Dreadball – Dunedin VI Mega Bowl Results!

The Gamma Slammers did well in their first ever league, not quite taking the top spot this time though.

It turned out to be a fairly small event with five teams competing; 2 Marauder teams including the Slammers, 2 Corp teams , a Judwan team with some Teratons to even up the numbers. The Silver Centurions even made an appearance as one of the Corp teams, as a mate needed a lend of a team. Here’s some photos from the day:

It was a great laugh and a fun time was had by all with everyone getting 4 games in over the course of the day and here’s how the slammers results looked:

Game 1: Gamma Slammers Vs Boner Corp

0-7

Game 2: Gamma Slammers Vs Silver Centurions

0-0

Game 3: Gamma Slammers Vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Teratons

7-0

Game 4: Gamma Slammers Vs Judwan

7-0

Overall the Slammers performed well in all their games, with the offensive coach being an outstanding help throughout. Its the first thing I would get for the Marauders (if not most teams) straight off the bat. The ability to get a Goblin moving that fast is incredible, in one game a goblin managed to get from the centre line, to my end of the pitch, then back across to a strike zone and go for the throw! Even though I got off to a very shaky start, the great results in the second half of the day managed to pull me up the leader board and into second place :D, with the boner Corp netting the top prize, after 7 landslides and a 4-0 victory, they deserved it, with the coach receiving Ultimate, a medal, a trophy and the Dino riding kid (forget his name). My second place prizes were pretty spiffing too though….

That’s a Dreadball trophy and James ‘The Vet’ Syler, which I am well chuffed with, especially the MVP who I think is gonna be a Teraton coach for now :). Not only that but I also managed to get a prize for best painted, a season 1 cover print signed by Jake Thornton and Ronnie Renton…

I’ll have to frame that up :D.

Didn’t manage to get any kills at all throughout the day, which is a big surprise considering their bloodstained past, but I put it down to them not wanting to sully their brand new pitch. My pitch arrived just in time on Friday and I’m very happy with the result. A couple of mistakes have been made by me on the design, specifically the overly dark subs and injuries areas, as well as an incorrect line up marker :(. Here’s a closer look:

Dreadball – Gamma Slammer Update

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….

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.

Dreadball – The Enforcer & Anne-Marie Helder Finished

The first of my MVPs have been finished and here they are:

Dreadball – The Enforcer & Anne-Marie Helder

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:

Dreadball – Teratons!!!

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:

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 😀
