Old Metal Militia: Bright Crusaders

Another painted team for my Blood Bowl league! The Bright Crusaders. This team is built half from old school Citadel human players and half from new miniatures from Iron Golems.

Originally, the Bright Crusaders are supposed to wear yellow/blue/white uniforms, as shown below:

I suspect that long ago, when Games Workshop's authors had created this game, some of them were loving these colours so much that they designed at least four teams wearing blue and yellow (Reikland Reavers, Dwarf Giants, Darkside Cowboys and, of course, the Bright Crusaders). As I did not want the Bright Crusaders to be confused with the Reikland Reavers, the other human team, I have decided to modify their colour scheme. I wanted the Bright Crusaders to be.... more bright!

So I opted for a golden/red/white theme (to match the helmet's colours depicted on the picture above). Some would say that this looks like a well known NFL team from Sans Francisco, but it was not on purpose: I don't particularly like this team because it has defeated my favourite team (the Dallas Cowboys) twice in a row in the last playoffs.

So, with their brand new look, the Bright Crusaders have also decided to reinforce their team with a big and strong Ogre. They will still play without cheating, but they will be tougher on the pitch and maybe they'll eventually bring the trophy back home.
