OCP Patriots Guard and Keeper (Libby)

While prepping an extra guard for my OCP Patriots DreadBall team I remembered that I have had a Hasslefree Power Armoured Libby sitting in the box of unpainted Blood Bowl stuff for years now.  A bit like Barik Farblast and Flint Churnblade the Libby figure is better suited to the sci-fi DreadBall setting than it is to Blood Bowl anyway, so I modified the football Libby is carrying into something a bit more DreadBall-y and painted her up.

Flint Churnblade – DreadBall Forgefather/Blood Bowl Dwarf

Another vintage addition to the Ursa Miner Bruins, Flint has been hanging around the unpainted figure mountain for ages.  DreadBall seemed like a good excuse to get him painted, so I went for it.

Barik Farblast – DreadBall Forgefather/Blood Bowl Dwarf

Barik Farblast

Barik is a 2nd edition Blood Bowl Star Player who overcame his racial inability to throw the ball satisfactorily by using a (surprisingly high tech) bazooka.  The models clean lines are quite a contrast with more recent Blood Bowl dwarf miniatures (which tend to look like Warhammer miniatures with their weapons clipped off rather than sportsfolk).  I think that the figure probably fits in better with a game of DreadBall than it does in Blood Bowl.

Cialis Cowgirls – DreadBall Cheerleaders #1

Bambi, Tiffani & Candi.

Most Blood Bowl figures are a bit too fantasy looking to be suitable for use in DreadBall.  DreadBall miniatures are also a bit smaller than the GW heroic 28mm that Blood Bowl figures conform to, which also limits compatibility.

Those restrictions dont apply as much to the second edition Blood Bowl miniatures range.   Continue reading →

DreadMill I – DreadBall Tournament

Posted on 22/04/2013 by sho3box

I organised a DreadBall tournament that took place last weekend.  With the aid of couple of other enthusiasts who managed the scoreboard, adjudication and facilities, DreadMill I took place last Saturday and went off pretty much without a hitch.  The venue was a renovated mill (now a hostel) where the local gaming club operates from, hence “DreadMill”.

Nine of the ten competitors. “Athlete” number ten is behind the camera.

John Doe – DreadBall MVP

John Doe - Nameless DreadBall MVP

John Doe – Nameless DreadBall MVP

 

John Doe (not his real name: his native tongue is unpronounceable by homo sapiens) is the final MVP from DreadBall Season 1 that I have finished.  It is also the final DreadBall Season 1 figure completed, making it a milestone.

I have added a lot of pink to the colour schemes on my DB miniatures. When I painted Coach Renton with a black/pink/green scheme reminiscent of a Mega City 1 character a couple of weeks ago I liked the look of it, so I used a similar palette on John.  The model has a Mos Eisley, tentacle-face vibe, but the vibrant uniform moves it a bit away from the dusty brown Tatooine fashions..

There is a full team of these guys – the “Nameless” – due out later on this year.  I will likely paint the full team in the same scheme.

Reek "Payback" Rolat

Reek “Payback” Rolat

“Payback” is the veer-myn specific MVP from DreadBall Season 1.  The veer-myn team consists entirely of strikers and guards and Reek Rolat is a star guard.  As such he is a bit bigger than the regular veer-myn guards, who are in turn larger than the strikers. Continue reading →

Dean Cain Presidential Shield – Dreadball Trophy

The Dean Cain Memorial Shield

The Dean Cain Presidential Shield

A trophy model was supplied as an exclusive miniature in the first DreadBall Kickstarter shipment.  While sort of fun, miniature trophies are something that I have avoided adding to Monté Figuero before now: I figured that I would never get around to painting them.  As painting every scrap of DreadBall stuff that I am supplied with has become something of a personal goal, I gave the trophy a very, very quick paint job the other day.
