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”.

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 – DreadBall MVP

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.

Renton – Dreadball Coach

Posted on 03/04/2013 by sho3box

CoachRenton

Renton here is a DreadBall coach.  The figure may be a Kickstarter exclusive, but I am not sure.  Its a modified version of the Corporation Major-General model released last year, with weapons removed and a few things altered/added (a mobile device, a pointing hand and a new head).

Wildcard – Dreadball MVP

Posted on 18/03/2013 by sho3box

WildcardB

I was in a bit of a quandary about painting this figure.  Its obviously an homage to Olivia Wildes character “Quorra” from the nice-to-look-at-it-but-bloated-dull-and-directionless TRON Legacy movie.   More or less every version of the model that I have seen painted looks like the photo below: Continue reading →

Ursa Miner Bruins – DreadBall Forgefather Team

Posted on 14/03/2013 by sho3box

Ursa Miner Bruins DreadBall Forgefather Team

I painted up a medium sized force of space dwarfs last year and I named them the “Ursa Miners“.  With a Forgefather team to paint for Dreadball I decided to use more or less the same colour scheme simply because it was easier than coming up with another scheme from scratch.  I named the team the “Ursa Miner Bruins” to differentiate the sportsdwarfs from the military types.
