I traveled to Nottingham the weekend before last to go to the Mantic Open Day and play in – and win – a DreadBall competition. As I was in “The Lead Belt” I also squeezed in a couple of visits to other toy soldier places. A visual record composed of ropey phone-photos follows.
Lovely miniatures in Foundry Cabinets. They make me want to snap all of my paintbrushes.

Zegema Beach Zephyrs
This bunch of dirty, cheatin’, skinny space-folk is my newly painted Asterian (space-elf) DreadBall team. As of last Saturday the Zephyrs are now the “UK & Ireland Ultimate DreadBall Champions” Continue reading

L to R: Steel Warrior, Huscarl, Stormrage Veteran
I try to avoid going back to work on miniatures that are already based, varnished and photographed. Its hard to justify returning to acceptably finished items when I have so many other things waiting for paint.
I made an exception with this Huscarl, Steel Warrior and Stormrage Veteran though. Something about the plain old metal paint job on the hammers on these miniatures was bugging me. They were too fantasy looking and not science-fantasy enough, although I admit thats a pretty fine, almost non-existent line.
So I added some red glowing bits to the hammers. Rather than paint them glowing from within like lava as most ForgeFather heat hammers are done I painted a couple of bits of the weapons sort of like a red LED, like a lot of the techie trim on my Ursa Miner models. It also ties them to Dark Lord Prowse a little more, although that is more of a happy coincidence than anything else.

Nameless Spawn
My first DreadBall Giant figure is this guy, a Nameless (as in the DreadBall/Warpath/Deadzone faction) Spawn that I finished over the weekend. He doesn’t have a proper name. Im leaning towards christening the big fella “Lester”.

Lunar Industries Lampreys
My first finished DreadBall Season 3 team consists of these… things, a collection of sort of crustacean, sort of squid aliens collectively called the “Nameless”. Continue reading

Death Ferrets
Games Workshop sold a 40K Death Ferret once upon a time. It was an unremarkable ferret model packaged with a gyrinx and a jokaero. I have never located rules or background for the Death Ferret (but if anyone reading this knows anything about either then get in touch please), but space ferrets seemed like a good entry for my Alien Flora and Fauna project.
