sneaky tactics and cunning plays to compensate for their small size and keep rivals on their toes – as you'd expect from a team of Goblins and Skaven. If you're eager to discover fresh tactics and plays, have fun forming a winning combination of players, and backstab absolutely everyone you meet, the Underworld Denizens are for you.

This multipart plastic kit builds an Underworld Denizens team of 12 players for games of Blood Bowl. Using components from the existing Goblin and Skaven team sets, you'll be able to build 6 Goblin Linemen, 3 Skaven Clanrats, 1 Skaven Blitzer, 1 Skaven Thrower, and 1 Skaven Gutter Runner. Some of these players include cosmetic options such as different heads to help you customise your own team. The box also includes six balls, two double-sided Blood Bowl coins, and two turn markers – split evenly between Skaven and Goblin designs – and a sheet of Underworld Denizens transfers with team logos, numbers, and positionals.

This kit comprises 50 plastic components, and comes with 14x Citadel 32mm Round Bases as well as an Underworld Denizens Transfer Sheet. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

The rules to use Underworld Denizens teams in your games of Blood Bowl can be found in Blood Bowl – The Official Rules.

Games Workshop have two broad methods for painting their models. Both are entirely viable options, though have significant differences in the paints required (detailed below). You can find all of the required paints in the 'recommended paint' section below, whether you simply want to get it out onto the tabletop ASAP (i.e. 'Battle Ready'), or want to take your time and make it a masterpiece (i.e. 'Parade Ready'):

1. Classic Method - uses acrylic paints to build layers of colour and depth. Usually topped off with a shade paint to really make the shadows pop. Probably the most beginner friendly method as mistakes are often easy to fix.

2. Contast Method - uses ink-like contrast painsts which sink into recesses, providing depth in highlights and shadows with a single layer of paint. It can take some practise to get this method to look great, but it's highly satisfying when it does work. Less forgiving when mistakes happen, though arguably the quicker method of the two options.
