Coach Orcy
I’m really chuffed with how they all look together and cant wait to take ’em out for their first Tourney tomorrow. Don’t worry I’ll make sure I let you all know how they get on. I’ll also need to give you a look at their shiny new pitch, which arrived just in time 🙂
I’ve been working on the rest of the Gamma Slammer players in order to get them ready for the tournament this Saturday, and am pleased with the progress so far….
Reinforcements
Coach Orcy
The tournament allows an extra 20mc of goodies, and I’ve already decided that means I’ll be taking an Offensive coordinator (that’s where Orcy comes in) and 2 coaching dice. This allows me to make the most of the extra with nothing left over. It is also the best option for a Marauder team in my opinion. The coach means the Gobbos have a much greater chance of being able to pick up, get to the strike zone and throw in one rush, and the extra coaching dice means they have a much better chance of turning that throw into some points. The Orx on the other hand don’t really need any help, all they need to do is cause some carnage :D.
The first of my MVPs have been finished and here they are:
The Enforcer & Anne-Marie Helder Front
The Enforcer & Anne-Marie Helder Back
I’ve also now got some extra MVPs to paint up for a mate, which I’m really looking forward to…
Bonus MVPs
Season 3 MVPs
Especially keen to paint up the Blaine and the Nightshade models as I love the look of ’em 😀
The Silver Centurions so far
Not only the Gamma Slammers got some reinforcements this week, the Silver Centurions also received some love. First up their new Coach, Mr Renton himself! A huge pile of thanks goes out to Sho3box for this extremely generous gift :D, check out his blog here: sho3box.wordpress.com its filled with hobby awesomeness 😀
Coach Renton
I also got a hold of a few extra players in the form of a Jack, a Prone Marker, a Guard and a Striker:
Silver Centurions Reinforcements
And that will be it for these guys so far, maybe a t-shirt?
I’ve gone with the Enforcer and Anne-Marie Helder for the first of the MVPs to be painted, and there going to be in semi-Centurion colours. I’ll just be replacing the majority of the silver with gold instead, to make ’em that little bit more flashy :D. Here’s how they look so far:
Anne-Marie Helder & the Enforcer
Woooooo! The awesomeness that is the Teratons have arrived (apart from the standard restik team :(), and man do they look awesome. I’ve only got the alternate sculpts at the moment, as well as Dozer, as Mantic messed the order up a touch but they’ll do me just fine for now. So let’s have a look:
Teraton Guards
Teraton Jacks
Teraton Keeper
Teraton Prone Markers
Dozer
How awesome are all these?
The Gamma Slammers so far
Not been doing much with the Slammers for a while, but with a mates Kickkstarter goodness arriving so did a whole host of models to expand my Dreadball collection. First up was the first of the Slammers coaching staff, Orcy…
Coach Orcy
Who will soon be joined by some additional players in the form of 2 Jacks, a Keeper, a Guard and a prone marker…
Reinforcements
And the final touch, a t-shirt for the head Coach…
T-shirt for the Coach
I’m wanting to get all of these guys done before the Dunedin VI Mega Bowl on the 2nd November to make sure the Slammers are completely done and looking good 😀
The big white gorilla has now had the final touches added, and I am extremely pleased with the results 😀

Would love to hear what you think?
The armour, fur and flesh is now done on the Alpha Simian and here’s how it looks:
Alpha Simian Front
Alpha Simian Back
I’m very pleased with the results so far, especially in regards to the Albino look as I felt this was a bit of a gamble and could look terribly wrong. Still got a fair bit of work to go on this chap, but he’s been such a pleasure to work on I can’t wait 😀
There is going to be a Dreadball tournament in Edinburgh, the Dunedin VI Mega Bowl, in a matter of weeks and I’m getting very excited. The details of the day have only just been announced and boy, are there some good prizes. Here’s how its looking:
1st Prize – A copy of Dreadball Ultimate, Official Mantic league champion 2013 medal, official Mantic Dreadball trophy and Drake and the Dynamic Dinoborg (Limited Edition MVP)! In addition, the winner gets free entry to Vapnartak 2014 in York!
2nd Prize – Official Mantic Dreadball trophy and James “The Vet” Syler (Limited Edition MVP).
3rd Prize – Official Mantic Dreadball trophy and Chris Nord (Limited Edition MVP).
Best Painted Team – Box art Lithoprint signed by Jake Thornton.
Most violent coach – Coach Renton and Orcy.
How awesome is all that? Not only all this but the first 8 people to buy their ticket get a funky prize as well, in the form of this guy:
Gabe MVP
As you may be able to tell I’ve already grabbed my ticket to make sure I could get one, as I don’t think they’ll stick around for very long. The event seems to be much the same as the tournament taking place at the Mantic open day which I’m hopefully going to be going along to, so should be good for getting into the swing of things :D. I’ve already started to prepare the Gamma Slammers to be a bit more presentable, which will include some extra pose players, a brnd spanking new pitch and maybe even a t-shirt for the coach :).
