I’m looking at commisioning an Underworld Denizens team, (a mix of skaven, goblins and snotlings) for Blood Bowl but rather than using the old goblin models, I thought the new (coming out at some point this autumn) night goblin models look amazing.

The lineup would be:

1x Rat Ogre (https://www.warhammer.com/en-GB/shop/blood-bowl-rat-ogre-2026)

6x Skaven (1 gutter runner, 1 thrower, 1 blitzer and 3 linerats) (https://www.warhammer.com/en-GB/shop/Blood-Bowl-Skaven-Team-2020)

6x Night Goblin Linemen (https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/3zbmjzgp/the-big-autumn-preview-night-goblins-hit-the-gridiron/)

6x Snotlings (https://www.warhammer.com/en-GB/shop/Blood-Bowl-Crud-Creek-Nosepickers-Team-2020)

Obviously some of these models aren’t out yet, so it’s early days, I’m still having a think about colour schemes, as with the mixed team of rats and gobbos, getting the paint scheme right to tie them together is key.

I’m uk based, and my budget is around £200-£250, I’m looking for assembly + painting + basing, and varnishing (as these will be played with).

So, I'm a terrible painter, freehanding numbers on the sides of bases is not something I want to attempt with a brush.

Has anyone gotten good results from a fine tipped paint pen?

Currently own New Age and LoG, I just saw that the latest crowdfunder (still open for late pledges) has an option to back for just older waves, and picking up an older box is a little more attractive than getting the latest expansion.

Outcasts + Past and Future look like solid choices?

The thing that's been keeping me from going ahead and buying a goblin team has been that I really dislike the pose of the troll model, and given the team wants to run two of them, I was looking at other options.

Then the new preview came out, with really nice looking minotaur and rat ogre models, crucially with customisation options that I'd love to be available on a troll.

Either a) these new big guys are a sign of things to come, and I just need to wait a little bit and the troll will get the same treatment. or b) we didn't have plastic options for those two, and we already have a plastic troll, I shouldn't wait for something that may never happen.

Dribl and Drull's special rule seems a little ambiguous in it's wording:
"Additionally, whenever Dribl or Drull perform either a Foul Action or a Stab Special Action against an opposition player Marked by both Dribl & Drull, they may apply a +1 modifier to the roll."

I'm assuming that means just the armour roll, am I reading that right?
