It wasn’t until I actually looked at the portals in the DungeonBowl dugout boards that I realized the magic portals emitted blue. I originally went with a purple color and thought it looked ok. I also went ahead and glued the chests shut and have opted to use the popular optional rule of “roll a d6 (adding +1 for each chest opened) and on a ‘6’ the ball is found”. I’m a bit of a fan of basing terrain and grubbins as I feel it helps tie all the bits together, helps visually ground the pieces to the board, and sets them at the same level as the player models. I went ahead and affixed the chests to the same sort of dungeon tiled bases I use for my team models. The chest were certainly the easiest to do with a simple wash of Wyldwood contrast paint for the wood. The only plastic in the DB box left to paint were the treasure chests and portals. I already had all the team models that came in the DB set, as I had been collecting them for Blitz Bowl. I’ve already got plenty of Blood Bowl models on dungeon tile bases (for my Blitz Bowl collection), so the recent re-release of GW’s DungeonBowl was an easy “yes”.
